Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter 55

　Let’s Get This Straight

“Hmm it is but I think I’m ready to go to training with you. To take part with the rest of the pack.” She said quietly, making his eyes widen, all trace of sleep gone.

“Really?” He asked hugging her naked body close, she nodded feeling his hard shaft pressing against her stomach. He smiled making her heart flutter. She loved it when he smiled like this, looking so boyish, his large eyes sparkling. He kissed her suddenly, making her smile against his lips before she kissed him back. A small giggle escaped her lips as his fingers brushed her waist, tickling her slightly.

“Why does that make you so happy?” She asked when he broke away from her lips, peppering kisses down her neck and over her mark, feeling his soothing lips cool the throbbing. She sighed, wondering was she to be stuck with it all her life?

“Because you’re a part of this pack and I want them to see their badass Luna’s skills.” He said littering kisses down her shoulder. She sighed softly and buried her head in his hair, he kissed her breasts as she took a deep breath.

“Elijah?”

“Mm?” Came his muffled reply as he enjoyed kissing and nipping her breasts.

“After everything is over, can you mark me? I mean, I don’t know what will happen, but I don’t want this mark on me forever.” She said quietly. He looked at her sharply, knowing exactly why she said after, just encase she isn’t able to handle it. Remembering what the healer at The Black Storm Pack said he shook his head.

“It’s risky Red.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I know, but I don’t want this mark here forever. I won’t be accepting my mate. I’m stronger than the average wolf, I could maybe handle you marking me over it.”

“Let’s discuss it later.” He said kissing her lips tenderly, he was scared of losing her. She nodded before they both got up, knowing they needed to get to the training grounds. Elijah hadn’t been for the last few days and he wanted to talk to the group as well.

They reached the training grounds, which was a large open area. There were mats spread out for sparring, at least 40 people there. This was one of the three training groups and made up mostly of the young adults. They were all stretching, talking and laughing as Liam told them to speed up with their warmups. Spotting Elijah and Scarlett a silence fell over them.

No one knew about their relationship yet. Well apart from Fiona, Scarlett’s voice wasn’t unrecognisable and she had seen who he had left the meeting hall with. As predicted her eyes were glued on them as they stopped in front of the group. Scarlett didn’t bother paying her any attention, looking across the crowd instead. There was Kiera, Monica, Aaron and Liam stood at the front too. They had heard about what had gone down and the entire pack also knew about her mark, although they didn’t know who marked her. Many of their eyes dipped to the ugly mark on her neck.

Elijah looked at them, his eyes hard. “Right, there’s one thing I want to make clear before we start. Whilst I wasn’t here a lot of shit went down. Everyone in my pack deserves equality, whether it’s religion, gender, race, I don’t give a fuck, everyone is fucking equal. Last week someone notified me that someone in this pack was being picked on for being gay, then Scarlett was bullied for being an Alpha female? What the fuck is this shit? From here on out, I won’t tolerate even the slightest slur from anyone. We are one. Remember that and if anyone, and I fucking mean anyone, decides to bully or abuse another I will personally take charge of their punishment.”

The group was silent for a while before the wolves clapped or cheered.

“You said it Alpha!”

“That’s damn right we are one!”

Scarlett smiled slightly looking at Elijah, he really was going to make a great Alpha. She just wished Jackson could see that rather than try to blackmail him, although she had no idea how serious he was about those threats.

“Scarlett!” Angela said winking at her. “Want to be my partner?”

“Scarlett will spar with me.” Elijah said looking at Angela, who simply smirked.

“Ok Alpha!” She said. They all were paired up whilst Scarlett and Elijah took their place on one of the mats.

“You do know these mats won’t be enough to cushion your ass.” Scarlett said flexing her hands. Elijah smirked.

“No but they’re enough to cushion that sexy ass of yours.” He said, thinking she looked sexy as hell in her black sports bra and pants.

