Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 80

I look around first without engaging. Garret, Victor, and all of my generals mingle. They act normal but I know they are trying to get as much information as possible.

"You will do great, my love."

Colt says.

I turn to him. I have been so stressed with all of this that I had not noticed how good he looks.

I caress his cheek. "So handsome."

"You think so?" He asks with a cheeky smile.

"Yes."

"And you are looking exquisite. Maybe we should just forget about this whole party."

I squint my eyes at him. "You lie."

He laughs. "We can dream."

I sigh. "I don't like having responsibilities."

If we weren't the ones in charge, then we could forget about all of this and go have some fun. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Narugi.com.

"Cass." Garret walks up to me.

"So, anything?" I ask.

"Unfortunately, none of them know anything. It seems that they were all surprised to receive this invitation."

"Are our borders secure?"

"Yes. The possibility that this is all just a distraction is high."

"Good. Now, what am I supposed to say to-" My train of thought disappears when I spot someone that should be resting upstairs. "What is Dad doing here?!"

"What the hell?" Garret is just as surprised as I am.

Colt, Garret, and I all rush to Warrick. Victor gets there in no time as well.

"What are you doing?"

"He won't listen." Lotus says sounding tired. I am sure she already tried her best to talk him out of this idea and Poppy nods agreeing.

"I-" Warrick takes in a deep breath having trouble just starting to talk. "Something is going to happen tonight.

That much is obvious so I can't just lie around and do nothing."

"And what can you do in your condition?" I ask him.

"I may not be able to fight or barely move but I still have my power."

"That is still not enough. You could still easily be killed."

"Agree." Victor says and Garret nods.

"I am staying. End of conversation."

"Fine. you

insist on being here, then you will be in a corner sitting where I can keep an eye on you.

"You can't just-"

"I sure can. I am Alpha at the moment by default. You are out of commission for now and so I am in charge."

"Have I created a monster?"

Warrick mutters.

"You sure have."

He huffs but also does not complain and I can tell that it is because he is already tired. He does his best to walk on his own to the corner I assigned him to where he sits under bouquets of hanging flowers. "Have Beck and Archie watch him."

Victor nods. "Yeah, I'll have them guard him.

"What in the world is he thinking? He knows he is a target and now he is a sitting duck."

"Maybe that is why he is doing it." Colt says.

"Warrick is many things and one of those is smart. He knows that you are the target but by him being here, all the attention is not just on you."

I suck in a deep breath. "That does not help. Now I have to worry about him too."

"For now, he is fine. It is still early and you need to relax a bit. How about I help you with that."

"I can't leave." I tell him.

"I never said we had to leave."

"Oh." I say disappointed because I thought that he was thinking of doing something naughty.

"Come. Let's sit over here."

He takes my hand and leads me to the furthest table at the edge of the parameter of where the banquet will take place. Most people are concentrated in the middle of the festivity so at the moment we have just a tiny bit of privacy, if you could call it that. We sit and Colt moves our chairs together, as close as they can get. He leans with his large frame and hugs me, hiding me in his arms. I close my eyes as I take the scent of his neck where I marked him.

"You've grown so much." He whispers.

"Mh?"

"The woman you are today...you have grown from the girl I met so long ago."

His hands slide down the length of my waist and travel under the clothed table where he lifts my long dress up my thigh. His hand caresses my bare thighs as they go down and then I feel his hand fold over my knee, his thumb gently folding circles on my skin. I feel his breath on my neck and I am acutely aware of it. His green eyes meet mine and they flicker with want and possesiveness. His hands start making their way up, his soft fingertips tickling inside my thigh.

I suddenly forget where I am, I think we both do and we don't seem to care. I succumb to the feeling of his touch and yearn for it.

Of course, there are warning flares going up in my head. Are people watching us? Do they know what he is starting to do under the table? One slight opening of my eyes tells me that no one is even looking at us. Everyone is engrossed either in drinks or conversation.

"I am going to make you feel good in front of everyone here." Colt whispers. A wave of chills runs through my skin and my body gives in to the excitement.

"Touch me." A breathless needy voice comes out of me.

"Mh..." He softly growls.

"Where do you want me to touch you? Here?"

His hands squeeze the inside of my thighs."

"No."

"Here?"

His hand slightly moves up but barely.

"No."

"Where?"

