Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV

My forehead ached as I leaned into the couch, humming in satisfaction at the soft hands massaging my shoulder. I had quite a long day running the pack’s activities, which could be exhausting. I entered my private chamber, where a few of my concubines swayed their waists to entertain me and make me feel better. The reason why I love having them around is because they provide a distraction.

The front door yanked open violently, but I kept my eyes closed, not bothering to open them. “Get out, you sluts!” Gemma yelled at them in her most controlling tone.

The concubines grumbled and dragged themselves out slowly. I didn’t think I knew half of their names. They just did whatever I ordered them to. Opening one of my eyes to see where Gemma was, I saw her strolling seductively towards me, straddling my thighs.

“Hey, baby,” I muttered when she kissed my lips.

“Honey,” she slurred, resting her head against my chest while caressing my arm. She was possessive.

Gemma and I have come a long way. Her father is my Beta, a close friend of my late father. He remained the Beta while training Ezra, his nephew, to take his place. I had taken up the position of Alpha a bit too early due to my father’s unfortunate death, and I needed as much guidance as I could get. Gemma and I grew closer because of her constant presence at the packhouse. Also, she is a beauty to behold, and I just couldn’t let it pass by me.

She has been a very true lover and confidant, probably hoping she might be Luna one day. But I have other plans in mind. I enjoy the freedom that comes with having several women to myself. And I plan to enjoy it till the end of my life. I don’t want to end up like my father, whose heart only belonged to one woman, and her death made him miserable his entire life. No offense to my lovely mother; I am only being realistic.

Also, Gemma would make a good lover, not Luna. She is too self-centered and also very obsessed with her beauty. The pack members deserve a reasonable Luna. Rather than provide them with just anyone for the sake of being married, I would instead remain single and keep increasing my list of concubines. Even though it sounds selfish, I like having Gemma next to me. She is the one lady that I am most attracted to.

Gemma wobbled against me seductively, obviously trying to get intimate. However, I was not in the best mood to get in the mood. “What’s wrong? You want me to suck on you?” she whispered, her eyes dancing with mischief.

Lifting her off me onto the empty side of the couch, I tilted my neck. “I wanted to be entertained, Gemma. You just came and ruined the fun. I didn’t want any of them to disrespect you. It’s why I let you have your way.”

Her expression went sour, “are you saying you prefer your concubines’ presence to mine?”

I exhaled, suddenly feeling exhausted. “That isn’t what I meant. I need a break. You are still coming to my bed tonight. What’s the hurry for?”

She snorted, pouting her lips. “I want to go shopping, and I was thinking you would give me your card.”

“Seriously, baby? What’s wrong with yours or your dad’s?” I inquired.

“Dad says he won’t pay money into my account for the next month. He says I spend recklessly.”

Ezekiel does have a point; Gemma shouldn’t have a free money pass. She doesn’t know when to stop. “If your father made that decision, what makes you think I can go against it?”

“Because you are the Alpha and my man.”

“I’m not going to be in your father’s bad books. He already hates me, low-key as it stands.” I said, turning my head away from her. If it weren’t for his duties as the Beta, Ezekiel would have punched me in the face. He isn’t supportive of the relationship between his daughter and me. But Gemma knows how to get her way and wouldn’t stay away from me when asked to.

Making her signature puppy face, she blinked at me, pulling at my hand. “Please, baby. I promise to be as discreet as possible. Dad wouldn’t even know that I eventually went shopping.”

A smile tugged at my lips when she played with my cheek. “Fine! I would give it to you. But if your father gives me the cold shoulder, I am not going to let you have it until he agrees you are deserving of it.”

“Aye, aye, captain. Can I have it now?” She stretched out her hand.

Rolling my eyes, I chuckled. “You do know where it is in the room. Go take it from there.”

Giggling in excitement, she kissed me. “I love you.”

My mouth remained sealed at her confession. I will not say something I don’t exactly mean. She didn’t mind either. I love that we have an understanding. Finding my way back up, I stomped towards my closet to change into a more comfortable outfit to walk around the packhouse.

As I walked the path to the gardens, I saw Ezra giving orders to some guards. I waited in my stead for him. When he noticed me, he came running.

“Why does it feel like the packhouse is boring lately?” I said with a huff.

Ezra laughed, “I am not surprised to hear you say that. You are always quick to lose interest in something.”

I shrugged, “Not exactly.”

“Have you heard about the new girl? Turns out the other maids are bullying her.”

I let out a snicker, “she does deserve it.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Can you quit being unreasonable, Gael? It’s odd enough that everyone considers you a douchebag. But I know that you aren’t that kind of person. You could have chosen to leave her alone and take your money back. How is it her fault that she is a half-breed? You can never get to decide who the heart chooses to love.”

“So what would you have me do?”

“Probably let her return to her family or grant her freedom.”

“I paid fifty grand for her.”

“Like you haven’t wasted more money than that over frivolous things. That lady is a whole being, man. It would be best if you stopped with this madness of yours. It’s not like you are traumatized or anything like that. If I were not such a fan of Gemma, and she was probably my direct sister, I would never let you near her even though I care for you so much. You are a complete asshole, Gael.”

I blinked in disbelief, “do you realize I am still the Alpha?”

“Sue me then. You need to get your act together, man. There is no fun in this nonsense you are engaging in. Just stop it and get your life together.” He glared like he had me in mind from the very beginning.

Folding my hand behind my back, I smiled calmly. “I like for a fact that you aren’t trying too hard. I would do whatever I want, and as for the new girl, she can go to hell for all I care. Sunset Pack is my world, and I would run it whichever way I like.”
