49. Speaking The Truth
Last Updated:
2021-08-03 00:29:54Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. A threatening growl from Elijah was the first thing Scarlett heard as her mind tried to register what was happening and then a shriek that belonged to Fiona. Her own heart seemed to have stopped working when she realised the bullet didn’t make contact with her. She looked up, her ears ringing when she saw Elijah standing metres in front of her blocking her from Meredith. Aaron had lunged for the gun, taking it from Meredith as her husband pinned her down trying to control her. Jackson growled dangerously at them.
The coppery smell of blood filled the air as the droplets of blood that hit the floor at his feet made Scarlett’s chest tighten.
“Elijah!” She shouted, coming back to reality. Running towards him at the same time as Fiona, Elijah turned, relieved that she was ok. He could feel the biting pain of the wolfbane-laced silver bullet but it was more than worth it to see the concern in her eyes.
“Elijah!” Fiona sa

“Kyle Sanders, Andrew Black, Callum Jones, Derek Adams and Logan Hanston.” She said, each name that came from her mouth made Elijah angrier… Apart from Derek the rest were some of the strongest of his men… Men who were meant to lead and protect their pack… Liam clenched his jaw in anger from across the room. Scarlett had been through so much and hadn't even said anything... A few of the men who had been mentioned their fathers were present and although two looked shocked the others looked rather uneasy. Elijah mind linked the five in question, instantly summoning them to the meeting room. “Can I also get a knife drenched in wolfsbane?” Scarlett asked suddenly. “What for?” Elijah asked. “To show them why I have no mark on me.” She said looking up into his eyes. He shook his head, she didn’t have anything to prove… Why should she hurt herself to prove something to ignorant fools? “Please…” She added giving him a glare. “Oh, I’ll get that.” Harry

Elijah’s mark was only now beginning to heal and he whistled as Scarlett’s arm was left with just blood, the wound gone. “Wow…” He said. He knew she healed fast but that... No wonder she had said to him the first time he had licked her wound that she’d heal, that wound had been deep but he hadn’t thought much of it. Jessica gasped in horror grabbing Scarlett’s shoulders as she stared into her eyes, a sickening through crossed her mind. “How long have you healed so fast?” She whispered. Scarlett looked into her mothers’ eyes, that was one truth she wasn’t ready to share yet… “When I-” “Since she was a child.” Elijah said, his eyes looking into Jessica’s who staggered back breaking into sobs. Scarlett glared at Elijah who simply shook his head. “She needs to know… You can’t keep fighting the world alone.” He added quietly, his words struck a chord within her and she frowned. “I am alone now. I ‘was’ alone and I always have been.” She said icily.

“What do you mean?” He said feeling as if she had just slapped him across the face. He stood up, his stomach twisting, since returning from their trip the conversation had been bought up twice but she had side-lined it both times. Just the thought of her not being in the pack made him upset and filled him with dread. How would she become his Luna if she wasn’t planning on joining the pack? “I mean I need to handle Zidane… I have a pack who needs me.” She said quietly. If she was to take Zidane down, she needed to show him she was on his side, or under his control at least. “And I will help you.” He said. “You are not alone Red.” “You have a pack to run, if you’re with me he won’t believe I'm willing to join him…” “So, you want me to let you go alone?” He said frowning. “Let’s not discuss this right now… Tell me, is there anything else you wanted to discuss Alpha?” She said, making her voice seductive.

“E-Elijah?” Fiona’s voice came, Scarlett tried to turn her head but his grip on her hair was firm. “Stop..” She whispered but Elijah didn’t seem bothered or he just didn’t care as he began pounding in and out of her painfully, yet the pleasure that accompanied it made her want to scream out. She bit her lip trying to stop herself as he bent down, his lips brushing her ear. “Don’t hold those pretty sounds back or I’ll go rougher kitten.” He whispered. “Baby, she’s outside- Ah!” She yelped as he gave her ass a sharp spank. Elijah smirked letting go of her hair, he wrapped his hand around her throat pulling her up against him, his teeth grazing her ear. “Then let her hear how much fun we’re having.” He whispered, his canines grazing her neck just below her ear making her whimper. His other hand was now grabbing her boob, squeezing it between his large hand. A salacious moan escaped her as he pounded into her, her moans now accompanied by Elijah’s own gro

“It is not ok.” Jackson growled, hating the man more than ever. No one deserved that and especially not a child, not caring when Elijah pulled Scarlett close burying her head in his chest. “He’s messed up and needs to be held accountable.” Jessica was silent, how dare he… how dare he abuse her daughter… their daughter. She felt angry at herself for not seeing it. How could Scarlett, a little girl, take it all in and be strong just to protect her and Indigo? When it was her job as her mother to protect Scarlett. Years of remarks she made towards Scarlett telling her to be easy on Indigo, implying she had had it easy when she had had it worse. Feeling disgusted in herself for even saying that, an apology would do nothing, she owed Scarlett so much more than that… “So can we change the topic.” Scarlett said feeling uncomfortable as she tugged away from Elijah, seeing the anger in his eyes she gave a small comforting smile. “I'm fine.” He didn’t say anything, sim

