Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 42

"And he is going to be fine, right?" I ask the pack doctor as I watch Serge rest on the infirmary bed. "Yes. He is going to be good as new in a few days."

I'm glad he's okay. I don't know him at all but he seems like an upstanding man.

Plus, he got hurt protecting me.

I look at Serge as he lies on the bed. He is conscious and awake but he has his eyes closed, resting.

"Thank you. If not for you..." I sigh. "Thank you."

I walk out, leaving him to rest, and clap at Victor.

"Alright! Let's get to training!"

"It almost seems like you are going to take it seriously now." He says.

"I am. I need to learn how to fight. I am an Alpha but without training that means nothing."

He smiles, approving of my words.

I spend the morning training and putting in all I have to it. Victor is working with me to grow my stamina first. It is exhausting but I know I need to do this.

"I told you! No killing! Or I am not doing it!"

"You are insufrable you brat!"

"I am not the brat! You are the one who is scared of change and is soooo DAMN stubborn!"

"I'M stubborn?"

"Yeah."

He looks at his Beta with wide eyes. "This little..."

The beta seems like he doesn't know how to react and honestly, he looks a bit uncomfortable.

"Punch him." I say to Archie, the beta.

Archie looks at me with shock. "What?" He asks.

"Aww damn it. I thought it would work."

"You horrible girl! You were commanding him to punch me?"

"Yeah, well...it didn't work. But it will someday. And hey, that is all the motivation I need. No need to kill anyone 'cause that is not going to motivate me at all." "I have gotten way over my head here with you. I can't handle you."

"Well...too late now."

"You are really making me regret this shit."

I shrug and immediately ask him what is really on my mind. "So, where is Colt?"

"I am not telling you."

He hid him from me after my little sizzling rendezvous with him and the fight with Ezra. It has been two days.

"Well if you don't, I'll still find him. And once I do, I am going to grab that dick and give it a good-" He immediately interrupts me.

"YOU KNOW WHAT? Go away. We are done for today.

You are draining my damn lifeforce!"

I laugh as I walk out.

"You really enjoyed that, didn't you?" Victor says. He was behind me watching everything since he has taken over Serge's duties. "You did too. Admit it."

He laughs. "Yeah. He was out of his element. Never seen him like that."

As we walk downstairs, we pass by the space that has the sunroom. Lotus and Poppy are there sitting around a small table having tea.

"Hey, beautiful. Come sit with us." Lotus shouts across the room, patting the chair next to her.

I walk over with Victor behind.

"Here we have the girl that is causing all types of changes and commotion." Poppy says with a smile.

I laugh with a little embarrassment.

"Well according to father, I am being a brat." I sit with them and join them in conversation.

Poppy smiles. "I have never seen him like this, you know."

"Like what?"

"So...lost."

"Lost?"

She nods. "It's like he doesn't know how to handle you.

He's always been very strict. Would punish any of us without giving it a second thought if we broke any rules."

"That's because after you've been punished, you obey him immediately and fall in line." I say. "He is not going to get me with that. And look, I am not stupid. I know that there are punishments that he has done to others that are... appalling. I get that at any moment

he could choose to do something like that but I am definitely taking advantage of the fact that he needs me. He wants my power and that is why I am able to get away with so much. Because of his obsession with it."

"You are wrong. He doesn't suffer you because of your power. It is because of your mother." Poppy says.

"My mother?!"

"Yes. You are her daughter. The daughter of his one true love. He doesn't love us. He cares very much for Lotus because she has been with him the longest after your mother but he doesn't love us." "He...loved her?"

"Very much." Lotus nods.

"Then why did she run from him?"

"Don't get it wrong, she loved him as much as he loved her.

But she loved you the most. She was scared of the place that he had created. This place. She didn't want you to grow up knowing such cruelty. She begged him to stop it all. To let his ambitions go. But he couldn't. Without warning, she found a way out. Unfortunately, it caused her death. He became even more cruel after her death."

Poppy nods. "Yeah. After she died, that's when all this hell really started."

"But he doesn't hurt you two, does he?" I ask.

"No. He has never hurt us like that."

I nod. "And Skye...Jasmin? What happened to her? I saw her with a bag the other day."

"Oh, she got kicked out of the main house. She is no longer a bride and was taken to the pack house."

"And she has been quiet all this time now?"

"Yeah, surprisingly. She got knocked down from that pedestal she put herself in."

"Oh! Well. It was her own doing."

"Yes but...just be careful."

"Why?"

"Well, now that she has been removed as one of Warrick's brides, she might just try to go back to Alexis-I mean Colt."

"You think so?"

"Could be a possibility."

Then she's going to have to go through me...but...what if...what if Colt wants her back?... Stop it! Cass! Don't be stupid! This man loves you!

And he is mine! I marked him!

I take my mind away from those thoughts. "Anyway, neither of you would know where Colt is being held, would you?"

They both shake their heads.

I sigh. "Okay, thanks for the chat. See you guys later."

I walk out thinking that I am going to have to try and find him myself. I have been trying to feel him, I should feel him now but it is not strong enough. Suddenly I spot Garret.

