Scarred Alphas by Norisha May Chapter 71

Colt grips the iron mask in his hands.

“What kind of…how could…”

He can’t seem to finish what

he wants to say.

“Even I am shocked. I don’t

think even father would have

thought of such a thing.”

Victor says.

“I mean, I could see him do it but he never thought of something like this,” Garret says. “So this Zao, he made you fight in this arena?”

“Yeah. It was ridiculous. He

had stupid titles for us and

made us wear ridiculous

things. It was all a show for

sadistic people to watch.

“I

“But cutthroat.” Kanda ads.

I nod. “I only survived

because of Kanda and the

other girls.” I tell them. “The skills that Victor taught me helped me tremendously too

and on that note, once we get back, training must

continue.”

Victor nods.

Colt–who does not seem to

be past the mask issue-

looks up at me. “He…he bolted this on you?”

My hand goes up to my temple, caressing the skin and remembering the pain.

I nod.

“And you killed him…Zao?”

He asks.

I nod.

“Good.”

“We killed him, his son and

we almost had Ezra.”

“Ezra?!”

I nod. “He was there. I had

him. I had him in my grasp but he got away. All because of that witch!”

“Witch?”

I nod. “Took her head off.”

“Who did?” Victor asks.

“I did. I did to her what he

did to Lauren and before I

forget…” I look at Kanda.

“Send it to him in a box.”

I kept it for that purpose.

Colt stares at me and looks a

bit stunned. They all do.

“Don’t look at me like that. I

am not the same person I was a couple of months ago and it is not a bad thing. I have grown, I have learned and I am stronger now.”

I was such a silly naive little thing. I know I still have a lot more to learn and grow but I am starting to see it all. That little child in me is opening her eyes.

As I think this, I look around

and notice Oliver’s picture

on a shelf.

“Any idea where he ran to?”

“No, but I have two guesses,

Garret says. “He either ran to

Ezra or he ran back

overseas.”

F**ker. If I ever get my

hands on him…

“Am I interrupting?” The door slightly opens and

Honora pops her head in.

“Honora!”

She smiles. “You are safe! I’m

glad.”

“What happened?! I saw you being taken by Zao’s men.”

She nods. “Like I told you,

Zao had his men watch

everyone’s moves. He thought that my actions were suspicious so he brought me in but I was

convincing. He let me go and

I did not think twice, I left. I

don’t know if it was luck or

not but on my way, I

encountered them.” She

points at Victor and the

others.

Victor nods. “We had just finished taking over Oliver’s

pack which was easy. He left with a small group and left his pack to fend off for

themselves. After, we went to

get you back but on the way,

we encountered her. She was

resting when we were

discussing a plan to get you

out but that is when you surprised us here.”

“You said you were heading your way to me when you found Honora. How did you

find out where I was before she told you?”

“Crow, the rogue that works

for Father.”

That was him. The face in

the crowd that looked so

familiar.

Honora pats my shoulders. “I

am glad you are all safe now. Those battles were

gruesome. I’ll be getting ready to head back home

now but I would like to talk

to you. There are other things I would like to discuss with you before I leave later.” Her eyes fall down on my stomach and I am sure she

knows. My hands

automatically touch my

belly.

She smiles and walks out.

I have to tell Colt. I know this

but…somehow…I don’t want

to. It is not because I don’t

think he will be okay with it.

I know him and I am sure he

will be happy. But male

werewolves get

overprotective when their

mate is with a child. And he is already very

overprotective as it is. I love that about him but I am sure he is going to be over the top

when he finds out.

“We should…head back

today. I want to be back in

our pack. I also want to talk

to Father.” I say.

Victor nods. “We need to

leave someone here in

charge.”

“Leave Rodrick in charge of

this place. Move his family with him.” Colt suggests.

I nod. “Not a bad idea. Leave

our generals in control of the territories we possess.”

The thought of Julia moving all the way here with her father and staying away from Colt is also tempting.

“Then it is settled. The Alpha has spoken. ” Victor says.

I wince as I look at him.

“Don’t…call me that.”

I can see he wants to laugh. “Why not, Alpha.”

“It’s…weird, coming from

you. Just treat me normally, please.”

“Sure, sure.”

We all walk out to get ready.

“Where are you heading?”

Colt hugs me.

“I was going to go catch

Honora before she leaves.”

“Oh, okay.” He says but hugs

me tighter.

