Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter27　Never Letting You Go

“You suffered just as much as them, didn’t you?” He asked softly.

Scarlett looked at him, her eyes stinging. How could she tell him she suffered a lot more…? Where her mother would end up bedridden for days after a brutal beating, Scarlett was often subjected to weeks of punishment, remembering how she would lose consciousness but then forced awake and tortured again.

She pushed the thought away. She had blocked it out, most of it lay locked up at the back of her mind only to return to haunt her at night. Her mother would think she has gone to some training camp and Scarlett would never deny it, sticking to what Zidane threatened her to say. Knowing he would hurt Indigo if she told her mother. Jessica would always check her for bruises but she would be perfectly blemish-free and it eased Jessica’s mind. Over time she began believing that Zidane did not hate Scarlett as much as he did her and Indigo. It was often the reason her mother would shout at her, thinking Indigo had gone through a lot more. But Scarlett didn’t mind, she would never say it to Indigo but she would protect her little brat of a sister no matter what.

She looked away from his cerulean blue eyes.

“I was stronger…” She whispered, not daring to tell him the truth. Elijah frowned, he had heard the change in her heartbeat, she was keeping something from him.

“When you were 13… remember when you fell from that tree and hurt your arm… you were in a cast for two weeks…” He asked. “Your mother doesn’t know about your quick healing does she?”

“I kept it a secret… I didn’t want it to be used against me, so I never said I was healed. When I was little and used to fall, she used to say I have a guardian angel because I never had much of a bruise and I never told her it hurt much… But the Alpha…” She trailed off.

Elijah’s stomach twisted; He had gotten his answer. Zidane had known about her ability and he had used it against her. But Elijah still wanted to hear it from her, hoping that somehow he was wrong.

“He knew about your healing?” He asked quietly, taking hold of her chin in his rough fingers but his hold was kept gentle yet firm, tilting her head up and forcing her to meet his eyes.

Her chest rose and fell erratically, she knew he knew already. So, she simply nodded. Elijah let go of her as if she had burned his skin.

Rage blazed within him like molten lava. His Alpha aura rolling off him in waves. His eyes darkening, his wolf was screaming for him to go back to the Desert Storm Pack and shred the fucking bastard to pieces. He didn’t fucking care what happened to him in the process as long as the fucking monster was sent to the burning pits of hell where he belonged.

He walked to the door, about to pull it open when Scarlett stumbled from the bed, running over to him and grabbing his arm.

Only the disgusting mark on her neck filled her mind. Zidane’s malicious look of victory… She had been wrong… No matter how hard she tried, no matter how old she got or how far away she went,
