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.”
