Scarred Alphas

Chapter 82

“C–Colt…Colt!”

I look for him but I don’t see

him among the people that

get up.

“Colt!”

“Over here!” Victor shouts. I

see him kneeling over Colt

who lies on the floor

motionless. I run, sliding my knees on the ground as I get to him, ignoring the pain of scraping them.

“Colt!” I shout but he does

not move.

He has burn marks on the

right side of the body.

“Colt! Wake up!” I put my ear to his chest and immediately start to panic. “Victor there is no pulse!” I scream.

He pushes me away and puts

his head on Colt’s chest.

I feel dread rising from the pit of my stomach.

“There is a pulse but it is

faint…it’s…it’s slowing down.”

“WHAT?! NO!”

I grab Colt by his shirt and

shake him. “WAKE UP!”

וו

He doesn’t move.

“WAKE UP! YOU HAVE TO

WAKE UP! DON’T LEAVE

ME! Don’t leave me…”

I can see his face growing pale. Suddenly, his eyes open just a bit and his lips shake.

“You can’t leave me, Colt.

You can’t. No one will ever

love me like you do and I won’t ever love again.”

His eyes start to close and desperation sets in.

“You can’t die!” I use my

fingers to open his eyes. “You

can’t die. Heal! HEAL

YOURSELF!” I command.

There is a sudden grunt. His face contorts and he opens his eyes wide. He takes in deep breaths as if he was

trying to find air.

“Colt?”

I am balling my eyes out.

“Colt?”

I don’t know what is

happening. Did my

command work?”

“Colt!?”

He suddenly blinks a few

times now staring at me and

starts to calm down.

“Is he…”

As I hold Colt, Victor leans down and puts his ear to

Colt’s chest.

“His heart has gone back to a steady beat.”

I immediately kiss Colt and

hug him tighter as I cry

harder now.

“You can’t leave me…you

can’t leave me…”

I feel a short shaky touch on my arm. Pulling myself from

Colt, I see him caressing my

arm but I can tell how weak

he is.

“He’s going to be okay, Cass.”

Victor says.

“He is?”

I see him better but I am so

scared. I think I am

traumatized now by this.

“He is. But now he needs to

rest.”

I slowly nod as I wipe my face of tears and snot.

“And look, he is starting to heal.” Victor points to Colt’s

arm.

His burns slowly heal but it is

working.

I wrap my arms around Colt.

It will still take time for him

to heal but I am so relieved

and yet still scared.

I lift my head up and look at the damage caused by

Oliver. Many are dead and many more are injured. The

f**ker Oliver is nowhere to

be found.

I am so angry. Look at what

he has done. A moment ago,

all these people were

laughing and talking, now…

I see Dad limp his way to us with Lotus and Peggy. They were far away from the explosion but he still got

some damage from it.

I am so relieved to see them.

“Are you okay?!” I ask.

“Yes, yes…where is Garret?!” He asks frantically.

I have never seen him so

worried and shows how

much he truly does care for

Garret and Victor.

At that moment, Garret

rushes out of the house also

limping. “They are attacking!”

I grind my teeth. Oliver has no honor. He plays dirty.

I look at Colt and give him a soft kiss and then I gently lie him on the ground.

“Have everyone that is able to move, go defend! And alert Rodrick!” I look at

Warrick and try to put on my bravest face, trying not to show how much I was broken just now. “Dad…take care of him for me, please.”

He gives me an assertive

nod. “I will. Come back

safe…the three of you.”

The three of us look at each

other and give him a nod before sprinting through the

side of the house.

“Are our men fighting already?”

“Yes and surprisingly, the

enemies are many.” Garret

says.

“Can they take us?” I ask.

“…they are prepared.”

“Can they take us?”

“We’ve never been attacked

like this. Not while Warrick

had been Alpha and his dad had decimated so many

packs. No one dared.”

Do I really have to repeat myself? “Garret-”

“It is always a possibility. We just have to be careful.” He finally says.

We all duck when a huge explosion comes from the

woods in front of the house.

“Shit! The f**ker is going to

bring this whole place

down.”

Beck runs to us with two of

the other Alphas that

survived.

“Beck! Take the east side!”

Garret urges.

Beck nods and runs to the

right side of the house.

“How can we help?” The

Alphas say.

“Do you have men close by?”

Victor asks them.

“Yes.”

“Call them to help. You both

can take the west.”

Kanda and Serge arrive. I am

glad they are okay.

“Where do you need us?” Serge quickly asks Garret.

I start walking. “You guys continue, I’m going to look

for Oliver.”

“Cass, that’s not a good idea.”

I turn to them but I don’t

stop. “If we get him, we stop this fight.”

“True but it’s still dangerous

and we need to help our

men.”

“Then go do that. I’ll be fine.” Without waiting for their

response, I sprint away.

Soon I am dodging people fighting left and right. I help a few of our own pack

members as I continue on

my way.

It doesn’t take me long to see Oliver at the edge of the

forest before the sea of trees

starts.

