Her Forbidden Alpha novel Chapter 48

　　Two days had passed since Scarlett’s heat and Elijah never left her side. Jessica, Amelia or Indigo would pass them food or ice but Elijah not even for a moment took a break. He held her in his arms, even when she would fall asleep from exhaustion he stayed with her, soothingly caressing her skin, kissing her shoulders and neck.

　　The pain increased each day and she came to a point she wasn’t even able to talk, too out of it to focus, but one thing she stuck to was refusing him. Although the rejection hurt brutally Elijah remained strong, even though it clearly meant she had emotionally shut him out.

　　The heat lasted for three full days and with each one that had gone, seeing her in so much pain terrified and hurt Elijah.

　　Before she had fallen asleep on the second day, she made him promise to not fuck her even if she asked for it. He agreed although he kept his shattering heart masked inside, he had simply smiled and promised her he wouldn’t. He would promise her whatever she wanted and would carry it through.

　　Aside from looking after her, he had made sure Hank was kept under his men's care not wanting anyone to interfere, refusing to let even his father handle this but at the same time refused to leave Scarlett’s side. The examination was done and they were just waiting for the results.

　　He awoke to the sound of a piercing scream and jerked up from the bed to see Scarlett drenched in sweat, her bare breasts rising and falling, he scooped up her naked body.

　　“Come on let’s get you to the bath.”

　　“No! I can’t do this anymore it’s too much; I want it gone.” She said, tears of pain in her eyes. He looked at her, her words from the previous night echoed in his mind, her hand went to his dick pushing aside his boxers but he shook his head despite his body reacting to her touch. A low groan escaped him.

　　“No… I’ll help ease it off… but you didn’t want this remember?” He said softly. She crashed her lips against him using the last ounce of strength within her, her body shaking with pain. He kissed her back, missing this, missing her love but he knew he couldn't take it further.

　　A whimper left her as she crumpled against him. He lay her back on the bed, running his fingers down her smooth pussy, hissing at the wetness that was pooled between her thighs. He closed his eyes trying not to look at how sexy she looked. His touch only making her spread her legs wider for him. He knew this relief wouldn’t last long but if it even helped a little… He played with her clit, pleasuring her, trying not to focus on her salacious moans.

　　“Oh fuck.” She swore, pleasure consuming her. He opened his eyes when her hand wrapped around his neck, he smiled softly looking down at her beautiful face. Even without a drop of makeup she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. He never took his eyes off her as the look of pleasure crossed her face, her back arching as she bit her lip, her body consumed with euphoric pleasure. All she wanted at that moment was for Elijah to fuck her but it seemed he wasn’t so attracted to her that he was willing to take advantage of the heat… In her pleasure-filled haze, she refused to see the logic and love behind his actions to honour her wishes, only making her anger grew.

　　“I love you.” He whispered but his words were drowned out by her moan of pleasure as her orgasm ran through her… He saw her lose consciousness and knew it would probably help for less than an hour. He placed a soft tender kiss on her lips, deciding to get her bath of ice ready before she woke up…

　　-----

　　Two days had passed since Scarlett’s heat was over. She had spent the day after recovering, spending most of it asleep. Elijah didn’t leave her side and she didn’t say anything, too tired and drained from the torture of her heat. But last night she had told Elijah to leave, he had looked hurt but he didn’t push it, telling her he was there if she needed him.

　　What had happened with Hank still troubled his mind and Aaron had mind linked him that morning that the results were in. He was just getting ready to leave, checking his phone once just encase Candice had messaged. Although it was Scarlett’s pack, he was worried about it just as much. There was nothing from her yet, he looked at the bathroom door wanting to speak to her before he headed out…

　　He needed to be the one to tell her about the whole situation with Hank. The elders including Hank’s father demanded answers and although rumours were aswirl that Scarlett killed him, nothing had been confirmed.

　　He walked through the bathroom and knocked lightly on the bathroom door, he could hear her move around the bedroom, hearing her stop when he knocked.

　　“Red… Can I have a word please?” He asked softly.

　　“Sure, I'm getting dressed, I can hear you.” She said. He closed his eyes, resting his head forehead against the door.

　　“I just wanted to talk about Hank, we’re having a meeting today… I need to know everything… Please?”
