Her Forbidden Alpha novel Chapter 40

　　Angela glanced at the Alpha who hadn't joined them yet, his eyes dark with lust and the colour showed his wolf had surfaced. She continued dancing with Scarlett but her eyes were now on Elijah, not once did his eyes leave Scarlett, like a snake entranced by a snake charmer. His gaze followed Scarlett’s every dip and curve, every sway from her friend's sexy hips and Angela understood. Her assumption had been correct… but what did that really mean? Was Elijah really into Scarlett?

　　“Come on handsome, join us!” Angela said as they approached him. Scarlett gave him a small smirk. They began dancing and sure enough, Elijah’s eyes never left Scarlett as he danced behind her. His hands skimming her hips, pulling her against him as she began grinding on him, not even noticing the woman who was dancing behind him.

　　They were in the middle of the crowded dance floor, too far from their friends to see them, too lost in each other.

　　“You look fucking breath-taking.” Elijah murmured in Scarlett’s ear, she gave him a small smile wishing she could mind link him. They turned until Scarlett was dancing in the middle and Angela watched them. As she danced in front of Scarlett, she didn’t miss the small smile on her lips.

　　Angela didn’t feel jealous, sure she was shocked, confused and really surprised, but she was happy for her ride or die queen. However, she wanted some answers and she was definitely going to get them.

　　They danced for a while and Angela felt like more and more of a third wheel, although Scarlett would sometimes twirl or tease her. Angela could see the Alpha was fighting to control his wolf.

　　“Alright, you two I can smell how turned on the both of you are!” Angela said giving them both a look. Scarlett flushed embarrassed, her eyes widening as she looked at her friend who had her hands on her hips glaring at them. Elijah simply smirked.

　　“When you dance with such sexy women that’s what happens…”He said, his fingers skimming the band of Scarlett’s tights.

　　“Yeah, we all know you only danced with one woman.” Angela said quietly. “I need answers, now!”

　　Scarlett looked between them, Elijah looked relaxed and Angela was giving her a firm stare.

　　“Fine… We’ll be right back…” Scarlett said, taking Angela’s arm and leading her away from the dance floor towards the restroom.

　　“Oh my god, Scarlett what is going on?!” Angela exclaimed the moment Scarlett shut the door behind them. Scarlett placed a finger to her lips, taking a moment to sense if they were alone in here. When she was satisfied, she looked at Angela.

　　“Not much…” She said biting her lip.

　　“The truth Babe, I'm your friend. I won't ever judge.” Angela said. Scarlett sighed and walked over to the mirror, looking at herself.

　　“I know… but I was – I mean I am scared. I’ve liked him for a while… but since he’s come back, he’s changed towards me, he said he loves me Angela… and I… I think I love him too.” Scarlett whispered feeling vulnerable saying it out loud. She hadn't said those words to Elijah even. Angela covered her mouth and Scarlett was ready for her onslaught of criticism but instead, she closed the gap between them and hugged her tightly.

　　“Oh, babe… and you couldn't share it with me? Honestly, I’m always here for you… Yes, I find him so sexy… But if I knew he was taken I wouldn’t have said all those horrible things. Oh my god now I know why you were acting off!”

　　“Hey, it’s fine. It’s messed up, I know… and you know how mum and dad are marked now…” Scarlett said.

　　“This is Elijah Westwood, he gets what he wants. I don’t think family dynamics will stop him and you two could be mates. If you are then no one can do anything.” Angela said firmly looking into her friend’s face.

　　“I know… but I'm not that lucky for him to be my mate…” Scarlett said quietly, Angela looked at her.

　　“If anyone deserves to get the mate they want, it’s you. Heck if the moon goddess doesn't pair you two, I’d like to take it up with her!”

　　That made Scarlett laugh, lightening the mood a little.

　　“I can imagine you doing that too, but I am sorry I know you crushed on him too….”

　　“Oh girl, I just wanted to taste him, but you know maybe you could fill me in on what I'm missing out on. I promise if you give me graphic explicit detail, I will forgive you.” Angela said with a pout. Scarlett burst out laughing.

　　“God, I love you Angie.” She said hugging her friend tightly just as the bathroom door opened.

　　“Shame I don’t get to hear those words.” Elijah said from the door leaning against it, the girls rolled their eyes.

　　“This is a girls bathroom Alpha.” Angela said.

　　“Don’t really care, I don’t go by rules remember?”

　　“Clearly no rules bind you…” Angela replied, looking between the step siblings. “Wow… This is so … Wow I never would have ever thought it but you know now looking at it, I think it’s perfect.”

