Page 157 of My Forbidden Alpha

“Sure, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go together? With me?” he asks softly as he leans against the door frame, crossing his arms.

My heart skips a beat, realising he’s asking me out. I gaze into those soft brown eyes, ready to decline politely when I hear a low, dangerous growl from behind me. One that makes the hair at the nape of my neck stand on edge.

The warmth of the entrance hall is gone, replaced by the chilling anger that is radiating from a very pissed-off alpha who is standing right behind me.

Table Teasing

Elijah

Irritation and possessiveness rip through me, and the urge to rip Liam to shreds consumes me. I don’t fucking care if he’s supposed to be my friend. He’s trying to make a move on what’s fucking mine.

I walk over, trying to control the blistering rage inside of me. Liam pales, stepping back, clearly realising he’s pissed me off.

I take hold of Scarlett’s arm. I pull her behind me roughly, not wanting him to even look at her. She winces at the force, trying to pull free, but I keep her in place behind me.

How dare he say she looks breathtaking!

“Get the fuck out of here,” I hiss. Liam looks stunned, raising his hands in surrender.

“I’m sorry, El-Alpha. I didn’t mean to offend you. I just came to invite you and Scarlett for-”

“I don’t need an explanation,” I growl, my Alpha aura rolling off me in waves.

Elijah, what is going on?he asks me through the mind-link.

Just fucking leave,I snarl.

I will for now, but I’ll speak to you later.

He looks concerned, but at the same time, he can’t defy me. Scarlett wrenches free from my death grip, massaging her arm as she steps out from behind me, casting me a scathing glare.

“Liam, I’ll come. It sounds like fun. Mind if I ask Angela to join us?” Scarlett asks.

“Sure…” Liam answers, glancing at me. My eyes are cobalt blue as I glare at him menacingly.

“Great! Could you text the details to her? I don’t have my phone and the way Elijah acts, I doubt he’d fill me in,” she says pointedly, giving me a contemptuous look.

I glare at her. Why is she fucking agreeing with him?

Liam nods, bowing his head in submission to me before he steps back. “I apologise for angering you,” he says quietly.

“He’s just sensitive,” Scarlett mutters irritably.

I clenched my jaw, knowing maybe I had come off as extreme.

I slam the door in my friend’s face. Never have I been so pissed at any of my friends before this. “Don’t you dare glare at me!” she snaps, her eyes flashing silver.

“Were you going to say something or allow him to continue to flirt with you?” I ask coldly, my eyebrows furrowing in a deep frown. “Or were you enjoying the attention?”

She clenches her jaw, and I see the flicker of shock and hurt in her eyes.

Fuck, rein it in, man.

I sigh, running a hand down my face. “I’m sorry,” I mutter.

Scarlett simply shakes her head.

She’s disappointed in me…