Two days had passed since that conversation. Elijah and Jackson were at odds. Although they were working on gathering their allies, the tension between them was strong. Jackson wasn’t completely himself with Scarlett either, much to her dismay. However, she knew he needed time and she respected that, he treated her like his own ever since she came to this town. The weather was cooler today, the sun warming her skin soothingly. She turned in Elijah’s arms, looking at his sleeping face, he truly was handsome. She brushed her fingers over his brow when his eyes opened, still clinging to sleep. “Go to sleep kitten, it's too early.” He mumbled, his voice thicker than usual only making her core clench. He really made her want him every second of every day. “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.

Scarlett had returned to where the rest were training and they spent a good hour doing seriously gruelling training. She had to admit Liam knew his stuff, pushing them all to their limits. Elijah was brutal too, commanding, firm and didn’t sympathise with anyone. Watching him made her chest swell with pride and her stomach flutter in admiration. He truly was an excellent Alpha already. He didn’t ask her what she had talked to Fiona about and she wondered if he would later. They had just finished when Angela came over to Scarlett who was lying on her back on one of the mats, both women now soaked in sweat. “Soo, we need to go shopping.” Angela said bending over her hands on her knees. “Why?” Scarlett groaned as she sat up. “For the Blood Moon Ceremony?” Angela replied, as if this was the most obvious thing. Scarlett sighed; she wasn’t sure it was something she was looking forward to. Elijah’s adamance they could be mates was making her hopeful and she

Their reactions were polar opposites. Liam looked as if he had just been hit with a sledgehammer and Aaron looked stunned. Liam looked away first, a frown crossing his face. His fists clenched as he took a deep calming breath, his eyes flickering as his wolf's anger surfaced mixed with his own. It hurt. It hurt a lot. How could one of his best friends love the woman he had loved for so long? It had never been a secret, sure he never stated it much, but she was the only one he had ever wanted. In fact, he had wished for the blood moon to come sooner so he could know if she was his mate… She could still be his mate… Elijah watched them both. Aaron was still trying to comprehend his words, running his fingers through his hair repeatedly. Trying to form a sentence but only resulting in spluttering and stopping. It was Liam’s reaction however that made his stomach turn a little, not missing the betrayal, pain or confusion that was rolling off Liam so obviously. “What the

Her Forbidden Alpha Bonus Chapter - One Winter Night
Winter had settled upon the town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, blanketing it and its surroundings in a deep layer of powdery snow. In the woods not far from the town, was the home of The Blood Moon Pack. A large house stood at the edge of the frozen river, covered in some Christmas lights and surrounded by trees bare of leaves. A small layer of snow clung to the branches. Elijah stood by the window, watching his twins sneak down the path. "They’re off, huh?" Scarlett said from where she was pouring some melted chocolate into a glass bowl. "Yep, and I'm sure we both know where they’re going." Elijah replied, an amused smirk on his lips. Like always, the twins loved to sneak away to their great-grandma Amelia’s. ‘They’re on their way to yours... And this time they seem to have packed, keep them for the night.’ Elijah mind-linked his great aunt. ‘I already knew that. Let me put on some tea…’ ‘Aren’t they too young for tea?’ Elij
Her Forbidden Alpha 77. Epilogue
5 YEARS LATER “Oh, come on Elijah! You have to wear it!” Rafael said holding up the shiny pink unicorn party hat. Elijah glared at his friend. “I wouldn’t be caught dead in that.” He said. “It’s Raihana’s birthday. Come on, she’s going to cry if you don’t.” Elijah raised an eyebrow. “She’s 2. I don’t think she’ll even care.” From across the garden, Scarlett and Maria exchanged looks. “Them two argue too much…” Maria said as she arranged the sandwich platter and set it down. “Bromance at its finest!” Indigo called as she walked out from the Villa. It was Rafael’s second child’s birthday and he had rented a villa for some of their friends. “Look she’s not wearing one…” Elijah said, giving Rafael a look as he pointed at Indigo. “Ok fine… You and Alejandro are such party poopers…” He grumbled glancing at his brother, who to be honest he was shocked he had even come for the party. The rest had come the day be

