Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 

“Are you…okay?” 

“I…hmh…no!” I throw up everything that I have eaten in the last couple of hours.” 

“I told you! You should not have come to see the b*dy.” Colt says. 

“You were right. I shouldn’t 

have.” 

Before leaving the room, I 

glance back one more time. 

Two bodies lie next to each 

other. Men I have seen 

around the house doing 

rounds and now they are 

dead. 

Who is killing them, and why? 

“Come on. You shouldn’t 

have to see this.” Colt rubs 

my back and leads us out. 

Back in the war room, we are 

all gathered here now. 

“We know it for a fact. Ezra is 

meeting with other packs 

and looking to make 

alliances. And to top it off, 

we have confirmation that 

Oliver is with him.” 

Archie–the beta—says. 

“We suspected that but how 

do you know all of this for 

sure?” 

He nods. “We have people inside helping us. Feeding us information.” 

“Mh…and what can we make 

about these killings? Are these…random killings?” 

“We don’t know yet. But we 

do know that it was done 

with the same weapon.” 

“Same weapon? So it must be the same person then.” 

“Yes, we believe so.” 

 

“Is it Ezra?” I ask. 

“We don’t know.” 

“If so, that means that he 

would have infiltrated the 

pack and by him, I mean one 

of his men.” 

“Which is not farfetched 

since assassins have been 

running amock around our pack already.” 

“True, but I am not sure it is 

Ezra. Why would he want to kill these men? They were guards, and I am not trying to belittle them, I am just saying that killing these men 

 

seems senseless.” Colt says. 

Victor–who had been just listening–nods. “Agree.” 

“Then what the hell is going 

on?” I ask. 

“We have a murderer among 

us.” 

Great, as if we don’t have 

enough complications 

already. 

“So what do we do?” 

“Place more guards around 

the house. These murders 

seem to be concentrated on 

the main house.” Archie says. 

“I’ll continue investigating.” 

“Yes. Keep doing that. In the meantime, everyone be careful.” I say. 

They all nod. 

“Now, how is Rodrick doing with Oliver’s pack?” 

“He already sent a report. 

The pack is secured and 

under control.” 

“Good. And the river packs?” 

“All good as well but we might want to have one of 

our generals there.” Vitor 

says. 

I ponder this for a moment. 

“I don’t think that would be 

such a good idea.” Garret says. “I get that you want to have someone strong at the forefront. The river packs are the only thing between this pack and Ezra’s. So if they are attacked, they’d be 

the first ones to fall and the 

general stationed there with 

it.” 

Exactly what I was thinking. 

“Send…Crow.” I say. 

“Crow!” They all ask with 

shock and confusion. “He is a 

rogue!” 

“A rogue that has been 

working for us.” I remind 

them. 

“Because he fears your 

father.” Beck says. 

“I am not so sure about that. 

He told you of where I was, 

did he not?” 

They all look at each other. 

“Look, before here, I had 

never heard of rogues 

working for a pack and they 

did not seem to be under the 

influence of my father’s 

power. Why is that?” 

“Warrick…knew he didn’t 

have to.” Archie says. 

“And why is that?” 

“Well…his words were that a 

well–fed dog will not bite the 

hand that feeds him.” 

I nod. “So, we keep the agreement with them but 

also reward them for what 

they have done.” 

“Reward them? If we are 

attacked, they’d be the first to fall. Hardly a reward.” 

“They don’t know that.” I tell them. “The river packs will 

either fall or not. It is one or 

the other. So do you really 

want to sacrifice our own 

good men knowing this?” 

“Can you sacrifice even 

them?” Colt asks. 

I look down. He knows me 

so well. I did come up with 

this idea but the more I 

think about it, the harder it is 

to do. 

“I can’t. So…we explain it to 

them. We tell them the truth. 

Rogues–despite their bad 

reputation–can be 

fearless…or idiots but will 

render the same results.” 

“And if they refuse?” Garret 

asks. 

