“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
Elijah turned and saw Candice standing there barely able to support herself, the injuries on her body were shocking. It seemed those in the morbid packhouse hall were the lightest injured. “You need to see a doctor…” Elijah said, seeing the blood the woman was losing. “He killed them all.” She whispered. “You don’t have time, the cavern is 20 miles from here, not far from the River Kent. I can mark it for you on a map.” The man holding her made her sit on the ground as he shouted at someone to bring a map. Elijah opened a map on the phone in his hand and crouched down holding it out to her. Her shaking hands reached for it. Elijah zoomed in around River Kent and Candice began to move the map as she looked for the location. “He’s your son.” Elijah said. The woman didn’t even falter at the statement, simply sighing. “Yes, a shame isn't it. I gave birth to a monster, nothing to be proud of.” Her voice was clipped despite how weak she look
Elijah ran through the forest, the passing trees were a blur. Rafael, Liam and Alejandro were alongside him with many wolves following behind. With each passing second his worry for her grew, he couldn't feel anything through the bond but he also knew she was alive. It was the only thing that was keeping him sane. Still knowing her father was a psychotic maniac didn’t help. They saw some wolves ahead and knew they were on the right track, it also meant Zidane knew they were here. Nothing was said as the plan was already put in place. The wolves at the front burst through their ranks, before Zidane’s wolves could follow the rest lunged at them. Elijah growled, feeling a loss of his own pack. It only pushed him further, slowing down when he saw the three women he hated so much. The wolf-less women, it seemed even the third had survived… Alejandra stepped forward, spinning his weapons in his hand. “I’ll handle them.” He said, his quiet rugged voice cold as ever. Rafael
Scarlett sat there, her body suddenly feeling numb. Elijah had seen her kiss him, heard his dying words, but despite the searing jealousy that had come from his wolf the pain he felt for his dying friend outweighed it. He had seen Liam die as it had felt like a part of him had died with him. Rage and hatred towards the Alpha he fought and his dogs overcame him as he lashed out at the wolves who had joined Zidane. Scarlett stood up, watching Rafael slam Cade to the ground. He was nearly dead. She watched as he shifted to human form. Rafael made to tear his head from his body but Scarlett stepped forward. “Allow me…” She said, not caring she was only in her bra or that she was drenched in blood, her own and Liam’s. Even then she was healed but the few bodies that lay around her were a stark reminder of men who would never return to their families. Men she knew and some who were the enemy… Cade looked up at her, fear in his eyes as he looked at the burning anger
