Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 

“I see.” the 

witch–Honora—says. 

We have explained everything to her and now we watch her pace by us as 

she thinks. She walks to the 

front door, locks it, and turns a sign around that says “closed“. 

“Follow me to the back. This 

requires all my attention.” She says, walking behind the counter and through a door. 

“Sit.” She walks around a 

round table. 

We all sit around the table 

except for her. She walks up 

to a few shelves and starts 

grabbing things. 

“The only way this man could enter your dreams like this depends on two things. Obviously, a witch is helping 

him and he has a connection 

to you somehow, a link.” 

“That… shouldn’t be it. We 

severed that link. He was my 

mate.” I tell her. 

“Contrary to what you might believe, the severing of a 

mate bond does not happen instantaneously. Yes, you cut 

the cord but the connection lingers for a little while longer. It slowly dissipates without a tether until finally 

it is completely gone. This 

man and witch must have 

taken advantage of the 

fading connection that was 

still there.” 

“What can we do?” Poppy 

asks. 

“It is a simple remedy to 

sever whatever connection 

lingers.” 

“Wait,” I say. “How exactly 

can he hurt me in this dream 

state, my mouth has still not healed yet and also, why 

can’t I ever move?” 

“It is a magical wound and so it will take longer to heal. Be glad it wasn’t a mortal 

wound. As for the paralysis, it is most likely this other witch’s doing.” 

“Wait…if I could move…I 

could hurt him?” 

Her stare lingers on me for few moments and then she nods. “Yes. I supposed you 

could. Would that be what 

you want? It is doable.” 

“Yes!” I quickly say. 

“But wouldn’t this be 

dangerous?” Colt asks. 

“It is a chance to kill Ezra and 

I am taking it.” 

“But Cass=” 

“I am not changing my 

mind, Colt.” 

“Cass, please think about this 

first.” 

“I’ve made up my mind. I 

need to do this.” 

I am not letting this chance 

go to waste 

I turn from him ending this 

discussion. 

“What do I need?” I ask 

Honora. 

She holds a golden amulet with a green tone in the middle of a gold plate. “Wear this when you go to sleep. Whatever spell they have on you will vanish and you will be able to freely move.” I 

hold the amulet and after 

inspecting it, I put it on. She 

then holds her other hand 

out with a blue flask. “This 

will sever the connection 

completely. Take it when 

you are ready to end it.” I 

take the flask, it contains liquid inside. 

“Thank you,” I say. 

“It is no bother. Now, the 

matter of payment.” Honora 

asks. 

“Of course.” Lotus nods and 

Poppy takes her purse out. They walk out to the front of the store where Poppy pays. I can only assume that it is Warrick’s money. 

I stare at the potion in my hands wondering how this is going to taste. 

“Cass, are you really doing 

this?” Colt asks. 

My attention now goes to 

him. “Yes. I am. If there is a 

chance that I can end it, then 

I am taking it.” 

Colt shakes his head. “This is 

dangerous. He can hurt you 

too.” 

“But I’ll have the upper hand. 

He won’t know that I’ll be 

able to move.” 

Colt sighs. 

I put a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him. 

“Look, if it doesn’t work the 

first time, then I’ll take the 

potion and end it. But I have to take this chance, Colt. Wouldn’t you take it if it was you?” 

With a scowl on his face, he reluctantly nods. 

I get on my tippy toes and put my arms around him. “I know you are worried but 

please trust me.” 

With another big sigh, he 

hugs me and whispers. “Okay.” 

A bell suddenly rings almost 

in 

my ear. Bryn waves the 

bell she bought getting our 

attention and points at the 

dry eraser board that says 

“Let’s go already” 

“Can you give her her voice back ‘cause she is just as annoying without it,” Dash says. The board goes flying directly to his face again but 

this time when Dash ducks, 

the board flies past him and connects with Miles’s 

forehead. 

“Son of a-! That hurt, Bryn!” 

She stomps on the floor, taking the board back, and 

writes “Sorry” but has an 

attitude about it. 

Shaking my head, I leave them arguing and walk up to the register where Poppy 

pays. 

“Anything special I need to do when using the amulet or drinking the potion?” I ask Honora as she rings Poppy 

1. up. 

“The amulet you can just put it on and when you go to sleep it will work. The potion is actually pretty bitter so I suggest a glass of water in 

hand. Don’t throw it up.” She smiles. “You know, you 

look…familiar. How old are 

you?” 

“Twenty–three,” I reply. 

Something in her eyes 

flashes. She nods. “I see.” Her 

stare falls on Lotus. They 

share a peculiar glance. 

“You look just like your 

mother.” She says. 

“My-…you knew my 

mother?” 

She nods. “Yes. A very gentle lady with so much will in 

her.” 

I smile as the thought of her 

enters my head. 

Bryn’s bell rings again getting everyone’s attention. 

The board in her hand reads 

“Can she help me with my voice?” 

We look at Honora who 

clearly doesn’t know what 

Bryn is talking about. 

“Huh? That’s a good 

question.” 

Though Lotus seems 

hesitant to talk about my 

power, we still tell Honora what happened. 

