Her Forbidden Alpha novel Chapter 66

　　It was the following day and Scarlett was on her way to Amelia’s. They were leaving for The Black Storm Pack tomorrow morning and she wanted to see the woman before she left.

　　She was walking along, lost in thought until she saw Fiona and Elijah having a heated argument up ahead. She stopped frowning, did the woman not get a hint? Elijah growled at her making the girl break into sobs again. Scarlett shook her head; she was fed up with her constant tears.

　　Walking over she grabbed Fiona by her arm and wrenched her away from Elijah, her eyes a steely silver as she glared at her.

　　“You know… I gave you a clear warning. Stay. Away. From. My. Man.” Scarlett said her voice cold, her Alpha aura surrounding her making Fiona look at Elijah fearfully. He simply shook his head.

　　“I think I’ll let your Luna deal with you.” He said. Leaning over he gripped Scarlett’s chin, kissing her sensually. “I’ll see you later, I'm heading to the packhouse to organise our team.”

　　“See you later.” Scarlett said, all the time not letting go of Fiona’s arm. She watched Elijah walk off before turning her gaze back to Fiona. “I warned you…”

　　“I love him! It’s not my fault!” She sobbed; Scarlett frowned.

　　“He isn't yours. As your Luna by going after the Alpha you are directly insulting me!” she said, now letting go of the woman's arm. She slapped her hard across the face. Fiona gasped as her head snapped to the side sharply, pain throbbing through her. Scarlett grabbed her by her neck and lifted her up trying to control her anger.

　　“Because I'm your Luna I won’t do more. But I swear… Chase Elijah again and I will make sure you are thrown out of this pack! Do I make myself clear?!” Scarlett snapped. Fiona looked at her, whimpering as she felt blood trickle out of her nose. She had lost, even if her heart didn’t want to believe it. There was nothing left to hope for and she knew Scarlett would follow up on her threat, Elijah had said the same thing minutes earlier. Seeing the hatred in his eyes for her had hurt a lot. A foreign feeling bubbled in the pit of her stomach for the woman in front of her but she seemly looked away, casting her eyes to the floor.

　　“I-I promise, I won’t try anymore… It’s clear there is no place in his heart for me.”

　　“Yeah, there isn't and this time I hope you remember that.” Scarlett snapped icily. Fiona simply nodded feeling defeated. Scarlett pushed past her feeling annoyed, she had ruined her mood entirely!

　　She reached Amelia’s cottage knocking on the slightly open door. The smell of tea brewing filled her nose when she heard Amelia speak.

　　“Come on in you don’t expect me to come and welcome you graciously because you’re the Luna now?”

　　Scarlett smiled as she pushed the door open and stepped inside.

　　“No, I would never expect that of you.” She said amused. Looking around she saw the table was already set with Cherry Bakewell Tarts, Angel Slices and Coconut Cake. All homemade and smelling divine.

　　“Good!” Amelia snorted as she turned the pan off and poured it into two mugs.

　　“You baking for me is enough.” Scarlett chipped in slyly, making Amelia frown at her whilst bringing the tea over.

　　“Oh, don’t let it get to your head. I baked these for me, now unless you want me to give you a good beating sit that ass down and tell me everything.” She said making Scarlett smile.

　　“Ok. if you say so.” She said picking up a tart and taking a bite. “Goddess, these are magical!”

　　“Why thank you. Now no dallying, I want all the details minus the nasty bits.” Amelia said, happy to see the mark that now graced Scarlett’s neck. Scarlett smiled as she began to tell Amelia the full events of the day of the blood moon…

　　30 minutes later Amelia sat back smiling, happy to hear it all, including Jackson and Elijah had lunch together. Things were indeed looking up.

　　“Now I am glad, I do think you’re too good for that fool! But I think he is improving a little.” She said, smiling as she placed her empty mug down. Scarlett nodded.

　　“He’s improved a lot, I really do love him.” She said smiling softly.

　　“I’m sure you do!” Amelia said, her smile now faded as she looked at Scarlett seriously. “You are leaving tomorrow?”

　　“Yes…” Scarlett said, the mood shifting drastically as the women fell silent.

　　“You were blessed by the Moon Goddess, given as a gift to our kind. Sadly, it was used against you in the evilest way and worse, at the hands of the man who was meant to be your father. I know it will be hard to face him, but I also know you are strong enough to do so. You are an Alpha Scarlett and although that man deserves a painful death, don’t do anything that will make you regret it later.”

　　Scarlett looked at her. Amelia had always been a wise woman and although she wanted to tear her father to shreds or torture him the way he had her, she knew what she truly needed to do was find closure. She would be the one to end his life, but she would also remember what Amelia had said. She nodded.

　　“I understand Grandma.” She said quietly. Amelia smiled at her and gave a small nod.

　　“I’m glad, you are a blessing child and above all else I want you to know that.”

　　Scarlett let her words sink in, she didn’t know why the goddess had blessed her as an Alpha, but she would never take it for granted. Sure, she had often resented Selene, but she had also been the one to bless her with Elijah as her mate. She would be an Alpha that would make her pack, her family and above all her mate proud. Picking up a slice of coconut cake she smiled contently, something about such a simple conversation with Amelia put her at ease…

　　Night had fallen and Scarlett was sitting on Angela’s bed; her friend had been a lot more silent over text and Scarlett wanted to spend a little time with her at least. Knowing she was going through a lot.
