Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV

I carried my wolf confidently through the lines of the woods; I love moments like this when I can be alone by myself, in my wolf form, and not bothering anyone or the pack. Just then, I heard a loud, excited pant at the other side of where I stood. Whoever that is is sure in a good mood. However, their delight puts me in a touchy mood. I don’t particularly appreciate sharing my intended lone time with anyone. I know I have no control over who gets access to the woods, but that doesn’t mean I should accept being interrupted.

I decided to ignore whoever it was and focus on enjoying the serenity. However, the person’s wolf seems to lack courtesy. I ran backward to see what was happening when a scream echoed in the woods. Is someone getting hurt? I stood behind a large tree to peek at who it was. The day is getting quite dark, so whoever it is won’t notice someone is out here watching. My wolf eyes shined at an incredible light when the wolf shifted into their body, and it turned out to be the half-breed.

Fuck! I had never seen such a beautifully structured body before, and with her hair on the loose, she looked like the goddess’s assistant. Her skin looked so smooth and shining I would like to wrap my arms around her and probably have her melt against me. Her curly, dark brown hair looked so soft as it bounced with every movement she made. She kept jumping around, clapping her hands like a crazy one. I wonder what makes her so happy. I hope it’s not a man. I don’t know why it bothers me. When tired, she shifted back into her wolf and rushed off astoundingly.

She didn’t appear to be restless, but seeing her now, I have a different opinion of her. It’s not like whatever she does concerns me in the first place. Scratching the soil with my hind legs, I returned to the main house. She ruined my mood. After changing my clothes, I returned to the room to visit the study, only to find Gemma unleashing her wrath on two ladies. They were both on their knees; I could see that from behind, but not their faces.

“What the hell is going on?” I roared from behind.

Gemma turned around, holding up a fake smile. “Hey, baby.”

I raised a hand to stop her. “Hold it right there,” I commanded, tilting my head to see the ladies. One of them turned out to be my concubine. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You both should get up and return to your rooms. Come with me, Gemma.”

“But you can’t just let them go like that. You didn’t even ask me what they did.” She whined behind me as we walked.

I kept my cool until we entered the study. When Gemma shut the door, I turned abruptly, gritting my teeth. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” I bellowed.

“What do you mean yourself? Why would you embarrass me like that in front of those peasants? I was teaching them a lesson, and you just had to ruin it.” She pouted.

“Are you crazy? You had my concubine on the floor on her knees with a maid. What difference do you think is between you both?”

She gasped, staring at me in shock. “Why will you even say that? I am the daughter of the Beta, and I am your girlfriend.”

“Oh, I see. The title is where the problem lies. Let me say this again, you are no different from the ladies I call out to randomly to sleep with. And you have no right to come into my pack house and punish anyone. If your hands itch so bad to have someone punished, do so in your father’s house.”

Her eyes watered as she spoke, “What’s with you suddenly? What did I do to you?”

The half-breed’s words haunted me as Gemma made a repeat of it. I grabbed a fistful of my hair, groaning inwardly at the effect. “Don’t ask me stupid questions, Gemma. Please leave and don’t return to the pack house until I order you to do so. Please go.”

“Gael?”

“Leave before I lose my cool,” I warn. “I won’t repeat myself.” Making a loud huff, she left the study. The door opened again, and I thought she was the one.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“I said, get out!” I yelled.

“Okay.” Ezra drawled behind me. “Trouble in paradise?”

I scoffed, dumping myself into the chair. “I didn’t know it was you. That Gemma girl drives me up the wall.

“It won’t harm you to end things with her.”

“Do I have to show her the door before she reads between the lines?” I hissed.

“Many people do not understand silent treatments, and I believe you know Gemma better than we all do. But I doubt if you are also ready to sort the problem out. What are you up to tonight? Want to go get booze and girls?” He wiggled his brows.

I stared at him suspiciously, “That’s odd of you. You never say those two things in the same sentence. Why are you so excited?”

“Correct yourself, I didn’t say ass that you are thinking in your head. And you make it sound like I am some old cargo. Are you in or out?”

“I guess I can make do with the distraction. I want to ask. Do you know if anything happened to the half-breed today?” I don’t know why I am asking, but the words already rolled out before I could stop myself.

“Nia is her name, you cow.”

“Show some respect.” I retorted.

“Why are you suddenly interested in that?”

I scoffed, “I intend to punish her for ruining my me-time today with her silly excitement.”

“Did she come to shout in the hallway? She doesn’t even come here.”

I cleared my throat, “not here, in the woods.” Ezra kept a story face for a minute before bursting into laughter. “Did I say something funny?”

“Yes, you did. I didn’t realize there is a rule that only gives the Alpha access to the woods.”

“Do I look like a joke to you?”

“Hundred percent. Stop trying so hard to get at the poor girl. She is going through too much already. Stop adding to it. If going to the woods will be a problem, I will ask her not to go at some specific times. How about that?”

I feel mocked by him. “Just shut the fuck up!” I hollered, standing up to leave.

“Are you going already?” He mumbled behind me.

“Come closer, and I will punch the living daylight out of that face of yours.”

“Angry much.” Ezra drawled in a singsong voice.

Turning around, I gripped him tightly by the neck with my arm, not letting him go until we got out into the hallway, and he released himself, running off.
