Her Forbidden Alpha By Moonlight Muse Chapter 1


    Chapter1　Homing


    “Scarlett! Please hurry up I don’t want your brother having to wait so long!” Jessica shouted up the


    stairs to her daughter.


    “Kk Mama! I know, rx!” She called back.


    Scarlett rolled her eyes applying her trademark red lipstick. If you got it why not unt it? She thought


    to herself as she stared in the mirror at her reflection. Staring back at her was a beautiful young woman


    with strawberry choppy shoulder-length hair which was dyed in an ombre style, the bottom half a vivid


    red. Plumping up her hair she stood up and grabbed her car keys. She loved being eighteen – having


    received her car from her mother and stepfather on her birthday a few months ago.


    Despite turning 18, the age that most young werewolves found their mates, Scarlett had not. She didn’t


    worry too much about it, after all, their pack wasn’t too big and her mate could be anywhere in the


    world. For now, she’d simply focus on herself. She had felt her wolf awaken, felt her presence in her


    mind and had shifted to a magnificent grey wolf. It had been bigger than most wolves in their town,


    something that had caused rumours to spread around the town, no one knew her mother’s mate had


    been an alpha. But her wolf had been a dead giveaway to that.


    She rushed out of her room almost bumping into her fourteen-year-old sister Indigo.


    “Careful witch,” Indigo snapped, earning herself a re from Scarlett.


    “I’m gettingte Indy, I have to collect Elijah from the airport,” she said running down the steps, taking


    two at a time and skipping thest four. Her feet hitting the dark wooden floorboards with a thud.


    “Scarlett… calm down,” Jessica said stepping out of the mansion kitchen. She had an apron on and her


    ck hair pulled into a messy bun. From the sshes of flour Scarlett noted she must have been


    working on another cake order. Despite being a werewolf, Jessica was a well-known and in-demand


    baker in Stratford-Upon-Avon. It was something that kept her busy and her mind off things.


    Despite being the Luna to the Blood Moon Pack, Jessica was not fully acknowledged by the pack


    members. It had been years since they had joined their pack – after the first Luna was killed in a rogue


    attack which had left the pack devastated. When Jessica had stepped into the broken alphas life the


    pack had mixed emotions, with some d that their alpha would not go insane after the loss of his


    Luna and others uncertain if anyone could rece their alphas mate, finding her entering his life a


    disrespect to their previous Luna.


    “Make up your mind! Do you want me to hurry or not?” Scarlett said, not waiting for a reply as she


    rushed from the house crossing the greenwn and getting into her white Ford Fiesta.


    Scarlett lived near the beautiful town of Stratford-Upon-Avon with woods surrounding their pack area. It


    was a small ce but with plenty of open grounds, perfect for their pack – The Blood Moon. Most of the


    pack members lived in the pack area but some lived in the town amongst the humans and woulde


    to the woods for a run or pack meetings.


    The Alpha, Jackson Westwood, was her stepfather and owned the area. He had his own businesses


    that helped support the pack financially. Despite his pack only having around 500 members, he was still


    a strong and fair alpha.

    The sun was high in the sky and she lowered her window slightly, putting some EDM music on. Tapping


    the steering wheel with her freshly painted nails. It was roughly a 50-minute drive to Birmingham, the


    closest airport to their town, and she was d for the time to mentally prepare to see him again…


    Sighing she lent back in her seat, Elijah Westwood. The son of her stepfather, the future Alpha of The


    Blood Moon Pack. She had not seen him for thest two years, it was two summers ago when he had


    visited from his extensive alpha training around the country, that was when she had realised she was


    crushing on her own stepbrother. The very thought made her internally cringe. A thought she would not


    dare utter aloud.


    She felt nervous now, wondering if those feelings would be gone, she hoped so, not wanting things to


    be awkward between them. Although Elijah was not the nicest towards her, always teasing,


    taunting, or trying to embarrass her. She had been so d when he first left town five years ago,


    thinking good riddance.


    But when he had returned two summers ago, she had seen himpletely differently. Now with his


    trainingplete, and returning home permanently, he would be alpha soon enough whilst


    Jackson would step down. She always knew Elijah was a very handsome young man. He had delicious


    chocte locks with natural streaks lightened by the sun and those piercing blue eyes…


    “Fuck…” She muttered. Do not let yourself go down that train of thought Scarlett… Not now. Not ever.


    —-


    The airport was a rush with people leaving and entering, taxis and cars parked all around. She


    struggled to find a parking space before squeezing herself into a very tight spot, then realising she


    could not open her side door. Groaning in frustration she climbed over to the passenger seat and got


    out. She had failed four tests before passing and bay parking was still not one of her strong points…


    Entering the airport she scanned the Flight Information Disy. The flight hadnded thirty minutes


    ago. She pouted crossing her arms, hoping she wasn’t toote. It did take time to collect your luggage,


    right?


