Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 51

Before Colt can get too far away, I grab his arm and pull him inside. Without warning, I crash my lips onto his. "May I remind you, Sir, that you are the one who was insistent on doing this how my father wants us to do it."

"I know. But...it is harder than I thought it was going to be."

"I know." I hug him.

"When I see him...thinking that he can have you...it pisses me off."

I rub his back and he starts to relax. "My love...can you do this? Because I don't want you to suffer. I don't want to cause you pain."

"Yes...I can do it."

I chuckle. "Can you do it without trying to rip Alpha Oliver apart?"

He sighs again. "Yes."

I pull away and look into his eyes. "Okay. But if it is ever too much for you, then f**k it. We stop it. You might not be able to mark me but we can out ourselves."

He smiles then leans in and kisses my head. "I love you."

He looks relieved now.

"Colt...I love you more than anyone in this world. You were the light in my darkness. Made me feel hope again. So please, know that there will never be anyone else for me. You are the only one I want."

He heavily exhales. "I guess I can go now."

"Hmh?" I am confused.

"I can sleep good now thinking of the words you just said to me."

I grin but before I can say it, he beats me to it.

"Not cheezzy!" I laugh. He gives me a quick kiss and walks towards the door.

"Sleep well!"I tell him.

"Oh...I won't. Not without you."

I smile as I watch him leave. I am sure That I also won't be able to sleep without him. It is a bit earlier than usual but without Colt, I am so bored so I decide to go to sleep. Especially since I haven't been sleeping well lately. "You must still want me if you keep coming to see me."

"Huh?" I am confused by these words.

Ezra smiles down at me. I am back in the white room but this time, this time I can't move. I lie on the sofa looking at Ezra's stupid face staring down at me with his stupid smile.

"My brother must not be satisfying you properly." As he says this, he takes my hand and moves it to his lips. I can feel the warmth of his breath and I am taken aback again at how real this all feels.

"Hmh...maybe...I'll take you back if you beg me."

"Why do I keep dreaming of you?" I ask. Talking and moving my l*ps is all I seem to be able to do.

"So you do want me."

"No. I will never want you."

I close my eyes realising that my obsessive hatred for him is what is making me dream of him so much. It has to be that. what else could it be?

Suddenly I feel the warmth of his hand on my neck but before I can react, I am startled awake by knocks on my door.

Light comes through the window. It is already morning.

I f**king hate these dreams. No, nightmares, they are nightmares.

Another abrupt knock makes me get to my feet and rush to the door. When I open it, Alpha Oliver stands there next to Serge who guards my door.

"Good morning my lady." He says in his British enticing accent. "Would you do me the honors of having breakfast with me?"

I am caught by surprise so for a few seconds I just stare at him.

...S-sure...

"Marvelous." He looks at my clothes and smiles. "I'll wait."

I slowly nod and close the door.

Usually, I wake up happy and feeling relaxed but not today. And I know why. When I wake up every morning, the first things I am greeted with are Colt's eyes and his smile, his deep morning voice saying "good morning" to me, and his morning kiss. But not today and I feel...lost.

When I finally snap out of my stupor, I quickly get ready and head out even though the only urge I have is to see Colt.

Oliver leads me downstairs outside where there is a small table in a small garden area. There is food already waiting for us.

He pulls a chair for me and after I sit, he sits in front of me.

"What a beautiful day it is." He says with a smile.

I slowly nod. "Yeah."

I know I sound very awkward and that is not good. I force myself to be more social.

"So...why did you come here to settle?" I ask him.

He starts speaking about his family but I can tell that he is being just a bit vague about it. The whole conversation ends up being about when he a already arrived here.

For some reason, he steers away from anything to do with his past and family which I find very suspicious.

I am relieved when it ends and I start my day with training. Warrick wants me to keep my daily routine and for the next three days, I do.

But Victor has really cranked up my training. He beats the hell out of me though that doesn't bother me as much since I am able to take beatings pretty well, keeping up with him has been a challenge however, his methods work. Slowly I have been able to fight back and keep a good pace. I also am getting less fatigued which comes to another type of training he incorporated, running. He makes me run laps now. At first, I hated it but now I understand why he does it. Endurance. It is a bit easier to keep up with him now. As for Colt, I have seen him secretly many times and he is doing much better in keeping his jealousy under wraps. Mostly because I show him how much I want him whenever we secretly meet.