“Then we’ll think of 

something else.” 

“Very well. I’ll send notice to 

them now.” Victor says, 

leaving the room. 

“Let’s meet up again when 

we have heard from them.” 

Everyone is dismissed. 

“How is your stomach feeling?” Colt asks. 

“My stomach?!” I panic. 

“Yeah…you threw 

up earlier.” 

“Oh…much better.‘ 

“Cass, there you are. Come.” Kanda appears from out of nowhere and grabs my hand. 

“What are you doing?” 

“I want to speak to you.” She looks at Colt. “Only girls. No boys allowed.” 

Colt’s eyebrow shoots up. 

“Is it boy talk?” I ask, 

laughing. 

“Uhm… yeah. Boy talk.” 

I give Colt a smile and wink at him before turning the 

corner and leaving him 

 

smiling. 

“Is this about my brothers?” 

“Why? Have they said anything?” She asks. 

I laugh. “Not at the moment.‘ 

“Oh. But no. I lied. It’s about 

you.” SHe says. 

“Me?” 

“Yeah.” 

Within minutes, we are at 

the pack doctor. 

“Here she is doctor. Check 

her.” 

“Check me?” 

“Just because you are keeping it a secret does not mean that you shouldn’t be taking care of yourself. I told 

the doctor of the situation 

and told him that I’d kill him if he said anything.” 

“Kanda?!” 

She waves her hands and 

leaves, closing the door 

behind her. 

The doctor gives me a frazzled stare. “If it is your 

wish that it is kept a secret, then so it shall, Alpha. But the scary lady is right. It is 

best to make sure that 

 

everything is going good.” 

“Alright.” I give in. I know 

they are right. 

“Good. We’ll do an internal 

sonogram and-” 

“No. I don’t want to do that 

without Colt.” 

“Very well. We can just do a check–up without a 

sonogram.” 

I nod, relieved. “Okay. 

He takes blood and then I 

pee in a cup–obviously not 

in front of him. 

He then puts a device on my 

stomach. 

“What is this?” 

“A fetalscope. It is a specialized stethoscope used 

to hear the heartbeat of a 

fetus.” He explains. 

“Oh.” 

He puts the end of the device in his ears and stays silent for a few seconds. 

“It is very early in the 

pregnancy so it is hard to 

hear it but, you can still hear 

1. it. Here.” 

He puts the device on my 

ears. 

“The loud heartbeat is yours. 

Ignore that one and try to 

listen in between them.” 

I stay quiet, concentrating 

until I do hear it. 

It is so subtle but it is there. 

I almost can’t believe it. It is 

hard to believe in something when you don’t see it but it is there. There is a tiny little being inside of me. It is 

surreal. 

“Our little Alpha is growing. 

The early stages are crucial 

so please don’t exert

yourself.” 

I nod. “How far along do you 

think I am?” 

“It is hard to determine 

without having a look but I would say around twelve 

weeks, give or take. Your 

morning sickens should 

improve soon.” 

“That’s great news.” I am 

excited about that. 

“You know, you won’t be able to hide it soon.” He says. “I give it a week or two till pack 

members can tell. Your scent 

will start changing soon and 

the fetal heartbeat will only get stronger, strong enough that it will be heard by others in the pack.” 

I suck in a deep breath. I 

need to tell Colt. But I also 

need to make a decision 

about what to do with my powers. Honora has done this before but never on a 

pregnant woman. She 

doesn’t know if it will affect 

the baby but even she says 

that she doesn’t believe it 

will. I need to think hard 

about this. 

I head back to the dining 

room, looking for Colt. As I pass through the hall with windows, I notice in the distance that the reforming 

camp is gone. I can’t see the wooden structures that were 

there before. 

Victor did as I asked. It 

brings a smile to my face. 

“What are you so happy about?” Colt appears behind 

1. me. 

“That.” I point out of the 

window. 

He almost gasps. “It’s gone?”
