The door slammed open and Angela dropped to her knees next to Scarlett.
“Babe what's wrong?!” She said panic filling her. ‘Mom dad!’ She shouted through the mind link. Scarlett couldn't move, the entire pain made her body burn, feeling an odd sensation rush to her core. But as soon as it came it was gone. She opened her eyes, her heart thundering. It took her a moment to realise the pain was gone.
“Girls are you two alright?!” Mr Jacobs said, rushing into the room.
“I don’t know, Scarlett screamed and looked to be in pain…” Angela said near tears, something that was a rare occurrence.
“I’m ok… I just… I’m fine.” Scarlett said taking a deep breath, although she knew something was fucked up. Was she getting ill? That was something odd for werewolves but then again it could be the mark on her neck too.
“Are you sure dear? Maybe we should get you to the pack hospital.” Mr Jacobs said, concern clear on his face.
“No, I'm fine, seriously. We
Angela glanced at the Alpha who hadn't joined them yet, his eyes dark with lust and the colour showed his wolf had surfaced. She continued dancing with Scarlett but her eyes were now on Elijah, not once did his eyes leave Scarlett, like a snake entranced by a snake charmer. His gaze followed Scarlett’s every dip and curve, every sway from her friend's sexy hips and Angela understood. Her assumption had been correct… but what did that really mean? Was Elijah really into Scarlett? “Come on handsome, join us!” Angela said as they approached him. Scarlett gave him a small smirk. They began dancing and sure enough, Elijah’s eyes never left Scarlett as he danced behind her. His hands skimming her hips, pulling her against him as she began grinding on him, not even noticing the woman who was dancing behind him. They were in the middle of the crowded dance floor, too far from their friends to see them, too lost in each other. “You look f
She felt as if someone had just shot her through the heart, a ringing screech filled her ears, the suffocating avalanche of pain and hurt filled her tightening her chest. Elijah looked up suddenly, his eyes widening when he saw her. He shook his head. “Red this isn't what it looks like.” He said but Scarlett turned and ran as fast as she could. “Scarlett!” But she didn’t stop, she ran faster. The moment she was out of the club she shifted, turning into her huge silver wolf. She didn’t care who saw her, tears blurred her vision and she felt the agony of her wolf mixed with her own. She had to get away from him, he hadn't changed - he never would… She ran not knowing where she was headed, needing comfort that she so desperately craved. Her heart had been broken, how could he do this? Did he still have a soft spot for Fiona? Clearly, he did… She let out an anguished howl as she rushed into the woods. She heard a distance howl and knew it was Elijah but she didn’
“A-alpha… Who said this is to do with Elijah…?” She said. “What do you take me for? A fool? At first, I didn’t think much of it until you both went to get the desserts at dinner and well… It doesn't take that long to bring a tray of brownies into the room now does it. Not to mention you were smelling strongly of the boy when you returned. I'm surprised Jackson the idiot hasn’t realised or Jessica. But I think with their own marking they haven't been able to focus on much but Elijah’s anger. I’m still angry they kept that from me over dinner! I'm old not a fool girl, now speak up I want the full story!” Scarlett was too stunned, her cheeks now flaming up. “I uh… It wasn’t planned… I …” “Oh come on, if you’ve jumped that thing no point in getting all shy. From what I can tell you have, I was thinking you were indeed glowing.” Amelia said. “I'm not asking for his bedroom performance, I just want to know exactly what is going on between you all. I know fo
Scarlett whimpered, the burning pain that wracked her body paired with her core throbbing was something she never wanted to experience. She didn’t understand how she could go into heat. Yes, she was marked but she had sex with Elijah countless times. She sunk deeper into the water trying to remember her lessons about it. All wolves experienced heat unless they complete the mating. She felt disgusted, that was never going to happen, and she knew her father would probably have let any male have his fun if she was at his pack. She hated this, it was unfair how it was the women who went through so much. Stupid Alphas, stupid men. She wondered why she wasn’t interested in women - women were more compassionate, more understanding. She swore as pain wracked her body once again. “Oh fuck.” She breathed, reaching down in the water she parted her legs letting her finger find her clit and begun rubbing circles on it. It wasn’t enough, in fact, it did nothing to e
She pushed him with all her strength, a growl tearing from her lips. He stumbled, he had been so focused on what he had been about to do he had not seen the steely eyes of Scarlett’s wolf or the dangerous aura that now surrounded her. She didn’t hesitate to scratch him across the face with her nails, it would take longer to finish him like this but she didn’t care, he deserved every ounce of pain she would inflict on him. “Fucking bitch!” He growled, lunging at her. She stood her ground, ignoring the pain of her heat. She grabbed him by his manhood, digging her nails into it. The smell of blood and fear mixed in the already strongly filled air. He growled in pain. She let go feeling disgusted, as he fell to his knees clutching his bleeding bits. “You don’t deserve to live.” She said quietly, knowing he wouldn’t heal, not with her ability. If the goddess had given her anything good in life it was this gift. “Scarlett, don’t you dare! Do you think you - a fucki
“Scarlett are you alright?!” Jackson asked, worry filling him as Jessica ran out pulling Scarlett into her arms the moment the Beta placed her down. The hug only agitated her extra sensitive skin. “I just want to go to my room, can I get ice?” She whispered to her mother. Jessica looked her over, panic filling her as she searched for any mark on Scarlett. Amelia hurried from the house, she looked worried and as if she had aged ten years in the last half hour and was regretting not telling Elijah sooner where Scarlett was. If she had all this could have been avoided. “Of course! Indigo, Jackson, get ice.” Jessica said as she and Amelia led Scarlett inside. When she was settled into the bath with lots of ice, the three females surrounded her. Jessica was consumed with guilt, Scarlett was going through this because of her father. How she hated the man… but she felt confused after what Nick had told them. It meant something bad had happened in that cave… Wh
“Elijah… I know you're concerned for her but you can’t help her right now. You’re unmated.” Jackson said his anger dissipating, placing his hands on his sons’ shoulders, wondering when he had grown so much. Recently despite their differences he had grown as a man. Blue eyes met blue but Elijah didn’t have the will to fight anymore. “I love her dad, she needs me.” He said quietly. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise, as Amelia hid a small smile, for once proud of the young Alpha. Jackson was the last to understand, sighing he looked at him sympathetically. “And I am happy to hear that son... but you can’t go, your wolf…” He trailed off, realisation hitting. Elijah didn’t mean brotherly love… He meant… “Let him go, Jackson. Scarlett does need him.” Amelia said firmly. Jackson turned to her shocked that she wasn’t even moved by this. Elijah ran up the stairs, he didn’t care about the consequences, not right now… ------------ Scarlett writh
Jackson stood numb as Elijah ran up the stairs, shell shocked. Jessica had her hand clamped over her mouth too shocked to speak. “The boy Scarlett’s hinted to be in love with… it’s not Elijah is it?” Jackson asked quietly. If it was a one-way thing, he would understand but if this were from both of them… it would be problematic. “And if it is?” Amelia retorted. “They are step-siblings.” Jackson growled, his eyes flashing. Amelia hid the flinch that automatically threatened to overcome her body. His Alpha aura weighing down on her. “Jackson… let’s talk about this calmly.” Jessica whispered. “He is up there! Doing Goddess knows what with his sister!” He hissed. “Oh, so now they are siblings? What happened when you were telling him they aren't actually siblings? For heavens darn sake, shut that mouth and man up! If you chose to marry and mate Jessica that’s on you! What if they turn out to be mates?!” Amelia snapped, her patience wearing