She looks at me with 

wonder. “Curious…this 

power of yours.” 

“Can you help her?” Poppy 

asks. 

“I am not sure I can undo it. But maybe I can help you control this power.” 

“No.” Lotus immediately 

says. “It is not a good thing to resort to magic or unnatural things for everything. Let’s figure this out first and then we can deal with your power and help Bryn without 

magic.“

Setting 

12:55 

Chapter 54 

As enticing as Honora’s suggestion sounds, Lotus is 

right. I’m not sure I want to mess with magic when this 

power of mine has been so unpredictable already. 

“Very well. But I’ll be here if you need me and I have a 

feeling that you will.” She 

says. 

With a riled–up 

Bryn–pissed off that we 

didn’t take Honora’s 

offer–we say our thanks and 

head back home. 

Once at the pack, we explain 

to Warrick how it all went. 

He actually agreed with my plan and said that it was a smart move. I felt a bit proud at that but later had to put my foot down when they all wanted to watch me sleep. I completely refused and told them that I would only have Colt with me and Serge could stay outside of the 

door if they wanted 

someone more there. 

Now alone in Colt’s room, he 

places a glass of water on the 

end table next to me. “Can’t 

take any unnecessary risks, okay?” 

“I won’t. I have one try and if 

that doesn’t work, then I am 

out.” 

“And can you get out?” 

I nod. “Yes. Pain seems to do 

the trick.” 

He takes a deep breath in. I 

know he doesn’t like the 

idea. 

He k*sses my head and 

hands me the amulet. 

“Ready?” 

I give him a nod and put the amulet around my neck. I pull Colt in and let him fall 

on the bed next to me. 

Cuddling, we wait for sleep 

to take me. I can hear Colt 

breathe in my ear. 

“I love you. Be careful.” 

“I will.” 

After what seems like an 

eternity, I am met with the white room. I immediately see Ezra sitting on the brown 

leather sofa. He 

nonchalantly stares at me 

with a knife in his hand. I 

stay unmoving except for my pinky which I wiggle to test if the amulet really 

works and it does. 

“You kept me waiting.” He 

says. 

“Wasn’t really looking 

forward to coming back.” I 

say. 

“Yet, here you are.” 

“Didn’t have a choice.” 

“Mh…now where were we?” 

“Stop, please don’t do this.” I 

plea, acting scared. 

He gets up with a big smile. “Just like that, beg me.” 

He kneels next to the couch I 

am on and puts the knife on 

the ground. I contemplate 

 

whether to immediately take it but instead, I figure that maybe I can get just a bit 

more information out of 

him. 

“How are you doing this?” I 

ask him. 

“I have very powerful 

friends.” 

“Why resort to this? 

Wouldn’t you want this done 

in real life?” 

“This is real life.” 

“You know what I mean.” 

“That is hard to do.” 

“Why?” 

“I’m not a patient man. I’ve been waiting for you guys to make your move. I can’t keep waiting till you decide to attack the river packs to get to me. How long will that take? If I can have you now 

like this, then I will. I’ll ruin 

you.” 

So he suspects we are planning an attack. Garret 

was correct, Ezra is no fool. 

Ezra gets on top of me and latches his lips to my neck. 

“Miles told us about a witch. 

Is she the one who is doing 

all this?” 

He pulls back looking a bit angry. “My f**king little brother. When I get my 

hands on him, he’s dead.” 

“You’ve lost your mind, killing your family. Did she 

put you up to this?” 

“Oh, I am very sane.” He smiles and drops down again to k*ss my shoulder. 

His hands start roaming my b*dy and as he does this, I eye the knife on the floor. 

“Are Kacey and your mother 

still alive?” I ask. 

“Don’t know why you care 

but yes.” 

“Why did you kill her…why 

did you kill Lauren?” My 

heart hurts as I ask him this. 

For a few seconds, he is distracted k*ssing me, going 

down to my breasts, and then, lifting my shirt he 

k*sses my stomach. 

“It wasn’t planned.” He finally says. “I was so angry that I 

didn’t realize what I had 

done til I did it. But… I’d do 

it all over again now 

knowing how much pain it brought you.” 

Gritting my teeth, I whisper. “I am going to kill you.” 

“Yeah…” He lifts his head 

and smiles. “And how are 

you planning to do that 

up 

when you can even lift a finger?” 

“Can’t I?” I ask. 

He keeps his smile up but I 

can see how he is suddenly doubting. 

Before he can realize it, I 

knee him in the nuts. He 

shouts and rolls down from 

1. me. I get up and hurdle myself to the knife but soon feel Ezras weigh on me. I drag myself, my fingers just inches away from the knife while Ezra makes his way up to me, also dragging himself. When I feel him right 

behind me, I elbow him in the face. He staggers and I 

quickly grab the knife. Hurdling myself back, I stab him on the side where his 

waist meets his hips. 

He screams in pain but 

before I can take it out and 

stab him again, a strange 

woman suddenly appears. 

Black wavy hair, black eyes, 

and small in stature, more 

like a human. 

She stares at me, her eyes blazing, and screams “What 

have you done!”
