Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 77

"I am ready." Honora says.

"We have not discussed payment yet." Lotus says.

"As I have previously stated, the mother..." She points at me. "her mother has already paid enough to cover all of this. We had a deal she and I. That is all I need. Now please, come."

She leads us to the room behind the store.

"Lie here just like I told you."

I take my shirt off and stay with just my braw as she told me to do before. Colt helps me up the table and I lie on it as Honora tells me to do. Poppy is here with us too.

With all of them here I feel safe.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask Honora as I lie there.

"If...ever I were to...have a child, would it be possible that this child could be born the same way I was?"

"Very possible. In fact, it would be a really high chance that one of your future children could be born just as you were." Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net. Visit FindNovel.net to read the complete chapters for free.Great, more to worry about.

"That can be talked about whenever the time comes, right now all you have to do is relax. Let's focus on this matter and let me do all the work."

She puts some sort of oil on her hand and rubs it all over her fingers. She then closes her eyes as if she is concentrating and then moves her hands over my body as if she is rubbing them on me but she is not touching me at all, they just hover over me. "Mh...you have several blockages. Here..." Her hand hovers over my abdomen and then moves up to my chest. "Here, and here." She finishes, hovering above my head.

She grabs her mortar, moves the pestle away, and dabs her fingers in it. She grabs a mixture of herbs and oils she mixed and ground together just before we started and then places a small amount on my abdomen and rubs it all over my skin on the area. It is cool, like those lotions I use for aching muscles.

She keeps her eyes closed and starts chanting. It is strange to hear. They are words I can't understand. As she does this, I start to feel like I am going to be sick. I want to throw up but nothing really comes up.

She continues chanting as she rubs the oil for a few more minutes.

"How are you feeling?" Colt whispers in my ear.

"I'm okay."

Honora finally moves to my chest. She takes more of the concoction she made and rubs it on my chest area. Over the ribcage, sternum and clavicle area. As she rubs, she chants again. I start feeling burning inside. As if it was acid reflux. “Is this normal?" I ask her.

"What I am feeling..."

For a second, she pauses from the chanting to respond "Yes" and then continues.

After she is done, she moves to my head. She rubs the gritty oil on my forehead and starts chanting again.

Now I feel like I am getting a migraine.

“Uh..." I moan. feeling the pain. Once she is done, she hands me a small flask.

"Drink this."

For a moment I hesitate but then do as she tells me.

"The blocked nodes have been unblocked. Now you need to rest."

"It all hurts." I complain.

She nods. "I know and it is going to get worse before it gets better. You need rest."

"Okay, so that is it?" Colt asks, helping me up.

"Yes. If anything comes up, I am just a call away. I will also come to check up on you soon."

"How will we know that it worked?" Poppy asks.

"Once she is feeling better, she can give her power a try."

"Just like that?"

"Yes. Trust me. I am good at what I do." She says.

"Thank you." Lotus says helping Colt lead me out.

We ride back home and I can't help but doze off in the middle of the drive even though I am in pain.

"...Don't worry sweetheart...mommy won't

let anyone hurt you..." A woman's voice echoes in my head but I can't hear everything she says. "...will never get you..." The voice is soothing and seems familiar. When the voice is gone, all I feel is cold as if I was in the middle of a freezing blizzard but all I see is darkness. I feel a sense of anguish as that voice echoes away.

Then I suddenly open my eyes. It is bright. I have to close my eyes as the light stings. When I open them again, the light is less bright and now I can see.

I am in a room with creme-colored walls.

I have seen this room before.

I lift my head to see Colt sitting on a chair next to the bed I lie on.

The pack infirmary.

"When did we get here." I say but it is hard to talk.

He looks up at me with relief.

"Cass!" He holds my hand and a welcoming warmth travels through it.

"What happened? Why am I here?"

"You had a seizure in the car."

"I what?"

"You were uncontrollably shaking and then when you got here, you had a fever."

The doctor walks in. "How are you feeling?"

"I...uhm...tired."

"No pain?"

I shake my head. "No."

"Good. Now I told you not to exert yourself in your condition."

My eyes widen. I immediately look at Colt who now looks pissed, he lets go of my hand and looks away.

He knows.

I sigh. "You know.'

"Yeah." He says, sounding angry.

I narrow my eyes at the doctor.

