Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 42

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 

1. 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. 

The early afternoon, I spend it with Garret closely paying 

attention to what he has to 

say. Mid–afternoon I spend it vexing my father. 

“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 leads

me 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 k*ss.
