Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter61　Father To Daughter

The following day dawned cold and grey and it mirrored the mood within the Alpha’s mansion perfectly. Breakfast was tense, even the delicious smell of Jessica’s cooking couldn’t lighten the mood. Indigo sat there, a pout on her face, looking between Elijah and Jackson. She wished they’d put aside their egos and stop this ridiculous issue between them.

“So do you both have everything packed?” Jessica asked looking at Elijah and Scarlett.

“Yep, all packed.” Scarlett said playing with the scrambled eggs on her plate.

“Yeah, all ready for this ball.” Elijah said in an antagonising tone. “I wonder if anything is going to change. You sure you don’t want to come dad? To see how I reject anyone but Scarlett?”

“Watch it, I’m giving you one chance. You might come home with no mate but remember, you won’t be taking your Alpha position.” Jackson said coldly, his eyes flashing dangerously. Elijah simply scoffed.

“I don’t mind, my wolf doesn’t seem bothered either. So I guess we’re good and it might be for the best right? I mean Scarlett’s an Alpha with a pack…” He said smirking. Although the thought of losing his own pack hurt, he wasn’t going to let his dad see that. He had put a lot of work into this pack and he loved it with everything he had.

“You’re a fucking disrespectful asshole you know that Elijah? Your mother would be ashamed if she saw you today!” Jackson snapped, slamming his cutlery down. Jessica closed her eyes trying not to scream in frustration as she watched her China plate crack in half from the force. Her daughters watched her try to control her wolf, her eyes flickering dangerously. Everyone knew Jessica’s temper when it came to her dishes.

“I wonder… Shame she’s not around or all this shit wouldn’t be happening to start with.” Elijah growled coldly.

“Elijah, please can you stop.” Scarlett said giving him a look. Indigo looked at her plate suddenly feeling really upset.

“You know, I don’t know what this mating ceremony will bring but can we at least have one meal as a family? Before shit goes down?!” She said.

“Indigo, language!” Jessica snapped.
