Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

“What do you mean?” I ask 

him as we walk towards the 

field. 

“I know I told you that you didn’t have to stay with me 

but now I think that you 

should,” Colt says. 

“No. Why?” As we walk 

towards Lauren, people 

around us stare. I am sure 

gossip has started. 

“Because Cass…when Ezra 

jumped at you in the war room, he was trying to mark 

you.” 

“What!?” 

“And I don’t think he is going 

to stop.” 

I narrow my eyes at him. “Are you just saying this to get me to stay with you?” 

“No. I am not. I am really 

concerned.” I can see it on 

his face. He is telling the 

truth. 

“What is going on?” Lauren 

asks walking up to us. 

“People are talking about you 

two.” 

I sigh. “A lot has happened.” 

“Cass, I think I have to talk to 

my dad again. Don’t go anywhere by yourself. Stay with your sister until I come 

back.” Colt says. 

“Okay, okay. Go.” I tell him. 

“I mean it, Cass.” 

I give him an irritated nod. 

He is fussing a bit too much. 

After he leaves, I tell Lauren 

everything that happened. 

“What the hell?! Now Ezra 

wants you?! What a f**king prick!” she says. 

I nod agreeing with her but 

she looks at me with 

concern. “How do you feel 

about that?” 

“I feel nothing other than anger. I told you. I have no feelings towards him. No good feelings anyway.” 

“Are you sure? He is your 

mate.” 

“I am sure, Lauren. That ship has sailed. I want nothing 

with him.” 

“And with Colt?” 

At that question, I pause. “I 

don’t know.” 

“You seem comfortable with 

him right now.” 

“I am…I think I am. I like 

him but if I am honest, I am afraid. What if he changes 

his mind, also I still don’t 

understand why is he even 

interested in me like that. He 

wasn’t before all those years 

ago.” 

“Well, he had a mate then.” 

“True…” 

As we talk, two girls 

whispering walk by us staring at me. 

“Come on. Let’s go home 

where we can talk in private. And I have some things I 

want to show you.” She says 

looking excited. 

When we get home, Lauren 

immediately gets out 

something from a bag. 

“Tada!” 

“Oh! That’s so cute! Did you 

make them?” I ask her. 

She holds small knitted baby 

booties. 

“Yes! Obviously, we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy so I made them in yellow and 

greens but look how cute 

“And what if it’s a boy?” I ask. 

“James.” She says and looks unamused. I laugh even 

harder now. 

“Yeah, I get to push the baby out and he thinks he is going 

to name it? Nope.” 

“Name what?” James asks 

walking in. 

“The baby,” I say and he 

smiles. 

“Princess and James!” He says 

with a cheer. 

“No! We have not decided on 

this!” Lauren points a finger 

at him. 

I laugh. 

He sprints toward her and 

picks her up, twirling her 

around. “We will see about 

this, boss lady!” 

I smile watching them. They are so in love. I always wanted something like they have but my own love story 

turned out to be a bit 

different. To have a loving 

mate is all a werewolf 

dreams about. My dreams 

were shattered a long time 

ago. 

They start k*ssing and I know that is my queue. I get up and go to my room where I stare at my stuff and debate whether Colt is being too 

rash. I don’t want to leave 

yet. And even more, I don’t 

want to just stay with him. 

We have had a few nice 

moments but I still don’t know the guy. 

As I am thinking this, I hear a commotion in the living 

room. I immediately come 

out and see Ezra and Kaecy. They both look out of 

breath. 

“I couldn’t stop him,” Kaecy