“Do you Alpha Scarlett vow to treat The Blood Moon Pack as your home and family? To stand by my side as my Luna as well as Co-Alpha?” He said, taking everyone by surprise at his change of the traditional vow. Scarlett smiled softly. “I do.” She said. Elijah sliced his own hand, before taking hers and gently slicing it. They shook hands, their blood mingling and Scarlett was surprised to feel a shift in power, making Elijah smirk. She was after all an Alpha. The pack link was back and she could feel the link between all her members. This was what it felt like to be complete. “I give you your new Alpha and Luna!” Jackson said. “You mean Alphas!” Aaron shouted making every laugh and cheer. “Yes Alpha’s” Jackson corrected, smiling slightly as the couple hugged. “Welcome back Red.” Elijah murmured in her ear making her smile. He kissed her before stepping back and turned to the pack. “I would like to appoint Aaron Nicholson as my Beta and Michael B
Her Forbidden Alpha 75. Alpha Elijah
Several weeks had passed since then and the pack was thriving. The funerals had been hard,but every pack member was honoured. Fiona’s parents had been excluded from the pack. Elijah still did not forgive Meredith for her attack on Scarlett back at that meeting and didn’t need any more toxic people with a motive for revenge around. The only odd occurrence was the strange murder of Alpha Daniel. He had been found dead in his bedroom. There had been no sign of a break in or even any scent and so no fingers had pointed at anyone. Of course, there was a certain name that crossed both Elijah and Scarlett’s minds but neither spoke of it. Alpha Daniel was the reason all the allied packs lost members and no one really cared about his death. His beta was to take charge of the pack until Daniel’s 12-year-old son was ready to take over at 18. The matter was soon forgotten as everyone moved on from the events that had occurred. Half of the old Desert Storm Pack had been moved to
Her Forbidden Alpha 74. Closure
Elijah entered the cells after telling Scarlett he’d be back late tonight. He didn’t want to tell her exactly where he was or what he was going to do, but Fiona had done enough damage and he was the one who would deal with her. He walked to the end of the hall, to the end cell where he could hear her crying. His anger emanating from him. The two warriors at the doors lowered their heads to him. One of them handed him a pair of gloves and he put them on before taking the silver chain whip. “Open it.” He said, seeing Fiona wearing plain white clothing - her arms hooked up, her back facing him. “Alpha! Alpha you’re here to save me, aren't you?!” She said, her voice shaky. Elijah walked around until he stood in front of her. “You really are delusional.” He said coldly. “I regret ever having anything to do with you.” Her eyes widened in shock, her lip quivering. “You don’t mean that.” She whispered. Elijah didn’t bother correcting her, she was too
Her Forbidden Alpha 73. A Traitor
They had arrived home late at night and although they didn’t get much rest after discussing things with Jackson, they had squeezed a few hours in. Elijah had called a mass pack meeting for the following morning. There were some people exempt from it, mostly those in mourning. Although Jackson wanted to know the reason, he refused to say anything. They now were sat around the kitchen table; the sun was barely up in the sky. Being back made everyone think of Liam, right about now he would be training the first group of warriors. Scarlett wanted to visit his parents as well, which she would do whilst Elijah had his meeting. The pain of his loss was hitting her harder than she had thought it would. “I’m going to go shower, I’ll be right back.” Scarlett said standing up, she bent down cupping Elijah’s jaw as she kissed him before leaving their parents and Elijah alone. “Dad as you know, we need someone to overlook things with The Desert Storm Pack and we can all a
Her Forbidden Alpha 72. Moving Forward
The following day came before Scarlett was even prepared for it. Breakfast was over and everyone was going to gather at the training grounds. Scarlett and Elijah were the first ones there. Just being here left a bitter taste in her mouth, the memories were hard to swallow and she couldn't wait to get out of here. “Relax kitten.” Elijah said rubbing her arms, sensing her emotions. She closed her eyes and sighed. “They will be here soon and I don’t know if they’ll be willing…” “Willing for what? Care to share your plan?” He asked quietly. Scarlett opened her eyes realising he hadn't once asked her what she wanted to do or pressurised her into combining packs. In her emotional state last night, she had forgotten to even discuss it with him. “Sorry, things have been crazy. I forgot to even ask you.” She said leaning into his chest. “I want to ask the pack to combine with yours… If that’s ok of course. Zidane had businesses that are mine and Indigos now. I
Her Forbidden Alpha 71. Repercussion
Night had fallen but the Alpha mansion of The Desert Storm Pack was ablaze with lights. They had moved everyone out of the appalling packhouse, most of who were omegas. Placing the severely injured into the pack hospital and those who had any health care knowledge were taking care of them. A few doctors from Rafael’s pack and another neighbouring pack had come to assist. The neighbouring pack was indeed happy to hear Zidane was gone, they only came to assist after hearing what had happened and to see who the new Alpha was. They had gathered their dead and Rafael had bid them farewell, taking his men and the bodies of his lost pack members with him, knowing their mates and families were waiting for them. Scarlett had apologised once more for the loss he had suffered, knowing she would never be able to face their mates who had to go through so much. She now wrapped her arms around herself, even in the soft fleecy top she wore it was chilly. She walked over to the table
