Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 78

"Will this work?" Miles asks.

"I have no idea. I hope so."

I look into Bryn's eyes and she looks into mine with hope and expectation.

I focus, trying to reach the power inside of me. "Bryn, you may speak again." I recite.

She takes in a deep breath and opens her mouth. "I..hate you."

"You did it!" Dash cheers.

"Ah!" Bryn screams as she jumps with excitement.

That was a lot easier to do.

Flook back at Honora with a smile. "It worked!"

She smiles back and nods.

"As it should."

I am so happy that this is not something I have to worry about anymore.

"Now let's take care of that baby. Here, drink this tea." She says handing

me a tea cup.

"Tea? What is it for?" I ask as I take it.

I never really liked tea even though I have had it with Lotus and Poppy but just out of courtesy.

"It is Rooibos tea. It's full of antioxidants and naturally free of caffeine.

It's good for the baby."

Kanda nods. "Yes, Rooibas tea is very good for pregnancies." Yuck...

I sigh and start slowly sipping the tea.

When Honora walks out of the parlor, Lotus takes the teacup from my hand and smells it. She then takes a sip.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. Tastes like normal Rooibos tea."

"Why would you think differently?"

"She is good at making potions so just making sure she didn't pi something extra that might be bad for werewolves and she might not know about it." She looks towards the door Honora left and mutters. "I should probably go tell her about some of the plants that could harm our kind just in case."

I narrow my eyes at her. "Are you all going to be fussing like this the whole time?"

She laughs and walks away. "Maybe."

"Hey, you!" I hear Bryn behind me.

"I can't believe that you did that to me! You are horrible!" She continues talking and I am already sick of it.

"Bryn...quiet."

She stops her yapping unable to talk again.

Her eyes widen and they water.

"I am not asking you to bend over backward, just, leave me alone. Live your life and don't bother me or I promise you, you will never talk again. You can speak again."

"I...fine..." She says and sprints out of the room.

"Mhm. You are way scarier now." Dash says.

"I am?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry. I am not going to abuse this power."

"Good. Then you'll be a good one."

I smile and nod.

My eyes fall to Colt who quietly sits on the sofa watching me. He doesn't speak to me unless there is something to be said. Has been like this all day.

I feel frustrated but I don't say anything. I leave him alone like he wanted.

He follows me to the war room for our meeting.

"It is confirmed that they have not had their meeting with these other packs just yet. But something is up. My contacts tell me that Oliver has been having secret meetings with Ezra. So they have not been able to get any more information on their plan." "I see. Have we contacted these other packs?" I ask.

"Of course. We've contacted the major packs that surround all of us.

Most of them are very weary. They don't know who to believe and many of them don't want to deal with us."

"Thaks to our reputation..." I mutter.

"Maybe we could host our own meeting?" Colt speaks.

"If we did this, we'd have to be careful. Many of these packs are already on Ezra's side just because they don't like us." Garret says.

"Then we should. Let's at least try."

"Alright. It will take me a day or two to make a plan." Victor says.

I look at Archie now. "Anything new about the murders?"

"I have narrowed my suspicions to a few suspects. I need you to use your power on them now that you have it."

"Alright. Let's do it."

"Let's start with someone who is right here, right this moment."

"Someone here?" I am surprised and so is everyone else.

He nods and looks at Kanda. "You."

"Me?!" Kanda is surprised and so am I.

"Why her?" I ask.

"Murders started after you all came back. It's not personal, but because of this, I can't just rule her out. I have to look at every angle."

"Well...you are right." Kanda says, surprising us again. She looks at me.

"Do it."

Without hesitating, I nod and stare into her eyes. “Alright. Kanda, did you murder those men?"

"No." She quickly says.

"Did

you have anything to do with it?"

"No." She says again.

"There. She is innocent."

Archie nods. "Very well. I" bring you the others."

Kanda gives me a big smile lifting her two thumbs up.

Archie eventually brings all his suspects but they all come out clean.

"Back to square one." Archie says disappointed. "In the meantime, no one should walk alone. Always have someone with you."

I head up to see Warrick and update him on everything but he won't even listen to anything that does not concern the pregnancy. He seems much more excited than anyone else, even me.

"You old dump truck a*s is going to be a grandpa." I playfully tell him.

He laughs. "Call me whatever the hell you want, it won't diminish my spirit! I had lost hope with Victor and Garret. Those two have not found their mates yet."

"I never knew how much you wanted to be a grandpa."

"Of course I did! To see my line continue..it's all I always wanted, power or not."

