Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

“Wouldn’t it be better to eat 

in your room? I really don’t want to have to see Ezra.” 

“He won’t be there. He never 

eats at breakfast time 

downstairs. Besides, you 

can’t hide forever from him 

and as long as you are with 

me, I will not let him hurt 

you. Needless to say, don’t come downstairs by 

yourself.” 

“Yeah, you don’t have to tell 

me twice.” 

“Tell me, Bryn, why 

shouldn’t she come down 

here? And mind you, choose 

your words carefully.” He 

tells her. 

She opens her mouth but 

closes it as she considers his 

words. Irritation washes over 

her face but she stays quiet. 

“So Ezra is your mate?” Miles asks me bluntly. 

It takes me by surprise but I lowly nod. 

“Huh? Aren’t Alphas usually supposed to be mated to 

strong she–wolves? Usually 

Stepping through the dining room doors, I brace myself. 

The room is full of pack 

members and the moment 

they see us, everyone quiets 

down. 

Thankfully Ezra is nowhere to be seen here but Kaecy, Bryn, and Miles are here. 

The tension and silence are 

killer. 

“Are you serious?” Bryn asks. 

“What?” Colt asks. 

“You are bringing her down 

here?” 

“Mh…after this…we should 

take another shower 

together.” 

I roll my eyes at him. “WE just got out of the shower. I am clean enough.” 

“Not the point.” 

“I know your point. It was 

hard enough as it was. Or do you like to be tortured?” 

“No. So maybe you should 

just give in.” He gives a 

cheeky smile and wiggles his eyebrows. 

“No.“I shake my head with a 

smile. 

Betas or Alphas? I get that it happens but it is not 

common for an Alpha to be mated to an Omega.” He 

asks. 

I would take offense if he 

didn’t seem genuinely 

curious. 

“Exactly why Ezra doesn’t want her.” Bryn mutters with a satisfied grin. 

“You miss my point,” Miles says. “If she is mated to him, 

there could be a reason for 

it.” 

A reason? 

 

I had never thought about it like that. But there is nothing special about me so I don’t 

see a reason. 

“You always with your critical thinking. Always overanalyzing things.” Bryn 

mocks him. 

“Oh? Are you saying the 

goddess makes mistakes?” He 

asks. 

“Yes.” 

“Yes.” 

Bryna and I say at the same 

time. 

She looks at me and squints 

her eyes. I give her a death glare and look away. 

I think this is the only time we have ever agreed on anything. Ezra being my mate was a huge mistake on the moon goddess’s part. 

“Let’s drop it.” Kaecy says. 

“Yeah. I am tired of it.” Colt says as he puts a plate of food in front of me. “Eat, Angel.” 

“Why do you call me that?” I ask him as I take my fork and start eating. 

“Because that’s the first thing 

that came to me when we 

were in the dungeon. You were an angel sent to us. You kept us company, showed us kindness, and kept us fed when you could. You didn’t 

have to do any of that but you did. You were our little 

angel. Then again I might have been delusional…you know, no food and all.” He says and laughs and that makes me laugh too. 

I finish my food as fast as I 

can because I am tired of the 

d*rty stares that pack 

members and Bryn give me. 

When Colt is also done, we 

head out. I follow him 

outside where we meet up 

with Dash. 

“Hey, you two. The talk of 

the pack.” He says. 

I groan. “Uh! Is it that bad?” 

“Depends on which side you are hearing it from.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“The Gammas are bitter. The Omegas are mostly shocked.” He explains. 

I sigh. “Great.” 

Dash smiles. “So where are 

we going?” 

“Going?” 

Colt turns to me. “Angel, I 

have a meeting with my dad. Dash is here to keep you 

safe. Do whatever you want but stay with him. I’ll catch up with you once I am done.” 

“Really?” I ask feeling 

annoyed by this. 

“Sorry but if I ignore my 

Alpha duties, Dad will not be 

happy and we need him happy.” 

True. As long as Colt is in his favor, I get to be with him. 

“Okay but… hurry.” 

He smiles. I am sure that 

knowing I wanted him with me made him happy. 

“Can I k*ss you yet?” He asks 

before leaving. 

“No.” 

He grunts, turns around, and 

stomps away. 

