Her Forbidden Alpha By Moonlight Muse Chapter 24
Chapter24 Marked
Elijah frowned, the man had clearly lost his sanity as he spewed nonsense, his eyes fixed on Scarlett.
“I would never side with you and your sadistic ways.” Scarlett said.
“Yes, you will! I am the reason you are on this fucking earth!” He hissed, his canines elongating.

“Keep pissing me off and it’ll be your heart I tear out!” Scarlett shot back, her eyes turning a steely
silver. Even her wolf seemed on edge. She could feel her anger towards Zidane, although her presence
only became known in her head when she turned 18 she knew the pain this man had caused Scarlett.
The abuse she had suffered at this man’s hand, most that she had blocked out, to the extent even her
own mother never knew of. But she wouldn’t be afraid of him, not anymore, she wasn’t a little girl
anymore.
Zidane growled in anger, his Alpha aura rolling off him in waves. Elijah was next to follow, staring him
down but all eyes turned to Scarlett, the strong energy that rolled off her was growing stronger and
more noticeable, perhaps not as strong as Zidane’s or Elijah’s but it was impressive.
“So, it’s true…” Zidane said, once again his anger vanished and was reced by a mad glint of
excitement in his eyes. Walking around the table he inched closer to her, Elijah growled warning him to
stay back. Sensing something from behind Elijah spun around as the woman and Cade had moved to
lunge at them with syringes containing wolfsbane.
In a sh Elijah transformed into his huge light brown wolf, mming Cade across the room with his
paw. Cade shifted into his own wolf, leaping back at him although he was visibly smaller than Elijah.
Elijah growled, flinging the woman across the room with one swift swipe. She went flying but was up
instantly, she may not have had her wolf but she was strong.
Scarlett looked at Zidane. “I came here as you wanted and you thought you could try to double-cross
me? Fuck this!” She spat.
She shouldn’t even be surprised she thought, what more could she have expected from him? He had
always been a psychotic monster. She ran at her father just as Elijah shouted at her to be careful
through the mind link.
Scarlett ignored him, shifting mid-air into her stunning silver-grey wolf. Zidane watched in crazed awe
as she lunged at him, he didn’t shift, his eyes trained on the huge wolf that lunged at him. Raising his
hand he grabbed her by the neck, the force of her lunge knocking him back a few steps but he retained
his bnce.
His hand partially shifting, squeezing her neck. Before he could do more Elijah’s wolf knocked into him,
throwing him to the ground, a dangerous growl ripped through the room. Elijah’s enraged eyes ring
into Zidane’s strangely calm yet excited eyes.
They could just end this now Elijah thought, ready to tear his head off. Cade barrelled into him,
knocking him off Zidane just as the door burst open and several other wolves burst into the room,
rushing to their Alpha.
Scarlett leapt past them, her speed impressive. They shifted aiming to protect Zidane. Scarlett growled,
her Alpha power rolling off them making them hesitate, feeling the pressure.
Zidane watched her, even though he wasmanding his men, her link to the pack was making them
hesitate. His manic smile stered on his face never faltered, even when she shed him across his
chest, rage burning within her. He simply watched, weing the pain as if he were looking at a
miracle before him. Two wolves lunged on her back and Elijah who was fighting four, threw them off
coming to assist her.
In themotion no one noticed the woman grabbing the wolfsbane syringe, making her way to
Scarlett in a robotic-like trance. Her aim and her order were to inject Scarlett and she would do as she
wasmanded no matter the cost.
Her eyes never left the silver wolf as she inched closer, more wolves were joining the fight and Zidane
simply stood there watching in manic ecstasy at the bloody mess before him. Three wolves were
already dead, one by Scarlett’s hand the other two by Elijah’s. Things had gotten messy fast.
‘Red!’ Elijah shouted through the link seeing the woman lunge at Scarlett but it was toote, she
stabbed the syringe into her. Just as she did Elijah bit into her waist, shaking her viciously and crushing
her bones within his mouth as he tossed her to the ground like a rag doll. Scarlett’s wolf crumpled to
the ground as she was forced to shift to human form.
“Fuck…” She groaned feeling the wolfsbane burn her insides, it felt like an inferno was building within
her. She tried to push herself to her feet, her vision swaying. She saw Elijah fighting the wolves,
growling, his Alpha power weighing down on them but their own alpha’s orders overruled Elijah’s. They
would fight the Alpha wolf until they or he were dead.
She looked at Zidane who now grabbed her by her arm, dragging her to her feet.
