Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

AUTHOR’S POV

Gemma blinked back the tears that stained the back of her eyes. She watched as the council members grumbled their dissatisfaction regarding Gael’s decision to make her the Luna. Gemma wouldn’t have expected them to say anything and suspects her father might be behind the brutal refusal. With her arms folded, she stared blankly at the wall while trying to tune out their voices. Gael, on the other hand, seems to be unsure of what he is saying, as he keeps raising his voice without making an exact point.

“Enough!” Ezra bellowed, slamming his hand on his table. He looked exhausted.

Ever since he became the Beta, it has been from one troubled discourse to the other. It’s almost like they don’t have an Alpha. “Please, that is enough argument for a day. We have been at this for over two weeks, going back and forth like children. Let’s end this and meet again after two weeks. I guess seeing each other every day to talk about the same things has resulted in the irritation we all are feeling. Let’s end it here.”

He looked towards Gael to see if he might be against the order. But as it had been for the past weeks, Gael had his eyes glued to his phone. He is disinterested in whatever is happening. The rest of the council members grunted as they rolled out of the meeting hall. Ezra pulled at the root of his hair, feeling anger race through his veins. He might resort to resigning if things continue this way. It is hard enough that he has to put up with Gael’s rude ass every blessed day. His wolf growled in discomfort.

“Alpha-” Ezra called out but was cut short by Gael’s raise of hand.

Gael turned to Gemma. “I am sure you heard them. You aren’t their ideal, Luna. All you have to do is get pregnant. They would have no choice then but to accept you.”

“Aren’t you the Alpha? How can you be so relaxed with letting people like that make decisions for you?” Gemma queried, finally finding her voice.

He raised a brow, “Have you gone mad? How dare you question me? Do you think being the Alpha is all about me? I have a responsibility to live up to, ensuring I am not just obsessed with my partner, but the rest of the pack has to feel the same way. The Luna has responsibilities, and only an empathic one can do that.”

“Are you saying I am not a kind person?” She questioned, feeling a piece of herself fall off.

Gael scoffed, “Don’t play victim, Gemma. It doesn’t suit you. I know you have changed now and trying to be better. But it will be hard to convince the rest of the others who have seen you do what you do. I never wanted to marry you solely because you will make all of my hard work go to waste.”

Clenching her fist, Gemma flared her nose at him. “what changed then? If you don’t want me to be Luna, why pick me?”

He shrugged, “Life happened, and you turned a new leaf. I could work with that. Don’t worry about any of those wrinkled men. They have no other choice but to accept you. Get ready for tonight; I am getting you pregnant.” Gael chuckled dryly and stumbled out of the hall. He appears drunk, which was due to the excess alcohol he had last night.

Ezra, watching the two converse, clapped his hands in amusement. “wow! I must say that was quite a scene to watch. Is this what you strived so hard for? Not only were you tossed aside by the people who watched you grow. The one you want to have so badly sees you as a tool to get what he wants. Such a shame.”

Gemma got up and raised a shaky finger at him in threat. “Don’t you ever open that stupid mouth of yours to talk to me in whichever way you, please? I do have a goal: never to be a puppet like you. You should be ashamed for serving someone the same age as you.”

He snorted, “You are the perfect description of delusional. Get your facts together, baby. You need help. Anyway, good luck in getting pregnant. I hope you both can achieve that soon. Or your days in the pack house will be reaching its end.”

She kissed her teeth, feeling a surge of anger bounce through every path of her body. Gripping the top of the chair tightly, she relaxed when the idea clicked.

A smile broke out on her face. Why did she ever bother about all of the threats? When it is no doubt a blessing in disguise. She rubbed at her belly slowly. Even though she had been sad about it, it just made sense that it happened this way. She had been hellbent on getting rid of it the minute she was aware. After putting a text through to Zac, he didn’t reply to her message.

Gemma had broken the news of her pregnancy to him. There was no doubt of who the father was judging by the number of weeks gone. She had no plans to keep it at. First, Zac’s lack of response also determined her to eliminate it. Today was her appointment before Gael insisted she join the council meeting. With this, she wouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant just in time for the next council meeting.

Her marriage with Gael will work out. She was patting her belly in delight. She headed out of the hall just in time when her phone rang. Her heart raced when the caller turned out to be Zac. She glanced around the hallway and returned to the meeting hall while trying to think of the right thing to say to him.

“What was that message about?” Zac questioned the moment the line connected.

Gemma gulped as she nervously straightened her head. “ah, ah! I finally made you talk to me. I thought I had to send you something triggering to get your attention.” She said, chuckling awkwardly.

There was a long pause on the other end. “there are many things that you have said to get my attention. None of it has ever involved a pregnancy prank. Why will you use that all of a sudden?” He asked.

“Why do you always have to take everything so seriously? It is obvious you still don’t want to talk to me. It is fine. Do whatever pleases you. Bye!” She yelled, hanging up.

That should keep him away. From this moment on, Gael is the father of her unborn child and no one else.
