Scarred Alphas

Chapter 83

“Well, Cass…you are a smart one aren’t ya?” Oliver says.

He looks me up and down. I am n*ked and have nothing to cover myself with so I pay it no mind. Maybe having him distracted will help a bit.

“So? Tell me. Why have you done all of this? Was it you

from the start?” I ask.

“Of course not.” He strides

towards me and stands just a few feet away from me. “My scheme started when you

rejected me.”

I don’t believe him and I am

sure my expression shows it.

“I came here to establish a

pack.” He says.

“And you did that.”

“My ambitions do not stop there. It takes more than just placing a pack somewhere vacant to be well established.

We would have been a target for other packs that didn’t think we belonged here or even your own pack. But you

wouldn’t know all of this.

You are new to your position

and still learning.”

I narrow my eyes at him.

“I am not trying to insult you.” He says. “Anyway, your pack is the most powerful

one on this continent, so naturally, I wanted it.

“You wanted it? Just like

that?”

“Yes. And the easiest way to get it would have been to have you as my mate. That would have been the perfect

outcome. We could have been so powerful together.

We belonged together. But

you had to go and ruin it.

Make it harder for me.”

“So you just wanted to gain an instant powerful pack.”

“Actually, I share your

father’s ambition. To rule

them all. All other packs to fall at my feet. That is my goal.”

“Well, my father was always

crazy so that means that so are you.”

“Call me what you wish. It is my right.”

“Your…right?” I laugh. “You do sound just like him. And

tell me, why are you so worthy of ruling all other packs? How is it your right?”

He smiles. “You still haven’t

figured it out?” He asks.

“Figured what out?”

He laughs. “Nothing.”

“Stop playing games! I am

tired of your shit!”

“But it’s so much fun to see

you so frustrated.”

“Fun? FUN! You almost killed

my mate!”

“Damn, almost…”

“I think it is time for you to

die now.” I tell him. I look

deep into his eyes. “Die.”

He quietly stares at me… and

continues to stare.

I take a step back.

“What is wrong?” He asks.

“Why…”

“Why what?”

“Why is my power not

working on you?”

Calmly, he straightens and

puts his hands in his pockets.

“You tell me.”

“Either…my powers are not

working or…they don’t work

on you.

”

“Which one is it then?” He

asks.

“I…I…”

I don’t know which one it is

but now it doesn’t matter, I

need to get away from him. I can’t fight him. It would be like fighting Colt or my Father.

I turn around and start

running but I don’t get far. I

feel him behind me. He has

one arm around my waist

and his other hand holds me

by the neck.

“And where do you think

you are going? I am not done playing with you.”

“Don’t touch me!”

I turn my head and look at

him. “Let me go!” I

command but nothing happens.”

“Why?! Why are you

immune?!”

“Why do you think?” He

smiles.

“I…I don’t know.”

“Think, Casseopea. Think

about it. You and I belong together. Why is that? Why do you think I tell you that

we would have been

powerful together?”

He turns me around and

holds my chin to look into

his eyes.

“If you were normal, I would

have been able to make

choose me.”

“Make…me?”

you

“Make you…just like if I was normal, you could make me do whatever you wished.”

I fall into shock realizing.

“You…but…”

“Oliver Vald… Does that not

ring a bell?”

“Vald…Gunvald…” I mutter

after thinking.

“Bingo!”

The three families with this

power. Chevalier, Solveig

and Gunvald.

I push away from him and he lets me go but I don’t run.

I am in shock and so I face

him.

“But how! If this is true, then

why didn’t you use your powers to get an advantage?”

“I couldn’t give myself away. If my family were to know that I am still alive, they’d

hunt me down.”

“Your…family? Why?”

He smiles and it is a wicked

smile. “I killed my two oldest siblings. I wanted to be

Alpha of the pack and so I had to get rid of them. I would have gotten away with

it too but I made a few

mistakes along the way and I got caught.” He goes on. “My family disowned me and

marked me for death. It is a

game we have back home.

Those who are condemned

to death have to participate

in a game. A hunt. The condemned is hunted by the whole pack. I managed to escape before that, thanks to some supporters who

believed that I was meant to

be Alpha if my siblings were killed so easily by me. It is

what used to be done in the

old days you know. Siblings fought for the Alpha position but somehow down the line,

that tradition was changed. I will bring that back.

“You and Ezra are so alike…”

“Don’t compare me to that

immature idiot! The fool couldn’t see past you.”

“So you want my pack? Then you’ll have to kill me.”

“Kill you? No. I’ll make you my Luna. That power that

runs inside you and me is

special and rare. It would be

a waste to kill you.”

“I will never submit to you.”

“You don’t have to.”

“Wait, I am confused. If you

want me to be your Luna,

then why did you take me to

Zao?”

