Scarred Alphas by Norisha May novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 

“You…are glad that I am okay?” He asks and I 

immediately nod. 

“Yes. I am.” 

Warrick stares at me. I can 

tell that he does not know 

what to say or do to the 

display of my affection towards him. 

He has done terrible things but…he was just a broken 

man all this time. Of course 

that does not excuse his 

actions. But I do feel 

sympathy for him. 

“Did you know…you were a 

miracle child?” He asks. 

“I was a what?” 

“A miracle child. That’s what 

I used to call you.” 

“W–why?” 

He stares at me for a few 

seconds and I can tell that he 

is debating something in his 

head. 

“You…you were born sick. No, not sick. I…I don’t know 

how to explain it.” 

“Maybe we should leave this 

for later.” Lotus interrupts. 

“Why?” Warrick asks. 

“Yeah, why? I want to hear 

this.” 

Lotus doesn’t respond. She looks away and almost looks 

nervous. 

Thankfully, Warrick 

continues. “You, well…you were born with your wolf 

soul.” 

I am confused. 

“What do you mean? Don’t 

we all have the soul of a wolf 

inside of us?” 

“Well yes, but they don’t 

come forth until we come of 

age. Eighteen for all of us 

and there is a reason for that. 

It is what was happening 

with you. When you were born, you had your wolf already. Your little b*dy could not handle the power and it would try to change. I remember seeing claws on your little fingertips and patches of fur on your skin. That is an image that always stayed with me.” 

“H–how…how is that 

possible?” 

“It has never been heard of.” 

He says. “You were given 

only days to live. Your 

mother was devastated…we 

both were.” 

“How…what happened? How 

did I survive?” 

“They were wrong. The doctors were wrong. On the fourth day when I came to see you and your mother, you were perfect. No signs of your wolf. It was as if it was 

never there.” 

“Just like that?” 

He nods. “My miracle child. I 

always thought that the goddess herself blessed you. 

You did not have that 

birthmark on your chest 

when you were born but you did that day. As if it was a 

sign that she had touched 

you, blessed you.” 

“Blessed?…” 

He nods as he closes his eyes, readying himself to rest. 

“Yes…” 

I can see him dosing off but I have so many questions. 

“But how? How did I 

suddenly live?” 

I can see his breathing has deepened. 

“You…were my pride and joy.” He mutters. 

I look at Lotus who stares at 

me with a weary expression. 

“I have never seen him as 

happy as he was the day you were born.” She says. 

I stare at her inquisitively. 

“You know something, don’t 

you?” 

She continues to stare at me 

but keeps quiet. 

It suddenly clicks in my 

head. “Honora…” 

When I mutter the witch’s 

name, that is when Lotus 

looks away. 

“It was her! She helped my 

mother. She…she saved me.” 

Lotus stays quiet and that 

confirms it. 

“Tell me what happened. 

Please.” 

She looks at Warrick and 

with a sigh, she tilts her 

head, motioning for me to 

follow her out. 

We leave Father with guards 

and head to the sunroom 

where tea is prepared for us. 

“Yes…” She starts. “I found 

Honora for your mother. 

Your mother was devastated and she was prepared to do 

anything to save you. Even if 

it meant using magic. Your 

father never liked the idea of 

witches so we kept it secret 

from him.” 

“What did Honora do to save 

me?” 

“I don’t know. The ritual or spell only allowed Honora and your mother with you to be present. I waited outside 

of the room.” 

“Wait, so she did not help 

you to conceive Victor as you 

said.” 

“No. I…lied. I’m sorry.” 

That doesn’t really bother 

1. me. 

“This means that…maybe she 

does know what is 

happening with my powers. Maybe it is even because of the spell or whatever she did to me as a child that my powers do not function properly.” 

“Are you going back to her?” 

She asks. 

“Yes. I have to. I need to find 

out more.” 

She looks a bit worried. 

“What is wrong?” 

“It’s just… I never really liked us relying on a witch’s magic. It is not natural and though 

Honora might be good, magic is unpredictable.” 

“That did not stop you from helping my mother.” 

“I know but…when your mother left, she was…crazed. 

She had a crazed look on 

her. I did not understand 

why she was so… frazzled 

and I still don’t. At first, I 

thought that Warrick had done something to her. But when she disappeared, he 

was shocked and confused.” 

“So you don’t think that it 

was because of him that she 

left?” 

“I…I don’t know anymore. 

She was muttering things, 

weird things.” 

Maybe my mother had 

another reason to leave. 

Lotus continues. “When we 

were with Honora that day at her shop…a memory of 

something your mother said 

suddenly stood out to me. 

“Never trust a witch” That is 

something she said and 

maybe she was right.” 

I nod. “I get that we should 

be careful. But I do need to 

talk to Honora again.” 

She nods. “Okay. I 

understand. But I am 

coming with you when you do. Azalea… Casseopea, you don’t remember but you were also like a daughter to me. I used to watch you all the time and you and Victor were close. Being almost the 

same age, you two used to 

play together all the time. So I am coming with you. For Dahlia, I will be there for you just as she would be if she was here herself.” 

I can’t help the big smile that creeps on my face. I give her a hug, a much–needed hug. 

It almost feels as if I am 

hugging my own mother. 

“Thank you.” 

I am happy. This makes me happy. That I got to meet all these people…my family. 

“I will have a talk with 

Honora and set up a time to 

meet with her. Now…you 

need to start your Alpha duties soon. Take today to 

rest. I am sure that tomorrow 

my boy can help you adjust 

to it all.” 

I nod and do as she says. The first thing I want to do is to 

check up on James. 

I knock on his door and 

open it since I am sure he is 

not going to answer. He 

stands near the window 

looking out. 

“James?” 

This time he actually looks 

back at me. 

“C–Cass?” 

I nod and walk in. 

He looks back out. “It is a 

beautiful day out.” He says. 

“Yes, it is. Why don’t you go 

for a stroll?” 

I don’t think he even knew I 

was gone. 

He stays quiet for a moment and then responds. 

“Everything reminds me of 

her.” 

I sit on the bed quietly trying 

not to force conversation. 

We stay quiet for a few 

minutes and he doesn’t seem 

like he is going to talk 

anymore. 

“Did you eat?” I ask him. 

“Yes. You ask me the same 

thing every time.” 

“I know. Just want to know that you are still taking care of yourself.” 

“I should be taking care of you. That is what she would 

have wanted. But here I am, 

a broken man who can’t help 

anyone.” 

“Listen-” 

“I’ll be fine.” He says. 

“James-” 

“I’ll be fine.” He repeats. 

With a big sigh, I nod. “Okay. Try to get some fresh air.” 

I get up and let him be. 

I stop in front of the man that guards his door. 

“How is he really doing?” I 

ask him. 

“He…he has moments of 

outbursts where he starts 

screaming. Sometimes in anger…sometimes in 

sadness. But, it is 

understandable.” 

the man looks sympathetic. I 

am sure he has a mate and 

can’t imagine losing her like James lost Lauren. 

I nod. “Okay.” 

I make my way down the stairs. The front doors always tend to be opened during the day so I stop when I see Kanda standing outside. I 

walk up to her and see her staring at Victor and Garret 

who talk in the distance. 

“What you doing?” I ask her. 

“Mh…watching those two 

hunk of men.” 

“WHAAAAT?” I am stupid. 

The way that caught me off 

guard makes me sound dumb. 

“I didn’t know men in your 

pack would be so 

good–looking.” 

“Th–those are my brothers. 

“Hmh…interesting.” She says. 

“I would love to take one of
