“Fiona, he can’t hurt you anymore. Relax,” I say.

She doesn’t listen, about to run off when I sigh. “Stop,”I command, letting my Alpha command lay it down heavy, making her stop in her tracks.

She turns towards me, her hazel eyes full of tears as she covers her face and breaks into sobs. I sigh again as I walk over to her, about to pull my top off for her, when she falls into my arms, clinging to my shirt as she cries into my chest.

“You saved me. I knew you would come for me,” she whimpers. I can sense her fear, and although I have half an urge to put some distance between us, I can’t. She was almost raped, and it makes me think of Scarlett.

I wasn’t there for her when she was ganged up on by her own pack mates. Sighing, I wrap my arms around her and stroke her hair, trying to calm her down.

“Look, Fiona, you’re a werewolf. You should have fought back, or mind-linked someone. You weren’t drugged, that should have been the first thing to do. You are a trained warrior,” I say quietly.

“I was too scared,” she whispers, “but you came. You care for me, I-”

“Don’t think more of it than it is. I’m your Alpha and I will always be there for my pack, but there’s nothing more to it than that,” I say quietly, stepping back and pulling my shirt off when an intoxicating floral scent hits my nose. I look up sharply, my eyes widening as I see Scarlett standing at the far end of the hall.

Instantly, I realise she’s misunderstood.

Fuck.

I see the way her heart begins thumping, the hurt in her eyes and I shake my head desperately.

“Red, this isn’t what it looks like,” I say hoarsely, fear like never before rushing through me, and I can see her bringing upher walls.

The moment I move to go over to her, she turns and runs.

“Scarlett!”

But she doesn’t stop, simply speeding up.

“Fuck!”

“Elijah!” Fiona grabs my arm. I pull away.

“Hank’s coming.”

“But the man is right there,” she whimpers.

“Aaron’s on his way, too. I have to go.” I push her away as I break into a jog.

“Angela! Have you seen Red?” I ask, as I almost knock into her.

“No, are-”

I run past her, speeding up as the fear of her shutting me out grows intensely. Come on, Red, don’t do this to me.

Fuck, girl, you’re the only one for me.

Scarlett

The moment I am outof the club, I shift into my huge silver wolf, not caring who sees me. All I feel is pain.

Tears blur my vision, and I feel the agony of my wolf mixed with my own. I have to get away from Elijah, even though I know he’s coming after me. The truth is he hasn’t changed – he never will.

I run faster, not knowing where I am headed, needing some form of comfort that I so desperately crave. My heart is breaking, completely shattered. I lowered my walls and bared my soul tohim. And this is what he does.

I can’t remove the image of the two from my mind.

What can I do? It hurts too much. How could he do this to me? Does he still have a soft spot for Fiona? Clearly, he does. He always has.
