Scarred Alphas

Chapter 25

“What is going on?” I ask

them.

“We have to go.” Colt repeats getting up. He grabs my arm and gets me to my feet.

Dash and the pack member pick up all the bags from the

floor and we start to walk in

the direction of the

elevators.

pull on his hand. “Colt, you need to tell me what is going

on.”

His face is stoic and it won’t

tell me anything. I see him look back at the men and

then he starts walking faster.

When we reach the elevator,

Dash and the pack member go in first. Colt pushes the closing button but steps out of the elevator with me.

“Leave.” He tells Dash. “They saw me. If we don’t make it

back, tell my father not to do

anything rash. I will find my way back.”

Dash gives him a nod with a

worried expression as the

door closes.

“Colt!” I say with urgency.

“No time, Cass. Come on. I’ll

explain on the way.”

He goes to the side of the

elevators where there is a

door that leads to the stairs.

The stairs are two–way, up and down. He starts leading me down.

“Colt! Who are they?!” I

shout.

“Those are men from the

Dark Fang pack.” He finally

responds.

“What? Why are they here?!”

“I don’t know. But like us,

they have property here too so I can only assume that is why they are here.”

“But we have many of our

own pack here with us. So why are you so scared?”

“Because, If Victor is here,

then that means that Warrik

is also somewhere here in

the city.”

As he says this—even though we are a few floors down

now–we hear the door that

we came from, open.

Colt puts a finger across his

lips telling me to be quiet. He then picks me up and

starts dashing down the

stairs trying not to make any

noise.

“I swear I saw him. I think

they went through here.” A

man’s voice echoes.

“You sure it was him?”

Another asks.

“I think so.”

Soon, Colt reaches the

bottom floor where there is

only one door left after all

the other ones we passed.

He carefully opens it and

rushes through it.

We are at the parking garage. Colt puts me down and takes my hand.

“What now?”

A car passes by us with more speed than it should be having in here. It startles us

but it keeps going.

“Cass, listen.” He kneels

behind a car and makes me kneel too. “If we get caught,

call me Alexis. If Warrik ever

finds out that I am my

father’s son. The next in line

to be Alpha of the Blood

River Pack, he would kill

me.”

“O…kay…”

I am scared now because he

doesn’t look okay. He looks

scared and desperate. He

starts moving behind the

cars as he pulls me with him.

Call him Alexis? So they

don’t know who he really is?

“Uhm…Skye never told Warrick who you are?” I ask.

“No, he’d kill her too just for being part of the pack but even more so because she

was my mate and she knows

this.”

Wow.

We continue our way that

leads down. It is a spiral indoor garage.

He suddenly lifts himself up

and smells the air but

immediately hides back.

“Damn it! There are more of

them up ahead.”

I look back with the hopes that we can go back the way we came from but in the distance I immediately see

those men coming out of the

door.

“They are here,” I whisper.

“Shit. They are going to catch my scent if they didn’t already.”

He stops, still kneeling down but now faces me. Looking at me with concern, he puts his

hands on my shoulder.

“Cass…you have to play

along. There is no way of

getting out of this.”

“Play along?”

He closes his eyes. “F**k, I should have told you

everything.”

“Is it…is it bad?” I ask. “Is

what you have to tell

me…bad?”

He looks at me with

intensity. Then he pulls me

in and k*sses me. There is so

much passion and

desperation at the same time

behind this k*ss. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

He puts a hand on my chin as he finishes the k*ss, then,

pulls back and looks into my eyes. “All you need to

remember is that…I…I…L-…..I

care about you. Okay?

Everything I am doing now

is all for you…even…..if I seem

like the bad guy.”

“What? The bad guy? Why-”

Before I can ask anything, he pulls me up with him and

walks right to the middle of the garage.

The men immediately spot

1. us.

“Play along,” Colt whispers to

1. me.

“Beck…Victor. Where is he?”

Colt asks the men.

“Look at what the mother

f**king cat dragged

in…Victor.”

The Victor guy has shoulder–length dark curly hair and dark eyes. He is tall

and is clearly an Alpha. That

much I can see. The other

one might be too but I can’t completely tell. The Beck guy is also tall but he has a

buzz cut. He is tanned and

also has dark eyes. Unlike the

Victor guy, this man has a

few scars.

“Beck, where is Alpha

Warrick?” Colt asks.

“We’ve been looking for you,

motherf**ker. Where are the

others?” Beck asks. The

Victor guy is quiet.

“We were attacked, Beck.

Some were killed and some

of us were taken prisoners.

The others didn’t make it.”

“Hu? You were attacked, yet here you are looking like a

million bucks. You don’t look

so bad to me.”