　　“Thanks.” Scarlett said as Elijah’s eyes trailed over her. “You should get back to the others we’ll see you soon.”

　　“One kiss.” He said making Scarlett blush, Angela whistled.

　　“Alright! I want to see this, make sure it’s a hot one!” She said, Elijah smirked.

　　“Sure thing.” He said walking over to Scarlett who stepped back, her ass pressed against the sink. Elijah licked his lips making her core throb.

　　“Elijah…” She said. He tangled his hand in her hair, tugging her head upwards as Angela watched with a smirk on her lips. Elijah grabbed Scarlett by the ass pressing her against him, his lips meeting hers in a rough hot kiss, biting down on her lip. She gasped giving him the entrance he needed, his tongue dominating hers, a moan escaped her loving the way he handled her. No matter how strong she was, she liked feeling his control over her. There was something so sexy about it…. The smell of her arousal filled the air and Elijah kissed her harder, lifting her up onto the counter, his hands on her ass. She twisted her fingers into his hair, kissing him with equal passion.

　　Both now having forgotten the audience they had.

　　“Ok ok, guys. Unless I get to join, you two better stop right now!” She said making Scarlett smirk, breaking away as she looked into Elijah’s eyes. Pressing her forehead to his, she closed her eyes inhaling his scent.

　　“Ok you should go.” Scarlett said to Elijah, who moved back a smirk on his lips.

　　“See you soon kitten.” He said tapping her ass before he walked out. The moment the door shut Angela let out a fangirl scream.

　　“That was so hot! Damn his hands were all over you… Ugh, that was so sexy!” She said, Scarlett looked in the mirror fixing herself up a little before both girls left the restroom.

　　“So how you are feeling quitting at the salon?” Angela asked. Due to the risk with Zidane both Elijah and Jackson wanted her to stop working at the human salon. Scarlett shrugged.

　　“I still went to the diner and it helps keep my mind of things, although old Laura wasn’t happy I took so many days off!” Scarlett said stepping back into the loud music and crowds.

　　“Laura is a grumpy old bat.” Angela remarked as they made their way over to the table. Elijah wasn’t there to her surprise, neither were most of the others, only Aaron, Liam, Monica and Keira were there.

　　“Where’s Elijah?” She asked.

　　Aaron looked at her, it was clear he and Monica had snuck away for a quickie and it showed.

　　“He left a while back and hasn’t been back.” He said. Kiera who was downing drink after drink glared at her.

　　“And that whore Fiona too.” She spat. Angela and Scarlett exchanged looks.

　　“Fiona?” She said.

　　“Yeah, she’s probably at her game again, we all know Elijah said she’s fucking good with her mouth!” Keira slurred, she was pissed and clearly had drunk way too much even for a werewolf. Monica sighed.

　　“Let him have fun, he and Fiona have been together for a while Kiera. Even if it’s on-off, they go really well, just get over it.” She said standing up. “Come on baby, let’s dance.”

　　Angela looked at Scarlett who was frowning slightly.

　　“I doubt he’s with her.” She said, Scarlett nodded but she felt uneasy, she sat down feeling restless.

　　“Want to dance Scarlett?” Liam asked.

　　“No.”

　　“I do, come on Liam.” Angela said knowing Scarlett didn’t need him harassing her.

　　Left alone with Keira she began to feel uneasy, suddenly feeling hot. Crap not now, she thought. She shivered as she broke out in a sweat, what the hell was wrong with her? She stood up not feeling so good, deciding to go to the restroom once again.

　　She walked through the crowd, every touch or brush against someone made her skin feel extra sensitive. She wrapped her arms around herself as she pushed through, relieved when she saw the side corridor and hurried down it, stopping when she caught two scents from the mix of many, Elijah’s and Fiona’s.

　　Her heart thundered in her chest as she walked down the corridor following their scents. She felt uneasy, as if she would see something she didn’t want to. There were a few doors that were clearly only for staff and she wondered if she should even be here, she stopped suddenly rounding a corner at the sight before her. Elijah stood there in the corner, his jacket was gone, his shirt was half-open. A very naked Fiona in nothing but a pair of undies stood in his arms, his hand on the back of her head, the other rubbing her back as he whispered into her ear…

　　She stood there trying to tell herself that she shouldn’t believe everything she sees, even though her heart was tightening she tried to stay calm as she looked down the far corridor, but Elijah’s next move made her blood run cold. He stepped away from Fiona pulling his shirt off over his head…