Fuking arrogant bastard is not even trying to hide.

Another explosion goes off

inside the forest that is

behind the packhouse

grabbing my attention. This

helps me spot Dash and I am

so grateful he is okay.

“Curls!”

“You are safe!”

He smiles. “Always! I was inside when it happened. I

went to the bathroom to take

a piss and almost ended up shitting myself instead when I heard the explosion go off.”

Even now I want to laugh.

I shake my head knowing

that this is not the time for

this. “Are Miles and Bryn okay?”

“Miles is fine. Bryn was hurt

but she will be fine too.”

“Good. Dash, I need you to

make sure the children in

the pack house are safe. That

last explosion was pretty

close to them.”

“Are you sure?” He asks.

“Yes. We can handle things

here.”

“Okay. Be safe.”

“You too.”

I leave him, trusting that he will get to the children and

also that he will be safe. I

care about that man so he

better be okay.

I start to run in Oliver’s

direction. When he notices

me, I can see a smile on his

face. He turns around and

walks away into the forest

while a group of fifteen to

twenty men block my way. Most are already shifted and

those that are not, are starting to shift.

“Out of my way!”

They scatter and surround

me, menacingly baring their

teeth at me.

They are too many for me to

take. I start backing up but they continue to surround

me and won’t let me leave.

“HUA!” Suddenly Victor

jumps over some of the

enemy and stands behind

1. me.

“I told you it was dangerous to go on your own!”

“Yeah yeah!”

Victor suddenly shifts and

most of the enemy

surrounding us zone in on

him. I turn to try and help

but I am tackled. I fall on my

back with a shifted enemy

trying to take a bite out of my face.

I curl my fists around his main, pulling him back, and look into his eyes. “Fight for

me.”

The wolf immediately backs away and attacks one of his

comrades.

As I get up, two others rush me and at the same time, I

can see Victor fighting about ten of them and even though he is an excellent fighter,

they are too many for him.

Spinning around, I dodge both wolves. They slide through the ground trying to stop. I immediately shift and jump on a wolf that is

attacking Victor on his back however it is not enough. Victor falls to the ground while the wolves swarm him.

I desperately start clawing at their backs to try to get them

off of Victor but to no avail.

They are going to kill him!

I am desperate. Suddenly my wolf takes control and does the same thing she did

a while back. She gives a

resonating growl that echoes

through the field. For a

moment, everyone stops fighting. This gives Victor time to get up. He is

scratched up good and a bit hurt but he is okay. This also gets the attention of many of our own pack members. They start running in our direction and swarming

around the enemy. The men

attacking us turn their

attention to them and we

take this moment to slip

away. Victor limps to a

nearby tree where he shifts

and I do the same.

“Cass, you are Alpha, that

means that you are the most

important person in the

pack, if you die-”

“They’ll have you.” I interrupt him. “You are a good Alpha too. This pack is set and will not have any problems if I am gone.”

“But we care about you. It’s not just about the pack and most importantly, you are carrying our future.” He looks at my stomach. “You shifted. It is dangerous to shift when pregnant.”

“The baby is still small

enough that my body morphing does not affect it.”

“Don’t do it again. What would Colt say?” He asks.

I sigh. “I will do my best not to. But I need to get to Oliver

now before I lose him.”

“Don’t, wait for-”

“He’ll be gone if I don’t. Stay

here.”

I rush away, leaving him complaining.

I smell the air. I am not a

good tracker at all, in fact, I

have never tried to track

before. I can smell the forest

and the natural smells. These

smells I know very well and because of this, I can

differentiate the cologne

scent in the air.

“This way.”

I run following the sharp, crisp scent that Oliver always has. I am very surprised

when I find him leaning on a tree as if he was waiting for

1. me.

I slow to a stop and my guard goes up. He smiles and lifts up from the tree,

walking towards me.

“Took you a bit of time to get

here, and unscathed I see.”

“Oliver…what is your plan!”

“Plan? Who said I had any?”

“We’ve underestimated you. I will not do that any longer.

You are a man with a

mission. Always have been. What is your plan?”

He smiles completely

amused.

-Unknown POV-

(A few minutes after the first explosion)

I feel my face and shoulder

are burnt.

How dare he! HOW DARE

HE! I am going to kill this

man! Look at what he has

done to me!

It hurts beyond belief.

“Where is she?! Where is

she?!” I see and hear Colt

thrashing, asking for Cass while the others try to hold

him down but to no avail. He

gets up and frantically starts looking for her.

Ignoring it, I walk in the

darkness of the side of the

house, making my way after

Oliver but I can’t see him

anywhere. All I see is fighting.

I am a vengeful person and I won’t stop until I see him

pay.

I suddenly spot Casseopea leaving Victor and rushing

inside the forest.

My target immediately changes.

I mustn’t let her get hurt. She

is too valuable to me. But

this woman insists on getting

herself into the worst

predicaments.

I sigh and follow after her.
