Alpha Of Aberdeen
Chapter 33

My body falls to the ground, causing me to fall on all fours as each of my bones break. I lookaround frantically, searching the faces to replace Malachi's wolf staring at me. I glance down to seelight brown paws for my hands and Malachi walks to me, slowly looking into my eyes. “Luna, areyou okay?” Malachi says. I jump back, turning my head side to side. “How did you say that?" Iquestion curiously then realize I just talked to him.

“We are mates. We can mind-link. That's how wolves communicate in wolf form and we can do it inhuman form too,” He explains, walking to me and rubbing his snout into my neck. I nudge him withmy forehead and hear Paisley starting to cry. I turn my head to see her struggling in Cypress's arms.I walk to her, and Cypress kneels to let me see her. To my surprise, she grabs my snout with her littlehand. I thought she would be scared, but once Paisley looks into my eyes, she coos. “she knows it'sme’ I think happily, nudging her hand and giving it a lick. I look to Cypress. "It's okay, Chloe. I haveher," he says, giving me a reassuring smile. "You make a beautiful wolf by the way," He muttersbefore turning to take Paisley inside.

I look in the window of the house and see my new reflection. My wolf has light brown fur, and myeyes are almost lime green. As I look at myself, Malachi's wolf comes into view behind me from thewindow. I turn around to face him. “This is amazing. I feel full of energy, and I'm so happy Paisleyisn't scared of me. I guess I can't call you wolfman anymore.” I say, full of excitement. Malachi's wolfalmost looks like it's laughing. I tilt my head to the side, like dogs do when they are confused, andgive him a questioning look. “Your wolf is gorgeous. My wolf likes her a lot,” Malachi says, staring atme. “I can't feel my wolf yet, so I don't know how she feels about you,” I say, wishing I could laugh.“Even in your wolf form, you're still making jokes I see” He says as his wolf shakes his head.

I start to walk into the forest where I hear Malachi behind me. “This hearing is amazing,” I tell him,turning back to face him. Malachi nudges me, and I cuddle under his chin pressing my wolf's headinto his chest. “Let's go for a run through the forest,” Malachi suggests taking a step forward."Okay," I say, taking off in a run. "Let's play tag,” I suggest, running ahead of him. Malachi chasesafter me. He is right on my heels when I take a sharp right, jumping over a small creek. I can hearthe stream so clearly. I jump up onto a large rock to check my surroundings for Malachi. I look downto see a shadow moving in the tree line and my ears perk up at the sound of a twig breaking to theleft of me.

I jump down from the rock, rushing for the middle of the forest, then I jump over a tree limb. As I'min mid-air I hear “Hello Chloe." I crash land, tumbling several times until I come to a stop. I get to myfeet, looking around to replace who could have said that. “Chloe, do not be afraid; it is me, your wolf.We finally meet’ the voice explains. I stand in the middle of the forest stunned. I feel crazy like thosepeople in parks talking to themselves and I wonder if it's okay to answer myself.

I decide to hell with it and give it my best shot. 'l can talk to you anytime I'm in my wolf form?" I askand hear my wolf chuckle. 'I will always be present, but in the far distance of your mind. When youneed me, I will come forth anytime you call upon me or if i feel that it is necessary to speak’ shefurther explains. I get pulled out of my conversation by the sound of the crunching of leaves. I turntoward the noise and notice I can see clearly in the dark as if I'm wearing night vision goggles. "He'sclose. If you don't want to be caught, you better run’ my wolf insists. I can feel her own excitementfor the chase, along with my own.

I dart away from the noise, running deeper into the forest until I replace myself close to the ocean. Iemerge from the woods to a clearing that overlooks the sea from a cliff. I stand at the edge, takingin the scent of salt in the air. "Malachi is here’ my wolf warns, so I turn around to see Malachistanding at the clearing with his eyes fixed on me. "So, you thought you could get away from me?"He asks, slowly stalking toward me.

When he is only a few feet away; I use the force of my back legs, launching myself over his head andrunning into the woods again. “That was a nice one, Chloe. You're going to make the perfect Luna.The Moon Goddess chose perfectly," my wolf praises me, and I feel proud that I outsmarted theAlpha. I keep running when I come to a large opening in the woods. It's a cave, and I walk in, slowlychecking the surroundings to make sure there are no bears, even though they wouldn't be much ofa threat to me now.

After checking the entire cave, I replace it's all clear, so I lay down and face the entrance with my headresting on my front paws. I continue to watch the opening waiting for Malachi to show. I sniff the airand smell his scent is close by, then in seconds his wolf appears with his eyes glowing yellow in thedark. "Luna?" Malachi says with a low growl, planting his front paws inches away from my face. "Oh,you caught me almighty, Alpha," I tease. "I knew you would be fun in your wolf form. Did your wolfcome out?" Malachi asks. "Yes, she did. She is as feisty as me. I think we are a perfect match,” I tellhim happily, getting to my feet. "Let's head back," Malachi suggests. "The last one to the packhousehas to cook breakfast for a week," I say as I run out of the cave, getting a head start.
