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.

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.