“You are mine.” He said, his voice echoing in the room like a sinister promise of doom. His canines
elongated.
Elijah turned his eyes, widening in horror as he realised what the Alpha was about to do… and there
was no chance that he would reach her in time. Rushing towards them he could only watch as Zidane
viciously ripped into Scarlett’s neck where her mate was meant to mark her, tearing through her creamy
neck violently as he forced his mark upon her.
She screamed in pain as her vision ckened. Elijah’s deafening howl echoed in the room, seeing red
as he ripped through the wolves heartlessly. Lunging at Zidane, only for three more wolves to block
him. He looked at Scarlett’s bloody body thaty crumpled on the floor, her eyes filled with pain but she
was losing consciousness, only her sheer willpower kept her awake.
He knew he needed to get her out of there before things got worse. As Zidane made to pick her up
Elijah mmed him across the room, d when he hit the far wall with a sickening crunch. He grabbed
Scarlett’s wrist in his mouth, tugging her up and nudging her with his head on to her back.
‘I need you to hold on sweetheart,’ He said through the link, his worlds met with a nk, he couldn’t
seem to make the connection. With wolfsbane in her system that was to be expected, nevertheless,
she seemed to get the hint.
“Mmh…” She whispered weakly, she didn’t know what Zidane had done to her but her body was killing,
why did he bite her neck? Was he trying to kill her? Through the haze nothing made sense. She clung
to Elijah’s glossy fur trying to remain awake as he flung wolf after wolf aside, leaping over some,
attacking some, and then he began running.
She heard the terrifying howl of her father’s wolf, looking through bleary eyes at the pitch-ck beast
that was now chasing them. He was huge, not as big as Elijah’s but it was close enough.
“Faster…” She whispered, visions of her as a child and that same ck monster of a wolf chasing her
overcame her, as she drifted off to thend between sleep and consciousness, filled with horrifying
nightmares of the past…

Elijah ran as fast as he could, he could feel them gaining but he wouldn’t be defeated. As an Alpha, it
wasn’t in his nature to run but right now he didn’t really have a choice. Hearing howls ahead he hoped
Rafael the Alpha of the pack who was assisting was near. He burst from the pack grounds, seeing the
5 men standing there with 15 shifted wolves.
“Elijah!” Rafael said, seeing the bloody woman that was on his back. Elijah growled remembering
Scarlett was naked, Rafael raised his hands motioning to some jeeps parked close by. “Let’s go!”
Elijah shifted, lifting Scarlett into one jeep, someone was already in the driver. Rafael jumped in the
front ordering his men to retreat and cover them. Once the car was zooming off, Elijah turned Scarlett
in his arms looking at the bite mark on her neck.
He marked her.
The very statement made him feel numb. The sheer weight of the consequences hitting him. Only a
person’s true mate can remove another wolves mark… Even Jessica still had Zidane’s mark.
It meant he himself, could never remove it for Scarlett… Where he had wanted to mark her and make
her his Luna… Now without her true mate this mark would always stain her neck… It angered him, he
hated the fact that they had ever walked into the Desert Storm Pack so recklessly…
A thought entered his mind and he knew it was from his wolf
‘Maybe… they could be mates…’ He felt an ache in his chest, that would be a fucking dreame
true… He felt her forehead, she was sweating, her skin looking paler by the second. He kissed her
forehead tenderly.
Rafael tossed him a shirt and pants.
“Care to share why the hell you’re on Zidane Malone’s bad side?” He asked, wincing at the thought of
angering the dangerous Alpha.
“I’m sorry for getting you involved…” Elijah said pulling the shirt that smelt of Rafael over Scarlett’s
head. As much as he hated another male’s scent on her, he preferred her covered. Still holding her, he
pulled the pants on himself.
“It’s cool I owe you my life.” Rafael said grinning, pulling his curly ck shoulder-length hair into a
ponytail. “I never knew you found your mate…”
“She… she isn’t…” Elijah said feeling a pang at the very thought. “But I’m going to make her my Luna.”
Rafael looked surprised but said nothing. He looked at the woman in Elijah’s arms, seeing the concern
and worry marring his friends face, something he had never seen from the usually rather arrogant
Alpha.
“What the fuck is that….?” Elijah murmured, his eyes fixated on Scarlett’s neck. Rafael turned, an eerie
silence filled the car as the two Alphas looked at something. The man driving nced at his Alpha,
seeing his face filled with worry…
The wound on Scarlett’s neck was closing up but under her skin ck root-like veins were spreading
from the bite mark, going up her neck and around her shoulder, visibly pulsating as if they were alive…
