Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV

I groaned as I tried to move my cramped body from the cold floor. It took me a few minutes to get where I was. I hissed in contempt when I realized I was lying on the floor of Nia’s room. I winced in pain as I attempted to stand up while resting on my hand. In my rage last night, I smashed everything in the clinic.

I cut myself deeply. Still, that didn’t stop me from burning up the entire greenhouse and only for my pitiful self to return here and cry helplessly. I am trying hard not to believe Nia would hurt me like that. But the more I try to be in denial, the more the image fills my head, reminding me that it did happen and I wasn’t hallucinating.

A proof of it is my wounded palm, the ashes of the greenhouse, and the ruins of the clinic. Crawling to the table where a bottle of whiskey sat pretty, I poured myself a glass and downed it in one go. It burned my chest painfully. I didn’t mind it. The one I experienced yesterday is worse than this one right now. I just hope she has left for good, or I will commit a grievous sin against the Moon goddess by killing her chosen one. But I guess I would be doing her a favor to kill someone who is such a waste of creation.

Gemma, who has every room to cheat on me, never did. The one person I decided to change for chose to make a fool of me. I will never forgive Nia, not in this life or after. I hope she rots wherever she finds herself. The door creaked open, and Ezra walked in.

I raised the glass drowsily.

“Hey there, Beta Ezra. Want some?”

He stomped towards me, snatching the glass from my hand. “What do you think you are doing, Gael? Shouldn’t you try to be in the right mind to figure out what is going on? Why did you let your anger go off the roof and burn the greenhouse? You do know how important it is to the members of the pack. Until when will you stop being so self-conceited?”

“What!” I exclaimed, standing up. “What the fuck did you just say? Am I acting self-conceited when I am the one who just got cheated on? Do you know how wrecked my heart is right now?”

“Did you bother to affirm the truth with Nia before sending her off? Did you have to humiliate her like that? Gemma is the one behind this. You should know Nia better. She would never cheat on you!”

Giving him a once over, I burst into a fit of laughter. “Are you crazy? Is that how much you hate your cousin? You couldn’t stand her and decided she would be the best person to accuse. I am not stupid or blind, Ezra. I know what I saw. Stop being an asshole by dragging your innocent cousin into this. If not for her, I wouldn’t have known that bitch was cheating on me. She would have had enough time to get dressed and return to me with that innocent look she tries to keep. But I guess you are being defensive of her because you are probably fucking her too. I should have known.”

“What did you just say?” He questioned.

“You heard me right, you bastard. I am sure you are bedding her whenever I am not looking.” The minute the sentence rolled out of my mouth, I felt a hard punch on my nose, causing me to back up against the wall in pain. “Have you lost your mind?” I growled, urging my wolf to the surface. I attempted to get back at him, but my body wouldn’t let me. I am so exhausted that my limbs can’t hold the ground well.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Be grateful to the goddess that you are the Alpha, and I greatly respect you. Suppose you were just my friend. I will make you regret saying that shit to me.”

“How dare you!” I bellowed, and we wrestled. I was swift to grab the whiskey bottle, and I aimed it at him. The bottle hit his head and shattered, causing him to lose his balance. Ezra groaned in pain. “If you ever lay that filthy hand of yours on me ever again. I will have you rot in the dungeons.” I gritted.

Ezra touched his bleeding forehead. “Go fuck yourself! You never did deserve her anyway. I will pray to the goddess that you hate yourself for every day of your life starting from now on. For all the pains and humiliation your undeserving ass has caused her. I hope you end up in hell!” He cursed, storming out of the room.

I gasped for breath as something pulled at my heart tightly. It was the first time in my adult life that I engaged in physical combat with Ezra. He is always the patient one. But right now, I’m not concerned about whatever he must have been in the past. I can’t trust anyone now, not after Nia’s betrayal. Everyone is probably lying to my face, and I am stupid enough to take in everything they say.

Tears weighed heavily on my eyelids. I wiped at it angrily. I didn’t even cry this much when my mother died. Why should I bother myself with someone as irrelevant as Nia? What was I expecting of a half-breed? She is most likely laughing hard right now at my gullibility. I hit my head against the wall persistently with my eyes closed. Just then, I felt someone hold my head in place. I opened my eyes, and it turned out to be Gemma.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, shaking my head off her hold.

“Why are you doing this to yourself? The chaos that happened yesterday has spread through the entire pack. I just had to come down here to see if you are okay. But I understand if you don’t want me here. I will leave then.” She said, attempting to stand up.

I pulled her back, causing her to fall against me. “You can stay. I apologize for speaking rudely.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. It’s not like I expected you to be all friendly with me. Anyone in your shoes would do the same thing. But I must say, I didn’t expect someone like Nia to do something like that. She looks too innocent to get involved in such a shameful act.”

I scoffed, resting my arms on my knee. “We all got fooled by how the fucking half-breed looks. Despite being caught red-handed, Nia still denied it and insisted that she didn’t know the man. How then did they get together on the bed if truly she didn’t know him? It’s the audacity for me. She could have just admitted to her guilt. She should be glad that I didn’t go totally off on her.”

“Did you have her sent out of the pack?”

“Anyone would be wishing for death should harbor her in their homes. I already said my piece yesterday. I won’t hesitate to burn those who go against my order alive.”

“That means we no longer have a healer.”

“And there is no pandemic anymore, and anyone who is too sick to get treated by the doctors. Should head to the neighboring packs to get treated. I am never allowing a healer in this pack ever again. For as long as I reign.” I hissed.

“It’s okay.” Gemma consoled me, stroking my hair. “I just need you to know that I will always be here for you. Whenever you need me.”

Her words seemed to strike me differently. I held her gaze, and my eyes fell on her lips. Throwing caution to the wind, I grabbed her face hungrily, kissing her passionately. Laying her on the ground, I tore at her clothes quickly. It should be enough compensation for my growing anger. Both Ezra and Nia can go to hell for all I care.
