Her Forbidden Alpha

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 glared 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 place. 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 accounts 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.

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 never comforted her… I only did my duty as the Alpha.
