Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 26

The man is tall and has dark hair with streaks of gray. He has dark eyes and wavy short hair. He wears a dark blue suit that fits him perfectly. A man who dresses well.

In front of the man-who still cleans his hands-is a body. A dead and mutilated body.

I look up at the imposing figure in front of me.

I am sure this is Alpha Warrick.

"Alexis...where have you been?" The man says as he continues to clean his hands.

"Alpha Warrick..." Colt bows his head before he starts explaining what happened to him but everything he says is a lie so far. I have been with him all this time and none of what he said he went through is true. Once Colt is done, Alpha Warrick looks at me. I feel like I have been nailed into place. I can't move.

"Or so you say happened. Now, what have you brought for me?"

Colt looks at me. "I believe...this is your daughter."

Another lie.

"I found her in the Blood River Pack. Treated as a low

Omega. No one knows who she really is."

"And why do you believe this is my daughter?"

"Get a good look for yourself, Alpha," Colt replies.

Victor rolls his eyes. "How many times have we heard this? Someone supposedly always finds your long lost daughter."

"And I have to entertain it just to make sure," Warrick says.

Warrick stands in front of me.

"Who is your mother, girl?"

He asks.

"I-I don't know."

Victor smirks.

"What is your name?" he now asks.

I don't know if I am supposed to give him a fake name because Colt didn't tell me that.

"C-Cass."

"Cass?" He asks looking a bit intrigued. "Tell me...what makes Alexis here think that you are my daughter?"

That is a really good damn question.

"Uhm...probably cause I don't know who my parents are. I...I was found when I was little...near a river..."

He looks intrigued as I tell him this.

"I think I have had enough suspense. My daughter was born with a mark. Show it to me.""

"A...mark? A birthmark?"

I have no birthmark so this sham is over. Shit.

I look at Colt, hoping that he can help with this but he just stares at me like all these other men do.

Warrick suddenly takes my hand and viciously pulls me close. He turns me and holds me from behind in a tight grip. Then his hand goes to my shirt and he pulls it up, completely taking it off and revealing my chest. I have a bra but it is still embarrassing. He looks down from behind me and suddenly lets me go, slowly striding around me and standing in front of me.

"Look at what she did to you." He mutters.

Reacting now, I quickly cover myself with my hands.

"You brute..." I mutter. Those words came out on their own and I regret it immediately. However, Warrick doesn't seem bothered by them.

Instead, he stares at my chest...or rather what is under it. My burn mark. I never knew where I got it from. I have had it since I was found on the river.

"She mutilated you...all to hide you from me."

His hand suddenly takes my chin and he gets close to look at me.

"Yes...there she is. I see her in you. There is no mistaking it."

Out of nowhere, he plants a big smile on his face. He lets me go and walks around me.

"This is Victor Chevalier.

One of you brothers."

"Are you serious?" Victor mumbles looking surprised.

"Now tell me..." Warrick walks over to me with eagerness. "Do you have it?"

I am confused by this question and I don't know how to answer it. I am actually confused by all of it. Why is he acting like this now? Does he really believe that I am his daughter? "Have...what?" I am afraid to even ask this.

"The gift..." he says. "I look at Colt. I remember him saying something about a gift or a power but I am still at a loss.

Warrick smiles and looks directly into my eyes.

Suddenly he takes a knife from his back and holds it up to me. "Kill Alexis."

"What?!"

Now with a serious expression, he moves close. I want to step back but I feel like that would be a bad idea and it doesn't matter cause I am paralyzed. He looks into my eyes and I think I see his eyes dilate. "Kill...Alexis," he repeats. Kill...Colt?

I look at Colt but he looks calm. I hate it. I hate that he seems unbothered by all of this.

He told me to do everything that Warrick told me to do but I can't do this. I won't!

I look back at Warrick taking a deep breath. "No," I say.

Every single person in the room gasps.

"She...refused..." Victor whispers.

Still looking angry and serious, Warrick stares at me but then to my surprise, the corner of his mouth slides up and he puts on a big smile.

"My daughter!"

What the hell is going on? Does this man really believe I am his daughter? What the hell?

He looks at everyone with a big smile. "A joyous day!"

"Maybe a celebration is in order, Alpha?" Beck asks.

"Indeed, but first..." Warrick suddenly disappears from my sight and then a man falls to his knees with blood on his chest. Warrick holds the man's heart in his hand.

