Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV

The minute I woke up this morning, the first thing I laid my eyes on was her beautiful face. I didn’t know anyone could pull off that much beauty while asleep. It took me and my ego this long to accept my true feelings. She would be awake now and probably wondering where I am. Since it was her first time, I wanted to make it memorable for her. A werewolf clan says giving your intended lover special treatment binds them to be your mate forever.

Now that I have gotten this close to Nia, I don’t think I intend to stay away at all. I waited patiently for the hamper’s goodie basket. I had myself disguised to visit the mall. I want Nia to appreciate it better, so I chose to run the errand on my own.

“Here you go, sir. I am sure she would love it.” The store attendant smiled, handing the basket to me.

“I hope she does,” I replied, taking my leave.

Last night, I was scared that I might forget such a beautiful moment. I wanted to remember every bit of it. Thankfully, I wasn’t as drunk as I predicted, which I am genuinely grateful for. Driving back to the pack house, I parked my car back in its place and walked down to the clinic. Nia seemed busy, so I decided to wait in her office.

Tapping my feet anxiously on the floor, I scrolled through my phone. I am just glad I didn’t take it with me to Nia’s house last night, even though it was off. I might have put it back on. Gemma has dropped about twenty missed messages this morning, and she has no intention to stop anytime soon until she hears from me. She is probably on her way as we speak.

The door opened, and Nia walked in. My excitement mounted just at the plain sight of her.

“What are you doing here?” She questioned coldly.

“Are you here to tell me off again? Most likely, what happened last night didn’t mean anything.”

I stood up, staring at her like I lost my way. “What are you talking about, Nia? What’s with the hostility?” I raised my eyes, trying to get a clearer picture.

Nia sighed, taking off her gloves while her eyes noticed the goodie basket. “You bought me this?”

“Of course. What’s going on?”

She looked away, pouting. “You weren’t next to me when I woke up this morning, and there was no note or anything to assure me-”

“So you concluded that I left you? Is that how bad you think I am?” I wouldn’t have minded if anyone had accused me of running off like a coward, but hearing it from Nia hurt me. “I am sorry I left without a word. And I want you to know that I wouldn’t come to you to express myself in such a sincere manner to get into bed with you. I have never been one to play hanky-panky with my emotions. I’m sorry if that is how you think of me.”

“Hey. I am sorry; all of this is just new to me.” She mumbled, taking a step forward.

I shrugged, “I get it. It’s not like I was ever nice from the beginning. Here, I got you different stuff that might ease the pain away. I hope I didn’t hurt you?” I asked, pulling her close to me.

She giggled when I kissed her. “No, you didn’t. It is all new to me, and it feels delightful simultaneously.” I tilted her face to look up at me, and I noticed the sadness in it. It was more like she was not sure about my intention. Do I scare her this much? What do I need to do to take it all away?

“Listen, Nia-”

“Are you sure about this, Gael?” She cuts in.

“I have never been this sure about anything else,” I assured.

She nods. “Okay.”

“Will you check the hamper?” I asked, caressing her hair. She smiled in response as she eagerly opened it.

“Oh, my! Chocolates and cookies? How did you know I like them?”

“Instincts!” I lied partially.



The saga of the chocolates Ezra bought for her lingers in my head. Seeing how excited she looks about mere chocolates and cookies, I regret handing that other gift to Gemma. I will ensure to get her far better stuff than that.

Nia wrapped her arms around my neck. “Thank you so much, Gael. I appreciate this.”

“So, will you have dinner with me to show appreciation?” I mumbled, scratching the back of my neck as I suddenly felt shy.

She chuckled, “Right. It’s because you are asking nicely.”

I snorted playfully, feeling my phone ring in my pocket. “I will see you later then. I have to go now.”

“Okay, bye.”

“I want to kiss you,” I admitted, biting my lips.

“Do you think I will stop you?” She teased, grinning.

I shook my head, pulling her in for a long kiss. “I will bring dinner tonight. Have a lovely day.” I said, about to leave, then I remembered something. “Before I forget, we should exchange contacts.”

Nia gasped, covering her face with both palms. “it’s unbelievable that we had sex before exchanging contact. My parents will be rolling in their grave.” She joked.

“Well, they wouldn’t mind when they discover how much of a hunk I am.” I retorted.

She laughed again, and now I feel better than Ezra for making her laugh multiple times in less than thirty minutes. We exchanged numbers, and that seemed settled.

After another long kiss, I finally left the clinic and headed to the main house. Gemma was pacing the hallway when I reached the floor of my study.

“Beautiful! The prodigal son arrives. Where the hell did you keep your damn phone, Gael? I have almost become a maniac if not for those who told me you are fine and have been moving around the pack house this morning. Where have you been? Or safe to say, where did you go, and why haven’t you been picking up my calls?” She pelted me with questions. All the while, she was breathing like someone in labor.

I maintained my cool and moved past her into the study. She followed suit. “You still haven’t answered any of my questions, Gael. What do you think you are doing?”

“I don’t think I owe you any explanation. You are not my mama.” I kissed my teeth, going through the files on the table.

“I know I am not your mum, but I am your girlfriend, and I deserve to know what you have been doing.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I think you are beginning to lose your fucking mind. You will only know what I decide to tell you, and that is it. I won’t have you dictate to me if you have nothing tangible to say; you might as well leave right now.”

Gemma gasped dramatically. “Baby, are you listening to yourself? What is so wrong with me worrying about my man? How is that a sin? Everything I did, I did for you. And you are just going to treat me like I don’t matter? At this point, you treat your concubines better than your girlfriend.”

The goddess better be glad that I do not smoke pot. She would have been subjected to an unexpected visitor right this minute. Gemma is the only one who talks and asks multiple questions in a sentence. How will anyone be able to deal with this much complication? I’m jealous of Ezra.

Rubbing at my head in frustration, I Inhaled sharply. “Your nagging is causing me a serious headache right now, and I wish I didn’t have to deal with your excesses today. Please, if you intend to keep throwing tantrums, find your way to the door.” I responded.

After what seemed like a forever silence, she finally took the hint and slammed the door violently on her exit. I feel sorry for those poor hinges.
