Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

He stares at my l*ps. This 

makes me nervous. I feel like this is going to be a repeat of last night but we are not in a completely private place so anyone could walk in…then again, we were in the forest last night where anyone could have walked in as well. 

I need to say something to 

fill this silence and distract 

him. “So, you seemed quite irritated with your siblings back there,” I say. 

He finally looks away from 

my l*ps. 

“They know nothing of the 

world. They live in their own bubbles and act like nothing 

bad can touch them. Naive 

kids.” 

“You have been through a lot, haven’t you?” I whisper. 

Quietly, he looks up at me 

and nods. He looks so 

vulnerable right now. 

“And what you said about 

mates…” 

He looks down so I stop 

from finishing my question. 

His hands go through his 

hair and then he looks up at 

me again. 

“I told my father and 

everyone here that Skye died at the rade. But that was a lie. 

She was taken prisoner just like me.” I stay quiet as he starts to tell me what 

happened. 

“Warrick…Alpha of the Dark 

Fang Pack…” 

Warrick? That’s his name? I 

don’t think I have ever heard 

1. it. 

“He has these groups of 

women, three. They are all 

his mates. He offers them 

riches and an easy life. I can’t say if they all have been 

willing but…Skye was.” 

I hold my gasp. “Why would 

she…she left you for him? But…you two seemed so happy.” 

“I thought we were too but she only wanted me for what 

I could offer. In her own 

words, she said she didn’t 

want to be with me anymore 

because now I was a 

prisoner, I could offer her 

nothing. I was pathetic and 

had no power. I promised 

her that we would get out. 

That I had a plan but…she 

refused. She was drawn in by the power that Warren dangled in front of her. I 

know that she was also hurt 

and was not treated well but 

she never got the worst of it, I did, I shielded her from it 

all and then she threw me 

away. The mate bond…our soul connection was nothing 

to her.” 

“No…she broke the bond?” I 

am in shock as he nods. 

“Yes.” 

“I…How could she? Breaking 

the bond while you were 

officially mated could have 

killed you! Why?… How 

could she?” 

He seems to relax a little as 

he thinks. “Why? Same reason my brother betrays you, they are scum. People who don’t deserve the gift of 

a mate.” 

I feel so bad but I don’t think 

it’s the same as me and Ezra. 

It must have been worse for 

him because he was already 

mated to her. 

“Did she…reject you?” 

He closes his eyes. “She did but I was the one who didn’t 

want to accept it. Not for a 

while.” 

It was different. Ezra didn’t 

reject me because he wanted 

to torment me while Colt 

wanted to hold on to the one 

he loved. Very different. 

I feel so bad. “I…I’m so sorry, Colt…but, why are you telling me this? Why…me?” 

“Because you are different than anyone else in this damn pack.” His whole demeanor has changed. He 

looks, irritated and I am 

 

starting to think that this is really him. He is angry but he shows a different person when he is in public. I feel like we are very much alike. 

“Do you know what happens when a mate accepts the 

mark of another while 

already mated?” He asks. His jaw clenches and his fingers tighten around the glass he 

has in his hands. 

My eyes widen and I shake my head. “Is that…even possible?” 

He nods. “It is. It’s a 

temporary mark but it was 

agony for me.” 

I can’t believe someone would do that. Especially if they were already mated. I remember them together. They seemed so happy. 

He looks at his glass. 

“My soul died that day. I hate her. I hate her with all of my being for the pain she caused me. I hate them all, Cass.” He 

looks at me and shakes his 

head. “I won’t lie to you, I 

want revenge. I want them 

all dead.” 

He means every single word 

that comes out of his mouth. 

It scares me but somehow, I 

can’t blame him. 

This intensity in him scares me. I can feel the anger in 

him. But I hate the silence 

more. 

“How did you escape, Colt?” I ask also changing the subject from his mate. 

He takes his glass to his l*ps and drinks all of the content 

in it, then, takes the bottle of 

alcohol and pours more into his glass, filling it completely to the brim. 

“We didn’t. It was luck. We 

were really captured by my 

own pack. But for years, me and the boys had been 

planning of ways to get out 

and how to get back at 

Warrick. We knew it wasn’t 

going to be easy but we 

didn’t lose hope. It was all we had to keep us alive.” 

“Wait, you never tried to escape?” 

“Of course I did. Once, and it 

was when I first got 

captured.” 

