Chapter Seven

**Wed, June 1, 2022.**

Hayden's P.O.V.

A few hours ago, I sat straddling Malachi as I listened to his father recounts their life story. To say my blood was boiling in my vein was an understatement. I didn't understand how an Alpha could go through so many resources to try to kill a one-month-old baby; he must be delusional, to attempt such a treacherous act. An Alpha is supposed to protect his pack, not try to kill its members because he is afraid of a baby. I listen intensively as James goes over every little details of their previous life. From how, he had spent sleepless night patrolling the abandon building or house they were shacked up in, until the lunatic would catch up to them again, and they would have to move. My heart wince for them and the bitter card they were dealt.

It was a go thing dad decided to hold the meeting in the conference room because I don't think his office could hold us. Plus, the tension of James unloaded such a deep burden needed a big room to run freely.  However, with every word James spill, Malachi's body become more constricted, until he finally broke. My heart sunk along with his as he claimed that what his family had to endure was his fault. I felt the rabbit hole he sunk into as a dark thundercloud rest heavily on our fresh link. I felt his deep shame that incinerate the fragile lines that connected us, and a distress whimper weasel its way out of me as my mate's guilt and shame weight heavily on me.

And, I wrestle with my mind to try to figure out something that would ease his torment. But, only one option came to mind, it was like a second instinct, and it came easily to me as I hurried to soothe him with delicate licks to his neck. Immediately, our link is ardor with warmth that calm him and his once rigid muscles loosens. I was so delighted to have done such an excellent job at soothing my mate's worries.

I didn't have time to focus on what else our parents had left to discuss, I was focus on my task ahead and the massive cock that twitch under my ass. However, I was instantly drawn from my task as soon as my mom said that he wasn't supposed to come to my coronation. Although, I didn't want the damn thing, she has no right to tell me mate that he isn't allowed to go. The more I thought about what she said, the more my reasoning flew out that window and a blinding rage fill me, which was surprising considering that I am not an anger person. But I was dead set on not yielding to this reason that she offer, however as soon as Malachi open his man and began his logical explanation after his father had gotten involved. I eventually yield to my mate's request…

So now, I am here currently standing to a far end of the field, at a stupid event that I didn't even want to come to in the first place but was force to. I mean, how can he side with our parents when he damn well knows that we needed to be close? Even our parents knew how much we needed that closeness to strengthen our bond. So, him siding with them was a bad move, I can already feel the loneliness he was emitting over our bond and the dire need to have me wrap around him like a second skin.

I can't help but sullen as Numerous people came to congratulate me or to wish me a success reign has the new Alpha of the Crescent moon pack. I politely fake smile and accepted their warmth gestures before return to me sulky mood. Not only that, but I mean, how can I be happy when my mind, body, and spirit were somewhere else, or when Malachi keeps sending out his distress signal? Furthermore, I wanted to avoid leaving him, I wanted him by my side when I accepted this unwanted title. But he decided it was the best thing for us to do with, even considering how much pain we would be in.

“What's with the sour face” Benji asked as he makes his way over to where I am.

His right arm immediately wraps around my shoulder as he drew my body closer to him. As I said before, I know about the little crush he has on me, so it is surprising to me that an uncomfortable feeling fall over me immediately after he touches me.  And, instantly try to pull away from him, it wasn't because of what happened earlier today when he manhandled me. No, The solely has to do with the fact that I have found my other half and I no longer felt comfortable with his touch or anyone's touch as a matter a fact.

“Come on bro, you not still mad about what happened earlier.” he questions, and I quickly shake my head in answer.

“Then what's the problem,” Benji press dryly.

“Umm, nothing” I replied swiftly.

“If you sa--” he stops mid-sentence and narrowing his eyes at me as he sniffs the surrounding air.

“What?”

“Nothing, you just smell different.” He murmurs before sniffing me again. Weird much, but for one thing he's right, I did smell different. I had spent two hours straddling Malachi's lap while rubbing all over him to create a perfect mixture of our scent. A satisfied grin spread across my face as I glow at the thought of others smelling Malachi's pine-cone scent mixed with my vanilla one that is embedded in my clothe.