I am tempted to move away from him. Even though he

has not yet, he could notice

that I am pregnant at any moment. I don’t know how

far along I am but for a she–wolf, as the baby grows in our womb, our body’s scent starts to change and

when the fetus’s heartbeats

are strong enough, he will be

able to hear it. I know it is

only a matter of time before

he notices. Not to mention the dead giveaways like throwing up in the mornings

or because of the smells. I

vomited my insides early this morning but he was still asleep so he didn’t notice. I

know I have to tell him soon

but I want to see what

Honora has to say first.

“Start getting ready. I want to

leave as soon as we can.” I tell

him, pulling away and

quickly walking through the hall not giving him a chance to say anything else.

I find Honora at the front

doors getting ready to head out. “Hey. Don’t leave yet.”

“Ah, there you are.”

“You said that-”

She nods. “There were other things I wanted to talk to you

about.” She cuts me off and I

nod.

“Back in the arena, you said you helped my mother. You could also sense my power. You said that there was a

blockage inside of me.”

She takes in a deep breath.

“Yes. This is all too much to

unload right now but I did know your mother. She

came to me for help. As for

your power…well…I sense magic blocking it.”

“Magic? How…what can I

do?”

“Well, I can help you. But

this would be strenuous to

your body and in your condition…I am not sure it

would be such a good idea. I mean, I have no real proof

that it would hurt what is in

your womb but the

possibility is never zero.”

This is when I hesitate. The

last thing I want to do is hurt my child.

Everyone starts to gather around us getting ready to head home. Colt comes

down too with a bag.

She puts a hand over mine.

“Listen, come to me when

you are ready. You know where to find me.”

I slowly nod, watching her

go.
If she can help me control my power, that is a good thing, right? But relying on…magic…it’s just not natural.

I don’t know what to do but I

do want to know how did she help my mother and with

what. Was it to escape my father? So many questions

now pop into my head.

“Ready?” Colt asks.

“Uhm, yeah.”

We head home. The drive

there is not silent. Colt and I

talk. He fills me in on

everything that happened, even with Julia and Skye.

F**king vultures! The

moment I am not in the

picture they jump on him.

I also told him about the

girls I met in the arena, how Sheril helped me in the fight,

and about Maribel. He is also

curious to see Kanda in her

werecat which I understand.

When I first heard about

werecats, I almost envisioned

them turning into house cats instead of big ferocious

felines. I am sure he will be

awed by her, everyone will.

Finally, the pack comes into view and I feel a sense of

relief.

Home…this is home to me

now.

When I get out of the car, the tension I felt in my body,

leaves. All this time I was in

the pits I wondered if I ever

get to see this place again.

“Do you want to rest first?”

Colt asks.

“No. I want to see my father.”

He nods. “I’ll take you.”

He takes my hand and leads me to my father’s room. I am immediately greeted by

Lotus.

“I am so glad you are safe!” She hugs me and almost

smees like she doesn’t want

to let me go.

“I am glad to be back.”

I look at the bed where

Father lies. He has pillows

around him to keep him

comfortable. He looks tired

and weak but very much

alive. His breathing is

strained. I can see he has a

hard time.

“Daughter, you are back.”

I nod as I walk over to him

and sit on the side of his bed,

next to him.

“They tell me that you are going to recuperate but you have a long road ahead.”

“Yes. This will be when you will need to step up as Alpha.

Victor will be there to help

you when you need the help but I want you to be the one

to run the pack. Be the Alpha

I know you can be.”

I smile. “You know, you can be a good decent man

sometimes.”

“Don’t make me get up and

take it all away from you,

girl.” He says but then his

body starts a coughing fit.

“I’m just saying…” I continue when he calms down. “If

Mother loved you so much, you couldn’t have been such

a bad or horrible man all of

your life.”

He takes in a deep breath. “I

wasn’t. We were happy when it was just the two of us.”

“Hm…then why…why did you get multiple mates?”

“My father demanded it. He

had multiple mates himself. He believed that an Alpha

was entitled to it. My

mother…she killed herself

because of this. When my

father took other mates, she

killed herself.”

I don’t know what to say.

“But your mother accepted this. She accepted

Lily–Garret’s mother–and then Lotus. Dahlia–your mother Casseopea― was my love. My true mate. I regret

all I did that led to her

leaving. I killed her. It was my fault she took you, it was my fault she lost her life. She wanted to get away from

me.”

I can see and hear the

anguish. This man is not the

man I first met, the imposing man with blood on his hands

and a dead body on his feet.

This…this is my father. The man who loved my mother and in his own way has

shown me he cares about me

too.

I lean down and kiss his

head. “I am glad you are okay.”

I know he has done horrible

things. I know this. But I can’t help but have feelings

for him. He is my father.
