Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter72　Moving Forward

The following day came before Scarlett was even prepared for it. Breakfast was over and everyone was going to gather at the training grounds. Scarlett and Elijah were the first ones there. Just being here left a bitter taste in her mouth, the memories were hard to swallow, and she couldn’t wait to get out of here.

“Relax kitten.” Elijah said rubbing her arms, sensing her emotions. She closed her eyes and sighed.

“They will be here soon, and I don’t know if they’ll be willing…”

“Willing for what? Care to share your plan?” He asked quietly. Scarlett opened her eyes realising he hadn’t once asked her what she wanted to do or pressurised her into combining packs. In her emotional state last night, she had forgotten to even discuss it with him.

“Sorry, things have been crazy. I forgot to even ask you.” She said leaning into his chest. “I want to ask the pack to combine with yours… If that’s ok of course. Zidane had businesses that are mine and Indigos now. If we sell this land, the mansion, the cars and other assets we can construct more houses down that side. There’s a lot of empty lands that we can buy near our pack grounds. I am sure many would love to move to a new location. For a fresh start. And those who don’t, we can give them a choice to settle in another pack and we can help them settle there.”

She now looked up at him wondering what he thought, her breath hitched in her throat when she saw the strong emotions clouding in his eyes.

“Hell yeah, that’s fucking perfect.”He said softly hugging her tighter, she closed her eyes relieved. She could hear his thumping heart and knew he had been scared she’d want to stay here. But also, didn’t want to tell her what to do. As an Alpha she knew how he loved control but for her, he kept himself in check. Allowing her to make her own decisions – it was one of the things she loved about him.

“I love you handsome.” She said reaching up, he bent down their lips meeting in a kiss sending rivets of pleasure rush through them both, the sizzling sparks of pleasure every time they touched. The sound of footsteps made them part and Elijah gripped her hips, pulling her against his front.

“Stay close.” He said smirking, she bit her lip thinking he was so distracting!

“Then you better behave.” She said giving him a glare.

“I’ll try.” He said as the first pack members began to approach. They could smell the fear, anxiety and uncertainty radiating off them. Scarlett felt her gut twist with guilt at the way they looked at her in fear. These people needed help long ago, she only wished she had been able to do something sooner.

She smiled at a few children who simply kept their heads lowered, the only ones who dared to look up at her were the omega children she had ran into on her last visit. Their eyes were wide as they looked at her curiously, despite their mothers holding on to them tightly.

Scarlett waved at them and motioned them over. Not missing the fear in their mothers’ eyes although they instantly let the kids go. The boy and girl came over as the boy looked at Elijah.

“Hi mister!” He said.

“Hey kid, I didn’t get your name last time.”

“Jayce.” He said. “And Phoebe.”

“Nice name.” Elijah said as Phoebe looked at Scarlett.

Elijah’s gaze fell to her bubble butt but forced himself to look away,