“I don’t have time for this

shit, Beck. Take me to him.”

Colt barks.

“Now why would I do that?”

“And what else are you going to do?” Colt takes a step flexing his chest and

deltoids.

Beck’s smirk falls and he

looks displeased.

“Exactly. Nothing.” Colt says. “I was just able to escape a few days ago and ended up

here. That’s when I sensed

him. I know he is here.”

“You don’t get to see my father just because you say so.” Vicor finally speaks.

“Well, he’s going to want to see me. I have something for

him.” Colt looks at me after

saying this.

I am about to start panicking

but then I remember that he

told me to play along. I know he doesn’t mean to give me to this Alpha. But the

question is, how do I play

this? Do I act angry?

Nervous?

I am not an actress

goddammit!

I don’t do a single thing and I

definitely don’t move a

single muscle.

“Who is she?” Beck asks.

Colt looks at him defiantly. “None of your business. Now take me to the Alpha. He is

going to want to hear this.”

Victor stares at him and then

at me as if he is trying to

decide what to do.

“Take them to my father. Let him deal with them directly.”

He finally says.

Beck looks unhappy by this

but nods. “This way.”

He goes past us. Colt turns

and follows him. He looks

calm and composed but I know he is just acting. A minute ago he was the complete opposite. Now he

acts as if nothing was wrong.

I turn and try to do the same. Since he is not trying to drag

me with him, I assume I

don’t have to act scared but I

1. am. I am terrified. My heart feels like it’s going to explode inside my chest.

We follow Beck with Victor

and the others behind us

until Beck stops in front of a

black car.

“Get in.”

Colt holds the door for me

and I go inside. I slide all the

way to the end but then the door next to me opens. I

scoot away and Victor sits

next to me. On the other

side, Colt slides in and sits on

my side and then Beck sits

on his. Both of these new

men block the doors. The

car is one of those that has a

black window that opens up to see the driver and it does just that. It opens.

“Back to the Alpha,” Beck says to the driver.

I want to scream. I am so

scared. We are in so much

trouble.

The next thirty minutes are quiet and filled with tension.

The car stops in front of a

tall building. It looks just as

luxurious as the one we

arrived at this morning.

We walk in and head to the elevator. My fight or flight senses tingle and all I want to

do is to make a run for it but

I hold it in. It feels like when

you have to pee and it is about to come out but you

have to hold it. Bad way to

describe it but that is how I

see it.

The moment we walk into

the elevator, I know that I

will be unable to escape now.

The elevator stops at the top

floor to what looks like a

small lobby. There are guards stationed at each side

of the elevator and on each

side of huge double doors at the end of the small lobby.

“Wait here.” both Beck and

Victor say. They go through

the double doors but it is so

quick that I can’t see anything inside.

“You sensed him?“I whisper at Colt, remembering what he said back in the garage

area.

“No, I knew he was here

because Vicor was here too

but that Alpha connection

severed a while ago. But that

doesn’t matter now.” He

keeps it low so that the

guards don’t hear us though they do look uninterested

anyway.

“You were part of his pack?”

“I was forced.” Now he takes

my hand. “Listen to me. When I was in the Dark Fang Pack, the only way for me to survive was to obey and climb up the ranks. To

Warrick, I am one of his

seven generals. Cass… I have

to be cruel. Please

understand. I am sorry, I am sorry for the way I am going to have to treat you. I can’t show any affection towards you.”

Cruel?

My eyes water but I hold the

tears in and nod. “I

understand, C-…Alexis.”

He closes his eyes and nods as if he was lamenting all of

this. “Cass…what I have to tell

Warrick now, it is completely true. So listen up carefully and…you need to act like you already know all of this. Like

you are here willingly here.

Do you understand me? You

are here willingly.” He pauses for a moment. “Do whatever

he tells you to do.”

I nod again. I want to talk and ask questions but my

voice is caught with the lump in my throat.

He leans back taking his hand away from mine and

fixes his suit. “Now put a

brave face up. They are

coming.”

The door opens and I

immediately clean my eyes

and act strong.

The door opens but it is two

unknown men that walk out.

One of them takes Colt and

he is not gentle. The other

man walks over to me but

the way he strides makes me feel like he is going to hurt

1. me. I back up but the man

takes my hand and twists it behind me, making me cry out. From behind he pushes me forward with my hand

behind my back and once inside, he pushes me. I

stumble and fall on my

knees but I quickly get up. I hold my hand feeling a surge of pain on my wrist.

I focus now on what is in

front of me. A big older man

stands cleaning his hands with a rag of what looks to me to be blood.
