Her Forbidden Alpha

Despite both their faces being emotionless, Amelia observed them with interest, wondering if Scarlett's wolf had anything to do with Elijah treating her better. Not realising she was very far from the truth.

“It seems they are putting their differences behind them.” Jackson said.

“Which we are so happy to see.” Jessica added with a nod. Elijah’s eyes flashed, that cold anger returning once again shooting the couple a glare.

“Not that it's any of your business.” He said icily, eating some of his quesadilla. Scarlett looked at him, them marking each other had really hit him, making her wonder if it would be even harder for them to be together. Just the thought made her heart hammer loudly, she looked down at her plate suddenly losing her appetite. They made small talk as they ate and Scarlett contributed here and there, the weight of her mark and their parents bond made her feel rather down.

After they were done Scarlett left the room to get the dessert, taking a few dishes with her.

“I'll help.” Elijah said standing up after a moment, much to Amelia and their parents’ surprise. Whilst Indigo only wrinkled her nose and looked disgusted.

He entered the kitchen to see her cutting freshly baked brownies, leaning on the counter. Her ass stuck out nicely, making him want to do a lot to her right now... He closed the door quietly making her turn.

“What are you doing here?” She asked turning back to the brownies. He placed the dishes down and walked over to her until he was standing behind her, his hand on her ass.

“We need to stop doing this... We were almost caught by Indy first and now mama?” She said in a hushed whisper, hurrying over to the oven and crouching down trying to see if her face looked ok. Elijah walked over to her and taking her by her shoulders made her stand straight, he brushed his thumb along her lips.

“I know... and I know you need time, we'll take it slow. I'll try to be careful... It ain't easy when you look so good.”

“Hm, thank you. However, you didn’t need to go bat-shit crazy on Liam.” She said, rubbing a hint of red from the corner of his plump lips.

“Oh yeah? Then he needs to stop flirting with his Luna.” Elijah growled. Her eyes widened in shock, his words ringing in her ears.

“Luna?” She said, Elijah raised his eyebrow.

“I said I'm not giving you up, no matter what... That means you will be my Luna... and I can't wait until I can tell the fucking world you're mine.” He said quietly. Scarlett looked into his cerulean blue eyes.

Was he really the fuck boy who use to sleep with several girls in the same week? Right now, it was hard to believe. She smiled locking her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

She wondered who his mate was, what she looked like. Sure she wished by some luck it was her but her luck wasn't that good, fate gave her shit after shit. There was no way she would get him as her mate.

“I'm sorry that I'm taking your mate from you.” She said in her head to a woman she never wanted to meet. “But I don't regret it, and I won't ever let him go.

Elijah held her to him, inhaling her floral scent. Kissing the side of her head he realised how she fitted against him perfectly.

“Please be made for me.’ He thought in his head. He kissed her shoulder before both forced themselves back.

The words to express her emotions were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them. It still scared her, nothing good ever lasted long in her life and she was terrified of losing him but she promised herself that soon she would tell him.

“Well, I better get these to the dining room.” She said picking up the baked goodies and leaving the room. Elijah was about to turn when he sensed as if someone was outside, he turned sharply to the window, scanning the garden outside

He saw a flicker of movement in the far bushes and rushed to the patio doors that led to the vast garden. Stepping out into the night sky he sniffed the air, the smell was faint, hidden under several other scents. It was very familiar, one he placed instantly, however it shouldn't have been here on the Alphas private grounds... even the omegas only came when Jessica called them for a full clean of the house. No one should have been out here tonight and the fact they had tried to disguise their scent..

His lips curled into a cold smirk, he had probably seen him and Scarlett. Elijah walked back inside, he wouldn't do anything and would let them play out their move first. He would wait and watch, one wrong move and he'd fucking kill them...0000000000000000
