Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV I was about to get a blowjob from Sarah when the door to the study burst open abruptly, letting in Gemma. Without warning, she threw her handbag at poor Sarah while letting out an ear-piercing scream. Her face looked quite rough, like she had been playing in the mud or pushed to the wall roughly. The poor girl she hit out of the blue ran without being told what to do. Zipping up my trousers, I gave her a disapproving look. “I do not like how you always barge in on me with no ounce of respect,” I stated. Tears laced her eyes as she stood in front of me. “I have only been gone for a few hours, and you are already getting down with one of your sluts?” “I’m not going to discuss my private life with you.” “Won’t you ask me what happened to me?” She stomped her feet, sobbing. This problem is my own doing. I have no one to blame. Inhaling sharply, I smacked my lips. “what happened to you?” Gemma burst into tears. “you won’t believe what Perry did to me?” “Perry? I thought she wasn’t feeling too well.” “Hell no! That bitch is outstanding, and I can attest to it. She came up on me all of a sudden at the mall and pulled my hair while also rough-handling me.” “Oh, why didn’t you fight back?” She wasn’t expecting such a question from me cause her reaction came in the most dramatized form. Stumbling to the back, she touched her chest like someone hyperventilating. “How do you expect someone in my class to get dirty with a wretch like Perry?” I raised a finger in rebuttal, “Please refrain from using such harsh words to describe Perry. The last time I checked, she is your cousin.” “What motherfucking cousin? That idiot doesn’t deserve to be part of my family. Anyway, that isn’t the case now. What I want is for you to get her punished. She didn’t even worry that I am your girlfriend before laying her filthy hands on me.” “I don’t think I…..” Gemma threw her arms out, cutting me short, “You don’t have to think anything, baby. I want her punished and humiliated just like she did to me. Perry doesn’t deserve to live amongst people like us. She is nothing short of an outcast.” “You should respect my sister whenever you talk about her.” Ezra’s cold voice resounded from behind. I had gotten carried away by Gemma’s performance to notice his entrance. Rolling her eyes, Gemma said. “Oh, I see you are beginning to feel one of a kind because I didn’t put you in your place at the mall. You are nothing, too, just like your pathetic sister.” I coughed lightly, “If I didn’t know better, I would think you all aren’t related. What’s with this extreme level of hate?” “You won’t understand, baby.” Gemma bickered. “These people are the worst of all. Please punish Perry; if you out me, you would do what I want.” “You shouldn’t disrespect Ezra like that. He is going to become the new Beta in a few months.” I said. “That’s none of my business. Perry has to get locked up and punished.” She insisted. “There would be no such thing as a punishment melted on my sister,” Ezra interjected. I threw my hands up in surrender, “this is a family rift. I am not getting involved. Go to the chamber and rest, Gemma. I will join you soon, hmmm.” My words seem to do magic. But that didn’t stop her from giving her older cousin an extremely deadly look before storming out. Ezra scoffed, dumping himself in the chair. “How in the world do you even cope with her?” I sucked my teeth, “as I have always said, I brought it upon myself. What exactly happened? And why is Perry going around to beat people up?” It sounded amusing to me, though. Everyone who grew up with Perry knows her to be very rational, and it’s rare for her to lose her cool. However, when it does happen, she never hesitates to send everyone flying. “I had met her halfway to your chambers, and she asked after Gemma. The mistake I made was to tell her she would be at the mall. Thankfully, I let on my instincts to follow her. As I had predicted, she was in the middle of a clothes store, straddling Gemma to the ground while pulling her hair violently. How Gemma still has her head standing shocks me.” “Do you know why she went at her like that?” “Sincerely, I have no idea, and I didn’t bother to ask. It’s too much hassle getting involved in lady fights. I won’t be surprised if the argument is about a petty reason.” I nodded in agreement, “That is sure. Let’s not discuss the girls anymore, please. I just reviewed the report of the disease reaching at least one person in each home. Let’s announce a no-movement policy until we know what this is and when Beta Ezekiel has reached out to willing healers.” “That’s very valid, Alpha. Thank you for coming to terms with it.” I snickered, giving him a side-eye. “You make it sound like I would k and watch the pack go into extinction.” “Never say never!” He said with a dead stare. “Fuck you.” We laughed for a few seconds before something else crossed my mind. “That reminds me. Are you d with Ciara, or did you want me to back off regarding the council?” Ezra shut his eyes tightly, lamenting. “do you not have reasonable things to do with your time?” “Fishing out the truth is also part of it.” “Well, I like her, and we are on a talking stage.” “That means she isn’t your mate.” “I am warning you, Gael. Back off! We want each other, but I am not sure just yet. Her mate died a year ago, and I have not met mine, so we want to be sure of what we share.” “Which implies I still have a chance with her.” He looked frustrated, “quit being an asshole. I am not going to discuss this with you again. In that case, pick on someone else entirely. Don’t make me break your nose.” I snort, “You are so violent.” “Learn from the best.” He huffed, scrolling through his phone.

