Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV The report in my hand seems to burn into my palm. There have been more deaths over the last two weeks. Now, I am beginning to look like a demonic Alpha wishing for the death of his pack members. I had stood my ground against hiring healers since our pack was devoid of one. The doctors, as suspected, couldn’t come up with anything to help out. And Ezra seems to be keeping malice with me because of my response the other day. Everyone else cares about the pack more than I do. The door to the study opened, letting in Ezra. Huffing, I put the tablet on the table. “Took you long enough.” I snorted. “I can still go back if that is the attitude you intend to put up. After all, I am not the Beta.” He responded, staring blankly. “That’s okay. You don’t need to act out of place. I am sorry for acting the way I did the other day. It appears we have a serious case on our hands to deal with. I don’t want to call out to your uncle, and he wouldn’t spare me the judgmental look.” “So, what have you decided?” “I think we should get the healers on board. I am not comfortable with the rise in death. I hope they are worthy of all of this stress. If not, the pack would need to be closed down, and then I commit suicide for being a failed Alpha.” “Are you trying to be funny?” “Just giving you a heads up. Get the call through and tell me what we have to work with.” “This is a good decision, Gael. There is no need to start regretting it. I will get on with the calls.” He said, standing up.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As he approached the door, it opened abruptly with Gemma behind it. The both of them exchanged a spiteful glance before passing by each other. I don’t think I would have this much contempt for my cousins if we lived together. The distance between us is because they chose to live far from me, refusing to associate with me because of the life I have decided to live. Which is understandable; my parents might have disowned me, too. But the case of Ezra and Gemma would forever surprise me. They practically wine and dine together under the same roof. “Hey, baby.” She cooed in my ear, leaning in for a kiss. I shifted away from her, “you should sit down.” “What’s the attitude for?” “I think I need to make some things clear to you. I don’t care if you are related to Ezra or not. He is my friend and my soon-to-be Beta. It would help if you accorded him some respect. I don’t like how you turn up your nose whenever you come in contact with him. I hope that won’t repeat itself.” She sat on the table’s edge, pouting and mumbling incoherent words. “Do you know what Ezra does to me at home? He doesn’t even like you that much.” “That’s a lie. I have known Ezra longer before I met you. Remember, his dad was the first to be Beta. Stop making things complicated for yourself. What do you want?” She gasped lightly, “Is that supposed to be a question? Don’t you miss me? Or your concubines are so lovely that you don’t think I am worthy of your attention anymore?” I rubbed at my forehead, feeling frustration seep into the pores of my skin. “Can you quit that nonsense talk? I have other things that I am supposed to pay attention to. I don’t dwell on pussy all day. And I think you would need to reduce your coming to the packhouse.” “Why?” “Gemma? For a moment, I thought acting dumb for you makes you cute. Don’t tell me you are dumb. That wouldn’t look good on your resume. I’m sure the entire pack knows the disease is flying through the air. And here you are, acting oblivious to it. It is me protecting you from catching whatever it might be.” She shrugged, grinning. “I didn’t realize you cared this much about me. I guess it’s settled then. There is no need for me to return home. I will stay here in the packhouse with you until there is a permanent solution to the pack’s problems.” “Never!” I stayed with conviction. “That is never going to happen. The only people allowed here are the staff and the concubines I bought with my money. Aside from that, there won’t be anyone else living here freely.” “But I am your girlfriend, Gael.” “Which implies we aren’t married. You have a house you live in. You should stick to the place.” She smiled to my surprise and caressed my cheeks. “Is this about my dad? You know he wouldn’t say anything. I have my life to live. It’s none of his business.” “And I respect Beta Ezekiel. Any father would do the same in his shoes. You know how this will end, Gemma, and as much as I like you, I am still trying to be considerate of your tomorrow. Yet you keep doing this to yourself. I will miss you if you choose to end it now. But I can assure you it won’t hold for long. Please go home to your family. They love you more than I do.” I wasn’t expecting the next thing she did to me. She slapped me in the face so hard, it felt like my jaw shifted. “Fuck you! Do I look like those cheap bitches to you? I’m Gemma Desouza. Don’t you ever disrespect me? I don’t care if you are the Alpha; don’t make a fool of me just because I love you. You made the first move, not me. What were you expecting?” Her eyes watered now, making me wonder if I got the slap or she did. “Gemma…..” “Fuck you, Gael!” She screamed, walking out on me. I guess I deserve that, and I don’t know why I came off so bluntly. However, I just thought it was okay to keep reminding Gemma. But then, a part of me feels ripped from the thought of it. Fuck! I think I feel guilty now for doing that. I would have no choice but to find a way to please her. Or wait till she comes around; she always does. I guess the thought of losing me to all of my concubines fears her more than me not getting married to her. All of that still wouldn’t change anything. I would probably become the only Alpha with tens of concubines, one lover with plenty of children, and no Luna. It sure sounds like an excellent vision. I should work on it.
