Her Forbidden Alpha By Moonlight Muse Chapter 46
Chapter46 The Distance Between Us
“Elijah… I know you’re concerned for her but you can’t help her right now. You’re unmated.” Jackson
said his anger dissipating, cing his hands on his sons’ shoulders, wondering when he had grown so
much. Recently despite their differences he had grown as a man.
Blue eyes met blue but Elijah didn’t have the will to fight anymore.
“I love her dad, she needs me.” He said quietly. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise, as Amelia hid a
small smile, for once proud of the young Alpha. Jackson was thest to understand, sighing he looked
at him sympathetically.
“And I am happy to hear that son… but you can’t go, your wolf…” He trailed off, realisation hitting.
Elijah didn’t mean brotherly love… He meant…
“Let him go, Jackson. Scarlett does need him.” Amelia said firmly. Jackson turned to her shocked that
she wasn’t even moved by this. Elijah ran up the stairs, he didn’t care about the consequences, not
right now…

Scarlett writhed in the bath, her nails dug into her arms as she rocked herself, throbbing pain shooting
through her body. Tears stung her eyes, she didn’t know what hurt more, the pain from the heat or the
pain in her heart. Maybe death would take it all away? The thought slithered into her mind like a
poisonous whisper, what did she have to live for?
No one needed her and she needed no one… but the thought only stayed for a moment as she
frowned. Even if she didn’t need anyone, there was an entire pack who needed their Alpha and she
had Zidane to deal with. She would deal with him just the way she dealt with Hank.
She heard footsteps and then her bedroom door shut. Her heart hammered when a smell that she had
started to recognise as home enter the bathroom. She didn’t turn to him, her entire body tense. Her
wolf wanted to go to him, for him to take this pain away.
Elijah felt as if his heart stopped seeing the pink water, the smell of her blood tainting her tempting
scent in the air. He rushed to her side but saw her nails were simply digging into her arms, she moved
back shaking her head.
“Stay away…” She said, looking away from him. He dropped to his knees by the tub, his heart felt as if
was being crushed repeatedly.
“I know you hate me right now… but I promise I won’t do anything… If I hold you… you will feel
better…” He said softly, his hand reaching to caress her cheek.
“No!” She snapped, smacking it away. “Your wolf is already trying to take control, just leave me alone
Elijah.”
“It won’t. I promised myself no matter what, I can’t do that.” Elijah said firmly, he stood up and walked to
his own bedroom. Scarlett closed her eyes, trying to fight the tears. Yes, she wanted to be left alone but
it still hurt seeing his back retreat. She heard him moving around in his room, another spasm of pain
shooting through her, her core throbbing making her let out a groan of pain.
Elijah was back by her side in an instant, stroking her hair and she hated the fact his touch soothed her,
sending pleasurable sparks through her. It didn’t repulse her like Hanks’s touch. Just the thought of
what he had been about to do made her sick. She pulled away from Elijah’s touch, noticing he was only
wearing some boxers. Her gaze ran over him involuntarily, taking in every ridge and ripple of his god-
like body, her core throbbed wanting him. The image of him hugging Fiona entered her mind and she
looked away, hurt consuming her.
Elijah stood up and got into therge tub. “What are you doing?” She said looking vulnerable.
“Holding you… Only sex will take away the painpletely, but my touch can at least take the edge of
the pain away.” He said softly, firmly taking her elbows and pulling her across the tub and into his arms.
She wanted to fight but the moment his arms wrapped around her she felt a soothing tingle go through
her, everywhere his skin touched hers. “Lose the shirt.” He said softly, feeling himself throb although he
was trying his best not to focus on her breasts that looked so tempting beneath the shirt that was see-
through, her pink pierced nipples making him lick his lips.

“No.” She said. This was all too much; the pain, the love, the confusion.
“It will help.” He said reaching for her shirt, which was partially torn, probably from her encounter with
Hank. Just the thought made anger bubble to the surface. She didn’t say anything, allowing him to
gently unbutton it. Taking it off he tossed it to the floor before wrapping his arms around her tightly,
stroking her back. He kissed her neck once, sending cooling tingles through her and she tilted her head
giving him better ess to that area.
She sighed softly as he kissed her there repeatedly, soothing, and rxing. It felt beyond good,
although her body wanted more, she wasn’t going to give in to it.
Neither spoke, he knew now wasn’t the time. No matter how much he wanted to say it, he couldn’t
bring himself to put it into words. He held her, his hands caressing her skin, cing soft kisses on the
top of her head but he kept himself in check.
His wolf was going nuts, it wasn’t the first woman in heat he hade across and surprisingly the first
hadn’t bothered him much. However, the strong urge to im her was driving him crazy and not only
did he mean to fuck her, but also the strong urge to mark her, to cover the horrible ck stain on her
neck. He knew his wolf was trying to surface but there was no way he was going to allow anyone, and
that included himself, to hurt her. He forced himself away from her neck, d she wasn’t looking up or
his canines would freak her out.
He could feel her wriggle against his manhood, knowing a part of her wanted him and although he
knew if he tempted her, she would give in, he didn’t want that. She had been through a lot. That part
still niggled him, wanting to know what Hank had done, how far had he gone. The thought hurt and he
hoped she was ok. She had been through enough in life.
She tensed under the pain and Elijah caressed her inner thighs, a soft moan escaped her and she
red at him. Gone was the nk look but in its ce the emotions he saw struck him sharply.
“Don’t!” She snapped.
“I won’t take advantage of you.” He said softly, seeing the hate and anger in her eyes before she
looked away.
“I’m sorry Red…” He whispered after a moment. “I know it won’t turn back time or change the way
things happened… So I won’t say it again, instead I’ll show you… That I will be the man you need…”
He truly meant it, the distance between them, he would remove it just like he had removed her shirt.
She was his whole fucking world, without her he was nothing.
Scarlett didn’t look up at him, his words ringing in her ears, tears trickled down her cheeks; frustrated,
angry and hurt. It was toote for that… Much toote. If he couldn’t choose between her and Fiona,
then she would choose for him. She had a n in mind, and she would carry it through…
