Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 25

"What is going on?" I ask them.

"We have to go." Colt repeats getting up. He grabs my arm and gets me to my feet.

Dash and the pack member pick up all the bags from the floor and we start to walk in the direction of the elevators and pull on his hand. "Colt, you need to tell me what is going on."

His face is stoic and it won't tell me anything. I see him look back at the men and then he starts walking faster.

When we reach the elevator, Dash and the pack member go in first. Colt pushes the closing button but steps out of the elevator with me.

If we don't make it back, tell my father not to do anything rash. I will find my way back."

Dash gives him a nod with a worried expression as the door closes.

"Colt!" I say with urgency.

"No time, Cass. Come on. I'll explain on the way."

He goes to the side of the elevators where there is a door that leads to the stairs.

The stairs are two-way, up and down. He starts leading me down.

"Colt! Who are they?!" I shout.

"Those are men from the Dark Fang pack." He finally responds.

"What? Why are they here?!"

"I don't know. But like us, they have property here too so I can only assume that is why they are here."

"But we have many of our own pack here with us. So why are you so scared?"

"Because, If Victor is here, then that means that Warrik is also somewhere here in the city."

As he says this-even though we are a few floors down now-we hear the door that we came from, open.

Colt puts a finger across his lips telling me to be quiet. He then picks me up and starts dashing down the stairs trying not to make any noise.

"I swear I saw him. I think they went through here." A man's voice echoes.

"You sure it was him?"

Another asks.

"I think so."

Soon, Colt reaches the bottom floor where there is only one door left after all the other ones we passed.

He carefully opens it and rushes through it.

We are at the parking garage. Colt puts me down and takes my hand.

"What now?"

A car passes by us with more speed than it should be having in here. It startles us but it keeps going.

"Cass, listen." He kneels behind a car and makes me kneel too. "If we get caught, call me Alexis. If Warrik ever finds out that I am my father's son. The next in line to be Alpha of the Blood River Pack, he would kill me." "O...kay..."

I am scared now because he doesn't look okay. He looks scared and desperate. He starts moving behind the cars as he pulls me with him.

Call him Alexis? So they don't know who he really is?

"Uhm...Skye never told Warrick who you are?" I ask.

"No, he'd kill her too just for being part of the pack but even more so because she was my mate and she knows this."

Wow.

We continue our way that leads down. It is a spiral indoor garage.

He suddenly lifts himself up and smells the air but immediately hides back.

"Damn it! There are more of them up ahead."

I look back with the hopes that we can go back the way we came from but in the distance I immediately see those men coming out of the door. "They are here," I whisper.

"Shit. They are going to catch my scent if they didn't already!"

He stops, still kneeling down but now faces me. Looking at me with concern, he puts his hands on my shoulder.

"Cass...you have to play along. There is no way of getting out of this."

"Play along?"

He closes his eyes. "F**k, I should have told you everything."

"Is it...is it bad?" I ask. "Is what you have to tell me...bad?"

He looks at me with intensity. Then he pulls me in and k*sses me. There is so much passion and desperation at the same time behind this k*ss.

He puts a hand on my chin as he finishes the k*ss, then, pulls back and looks into my eyes. "All you need to remember is that...............I care about you. Okay?

Everything I am doing now is all for you...even...... if I seem like the bad guy."

"What? The bad guy? Why-"

Before I can ask anything, he pulls me up with him and walks right to the middle of the garage.

The men immediately spot us.

"Play along," Colt whispers to me.

"Beck...Victor. Where is he?"

Colt asks the men.

"Look at what the mother f**king cat dragged in...Victor."

The Victor guy has shoulder-length dark curly hair and dark eyes. He is tall and is clearly an Alpha. That much I can see. The other one might be too but I can't completely tell. The Beck guy is also tall but he has a buzz cut. He is tanned and also has dark eyes. Unlike the Victor guy, this man has a few scars.

"Beck, where is Alpha Warrick?" Colt asks.

"We've been looking for you, motherf**ker. Where are the others?" Beck asks. The

Victor guy is quiet.

"We were attacked, Beck.

Some were killed and some of us were taken prisoners. The others didn't make it."

"Hu? You were attacked, yet here you are looking like a million bucks. You don't look so bad to me."