“Hmm let’s see then.” Scarlett said falling into her stance. She made the first move spinning and punching him, he blocked throwing a sharp jab at her stomach, she jumped back aiming a low kick to his shins, he grabbed her ankle pulling her roughly towards him – a smirk on his face. They continued; swiping, kicking and blocking. Both worked well together and soon they had forgotten about the group watching them. Although Liam had told them to start everyone was too busy watching Scarlett keep up with Elijah. He wasn’t going at her at his best but he wasn’t giving her a free ride either.

He now grabbed her ankle, Scarlett frowned twisting in his hold and punching him on the shoulder, making his grip loosen. She gave him a sexy wink distracting him and was about to kick him when he knocked her other leg out from under her.

“Fuck!” Scarlett gasped, not expecting that.

“Your good Red, but I’m better.” He said as she fell on her back. She wasn’t going to go down that easily, she pulled him down roughly by his shirt knocking him straight into her chest. A few of the boys whistled and booed as Elijah momentarily lost focus, moving back his gorgeous blue eyes wide with surprise. Scarlett smirked raising her hand she punched him across the jaw making it crick.

Silence ensued as everyone waited for Elijah to get angry, instead, he rubbed his jaw moving back still straddling her. Their eyes met and she gave an apologetic look, although that gorgeous smirk of hers never left her lips.

“Oops?” She said.

“Guess all is fair in love and war huh?” He said getting off her, holding out a hand to her and pulling her up. Several of the pack members looked at Scarlett, impressed at her skills against Elijah.

“Hey! Watch it!” Keira called as Fiona ran off sobbing, bumping into Kiera roughly as she passed by her.

“I’ll go after her.” Monica said.

“No. Training isn’t over.” Liam said.

“She’s just lost her brother…” Monica trailed off, looking at Elijah whose eyes darkened dangerously stopping her mid-sentence.

“I’ll go.” Scarlett said suddenly. Elijah looked at her wondering what she wanted to say to her but he couldn’t really ask her without a mind link. He gave a small nod and watched her break into a jog running after Fiona.

“Right, everyone get back to practice.” Elijah said clapping his hands together.

—–

“Fiona!” Scarlett said, slowing down as Fiona came into view. Fiona froze, not turning around still sobbing. Scarlett walked over to her, she hadn’t really talked to the woman alone but she knew they needed to do this.

“Scarlett.” She said wiping her tears as she looked at her feeling hurt and upset, how could Elijah leave her for Scarlett? She was rough, tough and somewhat rude in her opinion. She knew she was sexy, anyone could see that, but she wasn’t the epitome of feminine beauty.

“Can we talk?” Scarlett said thinking now that she was in front of her, she didn’t even know what to say to the brunette. Fiona frowned slightly, she didn’t get upset quickly but Scarlett had killed her brother and stolen her man from her. Although she knew deep down inside Elijah never loved her.

“Ok.”

She turned and walked off towards the forest. Scarlett fell in step with the taller girl as a tense silence fell between them.

“Look, I’m not going to sugar coat this, but you know that Elijah and I-”

“Are committing incest? Yes, I do. It’s disgusting I don’t know what he sees in you Scarlett but do you really want to be the reason his reputation is ruined?” Fiona said, her eyes filling with tears once again. Scarlett frowned, her eyes flashing silver.

“Listen here and listen good.” She said, her voice as cold as a winter night. “What Elijah and I do, is no one’s business. We are not committing incest, we are not related by blood. We do not need to prove anything to anyone. I’m here to explain one thing to you and since you wanted to do this the hard way, we’ll do it the hard way. Stay away from my man or I’ll tear that hair from your pretty little head. I’m fed up with you clinging and latching on to him any moment you get. He’s done with you, so back off.”

“I could make him happy. I’m Luna material and you’re marked by some rogue or something, he isn’t your mate.” Fiona said looking at Scarlett’s mark with clear disgust on her face. For once her sweet voice sounded poisonous to Scarlett.

“News flash hun, he isn’t yours either and you weren’t the only woman in his life. He had several other bitches lined up. Now he belongs to me and me alone. So, keep your claws off him or trust me honey, if I bring mine out, you won’t heal for months.”

With that said Scarlett turned and walked off, trying to calm the simmering anger that Fiona had ignited within her. Leaving a very shocked Fiona behind.
