Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 

“Will this work?” Miles asks. 

“I have no idea. I hope so. 

I look into Bryn’s eyes and 

she looks into mine with 

hope and expectation. 

I focus, trying to reach the power inside of me. “Bryn, 

you may speak again.” I 

recite. 

She takes in a deep breath and opens her mouth. “I…hate you.” 

“You did it!” Dash cheers. 

“Ah!” Bryn screams as she jumps with excitement. 

That was a lot easier to do. 

I look back at Honora with a 

smile. “It worked!” 

She smiles back and nods. 

“As it should.” 

I am so happy that this is not something I have to worry about anymore. 

“Now let’s take care of that 

baby. Here, drink this tea.” 

She says handing me a tea 

cup. 

“Tea? What is it for?” I ask as I 

take it. 

I never really liked tea even though I have had it with Lotus and Poppy but just out of courtesy. 

“It is Rooibos tea. It’s full of 

antioxidants and naturally 

free of caffeine. It’s good for the baby.” 

Kanda nods. “Yes, Rooibas tea is very good for 

pregnancies.” 

Yuck… 

I sigh and start slowly sipping the tea. 

When Honora walks out of 

the parlor, Lotus takes the 

teacup from my hand and 

smells it. She then takes a 

sip. 

“What is it?” 

“Nothing. Tastes like normal 

Rooibos tea.‘ 

“Why would you think 

differently?” 

“She is good at making potions so just making sure she didn’t put something extra that might be bad for werewolves and she might 

not know about it.” She looks 

towards the door Honora left 

and mutters. “I should 

probably go tell her about some of the plants that could harm our kind just in case.” 

I narrow my eyes at her. “Are you all going to be fussing like this the whole time?” 

She laughs and walks away. “Maybe.” 

“Hey, you!” I hear Bryn 

behind me. 

“I can’t believe that you did 

that to me! You are horrible!” 

She continues talking and I am already sick of it. 

“Bryn…quiet.” 

She stops her yapping 

unable to talk again. 

Her eyes widen and they 

water. 

“I am not asking you to bend over backward, just, leave me alone. Live your life and don’t bother me or I promise you, you will never talk again. You can speak again.” 

“I…fine…” She says and 

sprints out of the room. 

“Mhm. You are way scarier 

now.” Dash says. 

“I am?” 

“Yes.” 

“Don’t worry. I am not going to abuse this power.” 

“Good. Then you’ll be a good 

one.” 

I smile and nod. 

My eyes fall to Colt who quietly sits on the sofa watching me. He doesn’t speak to me unless there is something to be said. Has been like this all day. 

I feel frustrated but I don’t 

say anything. I leave him 

alone like he wanted. 

He follows me to the war 

room for our meeting. 

“It is confirmed that they have not had their meeting with these other packs just yet. But something is up. My 

contacts tell me that Oliver 

has been having secret meetings with Ezra. So they have not been able to get any 

more information on their 

plan.” 

“I see. Have we contacted 

these other packs?” I ask. 

“Of course. We’ve contacted 

the major packs that 

surround all of us. Most of 

them are very weary. They 

don’t know who to believe 

and many of them don’t 

want to deal with us.” 

“Thaks to our reputation…” I 

mutter. 

“Maybe we could host our own meeting?” Colt speaks. 

“If we did this, we’d have to 

be careful. Many of these packs are already on Ezra’s side just because they don’t like us.” Garret says. 

“Then we should. Let’s at 

least try.” 

“Alright. It will take me a day 

or two to make a plan.” 

Victor says. 

I look at Archie now. 

“Anything new about the murders?” 

“I have narrowed my suspicions to a few suspects. I need you to use your power on them now that you have 

it.” 

“Alright. Let’s do it.” 

“Let’s start with someone 

who is right here, right this 

moment.” 

“Someone here?” I am 

surprised and so is everyone 

else. 

He nods and looks at Kanda. 

“You.” 

“Me?!” Kanda is surprised 

and so am I. 

“Why her?” I ask. 

“Murders started after you all came back. It’s not personal, 

but because of this, I can’t 

just rule her out. I have to look at every angle.” 