"I don't have time for this shit, Beck. Take me to him."

Colt barks.

"Now why would I do that?"

"And what else are you going to do?" Colt takes a step flexing his chest and deltoids.

Beck's smirk falls and he looks displeased.

"Exactly. Nothing." Colt says. "I was just able to escape a few days ago and ended up here. That's when I sensed him. I know he is here."

"You don't get to see my father just because you say so." Vicor finally speaks.

"Well, he's going to want to see me. I have something for him." Colt looks at me after saying this.

I am about to start panicking but then I remember that he told me to play along. I know he doesn't mean to give me to this Alpha. But the question is, how do I play this? Do I act angry? Nervous?

I am not an actress goddammit!

I don't do a single thing and I definitely don't move a single muscle.

"Who is she?" Beck asks.

Colt looks at him defiantly. "None of your business. Now take me to the Alpha. He is going to want to hear this."

Victor stares at him and then at me as if he is trying to decide what to do.

"Take them to my father. Let him deal with them directly."

He finally says.

Beck looks unhappy by this but nods. "This way."

He goes past us. Colt turns and follows him. He looks calm and composed but I know he is just acting. A minute ago he was the complete opposite. Now he acts as if nothing was wrong.

I turn and try to do the same. Since he is not trying to drag me with him, I assume I don't have to act scared but I am. I am terrified. My heart feels like it's going to explode inside my chest.

We follow Beck with Victor and the others behind us until Beck stops in front of a black car.

"Get in."

Colt holds the door for me and I go inside. I slide all the way to the end but then the door next to me opens. I scoot away and Victor sits next to me. On the other side, Colt slides in and sits on my side and then Beck sits on his. Both of these new men block the doors. The car is one of those that has a black window that opens up to see the driver and it does just that. It opens.

"Back to the Alpha," Beck says to the driver.

I want to scream. I am so scared. We are in so much trouble.

The next thirty minutes are quiet and filled with tension.

The car stops in front of a tall building. It looks just as luxurious as the one we arrived at this morning.

We walk in and head to the elevator. My fight or flight senses tingle and all I want to do is to make a run for it but I hold it in. It feels like when you have to pee and it is about to come out but you have to hold it. Bad way to describe it but that is how I see it. The moment we walk into the elevator, I know that I will be unable to escape now. The elevator stops at the top floor to what looks like a small lobby. There are guards stationed at each side of the elevator and on each side of huge double doors at the end of the small lobby.

"Wait here." both Beck and Victor say. They go through the double doors but it is so quick that I can't see anything inside.

"You sensed him?"I whisper at Colt, remembering what he said back in the garage area.

"No, I knew he was here because Vicor was here too but that Alpha connection severed a while ago. But that doesn't matter now." He keeps it low so that the guards don't hear us though they do look uninterested anyway.

"You were part of his pack?"

"I was forced." Now he takes my hand. "Listen to me. When I was in the Dark Fang Pack, the only way for me to survive was to obey and climb up the ranks. To Warrick, I am one of his seven generals. Cass... I have to be cruel. Please understand. I am sorry, I am sorry for the way I am going to have to treat you. I can't show any affection towards you."

Cruel?

My eyes water but I hold the tears in and nod. "I understand, C-...Alexis."

He closes his eyes and nods as if he was lamenting all of this. "Cass...what I have to tell Warrick now, it is completely true. So listen up carefully and...you need to act like you already know all of this. Like you are here willingly here.

Do you understand me? You are here willingly." He pauses for a moment. "Do whatever he tells you to do."

I nod again. I want to talk and ask questions but my voice is caught with the lump in my throat.

He leans back taking his hand away from mine and fixes his suit. "Now put a brave face up. They are coming."

The door opens and I immediately clean my eyes and act strong.

The door opens but it is two unknown men that walk out.

One of them takes Colt and he is not gentle. The other man walks over to me but the way he strides makes me feel like he is going to hurt me. I back up but the man takes my hand and twists it behind me, making me cry out. From behind he pushes me forward with my hand behind my back and once inside, he pushes me. I stumble and fall on my knees but I quickly get up. I hold my hand feeling a surge of pain on my wrist.

I focus now on what is in front of me. A big older man stands cleaning his hands with a rag of what looks to me to be blood.
