Scarred Alphas by Norisha May
Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

“Who…are you? 

“Honora!” I get up and press myself against the bars. 

She recoils back and I 

quickly back away just a bit 

to not scare her. 

“I…know you.” She says. “I can feel that power of yours.” 

I nod. “I’m Cass. We met at 

your shop when Lotus 

brought me to you.” 

“Yes…what in the world are 

you doing here?” She asks grabbing the bars as if she is checking how sturdy they 

are. 

“I was sold by an enemy Alpha. Can you help me?” 

She looks to the side at all 

the guards and then looks back at me shaking her head. 

“How can I help you? I can’t directly get you out, I’m just 

a witch.” 

“A witch?” Kanda asks 

sounding amused, listening 

in to our conversation. “You have magical powers?” 

“Well yes but probably not as 

you think. I can create 

magical potions and enchant items. Use the power of crystals to help someone heal a disease or help with 

dreams.” She looks at me as 

she says this. “I don’t wield realm–bending abilities as 

they embellish on books and 

movies.” 

I nod. “I know but you can 

still help. Tell my pack where I am. I am sure they are 

looking for me but they 

don’t know I am here.” 

She slowly nods looking 

thoughtful. “Yes, I can do 

that.” 

I look at her with confusion. 

“What are you doing here anyway?” 

She looks a bit ashamed now. 

“I come here to get 

ingredients for my potions. 

They sell things here that…well…are not sold at 

other places.” She holds up a small rucksack bag. “Kidney 

stones passed from a 

human.” 

My face scrunches in disgust as she nervously smiles. I really hope that the potion I 

drank from her didn’t 

contain that. 

She sighs. “Listen. I will help 

you but I can’t leave now. This place is not open to just anyone and every time I am here I am always being 

watched. Even now. So I 

have to play this off 

somehow. Also, my room is 

already paid for two days, if I 

were to suddenly try to 

leave, it would create 

suspicion, plus now I have to 

stay for these macabre 

games.” 

“Why?” 

“I have to take a bet on you 

now. It would look too 

suspicious if I just left after talking to you.” 

Her eyes go to the market. I follow her stare and see a 

man staring at us. 

“See.” 

I nod. 

“Do what you have to and 

what you can. Please, just 

make sure that my pack 

knows.” 

She nods as she puts her hand on mine holding the 

cell bar. “I will help you. I 

helped your mother once. I will not abandon you.” 

She…helped my mother? 

“Also…what is it with that 

mask?” She asks looking 

confused. 

“Oh…they bolted it onto me 

because of my power.” 

“Mh…no fools. But if you 

manage to take it off, you’d 

be such a power to be trifled 

with.” 

“What?” 

“I can seces your power. It is strong though there seems to 

be a blockage inside of you.” She mutters. “Anyway, I will leave in two days and I will 

go directly to your pack.” 

“Thank you.” 

She looks at the guards that 

are near her. “Excuse me, 

where are bets being taken? I 

would like to bet on this 

woman. 

Right this way.” The guard says and leads her away. She 

looks back at me giving me a 

reassuring stare. 

I close my eyes and sit, sliding down the bars. 

Please, please let this work. 

“Well, that is lucky.” Kanda 

says. 

I take her hand. “If this 

works, I am freeing all of us.” 

She smiles. “I would greatly appreciate it.” 

About an hour passes and we are brought food but I barely eat. My stomach is in 

shambles. I feel like I will 

throw up again. My nerves 

are getting the best of me. 

“You need to eat. You need 

strength for tonight.” 

“I know, Kanda. I just can’t right now.” Saying this to her, my attention is drawn by a 

woman who stands next to a 

guard. She speaks to the 

guard and then starts pacing, looking at everyone in the 

cages. 

The reason I am so drawn to 

her is because I have seen 

her before. I try my best not 

to react but I am shocked 

when I realize that it is Ezra’s 

witch. 

She stares directly at me. My 

fist clenched. If it wasn’t 

because bars are separating 

us, I’d be tearing her apart 

right now. 

She stares at me and seems 

intrigued but the guard next to her points to Kanda. “She is the champion with multiple wins under her.” 

The witch now ignores me 

and gives her attention to 

Kanda. 

If she is here, then Ezra 

might be too. 

I look around to see if I am 

right but it is only her. 

This place really draws magical beings in. 

“What is it?” Kanda asks 

noticing my change. 

“That woman. I don’t like 

her.” 

“Why?” 

“Let’s just say that this one is 

not a good witch.” 

“Another witch?” 

I nod. 

“What about this one?” I hear 

the witch say as she looks at 

1. me. “What’s with the mask?” 

“Our Alpha likes to make things interesting. Basically 

sew that mask to her face for 

the theatrics. She is new and 

won the last fight.” 

She stares at me but doesn’t 

seem to recognize me. 

I keep a straight face but it is hard to not want to spit at her or something like that. I beg that she doesn’t get close 

because I think I won’t be 

able to resist myself. I’ll pull 

her by the hair and break 

her n*ck if I get the chance. 

“Interesting.” She says taking a step closer. 

I watch her with intent. Two 

more steps and I got her. 

To my displeasure, as she is about to take another step, 

the guard leads her away to the bidding table. 

I watch her. She makes a 

bet–I am guessing towards 

Kanda–and then vanishes. 

