Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 

Ezra gets near to the window 

which Colt starts to close. 

“Don’t go, Cass! Just wait! 

Let’s talk about this!” 

“Go,” the Alpha says to Colt 

as he tries to hold Ezra back. 

“Go!” Colt says to the driver. 

Dash sits in the front, next to 

the driver. “Go! Now!” 

“Cass!” Ezra shouts. 

“Accept the rejection, Ezra! 

Let’s be done with this!” I 

shout before the car starts to 

move. 

There is desperation in his eyes but I feel no sympathy. Maybe a few years ago I 

would have, but not 

anymore. 

Colt closes the window and 

we start driving. 

“Are you okay?” Colt asks. 

“Yeah. I’m fine,” I say but I 

stay quiet. 

Dash turns around and looks 

at me. “Curls, he’s a prick. 

That man didn’t care until 

someone else was interested in you. Otherwise, he would 

have continued doing the same thing.” 

I know he is right. I am trying my hardest not to feel 

bad for the guy. And I will 

choose not to. 

“How long will it take us to get where we are going?” 

“About an hour,” Colt says. 

He rubs my back. 

“How are those wounds?” 

“Oh, I forgot about them. 

They are not hurting.” 

“Let me see.” 

I turn around for him. He 

lifts my shirt and takes the 

gausses off. 

“They are already almost 

gone,” he says. 

“Good,” I mutter but he doesn’t take his hand away. 

Instead, he slowly moves his hand up my back. It is a gentle touch, warm and delicate. It feels good. 

I close my eyes, feeling the 

nice sensation. 

“So many scars…” He 

whispers. 

I give a hesitant pause. 

“Mh, I was a…wild child, according to your mother.” 

He takes in a deep breath as if he is readying himself for something. “Did any of these 

where because of me?” He 

asks. 

I don’t want to hurt him, but I am not going to lie. “Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to, Colt.” 

He knows that that answer 

means yes. He closes his eyes 

and nods. 

He suddenly gets close and whispers in my ear. “Well, I 

am going to love you until I can melt those scars away.” 

My head turns and I stare at him. The intensity in his eyes makes my chest 

squeeze with emotions that 

are unknown to me. 

His hand goes to my face 

and he caresses me gently. 

“Your skin is perfect either way but I am going to love you until you forget you have these at all.” He 

whispers with his callous but 

soft hand now possessively on my thigh. 

“Goddamn! I can touch the 

tension! You are not alone 

here you know!” Dash 

shouts. 

Feeling embarrassed, I 

quickly straighten up and properly sit. 

Colt grunts. “You are starting to get on my nerves, Dash.” 

“It’s about time. I get on everyone’s nerves.” He turns 

back around to look at Colt 

and mutters, “I am surprised 

you lasted this long.” 

“You were always annoying, Dash. I just ignored you.” 

“Godamn. For nine years?” 

Dash says and then mutters. 

“You have the patience of a 

saint then.” 

“Mh…” Colt turns back to me 

giving me his attention 

again. His hand lands on my knee, pulling me close to him. His large frame leans 

into me. His other hand 

holds my chin and pulls me to him, locking his l*ps with mine. A fiery k*ss that 

screams desperation and longing. 

He pulls back enough for me 

to be aware of his hand 

which has traveled up my 

thigh. He takes in a breath 

sucking it in through his 

teeth. 

“I’ve been wanting to k*ss you for days and you 

wouldn’t let me.” He 

breathlessly whispers. 

“You know why.” I remind 

him also in a whisper. 

“Yeah. But we are away from 

him now. I want you.” His 

hand caresses my outer 

thigh, threatening to go up 

further. 

“Yes but…” 

One of his brows 

immediately lifts. “But?” 

“I’m here, dumbass! We are here!” Dash shouts looking 

back. 

That was exactly what I was about to say. It’s like Colt 

forgot that we were not 

alone. 

“For goddess sake! I will stop 

this car, run out, and never 

come back!” Dash says. 

I giggle. 

Colt takes a deep breath through his nostrils as if they 

were flaring and then moves back but keeps his hand on 

my shoulder, pulling me to 

lean on his chest. 

