Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
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. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Narugi.com.

"WHAT?! NO!"

I grab Colt by his shirt and shake him. "WAKE UP!"

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 replace 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.

Fucking 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 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 replace him leaning on a tree as if he was waiting for 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.