I curse and now I am in a 

foul mood. I slide back to my 

seat and take my plate of food but all I do is move 

things around, unable to eat. 

“What did that woman do to 

you? You seemed like you 

wanted to hurt her.” 

“No, I wanted to kill her.” 

“Why?” 

“That witch helped someone 

hurt me. Someone who is 

my enemy and now she 

works for him.” 

“I see. Well, you really have 

some kind of luck. To see 

two people you know in one day and two witches at that.” 

“Luck… that’s one way to see it. To be honest, my life 

seems like a big joke 

sometimes. Like as if 

someone is pulling the 

strings on my life and I am 

just a puppet in it all.” 

She nods. “Life can feel like 

that sometimes.” 

Pushing the plate of food to 

the side, I cover my nose feeling like I am about to 

gag. 

“Still not feeling it?” She asks. 

I shake my head. “No.” 

I notice her eyes going down to my stomach. She looks back into my eyes and smiles. “If you don’t eat, you 

are going to get sick and 

then you are really going to start throwing up.” 

“I’ll start tomorrow. Let’s just 

get this day out of the way.” 

She drops the issue and we spend the rest of the day resting. When the sun is 

starting to go down, we are 

taken to the barracks to get 

ready but half of the women 

and men are taken to 

different locations. Which I 

find strange. 

“Why were they taken away?” 

I ask Kanda. 

“They were taken to different barracks. It most likely 

means that they are our 

opponents. 

“Oh…so you and I won’t be fighting each other.” 

“No.” 

I had not given this much thought till now. At any moment she or Sheril could 

be my opponents. I don’t 

think I could hurt them. 

I chose the same gear I did before and when I am ready, 

I sit in a corner waiting for 

the inevitable. 

Kanda on the other hand 

chooses different gear this 

time and seems lighter. 

“Why are you not wearing 

your gear?” 

“They said I might be able to 

shift this fight.” 

“Oh! Right!” 

“You should really do 

something with your hair.” 

She says walking up to me. 

“My hair?” 

She nods. “It is long and easy 

to take advantage of.” 

“You think so?” 

She sits behind me and starts 

braiding it into one long 

braid. 

“Try this.” She says. 

“Thank you. It feels much 

lighter.” 

She nods with a smile. “You have very beautiful hair.” 

“You think so? Growing up, I was always made fun of because of my hair.” 

“Children will be children. 

Don’t dwell on that.” 

I like Kanda. She is a really sweet woman though she looks scary because of how 

tough she looks. 

There are two other girls 

here with us and that 

includes the girl that always 

sleeps in our cell. 

She doesn’t have that blanket 

over her so now we can see 

her better. She has straight 

thin blond hair. She is very 

pale, small, skinny, and looks 

frail. 

“Hey, what is your name?” I 

ask her. 

She looks at me, startled. 

“Maribel.” She says. 

“Uhm… are you…going to go 

out like that?” I ask her. 

She only wears the white drags we wear every day. 

She looks away, shrugs, and 

then walks towards the 

weapons. 

“Will…she be okay?” I 

whisper. 

“Mh…seems like she doesn’t 

have much will to live.” 

“That’s sad.” 

We watch as Maribel slides 

her hand across the huge long sword. It is almost the same length as her small frame. To our surprise, she 

picks it up effortlessly but 

then lets it hit the ground 

and drags it behind her. 

“…the girl is…weird.” 

“What is she anyway? She 

almost smelled human at 

some point but now she doesn’t. I can’t ever really 

pinpoint what she is.” 

“Yeah…” Kanda agrees but she 

also has no idea. 

The door suddenly opens 

and many guards walk in, 

more than usual. 

The main guard looks at a paper in his hands and then 

looks around the room. “You 

three will be fighting 

twice…if you survive.” 

He points to me, Kanda, and 

Maribel. 

“What?!” Kanda and I ask. 

“You will be opening the game with a three–on–three match. If you survive, you 

will fight again on single 

matches tomorrow.” 

“That’s ridiculous!” I shout. 

“Shut up and walk!” 

Maribel started walking after 

the guard without any 

complaints, still dragging 

that huge sword with her. Taking a deep hardy breath, Kanda and I put our special 

gear on my beaded nose 

and mouth mask and Kanda 

her circle. I then follow 

along with Kanda behind 

1. me. We are led to the middle 

of the arena where the crowd 

cheers when they see us. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s 

start this show!” The 

announcer starts to speak. 

“First we have The Maiden! 

This will be her first fight. 

Let’s see how she fairs.” 

That must be Maribel. 

“Then we have The Persian 

Princess! Made her debut last 

game and won to fight 

another day! And then our 

female champion, The 

Nubian Pharaoh! Undefeated 

to this day! What a show this 

will be!” 

A guard comes close and 

takes Kanda’s iron collar off. I 

am glad because this might 

give us an advantage. 

I skim the crowd. Like 

before, it is not a huge crowd though the stands are filled. 

There do seem to be a bit 

more people this time 

around. 

I am happy when I see 

Honora. She waves at me, 

and puts her fist in the air mouthing “Win!” 

I smile but soon that smile 

falls when I spot Zao. He stands up there as if he was king and next to him is the witch…with Ezra right by her 

side. 

My heart drops and I stumble almost falling.
