Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter54　I’d Always Choose You

“It is not ok.” Jackson growled, hating the man more than ever. No one deserved that and especially not a child, not caring when Elijah pulled Scarlett close burying her head in his chest. “He’s messed up and needs to be held accountable.”

Jessica was silent, how dare he… how dare he abuse her daughter… their daughter. She felt angry at herself for not seeing it. How could Scarlett, a little girl, take it all in and be strong just to protect her and Indigo? When it was her job as her mother to protect Scarlett. Years of remarks she made towards Scarlett telling her to be easy on Indigo, implying she had had it easy when she had had it worse. Feeling disgusted in herself for even saying that, an apology would do nothing, she owed Scarlett so much more than that…

“So can we change the topic.” Scarlett said feeling uncomfortable as she tugged away from Elijah, seeing the anger in his eyes she gave a small comforting smile. “I’m fine.”

He didn’t say anything, simply kissing her forehead, wishing he could have taken all that pain for her.

“Since we’re on the topic of Zidane, let’s finish it. You said you wanted to help that pack… correct?” Jackson said frowning deeply.

“Yeah, there’s so many in that pack who are abused… It’s my job as their Alpha to take charge.” Scarlett said firmly, Jackson nodded.

“Let’s talk to our allies, we have enough to rally with Scarlett.” Elijah said.

“We usually can’t get involved in other packs however… Scarlett is their Alpha, but for our allies to believe that Scarlett will need to prove that she is an Alpha. I can call for a meeting.” Jackson said.

“That sounds good. I’m sure some of his pack members will willingly help Scarlett over Zidane if they knew it was the chance for a better life.” Amelia said. Jackson nodded.

“I’ll start contacting our allies.” Elijah said frowning.

Jackson nodded now looking at the two, there was one more issue that needed to be addressed.

Jackson raised an eyebrow.

He said. His words cut Scarlett like a knife, feeling as if she had just been slapped. Her eyes stung with tears, tears that she hated so deeply she would not let them see them. She kept her gaze down despite the agonising pain in her chest. She felt like a defective unwanted
