Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV My head aches badly. I tried hard to avoid drinking too much and ended up with a hangover. But here I am, wincing at the hammering in my head. Sitting up, I yawned loudly. On both sides of my king-sized bed lay four of my concubine’s butt-naked. A delightful grin spread out on my face as I smacked the two near me with both hands. They moaned in response to their sleep. My life is incredible! Slapping each of them harder, I kicked at the one inching close to me. “That’s enough. You all should get out.” I ordered. After what felt like forever, the four left, leaving me to myself. I stared blankly at the wall. I don’t know what it is, but I haven’t been in the best of moods for days. It probably has to do with Gemma’s absence. But then, deep within me, I know it’s not. For some unknown reason, I am beginning to regret signing the deal with Ezra to let the half-breed serve the packhouse for just a year. Left to me, she doesn’t deserve to roam about so freely without experiencing some hard times. “She is being bullied enough. What more do you want from her?” My wolf, Diaz, rebuked. I snorted in response, dragging myself to the bathroom. The water felt like a pin on my skin. I would have asked the maids to prepare a bath, but my dick might end up hardening in the process. I don’t feel like fucking anyone right now. Resting both palms against the wall, I hissed in contempt. It’s because she is a halfbreed. I have never seen someone so weak as that girl ever before. Her fellow gender had her punched to the ground, and she didn’t move a muscle to defend herself or shout out for help. As the Alpha, it’s wrong of me to allow such a horrible act in the confines of the packhouse, however, for someone who shouldn’t have existed in the first place. I guess she deserves it. I can’t be sure of what I would do if she did as much as cross my path. Her scent is enough to make me puke.

“Then let her go,” Diaz uttered. “Shut the fuck up! I have warned you to stop meddling whenever I am trying to meditate.” I hissed again. It isn’t enjoyable to keep talking to a part of me so loudly. If I had given Diaz the room, he would have me hypnotized every time. I do agree it was wrong to watch. My parents taught me better. At the same time, I believe it’s what fate wants for her. Stepping out of the bathroom, I almost rammed into the wall at the sight of Gemma. Do bitches must have forgotten to lock the door? “What are you doing here?” I asked, not minding that I had walked out of the bathroom naked. Her eyes stayed glued to my dick for a brief second before she looked up at me. “since you won’t call or come to me. I decided I better do that.” Making my way to the closet, I turned my back to hide the pleased grin on my face. They always come back. I am sure no woman who exists in this world and beyond can resist my charm. It’s a good thing I didn’t try to get to her at first. “Gael,” Gemma called out, stomping her feet. I didn’t respond and kept up with my dressing. Just then, I felt her arms wrap around my chest. She drawled, “Baby, don’t you miss me? Why do you keep doing this to me, Gael? You know how crazy I am about you. How could you not be in contact with me for a week? Is this all because you have so many women at your beck and call? You do know I am better off than many of them, right? If I walk out again, it will be for good!” I thought her threat was going to have an immediate effect. Instead, she still had herself glued to me. Stuttering, I relaxed my muscles, turning to face her. “You acted very bratty walking out on me like that. Most times, I think you forget I am the Alpha. Do you expect me to run after you?” She caressed my bare chest sending electric waves to my dick. I might have a bruise from going on a long round of sex all through the night. But that isn’t to say I can’t enjoy the juices Gemma would let on. Her insides are delectable. “Still, I am your favorite, baby. And you never treat me like one. You allow those lowlives to look at me like they can compete.” “That isn’t true, mama. No one can ever compete with you. I said too much that day, and I am sorry.” She giggled in response, standing on her tiptoe to kiss me. “If you are sorry, you will let me have your card, and I will spend the rest of the week here.” “Yes to the former, never to the latter. You want your father to poison me.” I scoffed, moving away from her. “Come on, baby. You have more power and influence than my father. He can’t do anything but look.” “I might be irresponsible, but that doesn’t mean I should disrespect my elders.” “Aww.” She cooed at me again. “This is why I keep loving you. Your manners are still intact.” “Gemma….” “Shhh. It’s okay. I am staying, and I will need your card.” “Alright, whatever you want.” I felt exhausted from the long talk. I have an important meeting this morning, and I am running late. Showing Gemma out of the closet, I finished getting dressed and exited the room with Gemma hot on my tail. Trying to mark her territory as always, she held me by the arm. Unbothered by my state of urgency. It’s always about herself, even if one is on the brink of death. We were about to round the stairs that led to the meeting hall. Gemma let out an incredibly shrill scream that had my eardrums in tatters. “What is it?” I questioned, not noticing the person that caused the uproar. Gemma pointed in front of us, and there stood the half-breed-looking pitiful with the bowl of harvested fruits from the garden in her hands. “What is this filth doing around here?” Squaring my shoulders, I kissed my teeth, glaring at the half-breed. “How often did I warn you to steer clear of my path?” She bowed her head quickly, stuttering. “Pardon me, Alpha. I didn’t think you would come by this place.” “You idiot!” Gemma screamed. “Who do you think will decide whether my baby passes or not? It would help if you didn’t exist amongst us. Your presence is making me irritated.” Without warning, Gemma threw out her leg and kicked at the girl forcefully, causing her to roll down the stairs. Diaz winced at the loud thud her body made when she landed at the foot of the stairs, with the fruits bouncing off freely. Keeping my eyes up, myself and Gemma walked past her before parting ways. The half-breed got what was coming to her. I don’t believe that it’s my fault Gemma has a temper, and I didn’t do anything wrong. I repeated until I entered the meeting hall, only for my jaw to drop in utmost shock. A sick-looking fellow who appeared to be on the brink of death sat at the end of the table, staring at me like he had plans to take me with him.  I glared at every one of them intensely. They all stood up, bowing lightly. “What the fuck is this?” “You are late,” Ezra whispered in my ears while Ezekiel gave me a quick run down with his inner eyes. I know he did because I can feel it burn into my skin. “That still doesn’t answer my question.” I rebuffed him.

