Chapter 69 

-Colt’s POV- 

“So they are ready for us?” I 

ask. 

Garret nods. “Yes. Our scouts 

have been captured. Oliver 

has the upper hand now.” 

“Then what do we do?” I am 

starting to feel helpless. 

“We watch but prepare for an 

attack.” 

“So…we wait again.” 

“It is all we can do.” 

“Cass is out there and who 

knows what they are doing 

to her!” 

Victor puts a hand on my shoulder. “I get it! I know! 

But this is the situation right 

now.” 

“She is strong. She can hold 

on.” 

“I know she is but It doesn’t 

matter. They can kill her at 

any moment! And what is 

even worse is that we don’t 

know where she is!” 

“My men say she has not 

been seen in Oliver’s pack or 

Ezra’s. We don’t know where 

they have her.” Beck says. 

That is what kills me the 

most. 

“Ezra’s men have been seen 

moving too.” Rodrick speaks. “Something is up and we have to be careful especially now that all other packs are watching us after we took the river packs.” 

Garret nods.“The Alphas of all other packs–excluding us, Ezra, and Oliver–had a 

meeting a day ago. I am assuming it was about our 

squabble but so far, they are 

waiting however, they are on edge. Anything could tip them over and join the fight against us.” Garret ads. 

Victor nods, looking pensive. “Send them a message. Tell 

them that this fight is between us, Oliver, and 

Ezra’s pack. If they don’t get 

involved, then there will be 

no issues with them.” 

“We can do that but trust me, 

they won’t believe it.” 

“Try it.” 

“So again, we just wait?” I ask, 

my frustration peacking. 

“I have a team that is going to try and get some more information. So yes. For 

now.” 

I am angry but I am also 

exausted. So this time, I let it 

  1. be. I have barely slept since Cass has been gone. 

When the meeting is over, I head to the place where I 

have been drowning my feelings, the bar room. 

As I walk through the halls, 

Julia suddenly pops up from 

one of the corners. 

“Colt!” 

“Julia…” I grunt. 

“I made you something.” She holds out a plate with a 

custard flan. “Remember? I 

used to make them for you 

all the time especially when you were feeling down. You’ve been looking so sad lately and I just wanted you 

to feel better.” 

I nod but I am not sure if I 

should accept it. 

“Listen, I just… I just want you to be happy again. You 

have been so sad lately and I hate it.” She says. 

“Uhm…thanks but-” 

“If you don’t want it now, I’ll put it in a container for you and you can have it when you feel like it.” She gives a big smile and all I can do is 

nod. 

“Julia!” Rodricks’s voice resonates through the hall. 

Julia jumps and quickly turns around to face him. 

“Enough. You are not 

supposed to be anywhere 

near him.” 

“But…but…” 

I give him a nod and go past them to avoid being sucked into the squabble. 

I finally make it to the bar 

room. It has been a bit more 

full of late. People have taken to drinking more in the last couple of days. 

spot Bryn with Miles. They 

don’t drink but this is where 

they usually hang out. 

“Still can’t talk?” I ask Bryn. 

She squints her eyes at me 

and mouths out. “No.” 

That is the only relief I have. 

As long as my sister can’t 

talk, I know Cass is alive. 

I get a drink and sit with 

them. Miles reads a book 

while Bryn paints her nails. I just stare out of the window. 

Dash suddenly slaps my shoulder and sits next to me. 

“Damn, you are tensed.” 

“You think?” I say with 

sarcasm. 

“I’d give you a massage but you know…it would feel 

weird for both of us.” 

“Yeah. Don’t. Thanks, but 

don’t.” 

He laughs and then turns to 

Miles and Bryn. “And what 

have you two creepers been 

up to?” 

“Creepers?” Miles asks. 

“Yeah. You are twins. Twins 

are creepy.” 

“No, we are not!” Miles says 

and Bryn holds her hands up 

as an x. 

“Are you serious?” Dashs 

asks. “Have you ever seen 

horror movies? Twins are 

always creepy in movies. 

There is that horror movie 

where those twin ghost girls 

stand in a hallway. And then 

there are those tweedle 

twins, it’s supposed to be a 

children’s movie but those 

two are creepy as f**k. Why is there always a need to say the same thing at the same time? Creepy 

motherf**kers.” 

Oh, how Cass would be 

laughing right now and probably agreeing. It makes 

me smile to think about her 

and how she would react. 

We stay here for a while. 

They do lift my spirit up a 

bit. 

When they leave, I sit alone looking out of the window. 

I close my eyes. It is hard for me to think that she is gone. When I close my eyes, 

sometimes I feel like she is 

about to talk to me, walk into the room, or touch me, put her hands around me in a 

hug. But it doesn’t happen. am left there alone. 

A hand creeps up from the 

back of my shoulder. 

I immediately open my eyes and see Skye. I am sure that 

the disappointment on my 

face is noticeable. 

“Hey, how are you holding up?” She asks. 

“I…I’m hanging in there.” 

She nods and sits next to me. 

“I can’t believe Ezra has done 

all of this. His betrayal must be hard for you.” 

“Ezra…it is not him in 

particular that upsets me. It 

is what he has done. The 

lives that he has taken are 

what hurts. Not really him being the one that betrayed me. It is the people that he 

took away.” 

She puts her hand on my 

back and rubs it. 

I don’t know how to feel 

about that. I feel like I should 

move away but…the action does comfort me. 

She nods. “I am sorry. I wish I could take the pain away.” 

There is no reason for her to 

say that. 

I shake my head. “That is not why I am upset. At least not 

at the moment. I am upset 

because of Cass. She’s been 

taken. I don’t know if she is 

safe. I…need her.” 

