Her Forbidden Alpha novel Chapter 59

　　The days had flown by and although it felt like ages for the Blood Moon to come closer, at the same time there was a lot to do. With their planning of the attack on Zidane’s pack, they were kept occupied and Scarlett was grateful for it. Jackson was the same and although he didn’t lash out at Scarlett as he did with Elijah, he wasn’t the way he used to be, still not able to understand their relationship nor expect it. Luckily Jessica and Indigo were a lot better and to Scarlett’s surprise, she learned that Indigo knew from the time she had seen them in the bathroom. This had shocked Scarlett greatly, but she appreciated Indigo not making it harder for her, not knowing Elijah had warned her not to.

　　Rumours were spreading that there was a woman in Elijah’s life, or that he was having a forbidden relationship with a mated she-wolf, none however came close to the truth. Apart from a snarky comment from Keira at one point about their newly found friendship no one else seemed to say anything although they often got curious looks.

　　Fiona hadn't said anything, but Scarlett had a feeling she didn’t want Elijah to get angry with her. Much to Scarlett’s surprise she even kept away from Elijah although she often looked near tears. Scarlett didn’t bother with her finding the girl increasingly annoying. Elijah had not asked her how their conversation went that day. Something that she was surprised about but appreciated, it showed he cared and trusted her and wasn’t interested in Fiona.

　　Today was the day that a few Alphas that were willing to help were stopping by for a meeting in person. It was a complicated matter but a few of them wanted to see Scarlett’s ability as an Alpha. After all, there was no council or rules any pack followed it was just the Alpha who ruled, so stepping in and interfering like this was not something that anyone appreciated, an Alpha did not like anyone in their business so doing this was looked down upon. Everyone understood there were innocent wolves getting abused and it was the only reason they decided to assist.

　　There was also only 2 days until the Blood Moon and Scarlett’s nerves were all over the place. The fear of all the possibilities was hacking at her nerves although she tried not to show it.

　　She now looked in the mirror dressed in black jeans and a grey top, tugging at the sleeves, did she look too young? Not serious enough? Should she wear a Jacket? She looked at her vibrant hair that she had redone just the day before sighing deeply did she look reckless?

　　“What’s on your mind?” Elijah said his strong arms wrapping around her tightly from behind, instantly calming her and her wolf. He rocked her side to side as he looked at her in the mirror, she smiled softly leaning into him,

　　“Just if I can do this.” she said, his warmth and his scent comforting her.

　　“You can, and I’ll be right there,” he said kissing her neck softly. She took a deep breath and nodded.

　　“I know,”

　　“So ready to face them?” he asked, she turned in his arms locking her arms around his neck and nodded.

　　“Yeah,” she said softly, he kissed her deeply wanting to do a lot more but knew they had a meeting to attend.

　　“Fuck tonight I'm not letting you sleep,” he groaned as they walked out the door. she looked up at him.

　　“I’m looking forward to that,” she said softly kissing his neck, letting her tongue flick his sensitive spot, satisfied when she felt his breath hitch,

　　“Fuck. Don’t do that,” he groaned squeezing her ass as he pulled her against him “Feel that?”

　　She smirked feeling his hardened shaft against her stomach, “I love how easily I affect you,” she said sucking lightly on his neck but enough to leave a mark, a mark she knew would disappear quickly.

　　She forced herself back as Elijah looked down at his pants

　　“Damn and we need to go now,” he said taking her hand as they left her bedroom

　　“Tomorrow what time are we leaving for London?” she asked, just the mention of the mating ceremony made her stomach flutter nervously.

　　“In the afternoon. There’s a thing or two I need to take care of regarding business, guess you and the others could enjoy sightseeing,”

　　She nodded not able to say more. She often forgot he had a degree in business and was a lot more than just an Alpha. She herself had been severely lacking in her job at the restaurant and she had left the salon ages ago. Sighing she decided to pop in and help out for free tonight, she was grateful they even let her keep her job. Putting it down to her being the Alpha’s daughter, whatever the reason, she was grateful.

　　They walked in pleasant silence to the packhouse, his arm occasionally brushing hers, it felt comforting, and she wished things could always be so relaxing.

　　“Alright, Alpha Red, let's do this.” He said teasingly placing a soft kiss on her lips before pushing the door to the meeting room open.

　　All eyes turned on the new pair. There was Alpha Jackson at the head along with three other Alpha’s, there was Alpha Rafael of The Black Storm Pack Alpha Daniel of The Lone Moon Pack and Alpha Tristan of the Red Blood Pack. Along with them was Alejandro, Rafael’s 15-year-old brother, who looked a cross between being bored out of his mind and wanting to castrate someone. Scarlett was surprised to see him there considering his age.

　　Then there was Beta Alfred of The Silver Fang Pack and Beta Dylan of the Crimson Moon Pack both who were standing in for their Alpha’s who couldn't make it. The only ones from their own pack were Beta Nick and Aaron.

　　“Elijah!” Rafael said standing up. Although he became an Alpha at a young age, his pack was huge and well known, Elijah knew if he sided them the others would easily follow. And Rafael’s support was absolute before he even came here.

　　“Rafael,” Elijah said meeting him with a manly hug and handshake, before meeting the other Alphas. Scarlett gave a small nod to all of them before she took her seat at the table.

　　“Nice to see you again Scarlett,” Rafael said,

　　“Nice to see you both again as well,” Scarlett said, Rafael grinned

　　“Yeah… well I begged Alejandro to come…” he said, his brother gave him a dangerous glare and Rafael scratched the back of his head grinning sheepishly.

　　“If you’re all done, shall we get to the fucking meeting?” Alejandro said in his rugged voice, all eyes went to the boy questioningly, despite being 15 there was something about him that felt… different almost dangerous. But no one there could explain it. Despite the blatant disrespect towards the Alpha’s in the room, no one said anything, apart from frowning disapprovingly.

　　“Yes,” Jackson said trying not to let the strange aura from the boy distract him, “As we have already told you, Scarlett is an Alpha wolf she had a right over that pack, I know we’ve already talked about it, so the main thing is… Scarlett, care to display your capability.”
