Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter30　I Will Claim What’s Mine

The journey home had been quiet but not too bad, Elijah was able to make her smile a few times but he could tell she was stressed and restless. She kept touching her neck too and although he asked her if the pain was getting worse, she’d simply shake her head. He did place a few kisses on her neck though whenever he got the chance and although she did not admit it, she appreciated his efforts.

They had now pulled up outside the mansion, both looked at each other.

“Be careful… they can’t know about us…” She whispered, Elijah frowned.

“Scarlett I’m serious about you-”

“We’re not doing this right now… Please, I don’t need any more negativity around here than I already get.” She said. Elijah sighed.

“Fine.” He said, thinking for now… She adjusted her shawl, making sure her neck was fully covered.

They’d just about got out of the car when the mansion doors were thrown open and Jessica ran out. She ran straight to Scarlett flinging her arms around her daughter and almost knocking her into the car.

“Scarlett! Oh, thank God you’re ok. I was so scared, I’ve been feeling so restless, are you really ok? By the Goddess I was terrified!” She asked checking Scarlett’s hands and face, just the way she used to as a child. The simple move made Scarlett’s eyes fill with tears, if only her mother knew her father had once again hurt her…

Jessica stopped her rambling when she saw the tears in Scarlett’s eyes. Her face paling as she cupped her daughter’s face, fear filling her like an unwanted poison. Was Scarlett ok?

Scarlett glanced at her mother, her eyes caught something on her neck. Realising that a new mark had replaced her fathers. Jackson’s…

“Elijah, what happened to her?” Jessica asked, looking at Scarlett whose eyes were glazed lost in thought. Elijah came around about to say something just as Jackson and Indigo hurried over, Jackson pulled them both into his arms tightly.

“Finally! You’re both back, Jessica was so worried.” He said. “And so was I.”

“Elijah!” Indigo said, wrapping her arms around his waist the moment Jackson let go of him. He ruffled her hair giving her a tight hug back, his eyes on Scarlett – she was pale.

“We need to talk.” Elijah said, he placed a hand on Scarlett’s back making her stomach flutter but she jerked away from his touch.

She nodded at him, her eyes dipping to his high collared shirt. He had wanted to tell Elijah they had marked each other himself when the time was right, concerned his son might not be pleased. She too wore a high-necked dress, unless you looked closely you wouldn’t see the fresh mark. She just hoped he was ok with it, after all, he never had too much of
