Chapter 22 Aftermath

Elijah slowly dropped onto the bed next to her, pulling her against his chest and placing a soft kiss on her forehead. He rested his chin on top of her head, neither spoke, the sheer weight of what they had just done clear in their minds.
Neither regretted it, even if they were supposed step-siblings and if anyone back home found out it would cause issues Elijah didn’t care, he wanted Scarlett by his side. He wanted her as his Luna… If her mate turned up he wouldn’t hesitate to tear his heart out. The sheer reality of his thoughts made him slowly move back.
He looked down at her, not missing the way her chest rose and fell. Not wanting the mood to become serious, he placed a cocky smirk on his lips.
