Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 

Colt’s POV. 

I stand here, watching and waiting. I try my best not to 

stare at her but it is 

impossible. All I do is worry. I am the one who got her 

into this mess. She is here 

because of me. I was unable 

to protect her and now she is caught in Warrick’s claws. 

I will get you out, Cass. I promise you I will get you out of this even if I die 

trying. 

All I care about is her being 

safe now. 

“Hey there handsome 

stranger.” Julia walks next to me and quickly leans in, k*ssing my cheek. 

It is too fast so I don’t have 

time to move away. 

“Have I given you mixed signals, Julia?” I bluntly ask her. 

“No. I know, I know. But you also know that I don’t give up 

easily. I care about you very much.” 

More like obsession. 

She is a good girl and she helped me a lot when I first got moved up to the house. But I never tried anything 

with her and I am sure that I 

never purposely gave 

her 

that kind of idea either so I 

am not about to entertain 

this kind of bullshit. 

“Please, stop. Your father doesn’t like me very much and if he finds out that you 

have a…crush on me-” 

“A crush?” she laughs. 

“Sure…it’s just a crush…you 

are adorable sometimes, you 

know that?” 

I finally turn to her and give her a good stare. She wears a tight red dress that 

showcases her breasts. Her 

hair is down and parted 

mostly to one side and her makeup is heavier than 

usual. 

The stare I give her is meant to be intimidating but it does 

not work on her. Instead, she 

smiles and then twirls 

around. “Do you like my new dress? Daddy bought it for 

me.‘ 

She is like a spoiled child. It might not even be a stretch 

to say that she might be more spoiled than my own 

sister. She comes from a 

family of six brothers. She is the youngest and only daughter so makes just a bit of sense that she is this 

spoiled by her parents but 

this is a tad bit too much. 

I look away without giving her a response, searching for my Angel. Once I spot her with Warrick, I look away 

again to avert suspicions. 

She is looking beautiful tonight and she is not even 

trying. I love that about her. 

I glance at her again and 

notice that she looks so 

scared. I hate it. I hate that I 

can’t make her feel safe. She 

has been through so much already, This is the last thing 

she needs. I wanted to take 

care of her and make her feel loved and safe. I was going to make her my Luna. 

Everyone in the pack would have had to give her respect. 

She deserves that and so 

much more. 

What takes me back from 

my thoughts is feeling Julia’s 

hands wrap around my arm. 

“Don’t.” I pull away from her. 

“Oh come on. We are not 

doing anything bad.” 

I can feel it. I look 

her and see her 

up from 

father–Rodrick–staring at 

1. us. 

He is one of Warrick’s 

generals and one not to be trifled with. A man of Alpha 

blood. He is older than all the other generals, even 

older than Warrick but the 

man does not look frail in 

any way. Even at his age, he 

looks menacing, and the scars on his face and 

b*dy–rivaling mine- make it even more so. A man who 

saw and survived the cruelty 

of Warrick’s own father. The 

way Warrick’s father is talked 

about is as if those were the 

dark ages of this pack. Not 

even Warrick himself was 

spared. 

“Why is everyone so 

intrigued by her?” Julia asks. 

I look in the direction she 

stares and see Cass. 

“Didn’t you hear?” Beck 

walks up to us looking better 

than he did before. He was a 

bit drunk but our kind 

sobers up fast. “The ‘Princess‘ is going to be the Alpha of this pack.” His tone is almost mocking. 

I narrow my eyes at him not liking the way he says that. 

Julia rolls her eyes at him. 

“Yeah, sure. Cause that is a 

common occurrence.” She 

laughs. “A female Alpha…” 

Beck ignores her and gives 

me a cold gaze. 

“The man who found and 

brought his daughter back. Were you really trying to 

come back is the question.” 

“I’m here, aren’t I? Do you 

really think I would have 

been caught that easily if I 

didn’t want to be here?” I feel 

so stupid for saying this because this is exactly what happened. “And I don’t care 

what you think. Alpha 

Warrick believes me.” 

“He might not see it, but I can see straight through your deception.” 

Are you saying that you are smarter than Alpha Warrick? 

That is a bold statement and 

maybe something Alpha 

Warrick himself should hear 

about.” I turn to Julia. “You heard him, right.” 

She quickly gives a nod. “Yes. 

And I am sure the Alpha 

won’t like it one bit.” 

“You know, you should really 

pick carefully who you 

spend your time with little 

Julia. I don’t think your 

father approves much of this 

man.” He turns around and 

starts walking away. 

“Luckily for me, I don’t care what you think. I spend time with whoever I want.” Julia replies to his comment but 

he ignores her, continuing to 

walk away. 

