Her Forbidden Alpha By Moonlight Muse Chapter 51
Chapter51 This Love Between Us
Elijah’s mark was only now beginning to heal, and he whistled as Scarlett’s arm was left with just blood,
the wound gone.
“Wow…” He said. He knew she healed fast but that… No wonder she had said to him the first time he
had licked her wound that she’d heal, that wound had been deep, but he hadn’t thought much of it.
Jessica gasped in horror grabbing Scarlett’s shoulders as she stared into her eyes, a sickening through
crossed her mind.
“How long have you healed so fast?” She whispered. Scarlett looked into her mothers’ eyes, that was
one truth she wasn’t ready to share yet… “When I-”
“Since she was a child.” Elijah said, his eyes looking into Jessica’s who staggered back breaking into
sobs. Scarlett red at Elijah who simply shook his head. “She needs to know… You can’t keep
fighting the world alone.” He added quietly, his words struck a chord within her and she frowned.
“I am alone now. I ‘was’ alone and I always have been.” She said icily. Her words hurt both herself and
Elijah, she saw the raw pain in his blue orbs, her words only further upset Jessica as well.
Amelia led the woman to the far corner of the room, the pieces of the puzzles falling into ce. Scarlett
now looked at everyone who seemed too shocked to say anything, a murmur of whispers crossed the
room.
“You won’t find a wound on me because I heal fast. Yes Hank threw me around like a doll but no bruise
is going to remain on my body long enough to be shown as proof. If that medical file and those fives
ounts weren’t enough proof, then this should be enough…” She said quietly. The room was silent,
she looked around seeing the sadness, disappointment and guilt on the faces of the men and the look
of pride on Elijah’s face. Something about the look in his eyes made her stomach flutter like crazy.
“So, we will concede… Hank Williamson was killed in self-defence due to his attempted crime. He will
not be given a proper burial, you can do what you wish with his filthy body.” Elijah said ring at Hanks
father. Jackson gave a curt nod.
“At least let us bury him properly.” Fiona now spoke, her hazel eyes full of sadness. She looked at
Scarletting over. “Please Scarlett?”
Scarlett frowned coldly at her before looking away. Fiona turned her doe eyes to Elijah and Scarlett
shook her head about to walk off. The meeting was done, she wasn’t needed here but before she could
even take two steps Elijah grabbed her wrist.
“You promised to talk.” He said quietly. Fiona was about to touch him when he growled at her. “Back off
Fiona! He will not be allowed a proper burial, my word is final. Learn your fucking ce or I won’t mind
throwing you out of the pack!” Saying no more he led Scarlett from the room, leaving a devastated
Fiona behind.
“Elijah!” Scarlett said wanting him to stop, he simply turned and lifted her bridal style making her heart
race, heading upstairs. “Where are you going?!”
“To my office sweetheart.” He said, his eyes glinting. She frowned at him.
“Don’t manhandle me…”
His smirk vanished and he lowered her to the ground not wanting to trigger any bad memory. She hid
her smile; he really was sweet… but sweet wasn’t enough. He had blown Fiona off downstairs but the
moment Scarlett wasn’t around, she would be right there stuck to his side annoyingly… He entered the
room, his hold on her gentle. Closing the door he locked it and turned to her, she turned away from him
walking to the window.
“What did you want to talk about?” She said simply.
“A few things… Can you please at least look at me?” He asked walking over to her. Her heart skipped a
beat, realising he was stood right behind her. The heat from his body against her, she sighed and
turned, crossing her arms over her chest. He led her to the desk and sat down, lifting her onto the desk
in front of him. Looking up at her, his hands on her thighs.

“Make it quick.” She said, looking into those eyes she loved.
“I should have been there by your side and there’s no excuse for it. I failed you…” He said, seeing the
flicker of pain in her eyes. He took her hands, not caring about the blood that coated one of them. He
kissed them both softly. “I know you think you’re alone and when you needed someone, there wasn’t
anyone there. Whether it was with your father…. Hank… you’re the one who’s suffered so fucking
much, whilst all I did… Was make empty promises… Promises I truly meant, but couldn’t keep…”
He looked down and Scarlett felt her heartache. She could see the slight tremble in the Alpha’s hands,
wanting to pull him to her chest and run her fingers through his glossy brown locks. To tell him it’s ok.
Why did he always break her resolve? She didn’t move towards him, despite the crushing pain in her
heart wanting to tell him it wasn’t his fault.
“You didn’t mean to let me down… I just…” She sighed looking away towards the window. “I thought
he’d seed… I really thought you’de… and then I realised I only had myself… That it’s only girls
like Fiona who get the knights…” She trailed off, her eyes stinging. She swallowed trying to fight her
tears back, her hair shielded her face as she didn’t want to look at him. Her words cut through him, guilt
and regret searing his very soul. He stood up pulling her into his chest.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry Red, so fucking sorry… I should have been there for you, with you. Please give
me onest chance to prove myself…” He whispered, his voice thick with emotion. He moved back
slightly cupping her face, his own emotions only causing havoc within him, seeing the tears in her eyes.
“I love you and only you… I wish I neverforted her… I only did my duty as the Alpha. You’re the
only one for me kitten… Please…” His coarse thumbs caressed her cheeks. cing a chaste kiss to
her forehead. “The goddess made you strong because you’re one hell of a fighter…”
No longer able to hold her tears back she closed her eyes letting them stream down her face. “I’m
always the one left to fend for myself.” She whispered. “I can’t do this, I can’t rely on someone who may
not even be there when I need them.”
She knew he had saved her from her father and he had taken a bullet for her… His heart ached
hearing those words, he had broken her trust so badly that she was too scared to believe in him. He
went down on his knees, his head level to her chest as he looked up at her pulling her forehead down
to his.
“Then what if I need you… to continue living in this fucking world. Without you there’s nothing to live for,
I need you kitten, more than anything…” He said, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. Her
determination broke at his words, a sob leaving her body. Why were they so lost, so close, yet so far?
He buried his head against her stomach. She parted her legs, letting him pull her close, closing her
eyes another sob left her lips as she wrapped her arms around his head, crying into his hair.
This love… It scared her so much, yet at the same time she had never felt so many emotions as she
did when she was with him. Never had she been so happy, content andplete. How could she let
her walls down when he had already ripped them down and made his way in no matter how hard she
tried to keep him out?
The lovers remained there, simply holding each other in their embrace. The sun shone through the
window, warming their skin. Two souls so different, like the sun and moon. Yet they fitted together like
two halves of a whole. Their bond was so strong neither felt the need for a mate bond.
His hands never left her, massaging and stroking her backfortingly. She may not have seen it but
he had been there for her so much more than she realised, doing all those small things he would never
have done for anyone. From a man that did not believe in love, she had destroyed all his thoughts and
made him a believer. He had made her face her inner demons. She needed him as much as he needed
her and only then would she feel trulyplete.
Only when Scarlett had stopped crying did Elijah stop stroking her back and moved back, looking into
her beautiful soft green eyes, brushing away her tears.
“What else did you want to talk about?” She asked softly, he didn’t know where they stood but he would
trust in their love and just go with it. He knew she cared even if she hadn’t said she loved him…
“About initiating you back into the pack, it’s been too long Scarlett. If you had your mind link… things
could have been different.” He whispered. She looked away knowing there was truth in that, but her
eyes burned with determination.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t be joining this pack again…”