“Well…you are right.” Kanda 

says, surprising us again. She looks at me. “Do it.” 

Without hesitating, I nod 

and stare into her eyes. 

“Alright. Kanda, did you 

murder those men?” 

“No.” She quickly says. 

“Did you have anything to 

do with it?” 

“No.” She says again. 

“There. She is innocent.‘” 

Archie nods. “Very well. I’ll 

bring you the others.” 

Kanda gives me a big smile lifting her two thumbs up. 

Archie eventually brings all his suspects but they all 

come out clean. 

“Back to square one.” Archie says disappointed. “In the meantime, no one should 

walk alone. Always have 

someone with you.” 

We all agree and end the meeting. I head up to see Warrick and update him on everything but he won’t even listen to anything that does not concern the pregnancy. 

He seems much more 

excited than anyone else, 

even me. 

“You old dump truck ass is going to be a grandpa.” I 

playfully tell him. 

He laughs. “Call me whatever the hell you want, it won’t 

diminish my spirit! I had lost hope with Victor and Garret. 

Those two have not found their mates yet.” 

“I never knew how much you wanted to be a grandpa.” 

“Of course I did! To see my line continue…it’s all I always wanted, power or not.” 

I smile. “Well, you need to get better if you want to see 

this little one grow. So hurry 

up!” 

“I’ll be doing somersaults by 

the time this one is born.” 

“Can’t wait to see that then.” I 

kiss his head and leave him 

to rest. 

The doctor told me that he is 

getting better. It will still be 

slow but there is 

improvement. 

Colt and I have dinner in our 

room. He is quiet most of the time but I find myself 

wanting him close. I want his 

touch, his warmth. As we 

watch TV, I steal glances in his direction. I also look at my clock. There is 

somewhere I need to be soon 

and I don’t want to miss it. 

Suddenly, Colt wraps his 

arms around me. 

It surprises me. “Are you-” 

“No.” He quickly says. 

“…okay.” 

He sighs. “I am not trying to 

give you the silent treatment. I am just not ready yet but I 

can feel you want a hug.” 

“You do?” 

וו 

“Yeah. You are my mate.” 

“Yes, I am. Now come with 

me.” I take his hand and lead 

him out. 

“Where are we going?” 

Quitely I lead him to the 

Doctor’s office. 

“Why are we here?” Colt asks. 

“I made an appointment. We are going to see our bean.” 

“We…are?” 

“Right this way Alpha. Our nurse sonographer is ready 

for you.” The doctor says. 

Within a few minutes, we are 

staring at the black screen 

with a tiny thing in the 

middle. 

“I guess it is much bigger 

than a bean now.” I mutter. 

Colt is silent but does not 

unglue his eyes from the 

monitor. 

“There. You can see the heart 

beating.” The doctor points to an area that thumps up 

and down. 

“It’s…kicking…” Colt says as we watch a little leg go up 

and down. 

It is strange to see that. I 

don’t feel anything. 

“A little dancer.” I mutter. 

“Does…does anything look 

strange to you?” I ask the doctor. 

I am thinking back to when I 

was born. 

“No. Everything looks 

excellent.” 

I feel relieved. 

I feel Colt hold my hand as 

he continues to stare at the 

screen in awe. 

“And we can’t check the s*x 

yet?” 

“Right now this is all we can 

see, it is hard to see when it’s 

this early.” The nurse says. 

“Okay.” 

I walk out of the office 

feeling elated. I turn to Colt who–with no surprise to me–has been quiet. 

He walks next to me looking 

into the distance. 

“C–Colt?” 

Finally, he looks at me and 

to my surprise, smiles. 

“It was kicking.” He says. 

My mouth also curves in a 

smile. “Yes. It was.” 

“I… can’t believe we are going to be parents.” 

“I know. It seems surreal.” 

He nods, agreeing. 

After walking in silence, he speaks again. “We need to 

end this.” 

“End what?” 

“This mess with Ezra. I want 

to just focus on you…us.” He 

moves close. “I don’t want to 

have to worry about Ezra 

anymore.” 

“That would be great. I am 

tired of it too.”
