Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 

“How many have arrived?” I 

ask. 

“Three so far but by the looks of it, it seems as if it will be more.” Victor replies. 

“How did this happen?!” 

“I have no idea. No one that I 

know of has mailed 

invitations on our behalf.” He 

holds an invitation card out 

for me to see. 

I take it and examine it. It 

looks like a legit invitation 

telling them that they are 

invited to a feast in our pack 

with the pretense of a 

neutral council after and it 

even has the seal of 

neutrality. 

“This look…legit.” 

“It does and so we have to 

treat it as is.” Victor says. 

“What do we do?” 

The seal of neutrality and a neutral council…it means 

that all fire is ceased and no 

one is allowed to make an 

advantageous move. It would 

be treason to do so to all 

other packs. 

“We can’t turn them away.” 

Garret says. “If they find out 

that this was a hoax made by our enemy, they will start thinking that we are weak.” 

I nod. “Okay, so we do the opposite and use this to our advantage. We show them how strong we are. We show 

them how it would not be a 

good idea for them to join Ezra and go against us.” 

“I agree but also, we need to be very careful. This is 

obviously a plan from Ezra.” 

Colt says. 

“What in the world is he 

trying to do?” 

“I am sure we will know soon 

enough.” Garrets says. 

“And the Alphas? Do they know what is going on?” I 

ask. 

Victor shakes his head. “No, they assume they are here exactly for what the 

invitation says. We’ve never 

hosted an Alpha feast or 

council so most of them–I 

am sure–didn’t think it 

would be a good idea to 

refuse.” 

“Poppy and Lotus are having 

rooms prepared as we speak 

and our cooks started 

working overtime today.” 

Garret ads 

“This is all a bad idea.” Beck 

says. 

“We can’t just throw them out. Many of them could be 

offended.” Victor tells him. 

“Since when have we cared 

what they think.” 

“Since we heard that Ezra 

was looking for an alliance.” Archie replies. “Sometimes 

things have to be done 

differently. Now Alpha, you 

need to go greet them. We 

have deviated those that 

have already arrived to the 

parlor where we are 

distracting them with 

drinks.” 

“Having a murderer on the loose also spells trouble on top of all of this.” Beck 

mutters. 

I nod to them all. “Alright, everyone stay sharp. Keep me informed.” 

As they start to leave, I start 

panicking. I am supposed to 

stand in front of these 

Alphas and speak to them? 

“Cass, act strong.” Colt says. 

“Like the ruthless cutthroat 

your father is. These men 

will not see you as their 

equal just for being a 

woman. So you must show 

them that you are not 

afraid.” 

“I will try but it is easier said 

than done.” 

“You can always show them your power.” Beck says with a 

sly smile walking nearby. 

He’s such a troublemaker. 

“Colt, will you come with 

me?” 

“Of course. I won’t take over 

but I will help you if you 

need it.” 

“Okay. Thank you. 

Putting on a brave face, I 

head downstairs to the 

parlor. The house is up in an uproar trying to get things done. A feast is something you prepare days before the actual day. There is just so much that goes into it 

especially when you have so 

many guests. 

I pause and take a deep 

breath before I enter the 

parlor. Serge and Colt stand 

with me. 

As I go in, three imposing 

men stare at me. Two of 

them with wrinkles that can 

rival a cracked desert and the 

other is as young as a child who just entered his puberty phase. 

“You…must be…the woman 

Alpha.” One of the old men says. His tone is 

condescending and he does 

not hide it. 

“Just Alpha and yes, I am a woman.” I reply. “I am 

Casseopea, and you all are?” 

They all look at Colt. 

“Alpha Turner.” The quiet 

older one says. 

The vocal old Alpha speaks 

1. up. “Alpha Holmes.” 

“Alpha Duke.” The young 

one says. 

“Then it is nice to make your 

acquaintance.” I say. 

“I am sure it is for you, to be in the presence of real 

Alphas. We’ve all heard the 

stories of your dysfunctional family.” 

“Then we are all 

dysfunctional here. Two old 

men who are nearly at 

death’s door but too 

stubborn to pass down the baton and a young man who most likely was just recently weaned from breastfeeding.” 

