Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

“What do you mean?” I ask 

him as we walk towards the 

field. 

“I know I told you that you didn’t have to stay with me 

but now I think that you 

should,” Colt says. 

“No. Why?” As we walk 

towards Lauren, people 

around us stare. I am sure 

gossip has started. 

“Because Cass…when Ezra 

jumped at you in the war room, he was trying to mark 

you.” 

“What!?” 

“And I don’t think he is going 

to stop.” 

I narrow my eyes at him. “Are you just saying this to get me to stay with you?” 

“No. I am not. I am really 

concerned.” I can see it on 

his face. He is telling the 

truth. 

“What is going on?” Lauren 

asks walking up to us. 

“People are talking about you 

two.” 

I sigh. “A lot has happened.” 

“Cass, I think I have to talk to 

my dad again. Don’t go anywhere by yourself. Stay with your sister until I come 

back.” Colt says. 

“Okay, okay. Go.” I tell him. 

“I mean it, Cass.” 

I give him an irritated nod. 

He is fussing a bit too much. 

After he leaves, I tell Lauren 

everything that happened. 

“What the hell?! Now Ezra 

wants you?! What a f**king prick!” she says. 

I nod agreeing with her but 

she looks at me with 

concern. “How do you feel 

about that?” 

“I feel nothing other than anger. I told you. I have no feelings towards him. No good feelings anyway.” 

“Are you sure? He is your 

mate.” 

“I am sure, Lauren. That ship has sailed. I want nothing 

with him.” 

“And with Colt?” 

At that question, I pause. “I 

don’t know.” 

“You seem comfortable with 

him right now.” 

“I am…I think I am. I like 

him but if I am honest, I am afraid. What if he changes 

his mind, also I still don’t 

understand why is he even 

interested in me like that. He 

wasn’t before all those years 

ago.” 

“Well, he had a mate then.” 

“True…” 

As we talk, two girls 

whispering walk by us staring at me. 

“Come on. Let’s go home 

where we can talk in private. And I have some things I 

want to show you.” She says 

looking excited. 

When we get home, Lauren 

immediately gets out 

something from a bag. 

“Tada!” 

“Oh! That’s so cute! Did you 

make them?” I ask her. 

She holds small knitted baby 

booties. 

“Yes! Obviously, we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy so I made them in yellow and 

greens but look how cute 

“And what if it’s a boy?” I ask. 

“James.” She says and looks unamused. I laugh even 

harder now. 

“Yeah, I get to push the baby out and he thinks he is going 

to name it? Nope.” 

“Name what?” James asks 

walking in. 

“The baby,” I say and he 

smiles. 

“Princess and James!” He says 

with a cheer. 

“No! We have not decided on 

this!” Lauren points a finger 

at him. 

I laugh. 

He sprints toward her and 

picks her up, twirling her 

around. “We will see about 

this, boss lady!” 

I smile watching them. They are so in love. I always wanted something like they have but my own love story 

turned out to be a bit 

different. To have a loving 

mate is all a werewolf 

dreams about. My dreams 

were shattered a long time 

ago. 

They start k*ssing and I know that is my queue. I get up and go to my room where I stare at my stuff and debate whether Colt is being too 

rash. I don’t want to leave 

yet. And even more, I don’t 

want to just stay with him. 

We have had a few nice 

moments but I still don’t know the guy. 

As I am thinking this, I hear a commotion in the living 

room. I immediately come 

out and see Ezra and Kaecy. They both look out of 

breath. 

“I couldn’t stop him,” Kaecy 

says. 

“Listen to me…” Ezra says. 

I back away as he takes a step towards me. 

“Stay away,” I say. 

“Wait. Just, listen. Let me…let me…” We can all tell that he 

doesn’t know what to say. 

“What is going on?” James 

asks, looking at all of us. He 

is completely lost. 

“Alpha Ezra, let’s sit and talk,” 

Lauren says with a calm 

voice. She looks at me. “We 

can do that, right?” I can tell 

that she is concerned and so 

am I. If I say no, I feel like he might do something stupid. 

I nod. 

Kaecy holds Ezra’s shoulder 

and takes him to sit next to him. Lauren and James sit on the sofa in front of his 

and I do the same though I stay at the furthest side. 

Ezra’s eyes are on me like a 

hawk. 

“So, what brings you here, Alpha Ezra?” Lauren asks. 

He doesn’t say anything and 

they turned out!” 

I clap with excitement. “I 

can’t wait till he or she is 

here! How excited is James?” 

“Oh my gosh! He won’t stop talking about it. He is already looking for names.” 

I laugh. “What does he have 

in mind?” 

Oh, Goddess! Don’t get me 

started. He wants to name 

her princess if it’s a girl. Like 

actually name her princess.” 

I start laughing. 

“It’s ridiculous!”