“I needed somewhere to hide

you. Zao had it clear that he was not to let you die. Why do you think you were always so lucky to have a team with you? What I was not expecting was you killing Zao and taking over. That

was a huge surprise.”

“You mother f**ker! And

what about Ezra? What were

your plans with him?”

“I was using him. I needed a place to hide and also men to be able to go against you.

After yours, his was the

biggest pack.

“You still can’t take us even

with this kind of men

power.”

“Is that what you think will

happen? I have a plan.”

“What is it?”

“Mh…I guess it won’t hurt to

reveal it. This pack will be

given to me. When all the

other packs find out what

your pack did…”

“What my pack did?”

“Yes, you killed all the Alphas

in a meeting that was

supposed to be a neutral

meeting.”

“You can’t blame us for this.

Not all Alphas were killed

and they know the truth.”

“You are really

small–minded. Can’t blame

you. You have no idea how to

run a pack.”

“Stop being so

condescending! I will never

let you, even if my powers don’t work on you-”

“Ah! Yes! This power of yours. About that…I’m going

to need you to lose it.”

“Lose it?! As if that were

possible.”

He snickers. “It is, if you can’t

see.”

“If I can’t…see?”

He lowers his stare and I can

see him getting ready to attack me. “You, don’t need

to see to be my Luna or the mother of my offspring.”

“You are sick!” I turn and run

but I immediately hear him

running after me so I start shifting.

“This is another thing that I intend to bring back!” He

shouts. “When a male wolf

would hunt for his mate! I

will make our kind greAT AGAIN!” He growls at the

end and I know he has

shifted.

I try my best to run back to the pack house but I have to suddenly deviate when I hear him right on my heel. I turn and see him slide past me trying to stop. I continue running but I have no

intention of doing this

forever. At some point, I am

going to have to fight him.

He is behind me again and

does not slow down. I reach a slope going up and use all of my strength that I have to go up. when I hear him behind

me, I turn around and slam into him letting gravity help. The momentum of coming NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

down so suddenly hits him like a bolder. I dig my fangs into his shoulder and bite as

hard as I can. He rolls us

around and I fly away from

him hitting a tree.

The pain surges through my

spine and head.

I open my eyes but it is

blurry. I am in and out of focus. I shift, hoping that this will help me reorient myself

and it does actually help a

little.

When I get up–holding myself against the tree–I see Oliver rushing me, already

shifted into human. He holds

me by the neck and gets

close.

“Those pretty eyes need to go.”

I dig my fingers into the bite I gave him on the shoulder. He screams and lets me go,

backing up. I run past him

but he grabs me by the hair and with force, he pulls me

and I fall on the ground with

a scream.

He pins me on the ground by holding my neck and then his other hand starts

coming down, directed to

my eyes.

“No!” I scream and start

hitting him. I manage to grab his face and dig my gingers, scratching him. He screams and recoils back giving me time to roll and try to run but he grabs me

from behind and turns me

back to lie on the ground where he again holds my neck and this time squeezes.

I try to breathe for air but it is hard. Focusing on my need to breathe, I use my

hands to scratch at the hand

that holds my neck. His

other hand reaches my eyes. I close them trying to shield myself but I start feeling his fingers dig into them.

“NO!” I scream. “Stop!”

The next thing I see is Oliver flying up in the air. He hits the ground next to me and

then suddenly flies back and

hits a tree. When my eyes

finally focus, I see Colt heavily breathing with his

fangs out still in his human

form.

“Colt!”

He rushes Oliver and grabs him by the throat.

“You’ve put your hands on

her for the last time!” Colt

growls.

Oh no! Colt doesn’t know

that Oliver has the same

powers as me!

“Colt! Don’t look into his

eyes!”

Colt throws Oliver across

from him.

“Colt!” I shout but he is not

listening. I can feel the anger in him taking control.

I sit up and that is when I suddenly spot Honora.

She rushes to me. “Are you okay?!”

I nod. “Colt is in danger.!”

Honora looks at Colt who

holds Oliver face down on

the ground. “Doesn’t look

like that to me.”

She

gets up, staring at the

fight.

“Do it… Kill him.” Honora urges Colt who holds Oliver by the neck. “He has brought

all this destruction. He is the

cause of your mate’s pain.

End him.”

“Don’t!” I shout

Honora looks at me with

squinted eyes.

Colt also has my attention.

“Death is too easy. He is

going back to face his

family’s wrath.”

“You would just be giving

him more time to escape

and find another way to get

to you. End it now!” Honora

shouts.

Colt punches Oliver over

and over until Oliver is out

cold but alive.

“What a disappointment you

are.” Honora mutters to Colt.

“F**k off lady. I don’t give a

shit what you think.” Colt

barks angrily.

Honora sighs. “Can’t trust you to keep her safe then.”

She puts her hand up as Colt

saunters to me and blows a

powder at his face that

causes him to fall to his

knees.