Ezekiel shared a look with Ezra before clearing his throat. “Alpha Gael, one of our members, has caught the disease.”

“So, does this place look like some damn clinic?” “This is us crying out for your help, Alpha.” Omega Harold interjected. “One of us is down, which means it will spread out soon.” “You all are the unreasonable ones who choose to bring the disease inside my walls. No one here in the packhouse has any raging disease. If you need a healer so bad, get the fuck out of the pack and go heal yourself!” “Alpha Gael!” Beta Ezekiel called out in a strict tone. “You are the Alpha, but you will respect the elders who have helped saddle the boat of this pack to the success it is today. Don’t be that person who loses his manners due to anger. It was wrong of us to allow him in; we apologize. He didn’t look this pale either. But what we need now is a solution to the raging problem. People are dying out there. They need our help.” Letting out a long breath, I sighed tiredly. “Pardon me for getting out of control. But I need you to leave, please.” I said to the sick man. He nodded slowly, standing up. “I am sorry, Alpha.” His words sounded more like a whisper. With the way he looks, I doubt if he would survive the day. Heading to my chair, I let out a loud grunt. “What do we do now?” Ezra said, “We would need to seek help outside the pack. We don’t have a healer.” “So?” “I would make the calls and get a healer for us.” Beta Ezekiel offered. “How long would that take?” I inquired. “Say two days, just in case. I don’t want our options to be limited. It is more of an intending pandemic.” He replied. “Alright. You do that. But the next time you pull this kind of trick on me. I promise not to take it lightly.” I warned. “We are sorry, Alpha.” They chorused. In my distorted state, I notice the new lady among the council members. She is beautiful; her oblong face complimented a sharp jawline and pointed nose. Hmm, my exact type. A smile spread out on my lips. “No one told me we had a new member.” I mused. “She isn’t exactly a new member, Alpha,” Ezra informed. “She is the daughter of the head of the Keppa’s clan. Her father is indisposed, and he asked her to represent him.” “Why don’t you let her introduce herself.” I cut him a stern glare. The lady stood up, and I marveled at her perfect figure. Damn! Not even Gemma stands a chance. Where have you been all my life? I almost said that out loud before biting down on my hunger. “Pardon me, Alpha. I am Ciara Torres, the Daughter of Collin Torres. I am only representing my father for today. You don’t have to worry about seeing me again.” She smiled so beautifully. Suppose the goddess makes this many beauties. I wonder how she looks. I smiled back at her, “But I want to see you again.” I drawled. Ezra pinched me hard on the side while Ezekiel let out a loud cough. I rolled my eyes; everyone was practically whispering to one another. They don’t know how to mind their business. Slapping the table, I grinned tightly at them. “since there is nothing more for us to say. Let’s leave the discussion for another day.” I urged. My eyes stayed glued to Ciara, and I was just about to ask her to stay back, but Ezra came into my view. “What?” I questioned, stretching my neck to have a closer look. “She is my girl. Get your eyes off her!” His nose flared, and this was the first time I had seen Ezra in this light.

I suddenly felt deflated. “How is that even possible?” “I warn you, Gael. If you respect what we share. Back the fuck off, my woman!” He warned, storming off. “Okay, tiger!” I mumbled. When I thought I had the hall to myself, Ezekiel came into view. There was no emotion to read on his face. He sure knows how to mask it all. “Can I have a word with you, Alpha Gael?” Like I have a choice. Putting up a dry smile, I hummed. “sure.” Settling himself into a chair, he folded his hands on the table. “First, I want to address how you speak to the council. The reason I haven’t retired yet is to help you act right as the Alpha. It would help if you were a leader who controls his feelings and never acts on them immediately. Being a leader means you never act irrationally. That can cost you a lot. Please, don’t make the people lose faith in you.” “Okay, I will be sure to keep that in mind. What’s the second thing?” I thought he knew how to mask his emotions. But I was wrong. He had a malicious one in place as he stared coldly at me. “It’s about my daughter. When will you keep her under your wings, Gael?” And just like that, I lost my respect. “I….” “With all due respect, let me finish.” He cut in. “don’t you think it’s unfair that you are playing with her future just for fun? Here you are, flirting so openly with no shame. I wish you would be frank with Gemma and let her go. Please. I want her to have a good life and end up with a good man. But everyone in the pack already knows she spends most of her time with you. If she would ever start a family, it would be outside this pack, which shouldn’t be the case. I am tired of seeing my daughter run loose. Please, let her be.” “It’s not my fault that she keeps coming back.” I defended weakly, even though I would have still found a way to bring her back. I am not exactly tired of having her around just yet. “Then you also do a good deed and keep pushing her away. Enough embarrassment would bring back her lost senses.” I don’t think Ezekiel knows his daughter well enough. There is nothing sensible left in that young lady anymore. If anything, she is only good at making me scream shamelessly in bed. Gemma has one hell of a good riding skill. I smiled at the memory, forgetting I had company. Clearing my throat quickly, I tried to look serious. “I do like Gemma, Beta,” I admitted. He scoffed, “Do you like her enough to become your Luna? The thought of the number of concubines you possess is outrageous.” “Having a Luna is farfetched for someone like me.” “That’s what I thought,” Ezekiel said, leaving. I would have loved to call him back, but I have nothing to say. On that note, I am entirely fagged, and I need a soap bath.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
