Her Forbidden Alpha

　　Scarlett looked up in shock, never had she felt such power rolling off Elijah as she did just now. It was like a tidal wave had just hit her with full force, emanating from him in waves. Although her mind was screaming at her to put some distance between them, her instincts were telling her differently, she knew from the calmness within her that her wolf felt safe with him too.

　　She turned her attention back to the monster before her. Zidane Malone – Alpha of the Desert Storm Pack… the cold-hearted beast who was meant to be her father…

　　He was the first to look away from Elijah, neither males reigned in their power and it was clear from the other wolves around Zidane that they were being affected by it.

　　“Scarlett… it’s been years, won't you greet your father?” He said, despite the ever so casual remark, there was nothing normal about it. His eyes looked murderous and the chilling tone to his voice screamed danger.

　　“I don’t see anyone around worthy of being called my father… let’s cut to the chase, why did you send your men to track me down?” Scarlett asked, her voice cold but compared to her fathers it sounded like a welcoming melody.

　　“You’re the future heir of this pack… of course I would come to search for you.” He stepped closer and Elijah growled warningly.

　　“You wanted me dead, don’t give me this bullshit, cut to it Zidane.” Scarlett spat, not caring for respect. The other wolves visibly paled seeing her blatant disrespect and Elijah secretly smirked. He liked her confidence.

　　Zidane said nothing, eyeing the young woman before him. He did not care for her, he hated the fact she was not born a male, however he needed to know if the prophecy was correct… Was there really something special about her? If it was then he would keep her by his side…

　　“Let’s talk over lunch.” He said coldly.

　　“I wouldn’t eat anything served by you.” Scarlett replied, “If we’re talking it's here.”

　　Zidane frowned, his eyes turning a dark forest green and a threatening growl came from his throat. “Do not push me you little wench, I’m the alpha here. This is my land and if I wanted you dead you would be dead already.” He hissed.

　　“We came here, so don’t fucking mess around and tell us what you want with her. You're clearly healthy and young enough to run your pack. What do you really want?” Elijah spoke, his power clear in his tone. Zidane’s dark eyes flashed glaring at him.

　　“This is between me and her, stay out of it.”

　　“He’s my alpha, he has every right to speak.” Scarlett shot back.

　　Zidane growled “I'm your Alpha!” He thundered stepping towards her, his claws and canines elongated. Scarlett smirked bitterly. He was still the psychotic maniac he had always been, simply hidden behind a mask.

　　One of the men stepped forward, he seemed familiar but Scarlett couldn’t place him.

　　“Scarlett… I understand you do not wish to be here, however, please listen to the alpha, he only wishes to talk.” He said, his voice was calm but neither she nor Elijah missed the plea in his eyes.

　　Zidane’s eyes flashed as he turned.

　　“Never. Interrupt. Me!” He hissed, advancing on the man who had spoken. The man bowed his head as if he knew what was to come.

　　“Fine! We’ll come.” Scarlett said stopping Zidane in his tracks. A cold smirk crossed his face as he looked her over then at Elijah.

　　Without another word he began walking off the way he came. The six wolves waited for Scarlett and Elijah to begin walking before enclosing them in a semi-circle. Elijah's power making them feel uncomfortable.

　　‘The man's fucking crazy.’ Elijah’s voice came in her head.