“Do you really…have so 

much feelings for her? You 

almost act as if she was your 

mate.” 

“Yes.” I say with no 

hesitation. “That is exactly 

how it feels.” 

“How… how did you two get 

so close?” She asks. 

“It’s a long story. I got captured by our own pack. I was imprisoned in the cells 

and she was there as well. 

She didn’t know who I was at 

the time and that helped me 

see her. She showed me who 

she really was. She wasn’t 

scared because I wasn’t Colt 

to her at that moment. I was 

a stranger…the enemy 

yet…she showed me 

compassion and truly cared.” 

I say all this remembering every single moment of it. Those little moments when 

she would look at me when I 

had barely spoken to her. 

She was scared of me but so 

curious. She looked past the 

scars and saw me. I knew I 

didn’t have to hide who I was 

with her. It was 

refreshing…and now my Angel has been taken from 

  1. me. 

“Damn them all! F**king Oliver is going to pay!” My hand slaps the table. 

She stares at me and I can 

see all manners of questions 

wanting to come out. 

“What is it?” I ask. 

She shakes her head. “It’s just 

that, you would have acted 

just like this for me once.” 

“Do you really want to get 

into that now? Do you want 

me to give you the reason 

why things are the way they 

are?” 

“No. Don’t mind me. Just 

reminiscing. By the way, 

there is something I want to give you back.” 

“What?” 

“Your mother’s ring. I still 

have it. It’s not fair. You 

should have it.” She gets up. 

“I’ll bring it by later.” 

“You can keep it.” I say going 

back to my drink. 

“No. It doesn’t seem right.” 

I give her a nod. “Fine.” 

I stay there another hour and then decide to try and get some sleep but I doubt 

I’ll find any. I had to take 

another room because Cass’s room smelled just like her and it was overwhelming. I 

won’t admit it to others but I 

found myself crying many times. 

I go past Cass’s room 

envisioning her walking out. Putting those thoughts away, the moment I enter my room, I go directly to the 

bathroom and take a hot 

shower. I finally come out feeling refreshed and with a 

towel on my lower half, I 

head to my drawers to get 

some clothes. 

“No need for that.” 

“What the f**k?!” I turn to 

see Julia. She walks up to me and pulls my towel off. 

Her hand grabs me by the back of my neck and pulls 

me into a k*ss while her 

other hand grabs my cock and starts stroking. 

Three seconds are too long 

to react to her but I am so 

shocked that it takes me that 

long. I pull away, hitting the drawers and knocking everything on top of it. 

“Colt…” She whispers. 

“STOP! I’ve had enough!” I 

take her by the arm and I am not gentle as I drag her. I open the door and throw her 

out of the room. She 

stumbles and falls right in 

front of Skye who holds a ring box that I recognize. 

“What the hell?” She mutters 

as she looks at Julia and then at me and my naked body. 

“Why do you have to be like this?” Julia whines looking up at me. “I just wanted to take the pain away.” 

“Stay out of my room! Enough is enough, Julia!” 

“Uhm…I… brought 

you…this.” Skye says showing 

me the ring case. 

I quickly take it. 

“So now you are taking gifts from her?” Julia asks. 

Skye squints her eyes at Julia. “What? What is wrong with you, stupid little girl!” 

“Stupid little girl?!” 

Taking a deep breath, I close my door and put clothes on. 

Eventually, I hear the 

commotion outside of my 

room continue. I am sure 

they are putting their hands on each other. Dragging my feet, I come out and just as I thought, they are fighting. I pull them both by the back of their clothes, separate them, and throw them. They fall on opposite sides of the 

hall. 

“I dislike you both!” I say. “I want you both to stay away from me.” 

“But-” They both try to 

complain. 

“Shut up!” I shout. “You are 

both so ridiculous! I’ve had 

enough! Stay away from 

me!” 

This is the only way to get 

through to them and I really am fed up. 

“Either of you comes near me and I’ll make you regret it. I am not f**king playing 

around!” 

Leaving them stunned, I go back to my room, slamming the door. It only takes about 

a minute for someone to 

knock on my door. 

“What the f**k is it?!” I 

scream as I open the door. 

A scared pack member 

stands there petrified. 

“Uhm…Alpha Victor and 

Alpha Garret have requested 

you.” 

Now?…must be something important. 

I rush out and when I walk 

into the room, Crow–the leader of Warrick’s rogue trackers—stands talking with 

Garret. 

“What is it?” I ask, 

interrupting and obviously 

irritated. 

“Something came up.” Garret says and motions to Crow. 

“Explain.” 

“Alpha Warrick secretly 

tasked me to look for his 

daughter.” He says. 

“Just like him. He never 

trusts us.” Garret mutters. 

“Well, like you, I hadn’t found a single damn thing. That is why I went to…well… let’s just call it a town of a 

sort. I place where I knew 

there was a high chance of 

gathering information.” 

“And?” I ask with impatience. 

“Well, I was surprised to find 

a woman who…resembles 

her.” 

“Resembles? You know what 

she looks like. If you are not 

sure, then it is not her.” 

“Well…this woman…was 

wearing a mask.” 

“A mask?” 

He nods. “It was bolted to her 

head.” 

I am confused. We all are. 

This does not sound like her. 

“Crow…you are being vague 

and I don’t like it.” Victor 

says. 

“It is a place where they sell 

people and they make them fight. An arena. I could not get much information without being suspicious but the guards believed she had some special power and that is why an iron mask was 

bolted onto her.” 

I look at the others. 

“Crow, do you believe this is 

her?” Garret asks with 

urgency. 

“If you value my judgment…I believe that it is a high 

chance that it is her.” That is 

all I need. “Where is this 

place!?”
