Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 26

 

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 

b*dy. A dead and mutilated b*dy. 

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 

1. 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 

1. 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. 

The room is nice and big but 

I don’t even care about that 

at this moment. 

What have I gotten myself into? What am I supposed to 

do? 

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.