Julia’s attention comes back 

to me. “I got you,” she says 

with a smile. 

I inwardly sigh. “Julia, you need to stop. I am not one to repeat myself and you know this.” 

She puts a hand on my shoulder. “Alexis, I care 

about you very much and I 

will fight for this-” 

“You really need to listen to him. He is not one for joking 

on these matters.” Skye 

interrupts. 

Julia looks back at her and 

suddenly her face seems to morph into pure anger. 

“What do you want?” Julia 

spits out. 

“A word with my ex–mate.” 

“You have no right to talk to him after what you did.” 

“Oh shush girly. Go play with your dolls for a second 

and leave us grown–ups to 

have a conversation.” 

Julia is as old as Cass but she 

looks like she is much 

younger and acts much 

more immature. 

Julia grinds her teeth while 

Skye gives her a mocking 

smile. Skye is now one of Warrick’s brides and though she has no real power, to have a bride offended by someone could get you punished. 

Julia walks away and Skye 

settles next to me. 

“What do you want?” I ask 

her. I try not to have too 

much anger in my tone. 

“What have you done? This is Casseopea from our pack, right?” 

“Yes.” 

“She will reveal who we are, 

Colt. She is going to get us killed.” 

“No, she is not. She knows of 

our situation. She won’t 

speak. She would never 

“Oh, and you know her sooo 

well?” 

“I do,” I say. I try not to be obvious but Skye turns to me 

and stares at me like she is 

trying to figure something 

out. 

“Go on your merry way, don’t give this another 

thought. She won’t say 

anything. It’s much more 

suspicious that you are here talking to me when you haven’t spoken a single word 

to me in years.” 

She knows I am right. 

Biting her tongue, she turns 

around and leaves. 

Within seconds, Julia is next 

to me again. 

“That witch…” She mutters 

watching Skye. 

I spot Warrick moving. 

He holds Cass by the hand 

 

and leads her to the stage 

and my attention is now fully on them. 

“Everyone acts like she is the 

last water bottle in the damn 

desert. What is so special about her? Just because she is the Alpha’s daughter?” Julia mutters but I ignore her and 

continue to watch. 

“Come, gather around,” Warrick says up on the stage. “Many of you have probably heard the rumors flying around. After years of 

searching, we finally found 

her. She is the reason for this 

gathering. I want to 

introduce to you, my daughter.” He motions to 

Cass who stands up there looking terrified. “Casseopea. 

Refer to her as Princess or 

Alpha for she will be my 

successor.” 

ו 

People around gasp. There 

has never been an Alpha of a pack that was female. 

If Warrick was not the one 

announcing this, I would say that this is a good thing. A shift from the patriarchy of these packs. I am sure that 

not everyone is going to look 

at it as a good thing but this is a definite change. 

Warrick continues. “You’d do 

well to show her respect. She is not just my eldest but she also inherited my powers. She will be an extension of 

my power.” Warrick 

genuinely looks proud. I don’t think I have ever seen 

him like this and it is very 

interesting. However, exactly 

what he just said is what I was afraid of. 

*** 

Cass’s POV. 

 

I look down at the people 

who stare up at me while I stand on the stage where 

Warrick announces who I 

am to the pack. I can see a mix of feelings on everyone’s faces. It is unnerving because 

some do not look happy. Especially when he tells 

them that I have the same 

gift as he does. That really 

seems to rattle some of 

them. 

I dislike being the center of 

attention and even more the 

center of someone’s anger. 

My nerves calm down when 

I see Colt in the crowd. That 

girl Julia talks to him while he looks up at the stage. It may be my own jealousy but to me, it looks like she is very clingy with him. Staring at him, I take in a deep 

breath and get a grip. 

When Warrick is done with 

the announcement, he 

goes 

back to the crowd to talk to 

people while I quietly slip away. I hide behind the stage 

where there are a few trees 

and there is no one. Of 

course, Serge follows me so I am not completely alone. He 

stands a few feet from me 

but doesn’t say anything, just 

stays quiet which I am okay 

with because I don’t feel like 

talking to anyone. 

I look up at the stars wondering how Lauren and James are doing. The only two people I wish to see right now…and maybe even Dash. 

I wish I could talk to Lauren 

right now and tell her everything that has happened. 

I wonder if I will see her 

again but I know I will. I 

have to, she is my sister. I really hope she doesn’t 

worry too much about me. 

I sigh. 

I know it has only been a few days but I wonder if her belly is already growing. I 

wish I could see her. I am 

starting to feel homesick. 

“About to give up already?” 

Garret comes out from the 

corner of the stage.
