Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter56　Friends & Confessions

Scarlett had returned to where the rest were training, and they spent a good hour doing seriously gruelling training. She had to admit Liam knew his stuff, pushing them all to their limits. Elijah was brutal too, commanding, firm and didn’t sympathise with anyone. Watching him made her chest swell with pride and her stomach flutter in admiration. He truly was an excellent Alpha already.

He didn’t ask her what she had talked to Fiona about and she wondered if he would later. They had just finished when Angela came over to Scarlett who was lying on her back on one of the mats, both women now soaked in sweat.

“Soo, we need to go shopping.” Angela said bending over her hands on her knees.

“Why?” Scarlett groaned as she sat up.

“For the Blood Moon Ceremony?” Angela replied, as if this was the most obvious thing. Scarlett sighed; she wasn’t sure it was something she was looking forward to. Elijah’s adamance they could be mates was making her hopeful and she knew even if he chose her, knowing that she wasn’t meant for him would still hurt.

“I’ll order something online, ASOS had some nice dresses.”

“No! We are going shopping. End of story. Want me to get Elijah?” Angela said crossing her arms.

“Get me for what?” Elijah said from behind, his vest top damp with sweat, making Scarlett’s eyes run over him taking in every dip and curve of his sexy body. She knew he kept his shirt on thanks to the scratch marks that she had covered his back with but she was glad, she didn’t need all the she-wolves to check out her man. He smirked seeing her gaze trail over him, wanting to pull her close and kiss her right there.

“Scarlett isn’t interested in dressing up for the mating ceremony.” Angela stated, giving her friend a dirty look.

“I didn’t say that, I said I can shop online.”

“Only losers shop online, like I’m getting a designer gown.” Keira’s nasally voice came, making Elijah wince, stepping aside as she pushed forward in her tiny bra and shorts.

“Then get your designer gown, I’m not interested.” Scarlett said.

“Why are you even going, like aren’t you marked already?” Keira said. Elijah’s eyes flashed but Scarlett placed a hand on his chest, trying to ignore the way he felt under her touch.

“It’s none of your business, now get the hell out of my face.” Scarlett said coldly.

“Yeah, like whatever… Alpha, will you be going to the ball?” Keira asked hopefully, although she knew she wasn’t his mate she still wouldn’t mind using any excuse to be around him.

“Of course, he’s going, we need our Luna.” Aaron said as he and Monica came over, Elijah looked at him.

“I’ve already chosen my Luna but yes I will be going to this party.” He said coldly. Aaron’s eyebrow shot up in curiosity.

“Right, I think me and my boy need a chat. You girls should go shopping together?” He suggested.
