“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. Looking up at him with inn
“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
Shopping was draining, Angela was trying on countless dresses even when she wasn’t even keen on them. Monica and Scarlett even left her for a bit, Scarlett had seen Monica’s eyes on the baby section and had taken the chance to escape Angela’s painful criticism of every dress she donned. “Shall we go take a look?” She asked Monica quietly. “Umm no! No I was just uh…” She tucked a braid behind her ear and looked at Scarlett who gave a small smile. “Come on let’s go take a look.” She said leading the way. Monica followed with a smile on her face as they both began browsing the new-born section, Scarlett smiled seeing her look at the clothes, she herself looking at the racks of clothes in front of her. She had to admit, they were kind of cute. She wondered what kind of parents she and Elijah would make, just the thought of it made her smile. Would the baby have highlighted brown hair like Elijah or strawberry blonde like hers or a mix? “Thinking about som