I love how he shows me how 

much he wants me but at the 

same time, it still scares me a 

little. I thought I was done feeling like this but I guess I am not. And also, now that 

we are away from all that drama with Ezra, I 

remember something he 

told me before. 

I slowly pull away from him. I cross my legs and look out the window as I clear my 

throat. 

“So, what were those things 

 

you had to tell me?” I ask. 

“Mh?” He looks at me with confusion. “What things?” 

“You had told me that there 

were things that you needed 

to tell me. That was back in 

that weird animal room. Things about me? 

Remember?” 

Immediately he realizes 

what I am talking about. 

“Oh. Yes. But not yet.” 

“Not yet? Why?” 

“For one, we are not alone 

here.” 

“Oh, now you want to be 

mindful.” Dash mocks as his 

head shoots back to us. 

“Shut up.” Colt’s face scrunches up and he narrows his eyes at Dash. 

Dash turns back around 

muttering under his breath. 

“Okay, so then when?” I ask. 

“How about we get to the city 

and then we’ll figure that 

out.” 

I sigh. “Alright.” 

Throughout the rest of the 

ride, we all make small talk 

until finally, we arrive at the 

city. 

“Wow. They are even taller 

than how they show on TV.” I say looking at the tall buildings. 

“Do you see the tallest one over there?” Colt points to a building that stands taller than all the others. “That’s where we are staying.” 

After a few minutes of traffic, 

we stop right in front of it. 

Colt gets out and holds a 

hand to me. I take it and he 

takes me inside. It is the 

fanciest place I have ever 

seen in my life. 

“We are staying here?” I whisper to Colt. 

He smiles. “Yes.” 

A pack member, whom I recognize, walks over to us 

from the front desks where 

there are lines of people 

waiting to be tended to. 

“Alpha, the rooms are all 

taken care of. Here are the 

keys.” He says handing Colt a 

few white cards. 

“Thank you.” He looks at me. 

“Come on.” 

He leads me to the left of the 

building where we go inside an elevator. I walk in but my b*dy is stiff. 

‘Are you okay?” Colt asks while Dash starts laughing at 

1. me. 

“I’ve never rode one of 

these,” I say. 

The thing starts moving and I feel like I am going to fall. I 

hold onto Colt with both 

hands while my knees start to bend as they feel weak. 

Colt holds me close, so I don’t fall while they now 

both laugh though I do not 

find it so amusing. 

When the elevator stops, I 

hurry on out. 

“Here we are.” Dash says. 

“We have the whole floor.” 

“The whole floor? All these 

rooms?” 

“Yes. Many of the rooms will be used by the pack members and the empty ones will remain empty. Colt is an Alpha and soon will be the Alpha of a pack. He has to be protected at all costs.” 

“It’s like…mafia bosses,” I say. 

“What does your pretty little 

head know about the mafia?” 

Dash asks, looking amused. 

“Only what I have seen on 

TV.” 

They both laugh. 

“Laugh it up all you want but 

I am sure it’s not 

far–fetched.” 

“Okay okay. Colt says. He looks at Dash. “I’ll send you a text when we are ready to 

leave,” Colt says to Dash. 

Dash turns around and 

waves. “Alright, but let me nap a bit first.” 

Colt takes my hand and 

walks us to the end of the 

hall where he opens a door 

revealing a huge room. 

“Geez,” I whisper. 

It is an open living room with a glimmering 

chandelier in the middle. 

The floors are white marble 

and the walls are white too. 

The fancy–looking sofas are 

a cream color and there is gold color stuff around the 

room to accentuate it. At the 

end of the room, the wall is a 

giant window that overlooks 

the city. There is a fancy 

“Oh…wow. But I thought the 

city was not part of our 

territory.” 

“It’s not. The city is a free 

area. It is unclaimable 

territory. So many packs can 

own buildings next to each 

other.” 

“Even the Dark Fang Pack?” I 

ask. 

He gives me a serious look. “Yes. Even them and they do own some buildings around here. But most packs come 

here for business only. So don’t worry.” 

I stand in front of the 

window looking out at the city. It is amazing how 

different it can look when 

you are looking at it from 

above. 

“Is that why you are here
