Her Forbidden Alpha By Moonlight Muse Chapter 73


    Chapter73　A Traitor


    They had arrived homete at night and although they didn’t get much rest after discussing things with


    Jackson, they had squeezed a few hours in. Elijah had called a mass pack meeting for the following


    morning. There were some people exempt from it, mostly those in mourning. Although Jackson wanted


    to know the reason, he refused to say anything.


    They now were sat around the kitchen table; the sun was barely up in the sky. Being back made


    everyone think of Liam, right about now he would be training the first group of warriors. Scarlett wanted


    to visit his parents as well, which she would do whilst Elijah had his meeting. The pain of his loss was


    hitting her harder than she had thought it would.


    “I’m going to go shower, I’ll be right back.” Scarlett said standing up, she bent down cupping Elijah’s


    jaw as she kissed him before leaving their parents and Elijah alone.


    “Dad as you know, we need someone to overlook things with The Desert Storm Pack and we can all


    agree Scarlett suffered the most there. So, I think you and Jessica should do it. It’ll only take a few


    months. I’ll handle things down here while you’re gone. I think you can at least do that much for all the


    shit you gave us.” Elijah said looking at his father, a frown on his face.


    Jackson frowned deeply knowing he had a point about Scarlett but did not appreciate the rest of his


    comment. He sighed heavily gritting his teeth, knowing Elijah was right though.


    “Fine I get it, I messed up. You two are mates. I’m not against you two being together now so at least


    drop the snarkyments Elijah.” He said frowning at his son, wondering how did their rtionship


    turn so hostile?


    “You mean we aren’t against the two of you, you’re not doing us a favour here. We are mates.” Elijah


    said coldly. Jackson massaged his temples.


    “Ok, I’m sorry alright?” He said in defeat, looking at his son. Elijah frowned but gave a curt nod.


    “I’ll ept it for now, but you should go up north. The pack knowing Jessica as well might help a little.”


    He said curtly. “And since you are the Alpha start initiating them into our pack.”


    “Is Scarlett waiting until everyone is settled then joining again?”


    “Yeah, she gets she can’t just break the link to her pack when they’ve already been through hell and


    until they’re initiated. We can’t risk a mass pack of rogues on our hands.” Elijah said. Jessica nodded.


    “That makes sense but she’ll feel each snap of a pack member leaving The Desert Storm.” She said


    concerned.


    “I’m a strong woman mama. I can handle it.” Scarlett said re-entering the kitchen, her sweet intoxicating


    hitting Elijah strongly mixed with her body wash and shampoo, she smelt beyond divine.


    He pulled her into hisp, taking in how gorgeous she looked in her oversized ck jumper dress. Her


    wet hair was left open and she wore no makeup, still looking as breath-taking as ever. Her stomach


    fluttered when he kissed her passionately, making tingles ripple through her. Desire growing within her


    she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulder to calm her erratic


    heartbeat. Whilst Elijah smirked, his hand slipping under the hem of her dress, stroking her thigh which


    only made it harder for her.


    Jessica looked at them, d that her daughters’ mate was not an abusive man. “Well since that is


    sorted, I will go pack. We will leave right after the funerals.” She said looking at Jackson with finality. He


    nodded and she left the room.


    Just the reminder made Scarlett lift her head. They would be having thebined funeral the following


    day and she was dreading facing every one of the lost pack members families.


    “Care to share what your meeting today is for?” Jackson asked.


    “There’s a traitor amongst us, did Alpha Daniel really not say anything?” Elijah said as Scarlett frowned.


    “No, and I’m sure if there was, don’t you think he would have?” Jackson said, Scarlett nodded in


    agreement.


    “Only if there wasn’t something in it for him. It’s a shame you don’t let me tear him apart for what he


    did.” Elijah growled.


    “You know the rules Elijah, we can’t mess with another’s pack. His allies are already isting him, that


    is enough.” Jackson said standing up. “Let’s get to this meeting and put your mind at rest.”


    Elijah said nothing, he knew he was right. He would get his answers soon enough.


    “I’ll see youter.” Scarlett said before giving him a long passionate kiss, making Jackson shake his


    head and leave the room first. Elijah pulled her close, making her shift in hisp until she was now


    straddling him.


    “If you’re going to kiss me kitten, make it hot.” He murmured, groaning as she rubbed herself against


    his growing bulge.


    “Don’t tempt me Alpha.” She whispered before their lips met once again. Elijah twisted his fingers into


    her hair taking control, his other hand slipping under her dress and cupping her ass, realising she was


    only wearing a thong. He groaned against her lips, her arousal hitting him hard.


    “Fuck, you’re driving me crazy.” He murmured, not missing the breathy moans that were leaving her.


    She forced herself back, feeling the wetness between her legs.


    “You have a meeting to attend remember?” She said tracing his lips with her finger, getting off hisp


    still a little breathless. Elijah ran his hand through his tousled locks and adjusted his pants.


