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 

  1. 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.” 

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 

b*dy 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. 

187 

“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 

  1. 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.”
