Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 22

Ezra gets near to the window which Colt starts to close.

"Don't go, Cass! Just wait!

Let's talk about this!"

"Go," the Alpha says to Colt as he tries to hold Ezra back.

"Go!" Colt says to the driver.

Dash sits in the front, next to the driver. "Go! Now!"

"Cass!" Ezra shouts.

"Accept the rejection, Ezra!

Let's be done with this!" I shout before the car starts to move.

There is desperation in his eyes but I feel no sympathy. Maybe a few years ago I would have, but not anymore.

Colt closes the window and we start driving.

"Are you okay?" Colt asks.

"Yeah. I'm fine," I say but I stay quiet.

Dash turns around and looks at me. "Curls, he's a prick.

That man didn't care until someone else was interested in you. Otherwise, he would have continued doing the same thing."

I am trying my hardest not to feel bad for the guy. And I will choose not to.

"How long will it take us to get where we are going?"

"About an hour," Colt says.

He rubs my back.

"How are those wounds?"

"Oh, I forgot about them.

They are not hurting."

"Let me see."

I turn around for him. He lifts my shirt and takes the gausses off.

"They are already almost gone," he says.

"Good," I mutter but he doesn't take his hand away.

Instead, he slowly moves his hand up my back. It is a gentle touch, warm and delicate. It feels good.

I close my eyes, feeling the nice sensation.

"So many scars..." He whispers.

I give a hesitant pause.

"Mh, I was a...wild child, according to your mother."

He takes in a deep breath as if he is readying himself for something. "Did any of these where because of me?" He asks.

I don't want to hurt him, but I am not going to lie. "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to, Colt."

He knows that that answer means yes. He closes his eyes and nods.

He suddenly gets close and whispers in my ear. "Well, I am going to love you until I can melt those scars away."

My head turns and I stare at him. The intensity in his eyes makes my chest squeeze with emotions that are unknown to me.

His hand goes to my face and he caresses me gently.

"Your skin is perfect either way but I am going to love you until you forget you have these at all." He whispers with his callous but soft hand now possessively on my thigh.

"Goddamn! I can touch the tension! You are not alone here you know!" Dash shouts.

Feeling embarrassed, I quickly straighten up and properly sit.

Colt grunts. "You are starting to get on my nerves, Dash."

"It's about time. I get on everyone's nerves." He turns back around to look at Colt and mutters, "I am surprised you lasted this long."

"You were always annoying, Dash. I just ignored you."

"Godamn. For nine years?"

Dash says and then mutters.

"You have the patience of a saint then."

"Mh..." Colt turns back to me giving me his attention again. His hand lands on my knee, pulling me close to him. His large frame leans into me. His other hand holds my chin and pulls me to him, locking his l*ps with mine. A fiery k*ss that screams desperation and longing. He pulls back enough for me to be aware of his hand which has traveled up my thigh. He takes in a breath sucking it in through his teeth.

"I've been wanting to k*ss you for days and you wouldn't let me." He breathlessly whispers.

"You know why." I remind him also in a whisper.

"Yeah. But we are away from him now. I want you." His hand caresses my outer thigh, threatening to go up further.

"Yes but...

One of his brows immediately lifts. "But?"

"I'm here, dumbass! We are here!" Dash shouts looking back.

That was exactly what I was about to say. It's like Colt forgot that we were not alone.

"For goddess sake! I will stop this car, run out, and never come back!" Dash says.

I giggle.

Colt takes a deep breath through his nostrils as if they were flaring and then moves back but keeps his hand on my shoulder, pulling me to lean on his chest.

I love how he shows me how much he wants me but at the same time, it still scares me a little. I thought I was done feeling like this but I guess I am not. And also, now that we are away from all that drama with Ezra, I remember something he told me before. I slowly pull away from him. I cross my legs and look out the window as I clear my throat.

"So, what were those things you had to tell me?" I ask.

"Mh?" He looks at me with confusion. "What things?"

"You had told me that there were things that you needed to tell me. That was back in that weird animal room. Things about me?

Remember?"

Immediately he realizes what I am talking about.

"Oh. Yes. But not yet."

"Not yet? Why?"

"For one, we are not alone here."

"Oh, now you want to be mindful." Dash mocks as his head shoots back to us.

"Shut up." Colt's face scrunches up and he narrows his eyes at Dash.

Dash turns back around muttering under his breath.

"Okay, so then when?" I ask.

"How about we get to the city and then we'll figure that out."

I sigh. "Alright."

Throughout the rest of the ride, we all make small talk until finally, we arrive at the city.

"Wow. They are even taller than how they show on TV." I say looking at the tall buildings.

"Do you see the tallest one over there?" Colt points to a building that stands taller than all the others. "That's where we are staying."

