Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 15

Lauren gets close and narrows her eyes. "It...it wasn't Colt, was it?"

I can't help my eyes widen.

"Hehehe...no,

no..."

She gasps knowing I am lying through my teeth.

"Spill it! Now!"

"Nope! I have stuff to dust!" I run away.

"Yeah, the Alphas mouth apparently!" she shouts.

I gasp and turn around.

"SHUT UP STUID!" I whisper in a growl.

"You are going to tell me everything!" She shouts.

Nope.

I turn back around and run back into the house but I have no intention to go dusting anything again. Instead, I go hide in one of the closets for another half an hour but the whole time all I can think is about Colt. The things that he says to me, the way he treats me now, the way his l*ps taste, and the way he touches me.
This goes on all day until I finally go home where...my thoughts are also still consumed by him that night and I can barely sleep.

I wake up very early feeling more tired than usual. The sun has barely come up. I get ready as I always do but Lauren and James seem to be much more chatier than usual. I hear them in the living room and it annoys me.

When I come out, I almost fl*p over when I see Colt sitting on the sofa, having coffee while they all talk.

"What the hell?"

"Good morning, Angel," Colt says with a smile.

He did not just say that in front of Lauren and James!

My face heats up and I am sure it turns all shades of red.

Lauren and James look at each other with confusion.

But soon a stupid smile plants itself on Lauren's face while James still looks just confused. I am sure Lauren has not told him anything.

Lauren doesn't tell him about my private stuff and that is why I trust her so much.

I turn around and walk right back to my room.

"Cass. Come on. Don't be a child. We all need to talk."

Lauren says.

"We do?" I shout from my room.

"Yes. It's important."

With a sigh, I walk back to the living room.

"Come, sit."

"No."

She grunts.

"Okay, fine. So..." She looks at James and then looks at me.

"Well..."

"Lauren, spit it out," I say, annoyed.

"We are pregnant!" James blurts out.

"...What?"

"James!" Lauren hits his arm.

He has a huge smile unable to contain himself.

"You are!?"

She smiles and nods.

Wait! That's why she gave me the dress! She said it didn't fit her anymore.

I smile and quickly hug them.

I am so glad! They have been trying for so long!

"How far along?" I ask.

"I am four months now.'

I gasp.

"And you didn't tell me!?'

"We wanted to make sure that everything would be okay." She says and then looks at James as if she figured something out.

"Maybe this is why I've been so horny."

I gasp. "Shut up! You can't say stuff like that in front of guests! Or even me!" I look at Colt who almost laughs but then goes back to his straight face.

After the excitement is gone, I look at Colt again. "But why are you here?"

He looks at Lauren.

James is the one who talks. "Well, we came to him and the Alpha about building an extra room here. I have been saving up and finally have enough. But Alpha Colt here came up with another idea." "What idea?" I look at him.

"Well.." Colt starts to speak. "A baby can be expensive. So I told them that there is no need for that, you are moving to the pack house so that they don't have to spend money on another room and instead use it for the baby. It is done. I have your room ready." He says so nonchalantly.

My eyes start squinting but this time there is a twitch in my right eye.

"And what in the world ever made you think that I would ever want to stay in the pack house?!"

"Doesn't matter. Fact is, this house is too small for all of you." He says.

"Cass, you don't have to. We are not in any way throwing you out. Our plan was to expand the house. We never thought about moving you out." Lauren says.

Colt shakes his head. "It was all my idea but you know it makes sense. Why spend so much money on a room when you can use that money for other things that you really will need especially with a baby on the way." He looks away as he takes a sip of his coffee and then mutters.Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Narugi.com. Visit Narugi.com to read the complete chapters for free. "Besides, I was going to move you eventually anyway." I squint my eyes and I swear that this is going to be the default setting on which I always look at him. "You what?"

"Mh." He takes another sip of his coffee without responding as if he didn't hear me. "This is good coffee."

I know it does make sense but I hate it. I don't really want to live in the pack house. It's going to be a living hell for me.

"Cass, stay. We want you here." Lauren says and James nods.

I sigh. I know they don't really have a lot of money.

"It's okay. I'll try it."

"Are you sure?!" She asks, surprised.

"Yeah, besides, I have some time before the baby comes, right?"

As I say this, I see Colt putting the coffee mug on the table, then getting up he says "Nope."

Suddenly, he picks me up and puts me over his shoulder.

"Are you crazy?!" I shout.

"Oh my!" Lauren gets up.

He starts walking towards the door as he carries me but before going out, he turns back to Lauren.

"And congratulations. I see how Cass turned out with you basically raising her, you are going to be great parents." He says. "Uhm...thank you, Alpha."

She says.

I hold on to him. He is so much taller than me so I am afraid that I am going to fall.

"Kiss a*s! What are you doing?!" I shout.

"Taking you home." He says.

"NO, you are not! Are you crazy?! Someone is going to see us. Ezra is going to see us!"

