Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

GAEL’S POV

I inhaled the air of the musty room, which might sound weird, but I like the smell that comes from the gathering of so many people in one place. It lets me feast my bright eyes on the most beautiful of all and make her mine. It’s no longer news that the male population of the pack hates me. It’s not like I care. I am the Alpha of the Sunset Pack, and I would get whoever and whatever I want. That is the perk of being the leader.

My eyes roamed the room as I searched for my interest for the night. She is supposed to come to me today. I don’t need to worry much about her refusing me because many of my concubines willingly give themselves off to me. However, I am generous enough to pay a reasonable amount for them. I try to make my subjects happy. Being a delight to the eyes, people with good eyesight love to feast on me. For some reason, I find myself unnecessarily patient with this new girl.

I have been seeking her face for a long while, but she fades off like Cinderella, and the only difference is she doesn’t precisely wear or own a glass slipper. During one of my random mall tours, I saw her innocently leaving the place. Since then, I have asked my men to monitor her closely. Without too much ado, her parents were ready to sell her off to me without hesitation. I get her tonight, and they get paid. It’s always a very juicy transaction, and I can’t wait to roam my long fingers on her milk skin tonight and have her wiggle under my weight, which could either be in pain or pleasure. I don’t give a fuck, as long as I am enjoying every bit of it.

“Are you at it again?” A displeased tone bickered behind me.

Pouting tiredly, I turned to stare at her. “What is it, Gemma?”

Gemma folded her arms angrily, “why do you always have to do this to me? Don’t you have tons of women at your beck and call? Why are you still desperate for more?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I furrowed my brows, staring blankly at her. “Are you questioning my authority right now?”

She gulped slowly, “I didn’t mean it like that. I think the party is beginning to get to me.”

“Then go find something to do or, better still, get some sleep. Could you not make me lose it? I am enjoying the night too much as it is.” I warned.

She sauntered away hurriedly, leaving me to my thoughts. As much as I desire Gemma, she still has to know her place. I don’t fancy people who try to act too important in my life. It irks the shit out of me. I groaned when I couldn’t see my intention anymore. She had been talking to one ginger-haired guy the other time, and I had sent one of my girls to him to whisper to his ears not to try anything stupid. Turns out he is her mate.

A devilish grin appeared on my face, and the young man looked like he would throw up when he turned away from her. Somebody must have broken his heart, poor guy. They would have difficulty getting over each other, but I am sure they would be fine. It can’t be that bad. I want to laugh out loud so severely. It feels good to have that much control.

Motioning towards the head of guards, he ran a few steps to me. “Yes, Alpha.”

“Where is the girl? She is supposed to be given out to me tonight. I don’t know what’s going on and why I can’t see her. Ensure to find her.” I ordered. “While doing that, bring those bloody parents to me.”

She and her family had better not play funny with me. I have had cases of some families agreeing to sell off their daughters and eventually backing out because they feel sorry for themselves. I don’t take unfulfilled promises lightly, so I always keep my end of the bargain by paying them handsomely.

“If it isn’t the man of the hour.” The Beta’s second-in-command and my best friend, Ezra, taunted.

I snickered, downing the rest of my champagne. “What do you want from me?”

“I thought you were taking a new interest tonight. Why are you looking like someone who got dumped along the way?”

I glare at him, “For a subject, you have a big mouth. I am still your Alpha, you know.” If not for Ezra being more of a brother to me than a friend, I would have loved to wring his neck. Frustrating me is his favorite playtime.

He laughed heartily, “Talk to me. What’s going on?”

I didn’t get to respond before my guards dragged in the parents of the intended girl. My face morphed into a tight frown.

“Where is she?” I growled.

The wife appeared to have a bolder look, unlike the husband, who seemed to quiver a little-such an imbecile. “I have asked my daughter to get her, dear Alpha. You don’t need to worry.”

A cold snort escaped my lips, “you think I am worried? If I smell a bit of foul play around here, I promise to teach you and your entire family a lesson you will never be able to forget in a lifetime. Keep them by the side.” I instructed.

Ezra was no doubt stifling a laugh, and he is the only one who disregards me when I am trying to play a tyrant. “What if you end up not liking her?” He whispered in my ear.

“Shut up!” I retorted. The intention is not to like her. I need a new play toy. Sometimes, most of the ladies end up working as my maids when they eventually don’t catch my interest. I can’t have my money go to waste, so they have to work without getting paid. “I want this one in particular.” I grinned.

“No one catches your interest better than Gemma. You should forget about all of this and settle with her.”

“Not here, Ezra. I am having a party, and I only want to enjoy every bit of it. Get the fuck out of my ear!” He raised his hands in surrender. “Alright, I am on my way. Have fun.”

My patience began to run thin after Ezra left; the party didn’t seem so appealing anymore. The lots were super drunk and acting horny. I think I am ready to get out of here. My thoughts halted when loud murmurs bounced through every corner of the room, and people seemed to be moving out of the way to give room to whoever was making a fuss. A smirk formed on my lips when the guards dragged her to me with her hair. My night feels complete.