It makes me giggle. He looks 

like an angry child. 

“So. Where to?” Dash asks. 

“Well, it’s either go to see my 

sister or go back to Colt’s 

room. I don’t feel like being 

out here.” 

“Oooh. I vote hot sister.” 

I laugh as we start walking to 

the house. 

“Really? You do know that 

she has a mate and is now 

pregnant.” 

“Damn. Do you have any more sisters? Cause if they are half of what you are, I am in! Hell, I’d choose you as my mate any day. Too bad Colt got to you first.” 

“What?!” I ask, laughing. 

“Yeah, don’t tell him. He’d 

kick my ass. 

I smile. He is very funny. I 

like him a lot. 

“Hey, tell me more about your time with him with the enemy.” 

He sighs. “You really want to 

know about that?” 

“Yeah. How did you guys meet?” 

“Hm…well…we met while 

being strapped to wooden 

poles and having our backs 

seared with burning whips.” 

“Okay stop…never mind. I’m 

sorry I asked.” 

“Don’t be sorry.” 

“How come…I mean…if the 

Dark Fang Pack is as feared 

and as strong as everyone 

says, how come they have 

not taken over all other 

packs yet?” 

“That is a complicated question. Right now…packs are divided. They only gather for parties and 

statuses but they are not quick to form alliances. This is mostly because they are afraid to be targeted by the Dark Fang pack but if 

pushed enough, they will do 

exactly that. Form alliances. 

The dark Fang pack knows 

this so they take their time 

and take things slow. They are conniving, have patience, and overall are very 

deceptive. But…let’s not talk about that anymore. So, how about those sisters of yours, 

huh? 

I laugh. “I only have one. 

The mated and pregnanat 

one.” 

“Aw dang it!” 

All I do is laugh on my way 

home because of him. He is a 

breath of fresh air to me. 

As I come up to the house, Lauren immediately comes out. “So! What happened?!” 

“Huh?” 

“Yesterday! Colt sent word that you’d be staying with him but I am itching to know what happened after 

you were chased by Ezra from here.” 

“Ooh. Juicy gossip. I am all 

for it.” Dash mutters. 

We all go inside and I tell them what happened with the fight. 

“I am glad that Colt is protecting you. He and the 

Alpha are the strongest in 

the pack.” Lauren says. 

“So…Miss…Curl’s sister. Do 

you have any sisters, or friends that might be single?” 

“DASH! Really!?” 

He starts laughing. “You can’t 

blame me! This pack has 

very beautiful women.‘ 

Lauren laughs and I just 

shake my head. 

After spending a good 

amount of time there, Dasha 

and I head out. 

“So since now you are living in the pack house, do I get to come visit you?” Lauren asks 

as she sees us out. 

I am not able to respond to her because Dash interrupts 

1. us. 

“Stay back, Cass.” Dash suddenly says when we step 

out. 

“What? Why?” As I ask this, I 

see why he says what he says. 

Ezra walks in our direction 

with Kaecy behind him 

trying to reason with him. 

“Cass.” Ezra calls for me. 

I stay in front of the door 

with Lauren behind me 

ready to shut the door if 

need be. 

“Cass. Let me talk to you.” He 

says. 

“Stay away from her.” Dash growls but Ezra ignores him. 

Kaecy lightly touches Ezra’s 

shoulder. “Ezra, let her be. 

Give it time.” 

“Time? Time for Colt to 

sweep her off her feet?!” Ezra 

shouts. 

Too late. He already did. 

Dash stands in front of me 

with his arms crossed in an 

imposing stance. 

“Cass…let me talk, please.” 

“Ezra, I am not stopping you from speaking but there is 

nothing that you can say that will change anything. What do you want from me at this point?” 

This time, instead of getting angry and trying to take me by force, he falls to his knees looking defeated. 

“I feel…like I’m dying.” He 

mutters. 

“Then…accept the rejection. 

Eventually, the pain will go 

away.” 

He is silent for a few seconds 

until he slowly shakes his 

head and whispers. “I can’t.” 

With that, I step aside and 

walk away. 

Part of me does feel bad but 

it is that part of me that cares 

too much about others, even 

when they don’t deserve it.