“Huh--- new cologne,” I told Benjamin with a mischievous grin.

“New cologne,” Zameir purr as he releases a soft tug of need over the link we share with Malachi and his wolf.

“No, it is more of a sce--” Benji tries to say, but I interrupt him.

“Hum Benjamin, do you mind showing me who's the Alpha of the river pack, he's the only Alpha I don't know” I quickly changed the subject.

With the considerable crush, he has on me, changing the subject seems like a good idea, seen as I want to avoid being on the receiving end of Benjamin anger again. And it was also a good question, considering that I don't know the Alpha Trent.  I mean, if I'm going to hate him, I at least need to know who my hatred will be directed at. Benjamin looks at me with uncertainty, before hesitantly point to an oversized Sasquatch. I couldn't make out much of his features from where I was standing, apart from his low cut hair with its unrecognizable color. He looks almost the same height has my dad. The only thing that separated him from the group he's standing with is his distinctive musky scent of sweat and bourbon that poured out of him.

He surrounded himself with elders from his pack and a few other pack members while they drink and laugh. From where I stood, it seems they were having a jolly good time at my coronation that my mate forbidden to attending. Why was he privileged to enjoy the celebration of my birth when my mate had to hide in the house? The more I thought about Malachi have to hide away or what that lunatic has been trying to do to my MALACHI. The more my scowl deepen and an unknown again fill me as I felt the wide tulips glass crack under my tight grip and the stronger my abhor increases from that bastard.

“Hayden!!!.” Benjamin and my mom shouts my name in a chorus. I jerk in shock as mom hastily grab my right hand that's covered in blood, I didn't realize how strong my grip was on the glass until it broke.

She immediately wrap my right hand with a cloth napkin as tight as she could, before ordering Benjamin to take me home. Never have I ever been this excited to go home, I Hum with eagerness as the thought of being close to Malachi again. I didn't wait for Benjamin as I hurriedly walk ahead of him, as my long stride echoes heavily on the forest ground. Even though Benjamin called for me to slow down, I didn't stop my hurried movement until I am standing on the back patio. I ignore Benjamin's presence as I hastily grab the doorknob to unlock it, but before I can't enter the house, Benjamin is pulling on my shoulder to halting my motion. An intimidating growl I didn't know I possess flees me, and I jerk my shoulder harshly away from him.

“What's your problem?” He spat.

“ Leave me alone” I growl.

“What?” He stared in shock, but all I wanted to do was go to Malachi nothing else and Benjamin is just in my way; I glare daggers at him as the sour look on my face increase and a deep growl make it's self known.

I swiftly swing the door open and quickly close it behind me, I didn't feel one ounce of guilt as I left Benjamin standing on the other side. I hurriedly make my way through the lower part of the house before taking the stairs two at a time as I followed Malachi's delicious pine-cone scent to the south wing.  A brown wooden door separated me from him, as quietly as I could muster I slow turn the doorknob and swing the door open. J am instantly hit with the intoxicating scent of my mate. Before I can even conjure up another thought, I am stripping down to my underwear and climbing into bed with him.

I immediately snuggle into his warm body as a sigh of contentment leave me. My body slowly melted into his and his strong arms instinctively wrap around me before he unconsciously pulls me into him. My head rest on he's chest as his soothing heartbeat lullabies me to sleep.

******

I stir from my sleep, but kept my eyes shut as I wiggled farther into the warmth beside me. Unlike most people, I didn't feel uncomfortable stripping down to my underwear and getting in bed with my mate or even laying next to him. It felt so natural to be close to him like this, it's as if my body desperately needed his touch. He continued his feather like caress as his fringes pass through my hair immediately pulled a satisfying mewl from me, the hard surface I lay on reverberate with a chuckle.  And I quickly tilt my head up to find Malachi is already studying me with an airy smile. I return his gesture with a sheepish one that heated my cheeks. 

“You're adorable. ” Malachi whispers in a raspy voice before throwing a light kiss to my forehead.