With a mischievous smile, I walk up to him.

"Hey!"

He looks at me, stopping the conversation he had with another pack member.

"Yeah?"

"Where is Colt?"

"Oh no! No! Don't!"

"Don't what?"

"Don't ask me."

"Why?"

"You know why!"

"No, I don't."

"You are going to use your power on me."

"Well, I won't if you just tell me."

He opens his mouth but quickly closes it. Then he closes his eyes and shakes his head.

"Come on little brother. You can tell me." I say in a sweet tone.

"Little-" He closes his eyes and sighs. "The cells downstairs. Now let me be."

He says.

I turn to Victor. "Oh? This house has cells?"

"Yeah."

"Lead me to them."

Victor leans to the side and looks at Garret who is behind me.

Garret shakes his head.

"Don't look at me. She is your problem."

Victor sighs and then without hesitating, he leadsme to the cells, leaving an irritated Garret behind.

He takes me to a door in the back that seems to be a bit hidden at the end of one of the halls.

We open it and go down a flight of stairs and immediately there are cells on each side of the walls. But they are all empty. "Where is he?"

"He...must have been moved?" Victor says.

"Moved? Are you sure that is it?" I panic.

Victor looks at me but he can't really reassure me.

I run up the stairs like a demon ready to cause some hell.

I barge into Warrick's office.

"Where is he?!" I shout.

Everyone looks at me...including Colt who stands in front of Warrick's desk.

"Oh...there you are..." I feel just a bit embarrassed but I was ready to raise some real demons out of hell.

"You really have no manners, do you?" Warrick asks.

"Uhm...well..."

I look at Colt and see that he has no cuffs.

"We are having an important conversation," Warrick says.

I nod. "Okay."

"A private one." He adds.

"Oh...I see." I say as I look down at my pants and pat them to clean them.

"You are not leaving, are you?" He asks.

I give him a big smile.

"Nope."

He takes in a deep breath looking exasperated.

"He will no longer be treated as a prisoner. He will be your responsibility now." Warrick looks at Colt. "And she will be yours. Victor has other responsibilities so you are to protect her from now on." Colt nods. "I will. Always."

"I trust that you want to be with her more than you want to return to your pack."

Colt nods agian. "Yes. If she stays, I stay. I'll follow her anywhere."

"Good. Now leave. Both of you." Warrick says.

I take Colt's hand and turn around but Warrick speaks again. "I am not soft, girl.

Don't think that for one second. I will kill everyone around you if you betray me. So mind yourself."

I look at him before I walk out. "I know. I believe every word you are saying. But I have no reason to betray you...unless you give me one."

I can see him grinding his teeth as I say this.

"And I still mean it! Don't finish the mate bond! I warn you! You will never see him again."

"Yeah yeah, but also, stop killing people. Now that's an idea, eh? It's so overrated already." I smile at him and walk out leaving him cursing under his breath.

Immediately after closing the door behind us, I grab Colt and give him a big hug.

"I...I couldn't sleep the last few nights." I say. "I missed you too much."

His warmth encases me and I almost melt into his arms.

"I know. Me too. It felt like I needed you." He says.

I nod and look up at him.

"Let's got to my room...our room."

He smiles. "Are you asking me to live with you?"

I laugh. "I guess I am."

"Then that is a yes." His grin almost reaches his ears. "Let's go."

We sprint all the way up to my room. We lock the door and I push him on the bed.

He falls back and lies down on it while I climb on him.

I k*ss him. His hands grab my butt cheeks and he squeezes as we deepen the k*ss.

"Mh...I missed you, Angel."

I smile and dip my head to his neck. I softly k*ss him and lick the mark I gave him. It is pure pleasure just to see this mark on him. He is mine...well...almost completely mine.

Even though we are not officially mates, it still feels much more different than it did before. It is not just intensity. I feel...so much calm here with him. Inner peace. I feel...safe and his scent kills me. It is so good.

I pull away and look into his eyes. "I could stare at you all day." I say.

"We should stay right here like this for the rest of our lives." He adds.

I laugh and he laughs.

My nose crinkles. "Too much."

"Yeah."

He clears hair from my face and looks into my eyes with intensity. "I love you, Cass. I love you so much. I can't wait for the day that you are completely mine."

"Mark or not, I am already completely yours, Colt. I love you. I am glad it is us together."

He nods. "All that I have been through, it is all worth it now that I have you."

"All of it?"

"Yes, all of it. I'd go through all of it again if I knew it would lead me to you."

I give him that face where I am about to make fun of him but he narrows his eyes before I can say anything else. "Don't you dare ruin this moment."

I laugh. "Okay okay." I look to the side, thinking. "I'd do the same too. If I knew that I had to go through it all to get to you, I would."

"Good thing we don't have to."

"Yes! We are where we are supposed to be!"

"No. I don't agree." He says.

"What? Why?"

He gives me a devilish

smile.

"Because where you are supposed to be is under me right now."

"Under you?"

"Yep." He twirls us around and makes me straddle him while he presses his hips against my core. "See, just like this."

"Oh! Yes, much better." I say agreeing and then he locks his l*ps with mine in a passionate kiss.
