Her Forbidden Alpha novel Chapter 6

　　The sun was barely up and Elijah was on his way to the training grounds. Even if he had just got back yesterday, it didn’t mean he was going to slack off from his duties. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge he saw Indigo standing there, in tracksuit bottoms and a tank top, yawning away.

　　“Good to see you're not slacking.” He said tossing her the water bottle and taking another.

　　“You know mom and dad won’t let me slack.” She said, catching it before she stretched.

　　Elijah looked at her amused, although she was awake, she was clearly not fully there.

　　“And where’s Red?” He asked, last night flashing in his mind. His question seemed to wake her up as she shuffled on her feet avoiding his gaze.

　　“She doesn't really train with us… Dad’s given her permission to train solo.” She mumbled.

　　Elijah frowned. “We’re a pack, we train together. Who does she think-” he made to walk past Indigo thinking how he did not expect that from Scarlett. She always loved to train and was one of the best warriors in the pack, well she was when he last saw her two years ago. Indigo grabbed his arm.

　　“Don’t Elijah… For once I think Scarlett did the right thing.” She said looking up at him. He saw the pain in her eyes.

　　“What is it…” He asked, his voice almost a growl. The girl flinched and Elijah took a deep breath trying to calm down.

　　“I-it’s not my place to say… but when the others saw her wolf form… she faced a lot of bullying, especially from our age range. And then one day things got out of hand…” She whispered, her voice barely audible. Elijah listened, anger rising within him.

　　“What did they do?” He asked, his alpha aura pressing down on her like a blanket. Indigo stepped back fear filling her, although she knew he would never hurt her, her wolf side still knew an alpha and fear settled in.

　　“It isn't my place to say… I wasn’t even there... but I heard… if you want to know you're going to have to ask Scarlett. Even mom and dad don’t know.” She said. Elijah nodded curtly.

　　“Fine, I’ll do that. You head out, I’m not joining today. Is Scarlett upstairs or out?” He asked.

　　“She’s gone.” Indigo replied, hoping that she did not get in trouble with Scarlett. “Please don’t mention me.”

　　“I won’t.” Elijah said as he headed to the door, he needed to find her.

　　After a good fifteen minutes of trying to sniff out her scent, he finally found her just outside pack borders near the river. She was using the nearest tree as a punching bag, splinters of wood breaking away with every punch, the stain of blood on the tree showed him she had not gone easy. Her hands were wrapped but he could see they were now torn at the knuckles. She looked as smoking hot as ever, sweat trickling down her bare stomach, her choppy hair tied in a messy bun on top of her head as a lot of loose strands framed her face.

　　“Is it wise to be training outside pack borders?” He said, making her pause. She turned and wiped her forehead, dressed in black yoga pants and a patterned sky blue sports bra that she was squeezed into, showing off a lot of cleavage.

　　‘Damn!’ He thought. What were those made out of? So many women seemed to disappear in sports bras and here she was showing off her delicious twins with a cleavage any girl would kill for… She spoke, bringing his head back to the present.

　　“Aren't you supposed to be in the pack training grounds?” She said just as last night’s event returned. She blushed, glad her face was already flushed. Elijah did not miss the sudden tinge that darkened her face.

　　“I wanted to know why the strongest she-wolf in the pack was missing?” He asked crossing his arms. As much as he wanted to tease her, he did not trust himself. Last night had been a clear eye opener to exactly what he thought of her and out here, secluded… her dripping with sweat… was not going to help him in this matter.

　　“I prefer to train alone.” She said turning her back on to him. As she bent down picking a fresh bandage to wrap over her hands, his gaze fell to her ass. ‘Fuck.’ He thought looking away.

　　“Alpha’s orders Red, we’re a pack we train together.” He said. She frowned.