I now run past the river where I can see the house in the distance and Victor waiting for me but suddenly I spot something strange. At the side of the house where the small garden stands, I see Colt with Skye. This makes me slow down to a sprint. "What...the hell?"

He had told me that she had apologized to him but he didn't tell me that he was talking to her again.

Catching my breath, I stop.

She says something to him and he smiles. My blood suddenly boils.

By no means do they look like they are flirting, in fact, Colt is a few feet away from her with his arms crossed and his body language tells me he is a little uncomfortable but still, his smile seemed genuine.

Without giving it a second thought, I stomp all the way to them.

"What is so funny?" I ask with a fake smile.

They both look at me startled.

"Oh...nothing," Skye says.

"Hmh...then why are you talking to him?" I am blunt and I don't hide anything. Colt takes a step back and stands next to me which makes me want to smile but at the moment, I don't. Good mate...

He stays quiet and lets me assert my claim over him, meaning that I am letting her know that he is mine-a behavior typical in us.

"Why can't I talk to him? We are not doing anything wrong. Are you that insecure?" She asks.

"Do you really want to go there?" I take a step towards her.

"I have no wish to fight you." She says. "There is no reason for that. But also, whether you like it or not, he and I share a lot of history together, and though I know where I stand in all of this and I know what I did, I speak with him out of the friendship that we once shared..." She slowly shakes her head. "...things can't be forgotten that easily."

I don't know what her game is and although she doesn't seem agitated, she does seem defiant...and I don't like it.

"Well, I can always make you," I say looking straight into her eyes. "I can make you forget it all...hell, I can make you do whatever I want."

Her mouth opens but she quickly closes it. She stares at me now with fear. She looks at Colt and then back at me before she turns and walks away.

I feel pure satisfaction and I can't hide it.

I look at Colt to find him staring at me. His expression is completely unreadable and it is almost scary.

"What?" I ask.

He looks down and shakes his head. "Nothing."

"Nothing? Seems like something is bothering you." I cross my arms and watch him closely. If he defends her, I am going to be so pissed.

"Did you really have to threaten her like that?"

"Are you serious? You are taking her side?"

"Cass...this is not about her. I get why you are upset, it's natural in our kind and it

doesn't bother me at all. It's the fact that you...you-" He stops and looks down. "It's nothing...never mind."

"No. Not never mind."

***

Colt's POV.

"It's nothing, Cass," I repeat.

"Are you sure about that?

Cause you seem upseat!" She says.

I am actually very calm. She is the one who is upset.

Her reaction is not what bothered me. It was what she chose to do. She doesn't realize that every day... she acts like her father just a bit more. It is like she is losing sight of who her father really is but I don't. I am reminded every single day of what I went through but I hide it from her. I hide all the pain I feel when I walk around here. I don't show it. She doesn't need to see my pain.

But I am starting to get scared that she is losing sight of who she is. I love this woman. I love who she is. I love the kindness she has in her. But this power she has-I am even afraid to think it but-it seems to be changing her. It is as if she is starting to rely solely on it and like it.

"I am sure," I say.

"You are lying and I don't like that. Tell me." She demands.

"It's just that you are the kind of person that throws punches, yes, but only out of anger. But when you said that to Skye...and even when you used your power on my sister, you seemed...to enjoy it. You seemed to enjoy the fear that it caused them."

"I-I don't enjoy it. But I do like the fact that I am not picked on anymore because of my power. I like that people know now not to mess with me because there will be consequences."

I truly hope that is true. I nod at her giving her the benefit of the doubt because I just might be wrong. "Okay.

I can see it your way.

Her face contorts to an expression of hurt. She gets close and softly clutches at my shirt and pulls me close. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry if that is how it came out."

"Don't apologize. It's okay." I put a finger under her chin and caress with my thumb but quickly pull away remembering that we are outside.

I hope no one saw that. "Uhm...please don't be upset.

It's okay, Cass."

It kills me to see her hurt.