And, I timidly push my face farther into his chest to hide from the embarrassment, I mean, how can he say that? I don't see how someone can find a mop of loose curls, sleep crust eyes and my breath; Which is probable the worst adorable. I mean, my mom constantly tells me how handsome I am. But adorable is a new one, no-one else has ever told me that before; I felt special to know that he thought of me that way.

It doesn't surprise me that he knows exactly what to say to turn me into a bright crimson red. Considering that he has been doing it from the moment he arrived yesterday. His deep laughter increase;filling the room with his joy, and the heated blush quickly spread from my cheeks to me earlobes.

“So how was your coronation?” he questions as he tries to ease my embarrassment but changing the topic.

“Horrible” I respond in a timely manner.

“Really, from where I stood it seem colorful” he tells me.

“You were there?” I ask with wide eyes as my head hastily tilt upwards to look at him again.

“No,” he said with a light chuckle, before continuing, “I saw the light through the tress from the balcony” he concludes as his chin jerk to the window in question.

“Oh, that's not much of a view; I wished you were there” I told him.

“Yeah, me too” he replies as his hands continues it's soothing caresses of my head.

Even though, I wish he was there a small part of me was slightly glad he wasn't, if I was unable to contain my dormant rage. Just imagine what Malachi would do when he saw the man who wanted to kill him. Or even worse, maybe that bastard Trent would have taken that easy opportunity to kill him, like he as always wanted since Malachi was a baby. My body stiffens at different outcomes that course through my mind, and a cold shiver run down my spine. Has, an image of Malachi bleeding out in the middle of my coronation as a blood cover Trent standing over his lifeless corpse with a triumphant grin.

“What's wrong” Malachi ask with alarm lacing his voice. As his index finger and thumb grasp my chine before, he tilts my head up to look me in the eye.

“N-n-nothing” I whisper in a hush tone.

“We should get out of bed.”  I blurted out in an attempt at changing the conversation before he can press any farther.

“Yeah!”  He mutters before rolling from beneath the blanket.

My eyes instantly the trail of his bareback from his firm ass to his muscular back, I ogle him with my mouth hang as he flexes his muscles to remove any stiffness. He's hot, I thought, as I pray to the goddess above that he would turn around, so I can drool over his front too. As if the moon goddess heard my prayer, Malachi body move in a smooth motion as he turns around to look at me. And I can feel the heat rise in me as I gaze at his washboard ads that sit firmly on his torso. Has, a thin line of hair travel through the valley that separated his ads to disappear into the waistband of his black underwear. For the umpteen time this morning, a gasps weasel from me as I drool over the erected monster his boxers conceal. Would it fit when the time comes for us to be mated as one? I said to my subconscious as my hole clench at the very thought of having him in that way. My rod immediately throbs with need as zameir pulse out a wave of sexual need.

“There's no way I am getting out of bed now” I thought to myself as my cock ache for him to touch it.

“Are you coming” he asks, and my head snap up to his God like face. Malachi stared at me with a sly grin and I quickly shake my head, No.

“Why not” he taunts as he moves towards the bed again. He places a right knee on top of the bed as his leg still rest on the floor. His monstrous junk lazily slip to the other side and a slightly wet spot begins to form at the mush-head of his dick. I lick my dry lips as Malachi hunch over me; resting his weight on his two fist as he looks down at me from my right side. His joker likes grin spread farther as he sniffs me. Immediately his eyes turns a bright yellow and a deep growl left him and I swiftly pull the covers up to conceal my body.

“I smell your arousal, Hayden,” Malachi groans out in an unnaturally deep voice.

“N--no, I-I'm n-not” I stutter. But he was right, no matter how I try to hide my arousal, I could still smell its intoxicating essence.

“Don't lie to me, baby” he growls.

And before I can think of another lie to tell him, he had snatched the cover from my body, revealing my very swelling cock that spill out another load of pre-cum. I quickly move my hands to conceal the pouch of my boxers as I stared at him like a deer caught in an on come headlight. My lips parted in a gasp as I watch my mate's body crawl on the bed again. Before I know it, his entire body is hovering over me with his hands firm planted on either side of me head. His body slowly descend onto mine and I immediately feel his manhood rub against my hands that conceal my twitching cock.

“I want to kiss you” Malachi breathes out.