I immediately cover my mouth trying to hold my gasp in. No one else seems surprised.

Warrick lets the heart fall, then takes out a handkerchief and starts cleaning his hand while he now looks at me.

"He hurt you, sweetheart." He says.

Hurt me?

I look at the man on the floor and now I notice that it is the man who brought me in. The one who twisted my wrist.

My eyes go back to Warrick.

This man has no impulse control. This is a crazy and dangerous man.

"No one hurts a Chevalier but...me or under my orders," he says.

I take a deep breath and whisper. "Che...valier?"

"Our family name. You are-"

He stops and turns to me. "Is Cass... Casseopea?"

My eyes widen.

How? How does he know that?

Colt's words come to mind.

"Cass...what I have to tell Warren now, it is completely true. So listen up carefully...you need to act like you already know all of this and you are here willingly." That is what he said to me.

But...this can't be true. I can't be this monster's daughter! I can't be!

"Your real name is Azalea.

Casseopea was your mother's real name. I see she passed the necklace down to you."

He looks at the necklace around my n*ck.

I am in shock. This is all...true? I really am his...daughter?

"Casseopea Chevelier. That is your full name now...mh...I never liked the name but... you can keep it. It reminds me of your mother."

This...this is real?

"And to think. The Blood River Pack had a princess in their grasp all along." He starts laughing. "Such fools!"

"So this is real, father?" Victor asks cutting through the laughter of all the men.

"Yes." He looks at everyone. "This is Casseopea, my eldest daughter." He looks back at me. "And my successor." Succ...succesor!

"But-Father!" Victor starts to complain but Warrick speaks over him.

"She has the gift. You don't and neither does your brother. Now quietly accept this before I make you do something you'll regret." Victor lowers his head. "Yes, Alpha."

Warrick turns to me, his demeanor changing from cold to warm. He stares at me with pride. "I will teach you to be great!"

I am paralyzed. I don't know what to think anymore.

Warrick walks over to Colt and pats his shoulder. "Well done my boy. Well done and welcome back."

Colt nods. "Thank you, Alpha. I am only grateful that I can serve you further."

Warrick nods. "You will."

Warrick turns to everyone.

"This is what loyalty looks like! Take a note, boys!"

No one seems happy, especially Beck

"Poppy!" Warrick calls out. A woman that I had not noticed before, walks around the desk. She has brown straight hair in a bob haircut. She is very pretty with blue eyes, perfect features and wears a pink tight short classy dress. "Take care of my daughter."

He tells her.

She nods. "Of course, my love."

She looks at me with a smile.

"Come with me."

As she walks away, I slowly start to move again, finally regaining feeling in my legs.

I look back at Colt as I leave but he does not look at me at all. I know he has to be like this but I do not like it one bit.

Once out of the room, the lady leads me to the elevator.

"So you are Dahlia's daughter?"

"D-Dahlia?"

"Alpha Warrick renames all of his brides with flower names. I am Poppy. Obviously, that is not my real name. Dahlia was Casseopea."

I keep silent as we ride the elevator just one floor down.

Once out, she leads me through a hall until she stops in front of a door.

She opens it and walks in. "Come. This will be your room for a few hours until we leave for the pack. Go clean yourself. Take a shower and I will be back with fresh clothes for you." She turns on the light and after I walk in, she goes back out, closing the door behind her and then locking it from the outside.

I slowly sit on the bed.

This can't be right. I can't be his daughter. I can't be. I am Cass, an Omega clutz with anger issues. But...he knew so much...

I look down at my burn mark. I have always thought that the burn looked as if it was done on purpose but I don't remember anything about it.

I close my eyes.

So my mother ran, she fled to get me away from this monster who was supposed to be my father. Is that what happened? And here I am. I ended back with him.

As real as this all seems, I just can't believe it. I can't.

"Oh Colt...what are we going to do?"

I get up and walk to the window. I move the curtains and take in the view.

If only I could fly I'd throw myself out of this window.

I close my eyes feeling helpless and then I go and take a shower. It is a quick one. As much as I need a nice warm relaxing shower, I can't relax at this moment.

When I come out of the bathroom in a towel, there are already folded clothes on my bed. Jeans and a white frilly blouse.

With a sigh, I start to put them on. When I am done, I go to look in the mirror but something catches my attention. I see shadows coming from behind my door. As I stare at it wondering who is there, a note is slipped through the floor and then I hear whoever is behind the door leave. I immediately take it and unfold it.