    “Elijah!” Jackson called.


    “Fuck we need our own fucking ce.” Elijah muttered standing up, delivering a sharp p to her ass


    he smirked as she jumped and red at him. He winked at her before he left the room ready to face


    this meeting.


    —–


    A short whileter Elijah looked around at those he had gathered. There were members like Monica,


    Jessica and the younger wolves he hadn’t called. He had his suspects, Fiona and her father being at


    the top of that list. Although he wasn’t expecting it to be Fiona, not thinking she was capable of


    something so cruel but then again didn’t love blind a person?


    He had caught her scent the day they were leaving apanied by the strong feeling of being


    watched.


    The woman now stood quite close to him, watching him with that irritating look in her eyes. He wished


    he had never fucked her to begin with. Just the thought now repulsed him.


    “I’m not here to waste my time when I have so many things to attend to. If it wasn’t for someone in this


    pack sharing intel with the enemy, we may not have lost as many as we did.” Elijah said, his eyes


    flitting between the Williamsons. Not missing Fiona’s eyes widen, the colour draining from her face. He


    almost scoffed – He was correct. “Before I even ask anyone to step forward, what do you think is the


    befitting punishment for such a crime?”


    The members exchanged looks, a few mutterings and shaking their heads.


    “Throw them in the cells to rot!”


    “Better yet, exile them from the pack, dered rogue they can die or fend for themselves.”


    “Kill them, I mean we lost loads.”


    “As Alpha, you need to set an example.”


    “Ash for every person we lost.” Beta Nick said coldly. Liam was like a son to him and the son of his


    close friends.


    “I like that idea.” Elijah said quietly. “And then death.”


    Fiona gasped, her heart thundering. Would Elijah me her? Would he find out? She looked at him her


    heart hammering. His next words made her blood run cold.


    “Fiona step forward.” Elijah said icily, his cold re looking into her hazel eyes. Everyone stared at the


    young woman known to be sweet and caring. Surely he was wrong…


    Letting his Alpha aura roll off him, Elijah stepped closer to the trembling girl. “Did you tell anyone about


    what car Scarlett was travelling in?” Hismand for an answer vibrating through the room. Her father


    tensed; his eyes wide as he stared at his daughter in shock. Fiona dropped to her knees sobbing as


    she made to grab Elijah’s leg, who stepped back smoothly.


    “I love you! I did it for you! I deserve to be by your side! I didn’t mean for anyone else to die! Just


    Scarl-”


    Elijah’s eyes shed his rage ring up. “That’s my mate you’re fucking talking about!” He spat.


    Leaning down he grabbed her, yanking her to her feet and squeezing her neck. Wanting to kill her right


    there but death was too easy for her. He threw her to the ground not caring for the cry that left her lips.


    His eyes darkening as his wolf surfaced. He turned and looked at Nick trying not to snap right there.


    “Throw her in the dungeons. Since she wishes to spend time with me, I will personally see to her


    lashing. She will be put to death if she survives theshes.” He said coldly, clenching his fists as he


    tried to control his rage. The smell of blood filled the room as the pack members saw the red droplets


    trickling down his clenched fists.


    “Please Alpha..” Fiona whimpered but Elijah had had enough. He had been too nice. Not only had she


    cost so many their lives. She had wanted Scarlett hurt or dead. That was something he could never


    ever forget.


    —–


    Scarlett sat nervously in the living room of Liam’s parents’ house. His mother Samantha looked to have


    aged several years and his father was sat quietly. Scarlett’s heart ached to look at the man who looked


    to be an elder version of Liam himself. Was that how Liam would have looked if he got to live to that


    age? Her eyes stung at the very thought.


    “I’m sorry.” She said in a whisper, breaking the tense silence that had settled in the room. Samantha


    shook her head sadly fighting her own tears.


    “How exactly did he die?” She asked trying to remain strong as her husband ced his head in his


    hands, his body heaving with silent sobs. His wife and mate ced a hand on his back as she looked


    at Scarlett.


    The young woman looked at her, tears blurring her vision. “He died because he shielded me.” She said


    before she looked down, letting her hair curtain her face as she cried softly, trying to control herself


    cing her face in her hands.


    “Then don’t cry. There is no other way he would have liked to go. He’s loved you ever since you came


    to this pack. I remember when he came running home and told me a tough little girl had joined the


    pack. He’s always hoped you would be his mate but fate had other ns. Don’t cry Scarlett, you are


    the future Luna. Remember Liam died protecting the woman he loved. He is- was…” Samantha’s voice


    broke, her strong resolve trembling. “Was a boy with a heart of gold. Don’t forget him.”


    Scarlett nodded and Liam’s father looked up. “We don’t hold you ountable for what happened. He


    made his choice and we are proud of him.” He said quietly.

    “Thank you…” Scarlett said, not knowing how she felt. She took her leave soon after, her heart feeling


    a little lighter knowing they didn’t hold her ountable. Liam. She would never forget him.
