Scarred Alphas by Norisha May Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Pack members watch me as I fill a bucket with water. I have chains on my ankles as if I were a dangerous prisoner. I am sure the Luna is trying to humiliate me but I feel none at all since I am used to this kind of treatment. A few smaller children stand in the corner watching me and start to mock me as kids tend to do. I look at them and growl with my fangs out. They scream and take off running. I admit, it brought me joy. Those little shits are going to be just as bad as their parents. As I continue to fill the bucket, I do feel just a bit more decent now. I was able to bathe at the pack hospital and Lauren brought me clean clothes. Jean overalls that are a bit worn out, sneakers, and a colorful striped fit shirt inside the overalls. I have my mane in a ponytail which makes it easier when I clean because it doesn’t get in the way. When the bucket is full, I lift it up and take it back to the basement dungeon. The guard on the door doesn’t follow me. He stays at the door while I go down the flight of stairs. This time, I take the lantern that is on the wall with me. When I reach the cells, I hang the lantern on the wall letting it illuminate the room. The men are all covered in dirt. “Damn! Now I can see everyone’s ugly faces.” Dash says. “Shut up, asshole,” Quinn growls. Dash laughs but then he looks at me. “Except for your face, Curls. You do not fall under the ugly category.” I now ignore him because all he has been doing is flirting and I am starting to think that this is part of his personality and that means he flirts with everyone. I am not used to the attention of men so I got a bit excited when he gave me some attention before. And plus, he was sweet, not the slimy kind of attention. But I have a grip now and I know I shouldn’t be smitten just like that.. I hold the bucket up and throw the water on the floor, letting it run down to the end. I then grab the broom and start scrubbing the floors. “So this is your punishment then?” Dash asks. “Yeah, it’s not so bad.” Chapter 5 “She talks! Oh! So you do like hanging out with us.” I roll my eyes. “Come on Curls, admit it. You like us. “It’s Cass and I do not kid myself, I know you guys are dangerous. But we are separated by bars, so it doesn’t hurt to be…friendly.” “Smart girl.” Quin mutters. “Na, you like us.” Dash says. “And what’s that about Cass?” “It’s my name.” I reply. “Cass?” The green–eyed man whispers, surprising me. He cocks his head just a bit. but when I look at him, he goes back to being his stoic self. “That is short for something?” He asks. I stop scrubbing the floor and stare at him, then I slowly nod. “Cassiopeia.” I replie. He closes his eyes and nods as he whispers. “I see.” “That’s a curious name.” Dash says. “Ugly, you mean.” I mutter. “No. I did not say that.” “But you thought it.” I whisper to myself but then I change the subject and ask. them what has been bothering me for a while. “Anyway, how come you guys are so calm.” “Huh?” Dash acts dumb. “You are in cages and at any moment..your life could end. But you all don’t seem too worried about that.” “Oh nooo, we are trapped. Dash says mockingly. I narrow my eyes at him. “See! You are playing games.” He laughs. “We are used to this kind of treatment. Don’t worry about us, Curls. If we die, we die and that is it. Is not like we have anyone to cry over us.” I suddenly feel bad for them. It seems that their pack doesn’t treat them well either. Not that it is any surprise coming from the Dark Fang Pack. Are we all just pawns of tyrant men? I suddenly have to stop. I close my eyes and grip the wood on the broom as pain wells up in my chest again. Fucking Ezral I scream in my head. I hold the broom harder and every time a surge of pain hits me, I scrub the floor as hard as I can. “Are you okay there, Curls? You look like you are about to cry.” Dash says. “I’m fine!” I snap at him. “Damn… okay.” “Sorry.” I whisper. Green–eyes stares at me with his unreadable expression. I really don’t know what that man is thinking but his intensity makes me shiver, not necessarily in a bad way. After what seems like an eternity, the pain is finally gone. I feel tired but I continue my work. I am deeply concentrating on scrubbing the floors but then I notice that it has gone silent and all I can hear are whispers. I look back at the men and see them all huddling in front of the bars talking to each other. “Are you sure?” Quin whispers. Green–eyes nods. “Yeah. I am sure.” “So, that means-” […]