    “Finally… Why am I not surprised?” A drawling voice came from behind her, she spun around knocking


    into someone.


    “Ouch fuck! That hurt!” Scarlett groaned. Massaging her breast she looked up to re at the brick-like


    man she had just knocked into, freezing when she looked into her step-brother’s cocky face. The scent


    of winter spice, vani and white musk enveloped her senses.


    “Need some help massaging that?” He asked, his eyes flitting down to her breasts, she blushed ring


    at him.


    “Oh shut up Elijah,” she replied rolling her eyes.


    “What’s wrong? Can’t big brother take care of his precious little sister?” He mocked. His words ignited a


    forbidden pleasure within her. “I promise to take good care of you… Just say the word Red…” His


    breath tickled her ear, her heart pounded in her chest.


    She shoved him away from her, trying not to notice the way his chest felt under her fingers. He looked


    incredible, sexier than she remembered, had he grown a little more? Towering over six foot, he was


    definitely a lot bulkier than before. His skin was tanned and a light stubble covered his jaw. Dressed in


    ripped jeans, a white T-shirt, a leather jacket and Nike trainers he looked effortlessly good. He was the


    typical alpha male – drop-dead gorgeous.


    “Stop being an ass, it’s clear you haven’t changed.” She said ring at him. He looked down at her,


    she smelt… delicious.


    “You’ve changed a lot though… I was beginning to think the Instagram posts may have all been photo-


    shopped and edited… clearly not…”He said, his eyes trailing over her 5-foot-2 frame and taking in her


    curves. She was on the smaller side for a she-wolf but he liked it. Trying not to linger on the way her


    ck top stretched at the bust, paired with blue skinny jeans and ck heels boots she looked


    effortlessly hot. She did not look like a young girl anymore – now grown into a hot sexy woman. (that


    much was for sure, he was not blind to deny that.) He wasn’t blind and no matter who she was, he


    couldn’t deny it.


    “If you’re done being annoying, shall we go? I don’t have all day.” She said leading the way out. Elijah


    smirked as he followed her, his eyes falling on her ass, she really did fill out nicely. Her Instagram only


    held selfies or food pictures. Summer was sure going to be fun…


    They reached the car soon after and she unlocked it opening the boot for him, he tossed in his suitcase


    and duffel bag, walking around to the passenger seat.


    “Wait let me get in first,” she said. He raised an eyebrow.


    “What? Did you smash in the other door?”


    “No, the parking spot was tight.” She said, sliding in and over to the driver’s seat before he got in. A


    rich white floral scent filled the car, hers.


    “The parking spot was fine, you parked wrong.” He remarked as she started the car.


    “Buckle up,” Scarlett said ignoring his remark.


    “Worried for me?” He teased, smirking when she red at him.


    “No, but it’s my car, so my rules.” She said reversing out of the spot, very aware of his observation. He


    ignored her refusing to put the belt on, fiddling with her ylist. Sitting back when ‘Or Nah’ by Somo


    began ying.


    She kept her eyes on the road trying not to focus on the words of the song. The words a little too much,


    and with Elijah in the car… The image in her head was not a decent one…


    “So howe you were sent to get me?” He asked looking over at the feisty redhead.


    “Last minute meeting with some alpha popped up and you know dad, workes first.” She replied,


    making Elijah frown. It irked him when she called his dad, ‘dad’.


    “Makes sense.” He said not letting his annoyance show.


    “Why didn’t you just run the rest of the way back?” She asked. Her wolf seemed to agree with her.


    Although having a wolf you did not have a second voice in your head, you could feel their emotions and


    sense their opinions. Like a second conscience.


    “Luggage darling,” he said tauntingly, earning a frown from the young woman. “What about Jessica,


    busy baking?”


    “Yep, I thought she didn’t have anything today but somest-minute order came in and like they say,


    what was the point of buying me a car if I can’t be of some use?”


    Elijah smirked “I agree, freeloader.” He said poking the side of her head, making her re at him once


    again.


    “I am not a freeloader, I help at the restaurant on weekends… and I’m working at a salon too…” She


    said, her re fading. Unlike Elijah, the smart intelligent – pride of the family. She had been a


    disappointment, doing a beauty course in college she went on to apply at a local human salon.


    Something her parents had not been happy about, wanting her to get a degree like Elijah, who aside


    from his alpha duties had a business degree under his belt.


    “Cool. I like the hair, it suits you.” He said. Growing up she had gone from purples to blues, and pinks,


    but this was the reddest he had seen it and it looked pretty hot on her.


    “Thanks,” she replied suspiciously. “So are you hungry? Shall we stop at a service station?”


    “Yeah lets, I’m fucking starved, you know the food on the ne is not edible.” He said pushing his seat


    as far back as possible and stretching his long legs a little.


    “It isn’t so bad.” She said amused. She kept her eyes open for a sign that told them a service station


    was approaching.
