Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter8　Feisty Firework

“Elijah!” Scarlett said as he stopped on the dance floor. ‘Lonely’ by Diplo began playing and he gave her a smirk.

“Come on Red, let’s see those moves that had every girl in high school envious.” He said as he began singing along. Her heart skipped a beat as he began moving to the music, her stomach fluttered crazily. Was this a dream she would wake up from? Living in the moment she began dancing, raising her hands she swayed her body to the music. Elijah took her hand, spinning her around, before pulling her close as he danced behind her.

To everyone watching it looked like two young adults having innocent fun. But the emotions that ran through them both were so different, with Elijah’s eyes trying not to linger on her killer curves and Scarlett realising she was just falling a little more for him.

He nudged her with his hip making her stumble, she smiled despite herself and nudged him back. Their eyes met and a soft smile crossed his face. Scarlett’s eyes widened in shock; it was rare to see a genuine smile on that handsome face of his… if he didn’t grab her hips dancing with her, she would have stopped. Her heart thundering as she danced in a daze, the Elijah before her was one she did not recognise, he was so different than two years ago…

Jessica smiled, leaning lovingly on Jackson’s shoulder. “Look at them, they’re finally getting on.” She said happily. Jackson nodded happily watching the sibling’s dance.

“I’m glad, I guess Elijah has matured more than I thought.” He chuckled, caressing his wife’s hair and kissing her forehead gently. Although there was no mate bond between them, he loved her dearly. The feeling that he could not be apart from her long or his wolf feeling restless never occurred as it did with his mate, but the love was strong. They had been two broken souls who had found each other.

“He is going to make an amazing alpha.” Jessica replied, watching Elijah spin Scarlett who smiled.

“Let’s just hope he finds his mate soon, an alpha needs his Luna.” Jackson said seriously. Jessica nodded in agreement before leaving her husband as someone called for her.

Back on the dance floor, the couple were interrupted by someone.

“Move over Alpha, at least spare us the one girl who you can’t have.” Hank, the future delta said with a smirk, bringing the two out of their trance.

“And who said I’m going to want to dance with you?” Scarlett said looking at him. Stepping away from Elijah, Hank raised an eyebrow. He was handsome with his black hair and those hazel eyes, but unlike Fiona who was a sweet girl, Hank was a jerk. After Elijah he was probably the next biggest player in the pack. Although she would never tell Elijah, he had been one of the guys that night… although he acted like it never happened. Scarlett wondered if he had just been completely wasted. But still, she couldn’t forgive him.

Elijah did not miss the hostility from Scarlett as she glared at the taller man, wondering if there was more to it. Hank flashed her a smile.

“Oh come on Scarlett, one dance.” He said.

“I said no.” Scarlett said walking off, leaving the two men on the dance floor. Angela rushed over, a pout on her face.

“That was not fair!” She grumbled, dragging Scarlett towards the bar. Being 18 meant she was legally at a drinking age in the UK but for werewolves who had a very high tolerance, they had been drinking for a few years, although it had been more limited then. Angela was a year older than Scarlett, she took a seat sulking.

“He isn’t an amazing dancer, don’t worry.” Scarlett said, feeling a little bad for her.

“But do you know how many hours I practiced to ask him that?” She said.