“What happened?” 

“It was a group of us and it was too easy, I knew it was too easy.” He pauses with a pained expression as he re–lives the memory. “Now I know that it was on purpose. They let all new recruits—as 

they call those they freshly capture- make a run for it and when they capture them, they show them what 

is done to those that try to 

leave.” 

“What did they-” 

“They chained one of the men in the group that tried 

to escape and then…they 

dumped hot liquid silver on 

him.” 

I cover my mouth in horror. 

“He didn’t die. Lived for 

another year. They kept him 

and those like him to be used 

as an example in full display 

in the middle of the 

encampment field. They suffered horribly.” 

This Alpha is a monster. 

“This…” I don’t know what to 

say. “He’s…horrible.” 

“Mh…” He leans back on his 

chair looking past me out of 

the window and takes a sip of 

his drink. 

“He is a man with ambition 

and a man like him with the 

kind of ambition he has and 

the power that he wields, is 

the devil.” 

“What is his plan?” 

“I am guessing that he wants to take over all the packs. Be the one ruler. He is mad and 

will destroy anyone that gets in his way.” 

This scares me and he can 

see it. 

He leans in and holds my 

hand. “I will stop him. WE 

will stop him. I want this fight to end. It is about time someone put a stop to him.” 

“So you have a plan?” 

He nods. “But nothing you have to worry about now. Don’t you have more dusting to do?” 

I narrow my eyes at him and 

he smiles. It is a tender smile 

that really makes my heart 

beat faster. 

“Well…yes I do and I’d 

probably be done if you 

wouldn’t have distracted me.” 

“Ah, so I am a distraction?” 

I get up and take my duster 

from the table. “Never said it 

was in a good way.” 

I walk towards the door but 

he calls for me. 

“Cass.” 

I turn around and wait for 

him to talk. 

“There is a lot that I have to 

tell you. Things that concern you. But…I don’t think now 

is the right time. Forgive me. I will tell you when the time is right.” 

I am very surprised by this because what in the world 

could it be? What does he 

know about me that I don’t 

know? And why? How? 

He stares at me waiting for a 

reaction or an answer. 

I stay silent, searching for a response. He has confided in me today. He has told me things that he has not told 

others. So…I am going to 

choose to trust him. 

I nod. “It’s okay.” 

I turn to leave but he speaks 

again. 

“Oh, and one more thing.” 

“Yeah?” I turn back to him. 

“Be ready soon. You are 

going to be my Luna.” 

“What?!” I blurt out. 

He turns around and stares 

out the window again while enjoying his drink. “You 

heard me.” 

I stand there stunned. He’s 

not serious. He can’t be. No. 

He’s messing around. He has to be. 

“Colt…” I call for him but he 

doesn’t turn. 

“Go finish your duties, 

Angel.” He says in a soft tone 

but he continues to stare out 

the window as he finishes his 

drink. 

I shake my head and leave the room but I decide that I 

am done with this dusting crap. I don’t think anyone is going to notice if the 

curtains are dusted or not. I 

walk out to the hall and head 

to the dining room. Before going in, I peek inside and see that it is empty. I then make my way to the kitchen 

and outside where I take a huge breath of fresh air and welcome the sun on my skin. 

I felt a bit stuffed while I was 

in there. 

I see Lauren in the distance 

and walk to her. 

“Hey, where have you been?” 

She asks. 

“Uh! They had me dusting inside the pack house.” 

“Dusting? Why?” 

“Well, Colt wants to try something new with the 

Omegas and Gammas.” 

She stares at me with 

confusion. “…Colt?” 

“Yeah. Why do you look at 

me like that?” 

“Cause you do not call 

anyone on the Alpha or Beta families by their name other 

than Ezra or Bryn but it’s because you like to piss them 

off.” 

“I–I don’t do it on purpose.‘ 

“Oh yes, you do.” 

I look up, thinking and maybe she is right. It does piss Bryn off that I don’t call her Alpha like I do with Kaecy and Miles and I do enjoy it when she is pissed. 

I shrug my shoulders but she 

ignores me now looking at 

the distance past the field of crops. “What is happening there?” 

I look in the direction she 

stares and I see Dash and 

Ezra having a heated 

conversation. 

“Oh oh…” 

I look around and no one 

else has noticed them. 

Lauren and I walk closer. 

The closer we get the more
