She wanted him and he wanted her. Nothing else mattered, for now. The worry and concern were gone, they were not stepbrother and sister but two souls who shared a connection that they could not put into words. That was enough. Scarlett moaned softly against his lips, locking her legs around his waist as they shared burning kisses. Her hands roaming his body hungrily as his hand ran down her hips and squeezed her ass, the other cupping her neck. Their bodies were coursing with sparks of pleasure, the need and desire for the other consuming them. Scarlett tugged at his shirt wanting to feel his skin against her, breaking the kiss to pull his shirt off. Elijah reached for her bobble, tugging it out and letting her hair free. Looking into her eyes, she was beautiful, perfect, and she was his. Making a silent promise that come whatever, he was never giving her up. Fuck fate, he would carve his own fucking future. They kissed each other hungrily before he broke awa

She stepped back smiling as she cupped Scarlett’s face. “You look nothing like him… just the eye colour… I would never have made the link.”  “Umm thanks?” Scarlett said stepping away from her. Candice’s smile now faded. “You shouldn’t be here… it isn't safe.” She said, now frowning as she looked around. “I know… but I can’t turn a blind eye on everything that’s happening here.”  “What made you return here…?” Candice asked now pacing restlessly. “Zidane sent men after me… and they found me, so I came before he decided to attack.” Scarlett said. Candice looked at her worried. “I have no idea why he wants you now but you best leave.” She whispered. Elijah stepped forward gripping Scarlett’s hips he pulled her against him, her ass pressing against him. “We will… but I want to know, if… we were to plan something how many of this pack would side with me?” Scarlett asked softly. Candice’s eyes widened in shock, frowning as s

Zidane glared down at the body of the Latina woman, she was barely alive, he wanted to tear her to bits but she was rather useful and she had injected Scarlett with wolfsbane. He smiled coldly, placing his foot on her head. A small whimper left her lips and he pressed harder. “Because of what you managed to do… I will let you live a little while longer.” He said. Using her as a stepping stool he stepped over her, sending an eruption of pain through her under his weight. The wolves who had meant to chase Scarlett and that wretched Alpha were cowering as they knelt before him in a line. Despite the blood splattered across his suit and the deep scratches that Scarlett had left him with - Zidane looked calm and composed, but all the men there knew that a calm Zidane was dangerous.  “None of you were able to stop two kids… two fucking kids…” He hissed, his voice poisonous as he approached the wolves. Cade too knelt there despite his injuries. “Alpha t

“You suffered just as much as them, didn’t you?” He asked softly. Scarlett looked at him, her eyes stinging. How could she tell him she suffered a lot more…? Where her mother would end up bedridden for days after a brutal beating, Scarlett was often subjected to weeks of punishment, remembering how she would lose consciousness but then forced awake and tortured again.  She pushed the thought away. She had blocked it out, most of it lay locked up at the back of her mind only to return to haunt her at night. Her mother would think she has gone to some training camp and Scarlett would never deny it, sticking to what Zidane threatened her to say. Knowing he would hurt Indigo if she told her mother. Jessica would always check her for bruises but she would be perfectly blemish-free and it eased Jessica’s mind. Over time she began believing that Zidane did not hate Scarlett as much as he did her and Indigo. It was often the reason her mother would shout at her, thinkin

“As much as you want to kill me right now… You should take a look at her.” Rafael said making Elijah turn his gaze on Scarlett, thinking Rafael was simply trying to distract him until he saw her face. His stomach twisted when he saw how pale she was. “Fuck Red, you ok?” He murmured cupping her face, she blinked as if in a daze her head was pounding at the thought. “No… How… I don’t get it.” She whispered, him marking her couldn't cut her tie to the pack so easily, yes it would form a link to him but… “He’s an Alpha. When an Alpha marks his- someone, their pack ties are broken by default… Don’t worry, we’ll get back home and dad can re-initiate you.” He said changing his sentence mid-way and running his fingers through her silky locks. “I’ll uh go get some hot drinks…” Rafael said leaving the room swiftly. Scarlett closed her eyes, resting her head in her hands, “I messed up, so bad.” She whispered. “What will mama think when she finds out…”