They all stare at me with 

rage. 

“I will not stand here and be 

insulted by a she–wolf who believed she is on my level.” Holmes says. 

“I am not on your level, I am way above it! And if you wish to test my position, then you will all fall short for I possess 

a skill that none of you do. 

You don’t have to like me but 

you are all here for a reason 

and I demand your respect 

just as I give you mine. Or 

did you just come here to throw insults at me?” 

One of the old men sits and 

props his leg on his knee looking amused. “Why have 

you asked us to come here?” 

He looks at Colt. 

Shit. I didn’t think that far 

ahead. 

“Rest. We’ll have a feast and 

after we can talk.” I tell him. 

This is how Father would 

handle it…I hope. 

“You did not answer our 

question, Alpha Colt.‘ 

” 

I narrow my eyes. The f**kers are purposely 

ignoring me. “And I told you that we will discuss all of this 

later.” 

“Shush, girl. The Alphas are 

speaking.” 

Shush? 

“So Alpha Colt, what say you?” 

“I am not Alpha of this pack.” Colt says. “And I’d mind what 

I say if I were you.” 

SHUSH? 

“If you wish to test me like 

this, then fine!” 

He laughs, sounding 

amused. 

I look at Holmes wanting to rip him apart. “Jump on one foot you sack of shit!” 

Holmes starts doing exactly 

what I told him to do. “What 

in the blazes!” He has a lot of 

difficulty and I can swear I 

heard a bone crack. 

I know that if I use my 

powers on any of them, that could cause much more 

problems, these men’s egos 

are unmatched but I don’t 

give a damn. 

“You…” I look at Turner and 

look at his guards next to 

him. I look deep into the 

eyes of one of them before I 

ask him my question. “Why 

has your Alpha agreed to 

come here?” 

Turner starts to complain. 

“These are my men and you 

don’t-” 

“No one has ever stepped 

foot in the Dark Fang Pack, 

this is a good way to scope 

the enemy. His words.” The guard says. 

The old man gasps while Holmes continues to jump. 

I now look at the young Alpha. “Should I make you cry like a little girl?” 

He steps back and shakes his head holding his hands up. “No, please.” 

“Stop!” I shout at Holmes. He finally stops jumping and stands looking so frazzled. 

“I am my father’s daughter. 

So no, I am not the most 

stable of people but I am 

rational. If you wish to f**k with me, then expect to 

receive the same from me. I 

am trying to be cordial here, but I will NOT be played 

with! So show. Some. 

Respect! Because next time I might not be so benign.” 

I storm out feeling angry and satisfied at the same 

time. 

I walk up to the front door 

but turn to Colt. 

“Shit…did I f**k up?” 

“No…maybe…I mean, you 

gave them a peace of your mind for sure and they were 

being assholes. Your father would have probably killed 

one of them in your position so I think you did good.” 

That is actually the same thing I wanted to do. I 

wanted to kill them for 

trying to make a fool out of 

1. me. 

I can see more Alphas 

arriving outside. 

I sigh. How am I supposed to keep myself from actually doing as Father would do 

and killing one of them? 

“I am not talking to any of them again until the feast.” I 

say. 

“Alright, I’ll let Lotus and Poppy know to greet them.” 

I head upstairs to go see 

Warrick. 

“You bastard could not get healthy fast enough to deal 

with all of this?” 

That makes him laugh. 

“You don’t need me.” 

“Maybe I do.” 

“You will do fine. Don’t let 

them intimidate you.” 

“Oh, I don’t. I’m not afraid of 

them, I am afraid of what I 

will do. When I get angry, I 

just can’t think.” 

“Well then do like me, stop 

trying to control the anger.” 

“Then I’ll end up like you. 

Killing everything I don’t 

like.” 

“Exactly. It gets rid of the problem.” 

I roll my eyes. “Seriously though, I am not ready at all. I know this. But I will step up and do my best.” 

“Good and don’t take shit 

from anyone. If you have to 

kill someone to make a 

point, do it.”
