Scarlett

His cerulean blue eyes meet my sage green ones. Our gazes lock and I know he’s smelt me. My heart is thundering like a drum beating powerfully, my cheeks burning with humiliation.

He stands up slowly, his gorgeous eyes dipping to my lips, making my core clench. This isn’t just a boy I’m crushing on, right now as he stands there, it kind of hits me that he’s a real man.

A man who is driving me crazy. What is he doing to me?

He licks his lips slowly, my breath hitching when I spot the piercing on his tongue, my eyes widening slightly.

Fuck, that’s sexy.

He looks away, his nostrils flaring, his jaw taut, and I see a flicker of irritation in his eyes. I’m annoying him again. Or is it the smell of my arousal that’s pissed him off? This is so fucking embarrassing.

The doubts make my stomach sink and I’m not the kinda girl who ever feels insecure unless it comes to him. Why is it that he’s the only one who can make me feel like this?

He turns away looking at the car, there’s two flat tyres andwith the state it’s in, there is no way we will be able to drive home in it. He lets out a growl of frustration.

“Shift. We’ll have to run. I’ll mind-link someone to collect the car and luggage,” he says quietly, not even sparing me a glance. He’s suddenly behaving cold and distant.

“Um, sure let’s.” I make sure to keep my voice as passive and normal as possible, although my head is spinning as if a storm has been unleashed within.

Fuck, can I blame him for being distant? He smelt my arousal. How the hell am I supposed to face him, fuck I just want to be home and hidden away from the entire world.

I hesitate as he shifts, realising if I do that he’s going to see me – my form.

A sliver of unease rushes through me and for a second, I wonder if facing Cade again would be better.

“I can wait until someone comes…” I murmur, not looking at his huge wolf.

Really, Red? After someone was fucking out here for you? Stop being stupid and shift.His command through the mind-link is absolute, but that’s another thing. An Alpha command won’t work on me, but I don’t want to make it obvious that it doesn’t. So I shift, having no other option.

I can feel him watching me, as the moment of bones snapping and reshaping pass in a blink, and I stand before him on all fours. I don’t miss the surprise in his wide cobalt-blue eyes.

I have probably the lightest coloured fur I’ve ever seen. It’s a light grey, one solid colour and when the moon shines on me, it looks silver. But I know it’s more than that; it’s my height that intrigues him. I stand as tall as an average alpha wolf, at four and a half feet tall. I’m huge.

How the fuck are you so big? This is insane,he asks through the mind-link.

Luck, I guess?I reply knowing that’s far from helpful, but I don’t have the answer he wants and after everything that’s happened, shifting stresses me out. Will he act the same way they did?

I turn and break into a run, wanting to get home as fast as possible and curl up on my bed. I hear him chuckle through the link as he runs faster until he’s beside me, giving me a wolfish grin.

Is he really enjoying this? His hot and cold attitude is giving me whiplash.

You’re damn fast. This is incredible,he growls.

I frown, speeding up, but it only seems to fuel him. He’s enjoying the chase… just as an alpha male would. My heart skips a beat, but I keep going, not caring about what he thinks.

I gasp when he nips at my shoulder, brushing up against me, my heart thuds, feeling his soft fur against mine. What is he doing? I slow for a fraction of a second and I can see the amusement in his eyes as he runs ahead.

What happened, Red? Can’t keep up?he teases.

Frowning, I glare at his wolfy ass.

Don’t mess with me, Elijah!I retort, leaping into the air and pounce onto his back. I wince as pain shoots up my waist upon impact. I’m healing, but it’s not fully there yet.

He grunts, stumbling as he turns and tosses me off him, but I’m not that weak. Growling, I grab onto his neck with my jaw, as he continues to try to shake me off and I snicker.

Looks like our big bad Alpha is struggling to handle one little she-wolf!I taunt, surprised when he simply laughs in return. What’s he planning?