"No, he won't. It's too early and none of my family except for my father wakes up this early."

"Then he will see us!"

"He doesn't care."

"You planned all this you asshole."

"Mh...that mouth of yours-"

"It's going to get me in trouble? I know, I know." I say with a mocking voice and rolling my eyes though he can't see me. I have heard this same thing from Lauren many times before.

"No. I love that mouth of yours." He corrects me.

He really shut me up there. He is also right about no one seeing us. There is barely anyone around. I see a few people in the distance starting their day but no one notices us. He goes into the pack house through the front door instead of the back kitchen door. There is not a soul in sight. The house is still a bit dark as he goes up the stairs.

"Do you really have to carry me like this?"

"Will you not run away?"

"Yes, yes I would."

He laughs. "You are too honest."

"And you know that that is what I would do. So no point hiding it."

He reaches the top of the stairs and walks down a hall.

"Why are you doing this anyway? I really don't get you, Colt."

"I already told you, you are going to be my Luna."

"That joke is getting stale."

"Not joking."

I sigh as he stops in front of a door.

"Home sweet home. This is your new room." He opens the door and once inside, he swings the door close with his leg and then finally places me on the ground.

The first thing I want to do is to give him a piece of my mind but I am stunned by the room.

"This...is huge..."

"You like it?"

"Uhm...yeah but...it's a bit too much."

"Nah, it's perfect."

It is a traditional light decor style. It feels cozy but clean.

"The bathroom is right there." He points to a door on the left and then he points to another door on the right that is closer to me. "That is the closet."

I open the door and turn on the light. I see a big fancy walking closet but it is half empty. The other half has clothes already.

"Uhm...whose are these?" I ask as I pull one of the clothes out. It is a man's suit.

"Mine." He says.

My eyes widen and my head slowly turns to him. "This...is your room?!"

"Yep, and yours too.

I stare at him for a few seconds still as a statue.

"...Nope. Not doing it."

I walk out of the closet but he grabs my hand and pulls me in a hug, chuckling.

"You can't make me stay here, Colt."

"I am not. All that talk was bullshit. You don't have to move in now. You can leave but, just stay for a little while."

He picks me up and within seconds lies me on the bed.

"Colt-"

"Just stay with me. It's still early. We can nap for a little while."

He lies next to me with his arm around me and his face on the pillow facing me.

"What are you doing? You say these confusing things and act in confusing ways. Why do all this?" I ask him.

"Cass, I already told you. I want you. I am not lying. I am not playing games. I want you to be my

Luna...my mate."

"You...can't be serious..."

He lifts his head up and looks me straight in the eyes.

"I am."

"But...but...why?"

He sighs. "I am tired of repeating myself, Cass. So listen up. For the last time, you are different. I want someone good in my life.

Someone genuine. You are perfect."

"Perfect? Okay, now I know you are lying or just playing games.

He stops, closes his eyes, and looks to the side with a pained expression. He then looks at me again. "I... I am so sorry, Cass. I am so sorry that we did this to you. That we made you think this way.

That we made you think that you are not good enough."

I don't know what to say.

He moves my hair from my face. "I couldn't see it befor all those years ago but I do now. I see you." He lifts my chin up to make me look straight at him. "I. See. You, Cass. And you are perfect. Don't ever let anyone make you feel any less."

Unbeknown to me, my eyes water. I feel this pain lift from me with the realization that he is right. The way I think about myself is because of all these other people. I put myself down. I disrespect myself every time I speak negatively of myself. They put this way of thinking in my own head and I let it happen.

My poor soul. I have torn it down. But here this man is making me see this. Helping me see this.

I feel him wiping a tear from my face. I look into his eyes with all manner of feelings swelling up inside of me.

I feel my l*ps get dry, my heart beats fast in my chest and that is when I pull his shirt and k*ss him. Without hesitation, he k*sses me back but I am surprised by my own impulse. I feel desperate and I don't want the k*ss to end. Still pulling his shirt, I hold on to him and continue k*ssing him with desperation. He suddenly smiles while his l*ps are still on mine.

"You like me too." he says smiling.

I feel my cheeks burn and I pull away just a bit.

I can feel my face burning and I don't know where to look, certainly not into his eyes or I will combust.

"Goddess you are beautiful." He whispers.

I want to argue that but he stares at me with too much intensity so I don't.

"Perfect skin..." He caresses my cheeks. "Luscious l*ps..." His finger softly traces my l*ps. "Beautiful dark eyes."

He looks down at my body and gives a low lustful sigh. "I want you." He whispers.

Right now, I want him too especially when he acts like this. I love seeing him in this lustful way. But I am not giving in that easily. I still don't completely trust him.

"Well, you can't have me," I say.

He looks up into my eyes almost with a squint and then his eyes land on my l*ps again. "Can I have your l*ps at least?"

Before I can even respond, he is already k*ssing me.