"Higher." I whisper.

"Higher? Mh...here?"

My body jolts as his fingers barely graze my skin right where I want them to.

"Yes." My high-pitched voice gives me away.

"How do you want me to touch you? Like this?"

The tip of his finger moves up and down as if he were petting something tiny.

"You have to tell me if you like it or I'll assume you don't." His hand pulls away but I immediately grab his wrist and put it right back where it was. "Don't stop."

He chuckles.

He likes playing games.

"So, like this?"

His hand rests over my slit and his thumb starts massaging my c**t. The grip have over his wrists tightens as I try not to suddenly moan.

"Y-yes." I whisper.

The touch brings a rippling jolt through my body and my lips part as I try to take in deep breaths.

The thumb does not linger

there long. His whole hand

moves down. He swipes up feeling how moist I am.

"Mh... if it weren't too obvious to everyone, I'd be down on my knees face deep inside, tasting you. But I'm sure you'll enjoy this just as good." His finger slides inside of me and I gasp. "Shh baby girl. Control those beautiful noises. They are supposed to be for my ears only."

After thrusting his finger in and out of me a couple of times and me doing my best to control my moans, he slides in two fingers.

"Oh..." I whisper.

"You like that?"

"Y-yes!"

It doesn't take long for me to start feeling like I am about to come. I hold his hand closer trying to get him deeper as excitement rises inside of me.

"Don't stop."

"I won't."

"Mh...." An orgasm ripples through my insides making me come undone.

He covers my mouth when I almost moan out loud for everyone to hear.

I take a few deep breaths and open my eyes to look around us now feeling self-conscious but everything goes on like before. If anyone noticed, they don't show it.

"How do you feel now?" Colt asks.

"Much better." I say with a sigh. "I feel a bit sleepy now but somehow, a bit more relaxed."

He smirks. "Now we know how to help you relax."

"Now we need to get cleaned 'cause I can smell it all over us."

"I love your smell all over me." He replies.

"And I love yours but not right now."

We both quickly head to the bathroom and come right back when we are clean. I wasn't lying when I said I felt better. It is like a bit of the tension I was feeling before got released. "Cass, dinner will start soon."

Victor says. "You should speak to everyone once they all gather at the tables."

"Are there any more coming?"

"Most of them are here. A few more will arrive soon but best not to wait."

I nod but I am nervous. I don't know what I am going to say.

As nervousness takes over, I cast my eyes around the room. That is when I spot James.

"James?" I call to him as I walk in his direction.

"Are-You are here?"

He slowly nods as he looks down and puts his hand in his pocket. "Yeah, I...feel like

I need to be here. I saw it from the window and...I needed to come out."

"Well, I am glad to see you here. Eat, get some fresh air."

He nods. "Yeah, I think I'll go take a walk. The garden...it's something she would have liked."

I smile and nod. "Agree. She would have liked it very much."

He gives me a nod and walks away. Our interactions have been a bit awkward but I understand how he feels, incomplete. I am grateful that he has survived the heartbreak this long.

Bryn surprises us. "Colt, why are we entertaining this all. It is obvious even to me that it is all a trap of some sort."

"Bryn, leave it alone. They know what they are doing."

Miles says in a complaint.

"Yeah, we are aware of that." Colt replies.

"So why? We should call it off and throw everyone out."

She says and then whispers. "What if all these Alphas attack us?"

"Oh, they won't." He says.

"How do you know that?"

"Victor and Garret are sure so I am sure. I trust them." I respond.

"Should you trust them?" She says in a snobby tone.

I roll my eyes and ignore her, giving my attention to Honora who brings me a cup of tea. Colt continues to talk to Bryn trying to calm her down.

Honora hands me the cup of tea. "This is chamomile tea.

It's good for the nerves."

I nod and take it. It is soothing and warm.

I give her tea cup back and take a deep breath watching everyone gather at the tables, getting ready for dinner.

"Come on love. You can do it." Colt takes my hand and leads me to the head table.

Everyone quiets down and stands to watch me.

"..." I start but pause overthinking it. "I want to thank you all for coming. It was... surprising... ..."

My train of thought stops when I watch as Ezra and Oliver stride in.

"Sorry for being late. Traffic and all that..."

Ezra gives a huge smile and I am left wondering how the f**k did he even make it inside.
