SWNOVELS Chapter 21
Malachi's POV
I pull up at the airport in record time. I went over the speed limit to get here. I was so ready to fuck her right here in the airport parking lot. I get out super-fast to look for Chloe, but as I'm looking around, I don't see her. I walk around the whole front entrance of the airport and there is still no sign of her. I go inside thinking; “Chloe may have gone inside to use the restroom or something.’ but it's pretty much empty.
I pull out my phone while walking back towards the car and call Chloe. I can hear it ringing, “she must be close, how did I not see her?" I follow the ringing to find her phone on the ground with no Chloe. Terror struck my heart as I wondered where she could be, I shouted her name, running around in a panic. I pick up Chloe's phone, finding the screen shattered. I feel my wolf's anger rise with each second that passes, which creates my own anger to be ten times worse.
I dial Paul, and I don't give him time to say a word. "Gather the pack, he took Chloe. I'm going to rip his throat out and listen to him gurgle in his own blood," I say, furiously. “We meet in the woods, I need to shift, I will get a better scent in my wolf form.” I command through the phone. "We will be there,” Paul replies and hangs up.
Leaving my car at the airport, I run to the woods. Once I'm past the tree line, I shift mid-air, jumping over a log. I plant my paws on the ground and let out a howl. I turn my head to see my pack coming through the trees. I give them a look, and I run towards Chloe's scent with my pack right on my heels.
Chloe's POV
There's a bag put over my head, as I'm forced in the car. I frantically throw punches, hitting the man who grabbed me from the airport. "Damn, you didn't tell me she was a fighter," the stranger's voice says. There is no response from the driver. "Let me go, you pieces of shit!" I scream and start kicking,
but he grabs my feet and uses something to tie them. Realizing what's happening I start to panic and get angry.
"Oh, wait until Malachi finds you! He's going to rip your fucking head off and use it for a soccer ball, you fucking Psychos!" I yell. "Shut her the fuck up!”, a familiar voice says. Before I can say something, the guy in the back lifts the bag to the bottom of my nose only revealing my mouth, to apply tape.
"MMMM!" I try to scream, “This stupid fucker forgot about my hands’. So, I swing both my hands hoping it makes contact with this bitch’s face. Tossing my arms wildly, I make contact with the stranger's nose, and smile when he cries out in pain. Feeling proud of myself, I can’t help but smile. “I hope I broke it’, but then everything goes dark.
I wake up with the bag still on my head and realize they have me tied to a chair. My head hurts so bad. The place feels cold like I'm in the freezer. I hear a door open, and I flinch. "Well, what do we have here? Did the bitch finally wake up?” The same voice from the back seat says. I feel him standing in front of me. He brings a hand to try and grab my breast when I jerk away from him. He slaps me for resisting, and the pain from the punch earlier pulses through me like poison. He reaches for me again but doesn't get a chance when the door swings open, and someone throws him across the room.
"I told you not to fucking touch her!” The familiar voice says. I hear the footsteps coming closer to me, and I breathe heavy and tremble. The bag is ripped off my head, and I look up to find Alaric's face inches away from mine. "Hello, Chloe. Did you miss me?" He asks, smirking, before he rips the tape off. "Ouch!" I start laughing. He looks at me, confused, hoping to see more fear from me. "I don't see how your situation is so funny?" He says curiously. "Oh, this is going to be fun" I laughed harder, pissing Alaric off.
"What the fuck is so funny?" He yells. "I can't wait to see your fucking blood splattered all over the place,” I say in an evil tone. "How do you see that happening?" He questions with a grin. "You fucked with the wrong Luna, especially one that is carrying the Alpha's baby!" I tell Alaric, grinning devilishly and for a moment I could see the worry in his eyes. "Oh, you should be worried. Malachi is going to rip your bitch ass to pieces, and I'm going to watch him do it,” I grin. I guess I hit a nerve because he slaps me so hard it spins my head to the side. I won't let him see the pain. I keep laughing to piss him off.
He walks out with his goon right behind him and I spit the blood coming out of my mouth on the floor when they're out of sight. Alaric didn't stay gone for long. He came back alone this time. He walks behind me to cut the rope. "What are you doing?" I ask. "You will see,” He snarls, grabbing me by my hair and pulling me out of the room, down a dark hall. "Where are you taking me?" I demand. He opens the door to a bedroom, pulling me in. "You see that baby ruins my plans,” Alaric says displeased. My eyes go wide. "You're not harming my baby, you piece of shit!" I shout.
"Well, you need to have my baby, so we will have to get rid of his" He smirks. "You will have to kill me before you ever touch me," I retort. "I need to have the first child to take the Alpha’s spot, and you are the perfect way to do it. So, I can get revenge on my brother at the same time." Alaric grins mischievously. "You disgust me! You're pathetic,” I spit in his face.
"You're going to regret that" He growls, throwing me on the bed.
Malachi's POV
We run, tracking Chloe's scent, when it stops. I shift to my human form as do the rest of my pack. "What is it?" Paul asks. "She is close,” I reply. I look around to see a house on the hill to my left; it's over a mile away. "Chloe is there,” I point. We all shift back, slowly moving towards the house to not alarm anyone keeping watch. “I'm going to kill him."
We stand at the tree line. I see a man on the front porch smoking. I crouch so he can't see me. We shift and Paul hands me a pair of pants. I slip them on. "Paul, I want everyone to surround the house. Stay alert. I don't know how many are here, everyone needs to be in wolf form," I state. "What about you, Alpha?" Paul asks. "I'm going to kill my brother with my bare hands," I say with an evil look coming over my face. "Malachi?" I turn to see Amelia walking to me with tears. "Save her and kill anyone who put their hands on her,” She says with fury. I give her a nod in agreement, and she shifts back.
The pack stalks the radius of the house while I crouch, slowly moving to the guy on the porch. I wait until he moves to look over the railing, facing away from me. I jumped the fence and grabbed him, putting him in a chokehold. "Where is she?" I demand in a deep voice. "I don't know what you're talking about,” He retorts, so I tighten my hold. He tries slapping my forearm, letting me know he is tapping out. I release slightly. "She is upstairs Alaric has her in a room with him" He blurts out in hopes I'll spare him
"One more thing, you fucked up," I whisper angrily. I snap his neck like a twig and toss him over the rail. I open the door, looking in all directions. There isn't anyone in sight, so I go in, making it to the bottom of the stairs, but I'm stopped in my tracks by a blood-curdling scream.
