Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

AUTHOR’S POV

Gemma burned a hole into Gael’s back as he stomped through the garden, cutting down every plant in his way. Even though he would never admit it, she can tell that many things around remind Gael of Nia. It’s her delight that he attempts to destroy everything that does so. But then, it’s becoming more of a menace.

The only time Gael pays her attention is when he intends to have sex, just like before. The difference between now and then is that he no longer has concubines. However, she would have preferred if he had his concubines around.

Just a few days ago, she caught him having an orgy in his study. It was so disgusting to see, and he was dead drunk. Despite everything, she must keep her head up and not forget the goal. Clearing her throat, Gemma plastered a smile and walked towards him. She kept her relaxed demeanor expression on; that seems to be the catch for Gael lately.

“Is everything okay, Gael?” She asked in a low tone.

Gael turned to her, staring as if she was some stranger. “Do I look okay to you? What are you still doing here? I thought you left.”

She scratched the back of her neck, chuckling awkwardly. “I just thought you might need me around.”

“No, I don’t. I have a handful of women coming through tonight, and I don’t need your sulky self to ruin the mood for me.” He replied, turning his back to her.

Gemma flared her nose and wished she had enough guts to punch him so hard that he ended up kissing the ground. But she did well to keep her calm. “Alright then. Call me when you need me. Do take care.” She mumbled, making a move to leave.

“How long do you intend to keep up with this submissive attitude?” Gael asked all of a sudden.

She paused and turned to him. “what do you mean?”

“I know you too well, Gemma. You wouldn’t even let me be with my concubines in peace, and here you are, agreeing to me having another orgy without complaining. I see how much you bullied my concubines. What has gotten into you all of a sudden? A new life or what?” He snorted.

Smacking her lips, she held his gaze. “Because I am madly in love with you that I don’t know what to do anymore. If acting oblivious to the things you do will keep you by my side, then I am fine with it. I wish there were some other way around this. But there isn’t. The heart wants what it wants.”

“Hmmn.” Gael hummed in response. “Anyway, get ready to become the Luna. I can’t think of any other person, and I am too exhausted to be bothering myself about that. The pack members want a Luna, and since you have been here the longest, you undoubtedly deserve it. It would be best if you left now, though. I will let you know the things you will need to do later on.”

Gemma couldn’t believe her ears as she nodded and walked away. It took her a while to interpret his words. She kept replaying it in her head again and again. Her dream was finally coming to form. If Gael wasn’t drunk when he said she would be Luna, the rest of her years would be great! She was giggling to herself as she drove home.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Gemma couldn’t hide her excitement. She hummed a tune to herself and juggled her shoulder at the tune. On entering her room, Gemma was too engrossed in herself and failed to notice Zac’s presence.

A loud gasp escaped her lips when she saw him. “What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in?” She questioned.

Zac folded his arms with a displeasing look. “Is that what bothers you? Me breaking into your room, or why am I here?”

She gulped, squaring her shoulders while avoiding his eyes. “Well, both. You startled me.”

“I have always known you to be cold. But did you have to stoop this low? You couldn’t care less what becomes of me after helping you execute your supposed plan. It’s been almost a month, and you still haven’t thought it wise enough to learn about my welfare. What if the Alpha caught me?”

She rolled her eyes and sat on the single couch. “Don’t be so dramatic. You didn’t get caught, at least. You know what, baby? Forget whatever anger you might have stored. Guess who will become Luna? Me.” Gemma giggled excitedly.

Zac scoffed, “Does it make you that happy?”

“Very happy. Do you know how long I have been dreaming of this moment? Now, we could wield as much power as we want.”

“We? Do I look like a bum to you?”

“Pretty much,” Gemma whispered under her breath.

“What did you say?” He growled.

She stood up quickly and approached him. “come on, baby. Why are you getting worked up all of a sudden? I thought we already discussed this. You will always be my man. Gael is just a stepping stone to becoming the most feared in the pack. Do you think I will let him live for long?”

Zac slapped her hands away. “You are delusional if you think Gael is someone you can easily eliminate. That man has no ounce of regard for anyone. I heard he has been locking the council members up for rebuking him. Why would you want to be near a man like that?”

Gemma had a dreamy look in her eyes. “that is someone who knows the power he possesses and wields it quite well. I will always be Team Gael every day. That’s the person I want to become.”

“What becomes of me then? You know how much I feel about you, Gemma. Why do I feel like I am not involved in your plans?”

“Can we not do this right now, Zac? I never would have had another chance with Gael if you didn’t help me out. I owe it all to you, and I don’t take what we share for granted. Let’s enjoy all of this while it lasts.”

He ruffled his hair, “I thought this was just about you getting revenge on Gael for leaving you. Why are you hellbent on squeezing yourself back into his life? Let’s forget about all of this and continue with our life. Your parents agree with us anyway, so what else are you looking for?”

Zac sounded frustrated, and he had been thinking about Gemma’s sudden change of plans. He only agreed to mess with Gael and the healers’ relationship because he felt that would be enough for Gemma to assert her revenge, and they got to live their lives. But it seemed he was very mistaken, and she had no intention of backing down anytime soon.

Gemma exhaled, feeling exhausted. “we talked about this, Zac. I told you what I want. You don’t expect me to dump all that now that I am close to achieving my aim.”

“Wait a minute, did you go back to sleeping with him?”

She swallowed in discomfort and held up a tight smile. “B…baby, what are you talking about?”

Zac sucked in a breath, “it was fine when you chose to shuffle between the both of us. But now, after swearing to me that you would make sure to put an end to whatever is between you. You still went ahead to fuck him?”

“I didn’t promise to stay away from Gael.”

“Are you saying I am making this up? Before we went ahead with the plan, you swore to me while we had sex.”

“Come on, I was intoxicated by pleasure. Why would you take my word for it when we were both in a different realm? Can we stop talking about this already, baby? I promise I haven’t had sex with Gael this week. Come here.” She teased, reaching for him.

He slapped her hand off. “I am not a pushover, and you will not turn me into one. When you return to your bloody senses, you know where to find me.” Zac snorted.

Gemma rolled her eyes when he slammed the door on his way out. She would never understand his obsession with Gael. Shaking off Zac’s whiny self, she fell into the bed, laughing to herself and envisioning her reign as the Luna.