I smile. "Well, you need to get better if you want to see this little one grow. So hurry up!"

"I'll be doing somersaults by the time this one is born."

"Can't wait to see that then." I kiss his head and leave him to rest.

The doctor told me that he is getting better. It will still be slow but there is improvement.

Colt and I have dinner in our room. He is quiet most of the time but I find myself wanting him close. I want his touch, his warmth. As we watch TV, I steal glances in his direction. I also look at my clock. There is somewhere I need to be soon and I don't want to miss it Suddenly, Colt wraps his arms around me.

It surprises me. "Are you-"

"No." He quickly says.

"..okay."

He sighs. "I am not trying to give you the silent treatment. I am just not ready yet but I can feel you want a hug."

"You do?"

"Yeah. You are my mate."

"Yes, I am. Now come with me." I take his hand and lead him out.

"Where are we going?"

Quitely I lead him to the Doctor's office.

"Why are we here?" Colt asks.

"I made an appointment. We are going to see our bean."

"We..are?"

"Right this way Alpha. Our nurse sonographer is ready for you." The doctor says.

Within a few minutes, we are staring at the black screen with a tiny thing in the middle.

"I guess it is much bigger than a bean now." I mutter.

Colt is silent but does not unglue his eyes from the monitor.

"There. You can see the heart beating." The doctor points to an area that thumps up and down.

"It's...kicking..." Colt says as we watch a little leg go up and down.

It is strange to see that. I don't feel anything.

"A little dancer." I mutter.

"Does...does anything look strange to you?" I ask the doctor.

I am thinking back to when I was born.

"No. Everything looks excellent."

I feel relieved.

I feel Colt hold my hand as he continues to stare at the screen in awe.

"And we can't check the sex yet?"

"Right now this is all we can see, it is hard to see when it's this early."

The nurse says.

"Okay."

I walk out of the office feeling elated. I turn to Colt who-with no surprise to me-has been quiet.

He walks next to me looking into the distance.

"C-Colt?"

Finally, he looks at me and to my surprise, smiles.

"It was kicking." He says.

My mouth also curves in a smile. "Yes. It was."

"I... can't believe we are going to be parents."

"I know. It seems surreal."

He nods, agreeing.

After walking in silence, he speaks again. "We need to end this."

"End what?"

"This mess with Ezra. I want to just focus on you...us." He moves close.

"I don't want to have to worry about Ezra anymore."

"That would be great. I am tired of it too."

"Mh..." He nods. "Come, let me pamper you."

"Pamper me?"

"Yeah. I am doing this every night before bed. You are carrying our child and deserve it."

He takes me to the bathroom and runs me a warm bath. I take my clothes off and get in. He does the same and sits behind me where he massages my shoulders and back. It feels so good and didn't know how much I needed it. After the warm relaxing bath, we lie in bed.

"So...are you...not angry at me anymore?"

"No. But don't do something like that again. I am your mate and you know you can trust me with anything. I am here for you no matter what."

"Okay, and you are right. You are my mate, I know I can trust you with anything."

We finally both are able to get a peaceful sleep until we are woken up by a knock on the door.

"Yeah?!" Colt asks.

"Alpha, Victor, and Garret wish to speak. They say it is urgent." It is Serge speaking.

"Very well." I say but can't seem to get up. I am so comfortable.

I close my eyes taking Colt's scent in when he suddenly asks a weird unrelated question.

"Uhm...we can still have sex, right?" He suddenly asks.

My eyes pop open. "What do you mean?"

"I mean...even if you are pregnant."

"Oh. Yeah. We can."

"That's a relief." He says and we both laugh.

"Can't live without it, huh?"

"I'm sure I could but I choose not to. I mean, I have two hands but you feel so much better." He growls in my ear.

"Then maybe later we can take a little break and you can tell me how much better I feel while you are inside me."

He closes his eyes and moans. "Mh."

Laughing, I get up and get ready. We both do. We walk downstairs ready to see Victor and Garret. I am surprised to see people rushing about and looking a bit lost.

"What is happening?"

"That's a good question." Colt mutters.

As we walk downstairs, Victor rushes to us.

"Cass!"

"What is it? What is all this commotion about?"

"You are not going to believe it!"

"Tell me!"

"Alphas of neighboring packs are lining up outside. They have arrived for a meeting.

"What?! Why didn't You tell me they were coming already?!"

"Because I didn't know!"

"What do you mean? Didn't you say you were going to prepare a plan for a meeting?"

"Yes, but I have not even finished it!"

"Then...why?"

He shakes his head. "I don't know.
