Elijah had just about managed to put on some fresh clothes, trying his best not to break everything around him before he left his room slamming the door behind him, storming through the mansion with one aim in mind. His anger raging around him like a hurricane, festering within him, growing stronger with each passing second. How could his father do this? He walked past Indigo who had just returned from her short visit to Daniel’s, more curious to find out what was happening at home. She was about to say something but feeling his rage, she shrank away. Elijah didn’t even notice the tall girl, his mind set on one thing. Following his father’s scent until it led him to the kitchen, where he was holding Jessica, kissing her neck sensually. “So, the one fucking thing that was left of mom… you decided to get rid of that too!?” Elijah spat slamming his fist into the nearest wall, making the couple jump apart not even noticing him until he spoke. “Eli

Shock filled Indigo as she stared at her stepbrother. His words resonating in her head, everything seemed heightened. Her breathing quickened, the loud thumping rang in her ears as she ran a hand through her short black hair. Her shocked expression slowly turned to one of anger. “You two are step-siblings… and have been so for the last 8 years… This is disgusting and messed up! It’s so wrong!” Indigo shouted glaring at him, this was the first time she had raised her voice at him, the first time to argue with him. “I know we are but our parents shouldn’t have been together, they weren’t fated mates.” Elijah growled. His wolf annoyed at her speaking disrespectfully towards him. Something that had never bothered him when it came to Scarlett being disobedient. “No, they weren’t, but neither are you and Scarlett so how can you two be so selfish!? They beat you to it and are together, this could tear them apart in so many ways. It could hurt them, ruin their reputa

Liam paled, stepping back as Elijah walked over. Taking Scarlett’s arm he pulled her behind him roughly, she winced at the force in his touch. “Get the fuck out of here.” He hissed. Liam looked stunned, raising his hands in surrender. “I’m sorry Alpha… I didn’t mean to offend you I just came to invite you and Scarlett for-” “I don’t need an explanation.” Elijah growled, his Alpha aura rolling off him in waves. Scarlett wrenched free from his death grip massaging her arm as she stepped out from behind him. “Liam, we will come. Text the details to Angela, she will join us too.” She said, making Elijah glare at her. Liam nodded bowing his head in submission to his Alpha. Elijah slammed the door in his friend’s face, never had he been so pissed at one of his friends before this. “Don’t you dare glare at me!” She snapped, her eyes flashing silver. “Were you going to say something or allow him to continue to flirt with you?” Elijah said cold

A few days had passed since their return, things were still tense between Elijah and Jackson. Jessica drowned herself in visiting the pack hospital and the new-born pups in the pack with gifts, as well as the elderly with hampers of nuts, dried fruit and honey. Scarlett knew it was a way for her to cope with the tension in the house and she didn’t blame her. She had talked to Scarlett, asking how she really felt but like always Scarlett said she was fine, still not able to tell her mother the truth. Each night she and Elijah slept in each other’s arms, the moments between them were not only sexual but every little thing made Scarlett fall deeper in love, a love that surpassed her first love by far. It terrified her as well as made her feel incredibly happy. She was scared that he would one day turn around and call it over, after all, they weren’t mates. The ever-nearing Blood Moon was like a heavyweight on her shoulders, several packs would be meeting for the

    Angela glanced at the Alpha who hadn't joined them yet, his eyes dark with lust and the colour showed his wolf had surfaced. She continued dancing with Scarlett but her eyes were now on Elijah, not once did his eyes leave Scarlett, like a snake entranced by a snake charmer. His gaze followed Scarlett’s every dip and curve, every sway from her friend's sexy hips and Angela understood. Her assumption had been correct… but what did that really mean? Was Elijah really into Scarlett? “Come on handsome, join us!” Angela said as they approached him. Scarlett gave him a small smirk. They began dancing and sure enough, Elijah’s eyes never left Scarlett as he danced behind her. His hands skimming her hips, pulling her against him as she began grinding on him, not even noticing the woman who was dancing behind him. They were in the middle of the crowded dance floor, too far from their friends to see them, too lost in each other. “You look f
