Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter 37

　Brownies & Kisses

Despite both their faces being emotionless, Amelia observed them with interest, wondering if Scarlett’s wolf had anything to do with Elijah treating her better. Not realising she was very far from the truth.

“It seems they are putting their differences behind them.” Jackson said.

“Which we are so happy to see.” Jessica added with a nod. Elijah’s eyes flashed, that cold anger returning once again shooting the couple a glare.

“Not that it’s any of your business.” He said icily, eating some of his quesadilla. Scarlett looked at him, them marking each other had really hit him, making her wonder if it would be even harder for them to be together. Just the thought made her heart hammer loudly, she looked down at her plate suddenly losing her appetite. They made small talk as they ate and Scarlett contributed here and there, the weight of her mark and their parents bond made her feel rather down.

After they were done Scarlett left the room to get the dessert, taking a few dishes with her.

“I’ll help.” Elijah said standing up after a moment, much to Amelia and their parents’ surprise. Whilst Indigo only wrinkled her nose and looked disgusted.

He entered the kitchen to see her cutting freshly baked brownies, leaning on the counter. Her ass stuck out nicely, making him want to do a lot to her right now… He closed the door quietly making her turn.

“What are you doing here?” She asked turning back to the brownies. He placed the dishes down and walked over to her until he was standing behind her, his hand on her ass.

“I came to tell my girl that the food was amazing.” He said softly, making her smile before biting her lip as his hand went dangerously lower.

“Elijah…” She said breathlessly, her core clenching.

“Yes kitten?” He whispered bending down and kissing the side of her neck, making her shiver.

“Someone might come in, stop.” She said, although she made no attempt to move away. Smirking he stepped closer, tapping her ass lightly.

“If we weren’t werewolves… I would have taken you right here, but the smell of your arousal will be a dead giveaway.” He said, thinking he needed to come up with a way to let everyone know about them. So much was going on from Zidane and the mark that right now just didn’t feel like the right time. He didn’t care what anyone would say, but he knew Scarlett was already going through a lot.

He removed his hand from under her dress and instead wrapped his arms around her waist, her eyes widened as she looked up at him, he gave her a small smirk.

“I can be a gentleman.” He said, giving her an innocent look that made him look dangerously sexy.

“I guess you can, so does my handsome gentleman want to taste my brownies?” She asked, taking a small gooey piece, and turning in his arms.

“If my doll feeds me it.” He said opening his mouth, she smirked.

“You can be really cute.” She said, placing it in his mouth. He took it, tugging it free from her fingers, bending down he bought it towards her lips making her blush. She leaned up and bit into the other half of it, her lips grazing his. Her heart thudding, her eyes fluttering shut, her entire body was tingling. His closeness, his scent, his touch drove her crazy. The taste of chocolate mixed with each other’s sweet tastes only made it more addictive.

He kissed her softly as he swallowed the part of the brownie he had taken. Licking his lips as he looked at her eating it before he bent down and licked her lips slowly, then slipped his tongue into her mouth. A

moan escaped her and the next thing she knew he had her lifted onto the worktop, kissing her passionately. His hands on her thighs as he leaned over her.

The sound of the door handle turning had Scarlett jumping off the worktop and Elijah backed away, their hearts still racing. He wiped his mouth as Jessica popped her head in.

“Scarlett is everything ok?” She asked. Scarlett didn’t turn towards her, although her lipstick was a matt red, she still didn’t trust the fact that her face would be completely clean.

“Yes, I just need to cut the blondies.” She said, reaching for the second tray.

“Ok.” Jessica said, glancing at Elijah who just stood there not even looking towards her. “Elijah? Are you ok?”

“Yeah.” he said shortly, she nodded and left the room. The moment she left Scarlett turned around.

“We need to stop doing this… We were almost caught by Indy first and now mama?” She said in a hushed whisper, hurrying over to the oven and crouching down trying to see if her face looked ok. Elijah walked over to her and taking her by her shoulders made her stand straight, he brushed his thumb along her lips.

“I know… and I know you need time, we’ll take it slow. I’ll try to be careful… It ain’t easy when you look so good.”

“Hm, thank you. However, you didn’t need to go bat-shit crazy on Liam.” She said, rubbing a hint of red from the corner of his plump lips.

“Oh yeah? Then he needs to stop flirting with his Luna.” Elijah growled. Her eyes widened in shock, his words ringing in her ears.

“Luna?” She said, Elijah raised his eyebrow. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I said I’m not giving you up, no matter what… That means you will be my Luna… and I can’t wait until I can tell the fucking world you’re mine.” He said quietly. Scarlett looked into his cerulean blue eyes.

Was he really the fuck boy who use to sleep with several girls in the same week? Right now, it was hard to believe. She smiled locking her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

She wondered who his mate was, what she looked like. Sure she wished by some luck it was her but her luck wasn’t that good, fate gave her shit after shit. There was no way she would get him as her mate.

‘I’m sorry that I’m taking your mate from you.’ She said in her head to a woman she never wanted to meet. ‘But I don’t regret it, and I won’t ever let him go.’

Elijah held her to him, inhaling her floral scent. Kissing the side of her head he realised how she fitted against him perfectly.

‘Please be made for me.’ He thought in his head. He kissed her shoulder before both forced themselves back.

The words to express her emotions were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn’t say them. It still scared her, nothing good ever lasted long in her life and she was terrified of losing him but she promised herself that soon she would tell him.

“Well, I better get these to the dining room.” She said picking up the baked goodies and leaving the room. Elijah was about to turn when he sensed as if someone was outside, he turned sharply to the window, scanning the garden outside.

He saw a flicker of movement in the far bushes and rushed to the patio doors that led to the vast garden. Stepping out into the night sky he sniffed the air, the smell was faint, hidden under several other scents. It was very familiar, one he placed instantly, however it shouldn’t have been here on the Alphas private grounds… even the omegas only came when Jessica called them for a full clean of the house. No one should have been out here tonight and the fact they had tried to disguise their scent…

His lips curled into a cold smirk, he had probably seen him and Scarlett. Elijah walked back inside, he wouldn’t do anything and would let them play out their move first. He would wait and watch, one wrong move and he’d fucking kill them…