“While you are at it. I must appease your cousin before she brings the entire packhouse down.” “I do wish you the very best of luck.” He mused behind me.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I want luck. *********************** AUTHOR’S POV Mindy let out some colorful profanities under her breath at the piled-up dishes in the kitchen. Stomping her feet angrily, she went into the living room, where the other family members sat. “Who do you all expect to clean after you?” She bellowed “Watch your tone, young lady,” Stephanie warned. “Don’t tell me that, mum. Why would every one of you use plates and not wash in return? I am not anyone’s slave. If you need someone to take care of the house, you get help.” Mindy hissed. Levi snickered, “Will you pay for the help yourself? It appears you have become quite independent. Maybe you can do that much.” “This is why you never should have sold Nia off. At least she was this useful.” Caleb added. Kingston, who had been quiet as the rest of the family exchanged words, huffed out in irritation. It angers him when they talk about Nia like she is some tool. He would have loved to put them all in their place, but that would only make his parents suspect that he might have been communicating with Nia again. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Kingston?” His sister queried. Caleb cackled, “Of course, he can’t say a word. You all are bashing the love of his life. It must hurt. “Shut the fuck up, Caleb.” Kingston hissed, making his way out of the house, ignoring their calls. He walked down the path to their mini garden and sat on the grassy ground. He has been quite worried about Nia lately; she hasn’t been saying much to him whenever he calls or responds to his texts as fast enough. He can almost feel the pain that she is possibly going through. Kingston feels it’s his fault she is locked up in the packhouse as a maid. He could have done better at hiding her that day at the party. Placing a hand on his chest, he tapped at it lightly, feeling his heart thump quickly. Even though he has met his mate, to avoid forgetting Nia’s face, he rejects her and hides the truth from his parents. He always had a soft spot for his since she came to the house. However, he realized his feelings when she grew into a more beautiful woman. He couldn’t resist staring at her for long. How her face brightens whenever he appears makes him feel like the most critical person in the world. It didn’t take long for him to realize his feelings for her. It’s beyond what anyone would have for their sibling. He loves Mindy to death, of course, despite the awful attitude she possesses. In the case of Nia, his emotions are different, and it feels like he can’t live without her. With Nia being away, Kingston felt motivated to keep working hard as a web programmer, enough money to pay the Alpha back and take her far away from the Sunset pack to where the humans live. They can both settle down and live a good life. His love for Nia is stronger than the one he has for his family, and that is just about enough to keep him away from them. Bringing out his phone from his pocket, Kingston dialed Nia’s contact. The other line came on, but there was no response. His heart raced fearfully at the thought of something going wrong with her. Scrolling through his contacts again, he dialed his friend Darien. “Hey, man.” Darien greeted cheerfully from the other end. “How are you, Darien? Sorry to bother you, but I want to ask if you know how Nia is doing.” “The half-breed?” Kingston had a crossed look but relaxed his muscles when he remembered Darien would overlook his annoyance. “Can you not call her that, please? I hope you aren’t one of those bullying her at the packhouse. She is just the same as the rest of us. I don’t know why so much discrimination exists amongst you all in this pack.” Darien snorted into the receiver, “Calm your nerves. I can’t tell how she is doing. But I am guessing she is fine. There you are bothered about a girl when a pandemic is happening in the pack.” “Don’t exaggerate it. It’s not rampant yet. Even though my parents have made it mandatory for everyone to stay until a healer comes to town.” Kingston paused, taking a deep breath. “I can’t reach her now, Darien, and coming out to the packhouse isn’t safe either. Please, if you have any information on her, don’t hesitate to let me know.” “Sure, man. Do take care.” He mused, hanging up. “I thought our parents warned you to stay clear of that girl,” Caleb said, startling Kingston. Crawling back up hurriedly, Kingston kissed his teeth. “What the fuck, man? Can you try making some noise when you walk up to someone?” “Then I wouldn’t get eavesdropped if I do that.” He defended sitting in his brother’s place. Kingston sat back, cursing under his breath. “You didn’t hear anything, and you won’t say a word.” Caleb turned his head to look at his brother with an amused expression. “I have never known you to be rebellious. I guess Nia isn’t so bad after all if she brings this new side to you.  I have always hoped you would join me in being naughty someday. I am glad we are on the same page now. I hope you realize how much our family detests her.” “I am not in that circle with you all. One quick question: what did Nia ever do to you, personally.” Caleb pretended to think for a second. “Nothing really, since our parents and Mindy don’t like her. I only joined the wagon. It’s appropriate to side with the majority.” With an abashed look on his face, Kingston held his head like someone in severe pain. “I can’t believe I share the same blood with any of you. I feel disgusted. How shameless and clueless can you be? I have learned you only despise someone who does wrong to you. But why hate someone for just existing?” “Her being is more of an outcast. Don’t act like you know best, Kingston. And I will advise you to save yourself the pain and death, whatever feelings you have for her. Or else things would only become worse.” “Who told you I have feelings for her?” He looked defensive.

Caleb cackled, looking behind him; he lowered his voice. “I know you rejected your mate. And I am not blind to those looks in your eyes whenever you see, Nia. Our parents can be pretty oblivious most of the time. But I am not. Still, since it’s not affecting me, it’s not my place to tell. All the same for your good. Read it! Dead that feeling it would lead to nowhere.” He mused in a warning tone, returning inside. Mumbling some encouraging words to himself, Kingston inhaled and exhaled. For the sake of Nia, he has to be careful from now on. If there is anything he knows about his parents, it’s their readiness to eliminate anyone they consider a threat to their family name. As it seems right now, Nia is a number one enemy. And no one would hurt her ever again, not on his watch.
