Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter 34

　A Bond Without Blood

Shock filled Indigo as she stared at her stepbrother. His words resonating in her head, everything seemed heightened. Her breathing quickened, the loud thumping rang in her ears as she ran a hand through her short black hair. Her shocked expression slowly turned to one of anger.

“You two are step-siblings… and have been so for the last 8 years… This is disgusting and messed up! It’s so wrong!” Indigo shouted glaring at him, this was the first time she had raised her voice at him, the first time to argue with him.

“I know we are but our parents shouldn’t have been together, they weren’t fated mates.” Elijah growled. His wolf annoyed at her speaking disrespectfully towards him. Something that had never bothered him when it came to Scarlett being disobedient.

“No, they weren’t, but neither are you and Scarlett so how can you two be so selfish!? They beat you to it and are together, this could tear them apart in so many ways. It could hurt them, ruin their reputation and what about the pack? What will they think of this incestuous relationship?” Indigo said trembling, feeling his Alpha power cloaking them. She could sense his anger and annoyance, she was scared but she knew he would never hurt her. Doing her best to stay strong, she watched him trying to reign it in.

Elijah looked at her, she had a point even if it was not one he wanted to admit. How could he blame his father for choosing Jessica when he himself didn’t believe or care for the mate bond?

“You’re not wrong… but I love her and I’m making her my Luna. To hell with what the pack or anyone thinks.” He said coldly.

“You will? What about when your fated mate comes in front of you? Will you break Scarlett’s heart too? And what about her mate? Do you think she’d choose you over him?” Indigo said feeling teary. She

hated crying but she hated feeling like this even more. The two were messing with the very boundary of their family. Her safe place.

“I will reject my mate.” He said with confidence, but he did not know about Scarlett. He also knew she needed the mark removed too… Would he let her go? Just the thought of it made his heart clench.

“She could be my mate… My wolf likes her…” He said quietly.

“I’m only 14 and I don’t know as much as you, but I do know that this can go terribly wrong… You two should at least wait till the blood moon, let the mating ceremony come.” She said softly his last remark making her feel sad for him. It was almost as if he wanted her to be his mate. Things would be easier if that was the case.

Elijah frowned and she knew he did not agree. “We’re too deep in to back out, I would do anything for her Indy. She’s become my fucking world and I don’t even know when or how.”

She felt a pang of hurt, did that mean she was losing her brother? If he considered her sister, his woman and love. She simply nodded, too hurt to speak anymore.

“Whatever you think is best…” She whispered turning away. “You are the Alpha.”

“Indy…” Elijah said sighing.

“I know you won’t, but that’s not it.”

He stepped forward taking her upper arm and turned her to face him. Seeing the unshed tears in her eyes he raised an eyebrow.

“Now this is not the Indigo I know.” He said cupping her face and crouched down to level with her height. Although she was taller than Scarlett to him, she was still the little one. “I’ll always be your big brother pixie, I’ve always seen you as my kid sister. I never saw Scarlett as my sister, not even when dad first got married to Jessica. I just never had that feeling for her and now I guess I know why… This changes nothing between us, you’ll always be my favourite sister.” He said brushing away her tears. She raised her eyebrows

“You only have the one, so that’s not saying much.” She said. He smirked.

“Maybe, but I don’t want this to change things between us.” He said. She sighed.

“It’s gross though, she’s my sis and I see you as my brother, this is so yuck.” She said shivering as if just the thought was off-putting. Elijah raised an eyebrow.

“A girl always finds anyone being with their brother gross anyway, so that’s nothing new.” He said. She pouted, he had a point… She sighed.

“I don’t know how I’m going to get used to this but I’ll try to accept it. I’m warning you two if any of you push me too far, I’ll tell mum and dad.” She said, her eyes sparkling just thinking of blackmailing Scarlett. Elijah narrowed his gaze.

“Don’t you dare use this against Red.” He said almost growling at her but controlling himself from letting his Alpha authority ooze into his words. Indigo frowned, surprised at his possessiveness towards Scarlett. He really must care for her, she thought.

“So now you’re team Scarlett, urgh I hate this!” She said, pulling free from his hold she stomped off back towards home.

“Oh, come on Pixie you know that’s not it…” Elijah said, although it kind of was…

“Whatever!” She shouted back. A small smile crossed her lips despite herself, she was happy things would not change between her and Elijah. She really did consider him her big brother, ever since that night when he had saved her from making the biggest mistake of her life…

The two siblings broke into a run, racing each other with Elijah letting Indigo claim the lead, both had been so absorbed in their conversation they had not sensed the third presence…

The young man sat against the tree he had fallen asleep at, having awoken to the sound of conversation. Anger and jealousy eating him up like a festering plague. Elijah’s words echoing in his mind. So… The future Alpha was having an affair with his sister… A cold smirk crossed his face.

Now, this he would use against Scarlett. Surely, she wouldn’t want the Alphas reputation to be ruined before he even inherited the title…

“You’re mine now, you stupid little bitch.
