Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 

“Found this vagabond sniffing around our borders last night,” Warrick says. 

Ezra looks up but his eyes 

are swollen shut. He has 

been beaten up and his face is almost unrecognizable. He is barely conscious. 

“W…what does this have to 

do with me?” 

“You tell me?” 

I shake my head. “I don’t 

know this man.” 

“Okay, so that means he can 

die instead of the brat?” 

“Why does anyone have to 

die?!” I shout. 

“Just how things are here.” 

“No one has to die just 

because I can’t use my power when you want me to. It’s 

something I have only done 

once or twice. I need time. I’ll get it.” 

I quickly glimpse at Colt who is tense. I can see him trying to act normal but I know 

him now. He is on the edge and he might just do 

something about this. 

Warrick paces in front of me. “One thing you have to learn, Casseopea, is that I don’t have patience.” He says. “But I do have a knack for 

getting results from my 

methods.” He looks at the 

guard that holds Ezra. “Kill 

him.” 

I 

gasp. “DON’T YOU DARE!” I growl out when the guard takes out a dagger but just as he takes it out, he lets it go. 

“How…” Warrick mumbles 

and stares at me with wonder 

and confusion at first but 

then straightens up and 

composes himself. “Congratulations. You’ve saved your mate.” 

I glare at him with shock. “You…you knew?” 

“Of course. He told us 

everything and I was 

surprised by all that I 

learned last night. You lied to 

1. me. You said you didn’t have 

a mate.” 

“I didn’t…lie. He was not a 

mate to me. and I was never 

marked.” 

“Mh…yet you save him. 

“He doesn’t deserve death for 

not wanting me!” 

“He came all this way 

looking for you. I am sure that he wants you now.” 

I look at Ezra and I still feel 

nothing for him other than 

pity now. 

“He can’t talk now but he had 

a lot to say last night. On that 

note…” Warrick looks at 

Colt.” 

“Alexis, to think that I had 

my enemy’s son right under my nose all this time just like they had my daughter under 

their nose. It makes me feel 

dumb and I don’t like it.” 

Oh no. Ezra! What did you 

do?! 

“I…I am here. I came to be 

with you.” Colt says trying to 

convince him. “I-” 

Warrick puts a hand up. 

“Because you were 

commanded to. We’ll have a 

deeper talk later. Just like I 

had with your brother.” 

“I knew he was scum,” Beck 

mutters with a mocking 

smile. 

I am panicked. He is going to 

torture Colt. What do I do? 

This is bad. Why the hell did 

Ezra have to go crazy now?! He…he’s going to kill them 

both… isn’t he? 

“Mh, this day has turned out 

to be fun.” Warrick mutters 

and then suddenly, the kid 

next to him is dead with just a swing of the dagger in his 

hand. 

“No…you said… no one had to die!” 

“I lied. I was going to kill him either way.” Warrick says as if it was nothing. 

My eyes flicker watching the 

young man on the floor 

bleed out, his eyes still 

opened. 

“You…you…AAH!” 

Without thinking, I pick up the dagger that the guard dropped on the floor and throw myself at Warrick. He immediately holds my hand 

as I wrestle to plunge it into 

his heart. No one in the 

room moves a muscle to try and stop me but they do 

look shocked. 

Warrick laughs. “Haha! 

There’s that fire! You are 

definitely your mother’s 

daughter!” He says with excitement. “But enough.” He 

twists my arm. I have to let the dagger go as he almost breaks my wrist and then he slaps me. I fall back and immediately a guard holds 

1. me. 

Behind me, I can hear Colt growl. Victor and a guard 

hold him down. 

“Don’t touch her! Colt 

shouts. 

“Aww, she is all you care 

about, isn’t she?.” Warrick sits 

on top of his desk with a 

smile and looks at me. “So let 

me get this straight. You are sleeping with your mate’s 

brother? The man who 

brought you to me. The man 

I ordered to bring you to 

me.” 

I am confused as he says this. 