"We had to give you a medication that could harm the fetus. So we had to ask for his permission and in doing so, we had to tell him the truth. The good news is that the fetus is unharmed. Growing strong every day."

That's good news but... shit!

"I know you are the Alpha,'

the doctor says. "...and I know that you have many responsibilities but I am going to ask you to please refrain yourself from doing anything that will harm you or the baby."

I look down and nod.

"I'll send our nurse with some medication to help you sleep later. I am keeping you here until tomorrow to make sure that everything is okay." He walks out leaving me with an angry-looking Colt. "Colt-"

"Explain to me why. Why didn't you tell me?" He asks.

"I... didn't want to be worried over."

"What? What does that even mean?"

"You- I knew that if you found out, you'd be overprotective and I mean way over the top."

"Of course, I'd be overprotective! You are the love of my life and that is my child!" He raises his voice but he does not yell at me. I can see his frustration. "How long were you going to wait to tell me?"

I don't know how to answer that.

"I am sorry." That is all I can say.

He looks away.

"Colt."

"I am staying here with you but I do not want to talk anymore right now."

"Colt-"

"Cass! I need my space to think. But I don't want to leave you alone here. So please, give me some silence."

"O-okay." I say in a small voice.

I feel guilty. I know what I did was wrong. I should have told him. He had a right to know. He should not have found out like this.

Honora suddenly walks in and I am surprised to see her.

"You are here?!"

She smiles. "Yes. Lotus called me immediately after you left and told me what happened. No one I have ever treated like I did you has had a reaction like yours.

I can only assume it is because of the child that you carry which leads me to believe that he or she will be born with powers such as yours. Once the cat was out of the bag for you, Lotus, and your mate..." She motions to Colt. "...thought that it would be better if I stayed close for a while."

It scares me to think that my baby will be born just as was. I would not have survived if not for Honora so

I do feel much better that she is here.

"Thank you." I tell her.

"No need to thank me, I am here for anything you need."

I am fussed over by everyone during the remanding of the day. My brothers, Lotus, Poppy, Kanda, Dash, everyone. My father would have come to see me too if not because he can't walk or be moved.

Lotus says that he has been asking about me non-stop and she said that she had never seen such happiness on his face when she told him about my pregnancy.

I am happy that this child is wanted by so many people.

He or she will never feel unloved.

When night comes, Colt moves one of the other beds next to mine and links them together, then lies next to me.

"Colt-"

"Unless you need help with something, I am not talking to you about our situation just yet." He says, calmly.

I sigh. "Can I have some water."

"Yes." He gets up and fetches me a cup of water.

After I drink it, we lie next to each other and get some sleep. The next day, the doctor says I am all good to go. Of course, he leaves me with instructions on things I should and shouldn't do.

I head back to my room where I get a good shower and get ready for the day but Colt watches me as if he is just yet." He says, calmly.

I sigh. "Can I have some water."

"Yes." He gets up and fetches me a cup of water.

After I drink it, we lie next to each other and get some sleep. The next day, the doctor says I am all good to go. Of course, he leaves me with instructions on things I should and shouldn't do.

I head back to my room where I get a good shower and get ready for the day but Colt watches me as if he is waiting to see what I am going to do.

"Let me guess. You don't want me to go train."

"What did the doctor say?"

He asks but he was there, he knows exactly what the doctor said.

I sigh. "Not a good idea."

Colt-looking satisfied-doesn't say anything else.

With another heavy sigh, I go to the dining room to eat breakfast. We eat in silence and because of this, the people here sound louder than usual. After breakfast, we start to head to the war room but I can't take this silent treatment from Colt.

"Are you never going to talk to me again?"

"What do you mean? Isn't this what you wanted?"

"What?! Why would you say that?"

"I am not fussing over you, right? That's what you wanted."

"I told you I was sorry."

"That doesn't take away the hurt that I felt when I found out from someone else that you were pregnant and then in the worst situation ever."

I look down feeling ashamed.

"I love you, Cass. And I am beyond happy knowing that we are going to be parents. But I am also hurt right now. I thought you trusted me. Would I have tried to stop you from doing something that I think would cause you and the baby harm? I would definitely try to talk you out of it. But I would always respect your decision in the end."

Looking down, I nod.

He puts a finger under my chin and makes me look up at him.

"I love you Cass but I am not happy and I am hurt and I am not sure that I will be happy again in a long while...but... I am here, I will always be here."
