The days had flown by and although it felt like ages for the Blood Moon to come closer, at the same time there was a lot to do. With their planning of the attack on Zidane’s pack, they were kept occupied and Scarlett was grateful for it. Jackson was the same and although he didn’t lash out at Scarlett as he did with Elijah, he wasn’t the way he used to be, still not able to understand their relationship nor expect it. Luckily Jessica and Indigo were a lot better and to Scarlett’s surprise, she learned that Indigo knew from the time she had seen them in the bathroom. This had shocked Scarlett greatly, but she appreciated Indigo not making it harder for her, not knowing Elijah had warned her not to.
Rumours were spreading that there was a woman in Elijah’s life, or that he was having a forbidden relationship with a mated she-wolf, none however came close to the truth. Apart from a snarky comment from Keira at one point about their newly found friendship no one else seemed to s

It was later that evening and Scarlett was at the restaurant where she worked part-time, although lately, it felt like she had rarely covered many shifts with everything that was going on. It was on pack grounds and being the only restaurant in the area it was always busy. The owners were an old werewolf couple although they didn’t do as much around here anymore, they were always there making sure no one messed around and keeping order. Today was another busy evening, although it was a weekday and Scarlett was busy waitressing, there was no uniform as it was a casual place. She was dressed in black jeans and a white blouse that she left a few buttons open from the top, paired with some studded heels. She had on a tiny apron that held a notepad and pen, only because her mind link was gone, and she couldn't link with the cooks in the back. “Are those ours, sugar?!” David the owner called, from where he sat near the window, talking to some other elder werewolves. she wa
The following day dawned cold and grey and it mirrored the mood within the Alpha’s mansion perfectly. Breakfast was tense, even the delicious smell of Jessica’s cooking couldn't lighten the mood. Indigo sat there, a pout on her face, looking between Elijah and Jackson. She wished they'd put aside their egos and stop this ridiculous issue between them. “So do you both have everything packed?” Jessica asked looking at Elijah and Scarlett. “Yep, all packed.” Scarlett said playing with the scrambled eggs on her plate. “Yeah, all ready for this ball.” Elijah said in an antagonising tone. “I wonder if anything is going to change. You sure you don’t want to come dad? To see how I reject anyone but Scarlett?” “Watch it, I'm giving you one chance. You might come home with no mate but remember, you won’t be taking your Alpha position.” Jackson said coldly, his eyes flashing dangerously. Elijah simply scoffed. “I don’t mind, my wolf doesn’t seem bothered
“Wake up baby girl!” Angela’s cheery voice came. Scarlett groaned as the curtains covering the hotel window were pulled open to reveal the bright sun that shone outside.“Piss off Angela, you made me stay awake so damn long, now let me sleep!” Scarlett snapped. Angela hadn't let her sleep until 4 am and she had missed Elijah dearly but Angela had caused a right scene that she wanted Scarlett to sleep with her. Elijah had begrudgingly agreed as he did have things to do and didn’t want her to get bored, also knowing being with her hyper friend she would be kept distracted and not spe
Scarlett entered the hall; her heart was thundering so loudly she wondered if everyone could hear it. Angela suddenly froze, gripping Scarlett’s hand tightly. “My mate…” She said. Scarlett’s eyes widened looking at Angela who was scanning the crowds. A tall slender woman with blond hair in an elegant updo and deep blue eyes stepped towards them, dressed in a deep pink coloured gown, her eyes widening as she looked at Angela. “Mate.” She said softly, her eyes flashing when she saw the girls intertwined hands. “Mine.” She growled, making Scarlett pull free and raise her hand in surrender. She was shocked to say the least, Angela had a female mate. She never knew Angela was bi. She looked at her friend who looked shocked too, staring at the woman who now stopped in front of her. “Hi, I’m Cassandra.” She said, holding her hand out. Angela just stood there stunned, the woman before her was beautiful but she was not expecting a woman... “Uhh… Angela
Elijah’s heart skipped a beat, those words resonating in his head. She loved him. He cupped her face, leaning down he kissed her so tenderly it made her breath catch in her throat. Never had his lips moved so gently against hers, no lust or desire was fuelling it, it was an innocent yet loving kiss full of passion and emotion. She kissed him back until an annoying nasally voice interrupted them. “Oh my god, yuck! What are you two doing?!” Scarlett moved back as she looked at Kiera standing there with a very bulky werewolf who towered over her, his eyes full of admiration as he watched her. “We’re mates.” Elijah said cockily. “Although even if she wasn’t I’d still make her mine.” It took Kiera a moment to realise what he said, gasping she stared at them. “You two were… fucking?” “That’s none of your business Kiera, so why don’t you and your lovely mate move along?” Scarlett said, the man now blinked and gave a sheepish smile. “Sorry I'm
“Please Papa! Please don’t!” A child’s voice shrieked in horror. Elijah frowned, what was this? He looked around; he was in some sort of room, a garage. There were tools and weapons around the side and a table with dry bloodstains in the middle. His attention fell to the man he recognised, who was smashing a child’s head into the floor repeatedly. Anger blazed through him as he ran over making to grab the man only for his hand to go right through him. He tried again but it was futile, was this a dream? Looking at the child who was covered in so much blood, her tiny hands clawing at the monster’s wrist. Elijah backed away his heart thudding, realisation hitting him hard. This was not a nightmare, it was a memory. Scarlett’s memory. He watched helplessly as Zidane dragged her by the hair across the room, picking up a large jug of liquid and stepping back flung it over the little girl. Her screams pierced Elijah’s heart, the colour draining from his face as he ran to her side,
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.”
“We need to get out!” Liam shouted as he punched through the roof. Shifting and ripping the side of the car off. No one needed a second warning, Elijah scooped Scarlett up, lifting her out of the car before placing her down and turning to face the 12 large masked werewolves that were now facing them. Before any of Scarlett’s group could even attack they threw something on the ground and Scarlett stumbled back as the strong smell of wolfsbane gas filled her senses. ‘Fall back!’ Elijah shouted through the link. ‘Scarlett!’ ‘I’m ok, I’m-’ She was cut off when she felt something stab into her side and her vision went black. ‘Scarlett!’ Elijah called, trying to sniff her out with the strong wolfsbane that was tearing at their insides. He ran forward sensing Scarlett’s scent moving away, shifting as he leapt from the smoke and tore out the heart of one of the wolves. Scanning the area he saw Scarlett being thrown in a car before it zoo
