Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

AUTHOR’S POV Gemma jabbed at her food lazily; she didn’t seem to have much interest in the food. Ezekiel watched her closely with his under-eye. She is trying to get her way out of the house by throwing a tantrum. But he knows better than to let her get her way this time. Suddenly, Gemma threw down her cutlery, wiping at her mouth with a napkin. “I’m heading out!” She announced, pushing the chair back.

“You haven’t even eaten half of your meal.” Her mother, Daniella, commented. Ezekiel cleared his throat, taking a sip of his water. “And where do you think you are going, young lady?” Gemma scoffed, “Where else, dad? I am either shopping, hanging with the girls, or spending time with Gael.” She stressed the name so much everyone winced on her behalf. “How did I birth such a shameless child like you?” Her father spat in distaste. “Ezekiel!” Daniella called out softly. “Easy, uncle.” Ezra, who had been extremely quiet, chipped in. He shook his head stubbornly, “No, none of you should interfere in this. It’s a weekend, and this unreasonable being thinks it’s okay for her to leave a family lunch and go in search of someone who doesn’t give two fucks about you.” He cursed. Stomping her feet in annoyance, Gemma glared at her father. “That’s enough, Dad. I won’t have you talk about Gael, and I like that. We care for each other, and I am the only one he cherishes the most. Whenever I am around, he wants no other but me.” “I didn’t realize you had this level of low self-esteem. I used to be proud that I birthed a beautiful girl who would grow to be a sound and a powerful she-wolf, but only for you to grow old enough and begin throwing yourself at a man who buys ladies like a shepherd rearing sheep. Are you blind, or have you lost your senses?” “Don’t take out your anger on me, Dad. It’s not my fault that you are only after position and not after actual love.” He laughed sarcastically. “oh, you think what you have is love? You are enjoying convenient attention. He finds you classy enough to hang around. He would never make you his Luna, neither will he change for you.” Gemma’s lips shook hard as tears laced her eyes. “You should be ashamed of yourself, Dad. Hating on a kid that you watched grow. I think you are just a pathetic old wolf who is in pain to be serving someone old enough to be his son.” “Gemma, don’t talk to your father like that.” Ezra cautioned. She turned an angry eye at him. “I don’t remember speaking to you, errand boy. Don’t even try to act like you have some say here. Now to you, Dad. I will end up with Gael and rule this pack. You will be alive to witness it.” Kissing her teeth, she slammed the table hard before walking out on all of them.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Daniella stood up too, “I’m so sorry; I would talk to her now.” With one look at Ezekiel, Ezra decided to put his anger aside and pacify his uncle. Gemma is the exact opposite of her parents. She is spoilt and unreasonable. At the same time, the parents are to blame for making her feel too comfortable and having her grow with the perception that Gemma is better than everyone else. Despite growing up with the same silver spoon, she still calls Ezra an errand boy. “Are you okay, uncle?” He asked. Ezekiel exhaled slowly, staring down at his shaky hands. “I shouldn’t have kept mute when I noticed the spark between them. I should have stopped it when I could. It’s my fault that she is living in a delusion. As her father, I must protect her; I could have told Gael off and warned me to stay away from my daughter. Instead, I kept quiet, hoping they would hate each other. If she ends up bitter, it’s my fault.” Ezra wishes he could relay the cold, simple truth to his uncle. But that might cause too much despair. Biting down on his tongue, he smiled weakly. “I am sorry you have to deal with this. Let’s hope she returns to her senses and realizes loving Gael wastes time. He already decided what he wanted with himself. You don’t have to blame yourself; Gemma is an adult and knows what she is doing. And in the end, it’s here. A few months and she will be back to normal.” He shouldn’t have said the last line, but he said it anyway. The older man nodded his head slowly. “I guess that does happen. Where is your sister? It’s been a while since I saw her.“ Ezra sighed In resolve; one would think they all didn’t live under the same roof. His sister, Perry, always gets asked after, with her location unknown. “I have no idea, uncle. I will have to call her.” Ezekiel grunted, “Why are the girls in families bastards? Is there some kind of curse on them?” He asked to leave the table while still mumbling to himself. Laughing to himself, Ezra kept eating his food, enjoying the serenity. If it were up to him, family dinners would be a no, no. His parents before the unfortunate accident that claimed their lives, loved family dinners with the extended family, and he loved it too. However, since their death, all traditions seem absurd. At least, he tries his best to adjust, unlike his sister, who avoids any chance to see any of them. Their father, Elias, was Ezekiel’s elder brother. Since his death, Ezekiel took it upon himself to make his brother’s children comfortable. But there was only little he could do to take away their grief through finishing his food; the front door opened, and that got him curious. Leaving the dining area, Ezra walked towards the foot of the stairs. He already knew who it was. “Mind telling where you are coming from, Perry?” He asked, giving her a disapproving look. Perry looked him dead in the face with her thin eyes. She was too high to match his energy. “Whatever I do doesn’t concern you.” He scoffed in disbelief, “In case you missed the memo, young lady. Whatever you are involved In is my bloody business. I practically have no idea what becomes of you or where you go. Your eyes and skin are so pale it’s obvious you haven’t been eating well. What are you doing to yourself, chubby?” His voice softened when he called her by her childhood pet name. She rolled her eyes, looking disinterested. “don’t try to patronize me. Just get out of my way.” Watching her leave, Ezra punched the air in frustration. It’s high time he goes to the crazy household before he loses his mind like the rest of them living in it.