After a few minutes of traffic, we stop right in front of it.

Colt gets out and holds a hand to me. I take it and he takes me inside. It is the fanciest place I have ever seen in my life.

"We are staying here?" I whisper to Colt.

He smiles. "Yes."

A pack member, whom I recognize, walks over to us from the front desks where there are lines of people waiting to be tended to.

"Alpha, the rooms are all taken care of. Here are the keys." He says handing Colt a few white cards.

"Thank you." He looks at me.

"Come on."

He leads me to the left of the building where we go inside an elevator. I walk in but my b*dy is stiff.

'Are you okay?" Colt asks while Dash starts laughing at me.

"I've never rode one of these," I say.

The thing starts moving and I feel like I am going to fall. I hold onto Colt with both hands while my knees start to bend as they feel weak.

Colt holds me close, so I don't fall while they now both laugh though I do not find it so amusing.

When the elevator stops, I hurry on out.

"Here we are." Dash says.

"We have the whole floor."

"The whole floor? All these rooms?"

"Yes. Many of the rooms will be used by the pack members and the empty ones will remain empty. Colt is an Alpha and soon will be the Alpha of a pack. He has to be protected at all costs." "It's like...mafia bosses," I say.

"What does your pretty little head know about the mafia?"

Dash asks, looking amused.

"Only what I have seen on TV."

They both laugh.

"Laugh it up all you want but I am sure it's not far-fetched."

"Okay okay. Colt says. He looks at Dash. "I'll send you a text when we are ready to leave," Colt says to Dash.

Dash turns around and waves. "Alright, but let me nap a bit first."

Colt takes my hand and walks us to the end of the hall where he opens a door revealing a huge room.

"Geez," I whisper.

It is an open living room with a glimmering chandelier in the middle.

The floors are white marble and the walls are white too.

The fancy-looking sofas are a cream color and there is gold color stuff around the room to accentuate it. At the end of the room, the wall is a giant window that overlooks the city. There is a fancy "Oh...wow. But I thought the city was not part of our territory."

"It's not. The city is a free area. It is unclaimable territory. So many packs can own buildings next to each other."

"Even the Dark Fang Pack?" I ask.

He gives me a serious look. "Yes. Even them and they do own some buildings around here. But most packs come here for business only. So don't worry."

I stand in front of the window looking out at the city. It is amazing how different it can look when you are looking at it from above.

"Is that why you are here too?"

He nods. "Yeah."

I turn around and face him.

"Okay. Time for that talk."

He acts like he is confused but he knows exactly what am talking about. He walks close to me and takes my hand then twirls me around.

"Let's dance first." He lets me go, then he claps twice.

"Music." He says and suddenly, music starts playing. He claps twice again. "Something slow." He says and a slow song comes on. "Is that like an Alexa?"

"Yep. Now come here." He pulls me into his arms and stars swaying.

He twirls me around and we dance around the room.

I love it. I have never danced so freely before. Usually, it is only in my room by myself.

I love how sweet he is but I have not forgotten how he is avoiding my question.

Taking deep breaths, I come back to the subject. "Colt, you said you would tell me."

He twirls me around over and over. I start to feel dizzy and when we stop, we are suddenly in the bedroom.

He pulls me back and I effortlessly fall on the bed with him on top of me.

I laugh. "Colt!"

"Those are skills. Bet you didn't even notice how we got here." He says and laughs.

"You can be so silly," I say.

He smiles, then looks into my eyes and moves hair strands from my face.

"Tell you what. Let's spend today doing anything you want out in the city. Then tomorrow, we can have a serious conversation about that."

"You promise?"

"I promise. I am not avoiding it. I just want to have a normal day with you."

I slowly nod looking at his l*ps.

"Kiss me first," I whisper. I have no idea how the hell I have the balls to say that to him but I do.

"Oh! Now you are demanding?"

I laugh but I feel embarrassed.

"Well, don't mind if I comply," he whispers.

His l*ps touch mine. I swear I almost feel an electric jolt go through us. I put my hands behind his head pulling him close and deepening the k*ss.

His hands go to my thighs where he lifts them up and wraps my legs around his waist.

"I don't want to go too far" I whisper.

He nods as he k*sses me.

"Okay."

I feel his hips move into mine. Grinding my private parts with his and it feels so good.

It is so good that I moan.

"I like that."

"Mh, like what?" I ask when I part my l*ps from his just a bit but then crash them back on his.

"When you moan like that, it makes me want to do everything to you," he says in between k*sses. "But I'll always stop when you want me to." He k*sses me again. "Just let me know what is too much for you because if you let me, I will take you completely." The thought of his words makes my insides ake for him.
