Her Forbidden Alpha
Chapter54　I'd Always Choose You

“It is not ok.” Jackson growled, hating the man more than ever. No one deserved that and especially not a child, not caring when Elijah pulled Scarlett close burying her head in his chest. "He's messed up and needs to be held accountable.”

Jessica was silent, how dare he... how dare he abuse her daughter... their daughter. She felt angry at herself for not seeing it. How could Scarlett, a little girl, take it all in and be strong just to protect her and Indigo? When it was her job as her mother to protect Scarlett. Years of remarks she made towards Scarlett telling her to be easy on Indigo, implying she had had it easy when she had had it worse. Feeling disgusted in herself for even saying that, an apology would do nothing, she owed Scarlett so much more than that...

“So can we change the topic.” Scarlett said feeling uncomfortable as she tugged away from Elijah, seeing the anger in his eyes she gave a small comforting smile. “I'm fine.”

He didn't say anything, simply kissing her forehead, wishing he could have taken all that pain for her.

“Since we're on the topic of Zidane, let's finish it. You said you wanted to help that pack... correct?” Jackson said frowning deeply.

“Yeah, there's so many in that pack who are abused... It's my job as their Alpha to take charge.” Scarlett said firmly, Jackson nodded.

“Let's talk to our allies, we have enough to rally with Scarlett.” Elijah said.

“We usually can't get involved in other packs however... Scarlett is their Alpha, but for our allies to believe that Scarlett will need to prove that she is an Alpha. I can call for a meeting.” Jackson said.

“That sounds good. I'm sure some of his pack members will willingly help Scarlett over Zidane if they knew it was the chance for a better life.” Amelia said. Jackson nodded.

“I'll start contacting our allies.” Elijah said frowning.

“Oh please, were close enough to dogs anyway, who cares?!” She said making everyone stare at her at the blatant insult, apart from Scarlett who stifled a snigger.

“I still think it's just a fling, we all know what Elijah is like.” Jackson said now glaring at his son. Scarlett felt a knot of guilt, she didn't like Jackson blaming Elijah.

“We are both in this together... Stop blaming him.” She said, speaking directly to him after a good few days, the hurt in her eyes clear.

“He's set in his ways, who the fuck cares what he thinks anyway? My decision won't change, she isn’t like the other girls, she's so much more.” Elijah said quietly, wishing his father understood.

“I have a suggestion.” Amelia said before Jackson could even speak.

“What is it now?” Jackson said coldly.

“Send Scarlett and Elijah to London for the mating ceremony. If they find their mates under the blood moon and want to accept their own love or their mates only that will tell us.” Amelia said. “It is nearing anyway and, in that time, you will prepare to face Zidane's pack, so they have time. I don't think you can force them to accept their mates if they don’t want to Jackson and who knows, they may even turn out to be mates.”

Scarlett looked at Elijah, the fear of him refusing her for his mate terrified her, he shook his head.

“I won't ever let you go.” He said quietly, his eyes looking into hers whilst speaking volumes, wanting her to believe him. She nodded giving him a small smile.

She looked down, pondering over Amelia’s suggestion. It was true though, this was what they needed... If they went and were to face their mates, it was better to do it now rather than having the fear that one day he'd leave her for someone else...

“Fine let's do it.” Scarlett said looking at Elijah. “At least when we face our mates, we will know if our love is strong enough.” She said softly.

Elijah turned to his father. “And if, by any goddess-given chance, we are mates. Then what will you do? Will you split from Jessica?”

Jackson frowned. “Don't you dare-"

“No, I'm stating facts. You're so against us but what about yourself, if we are mates then you're the one in the wrong relationship.” Elijah said coldly. He couldn't forgive his father for the stuff he said, knowing even if Scarlett didn’t show it, it had affected her.

“You two are not mates.” Jackson said firmly.

“Even if we're not she will be the only woman in my life, you can do whatever the fuck you want with that.” Elijah said turning his back on Jackson. The elder Alpha growled.

“Do you want to be Alpha, Elijah? Take this path and you will never see that title.” He said angrily. He just couldn't accept the incestuous relationship, shocked that Amelia and Jessica were ok with it. The women all stared at Jackson's obvious blackmail but Elijah simply gave Scarlett his killer smirk, his cerulean eyes filled with love and confidence. He looked over his shoulder at his dad, his eyes hardening.

“If I have to choose between being an Alpha and Scarlett, I'll choose her, every single fucking time."00000000000000