“The man I ordered to woo 

you so that you had 

something to keep you here.” 

“It’s not like that Cass!” Colt 

shouts. 

“You…you lied…” I say as my eyes find Colt’s. 

“I…no. I love you! I do!” He 

sounds desperate. “He did 

order me to- to romance you 

but that was when I came 

back. I already had feelings for you. I love you, Cass!” 

“But…you…were ordered to bring me here?” 

“I…I’m sorry. My orders for these three years were to find you, his daughter. Once I 

did…I didn’t want to bring 

you back and I never 

intended to. Since I was so far away from him, the 

command didn’t seem to 

work well. But once we got 

caught, once we were so near 

him…I had no choice.” 

“Ahh, yes…one of the 

downsides of our power. 

Prolonged distance.” Warrick 

mutters. 

Colt continues. “Cass, I swear! It was never my real intention to bring you here. 

“But you did. “Warrick says. “I spent years believing that you–my daughter- were still alive even if your mother wasn’t. Alexis…Colt, spent three years searching for you under my orders. 

And do you know what the funny part was? I didn’t 

know who he really was until 

now.” Warrick laughs. 

He motions to the guards holding me to let me go. It feels like all my strength has left me. 

“So…you all lied to me right from the beginning?” I ask. 

“It was quite easy really. You are such a naive little thing. So pure. Even fell for Alexis’s 

sweet talk.” 

“No! That was real!” Colt 

shouts. “Cass! That was real! 

Please believe me!” 

I feel so betrayed. 

Everything was a lie but I feel even more stupid 

because I still believe Colt 

now. I know it was real. I 

know it. I can feel his 

emotions even now but I am 

angry. He lied. He could 

have told me all of this a 

long time ago and I would have played along. I would have helped in any way. 

I look at Warrick and I feel 

much more anger now. This man is trying to ruin me. He is trying to take what little I have left in me to fight. But I am not letting that go. I am going to cling to it until the 

day I die. 

“Garret, take Alexis…wait, I 

keep calling him that. 

Take…Colt to the black 

room.” 

Garret nods and proceeds to 

take Colt away. 

“Cass! Cass!” Colt shouts as 

he is dragged out of the 

room. 

I can’t look at him right now but I force myself because I 

care for this man and I don’t 

know what is going to happen to him. 

“Don’t give up on me, Cass! I 

love you! I really do!” 

I give him a nod even though I am angry at him 

but this seems to relieve him 

just a bit. 

“As for this one, take him to 

one of the doctors before he 

dies.” Warrick motions to Ezra. “He is still my 

daughter’s true mate and not 

to mention, a bargaining chip against my enemies.” 

Bargaining… 

“And so is Colt!” I quickly say. 

“So is Colt…it would be 

stupid to kill him.” 

Warrick smiles. “Oh, I know.” 

I almost feel relieved because 

I am sure he is not going to just kill him but…I am afraid of what he is going to do to 

him. 

“I’d be more concerned with yourself, daughter. You tried to kill me. You wouldn’t be 

the first one who wanted me 

dead. I am sure everyone in this room wishes my demise one way or another. But you are the only one who has had the balls to try it. I am 

impressed but, that is not 

going to save you from 

punishment.” 

I get my composure back. I 

am done trying to act 

obedient. I am not afraid of 

this man anymore, I am 

angry. 

“You are horrible. A monster and I am ashamed to be your daughter! I wish I had never 

known!” I scream. 

He entangles his hands in my hair and lifts my head up but doesn’t pull. 

“I am going to break you. 

You will learn to follow in 

line.” 

I give him a defiant smile. 

“You can try. Give it your 

best shot.” 

All my life I have been punished for just existing. There is nothing that I can’t 

take. 

His smile falls and looks just 

a bit worried for once. 

“Victor, take her to the stage.” He says. “Treat her just like every other who has been 

punished there.” 

Victor nods and with one of 

the guards, he lifts me up 

and takes me out.
