Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

NIA’S POV

“That asshole!”

I cursed as I spread the bedsheet for the fifth time since I woke up. I almost didn’t sleep through the whole night because I couldn’t get his words out of my head. Who the fuck does he think he is? Coming at me like that and saying he isn’t concerned about who I am. The audacity! He called me a clown. Me? A clown? That is just so below the belt; how dare he! Even if I am not born to a total household. I am a living being, and I should have as much respect as any other person would get. He is such a bastard!

I tried not to think about it when he came at me suddenly. Or it probably just didn’t dawn on me quickly. For a brief second, my stupid self almost fell for his change of heart. I thought we were getting to the point where we could be vulnerable with each other. Now that I think of it, I feel stupid. What was I thinking? Someone like Gael believes the world revolves around him, and any slight changes in the control he thinks he has would make him defensive. Like I am interested in anything he has to say.

Even though I do feel a bit interested in what he has to say, that still doesn’t change the fact that he is an asshole! I might be a half-breed. But I have a wolf just as much as he does. What idiot tries so hard to separate people’s identities? Only him, of course. I threw the sheet down in frustration, and I let out an ear-piercing scream while throwing myself into the bed. I could kill him right now, and I won’t feel any remorse. He deserves it. I wonder how those concubines of his deal with him.

But I must admit, I am super proud of how I handled the response, whether it got to him or not. I know always to put bullies in their place. Perry would be glad to hear it. But I don’t plan to tell her or anyone what happened between the Alpha and me these past days. All the same, it hurts like someone pierced me in my heart. Is this what it feels like to be unwanted? I have been unwanted all my life. Why does this one seem different? I keep asking questions that won’t be getting any response soon.

I accepted my supposedly doomed fate. I made a move to head to the bathroom when a knock came from behind the door. Before I could respond, it opened up, and to my shock, Perry stood there with a wide grin on her face.

I tilted my head to see if this was some prank. “What in the world are you doing here?”

Her usual loud laughter rolled out of her mouth as she walked towards me. “Girl, it’s me! How are you doing?” Perry walked towards me, pulling me into a tight hug.

I gasped, observing her in awe. “It’s you. Perry?”

“Yes, sweetheart. I am right here in the flesh. Come here.” She chuckled, hugging me again.

I wanted to burst into tears. Seeing Perry right now makes me so emotional. I held on to her as my life depended on it. “I can’t believe you are here. I am so happy to see you. What are you doing here? I thought the plan was to settle in New York.”

“Can you at least offer me a seat before bombarding me with questions?” Perry mused, taking off her jacket as she sat on the edge of the bed.

I sat next to her hurriedly, running my eyes all over her like she was entirely different. “I am sorry. I wasn’t expecting to see you. How did you know I was here?”

“You were always descriptive about the house’s location, and you have been talking about me a lot around here. The maid let me in the minute I mentioned my name.”

“They know I only have very few people in my life. You are important to me, you know.”

“Aww, I feel so special.”

“So, why are you back without prior notice? How about your paintings and the residency?”

“I have rounded up the residency for a while, and I already got a nice apartment with the sales of some of my paintings. Remember I mentioned it to you before. I already had it in mind to visit you soon. The news of my uncle’s health hastened the journey.”

“What’s wrong with the Beta? Ezra didn’t tell me anything.”

“Oh, it’s nothing serious. I will be here for a month before I return. So, I hope you have enough things to keep me busy.” She winked.

I laughed lightly; it’s been a long time since I last saw her, and despite our constant communication on the phone, I am surprised that I miss her so much. “It’s so delightful to see you again. I hope I won’t be much of a boring host.”

“I doubt if you will ever be.”

“Did you arrive this morning? How is your uncle?”

“No, I came in late last night. I have seen enough of him as it is. I will be spending my time here with you.”

My eyes shone brightly, “did you bring your bags here?”

“Sure, they are in the living room.”

I clapped my hands in excitement, “I love that. It will be pleasant to have you here. We can share a room again, just like before you left.”

Perry grinned from ear to ear. “I will love that too.”

“I wanted to wash up and head to the clinic. Why don’t you get some breakfast, and then I will join you.”

“Alright? Make it fast.” Perry said, making a face at me before she ran along.

It didn’t take long for me to get dressed and join Perry for breakfast. Her presence lifted my spirit, almost like I had no problems. Perry is a breath of fresh air. At least I won’t be missing the stuck-up Alpha’s presence for the next month.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“There isn’t anyone here.” She observed as we walked into the clinic.

“Well, there isn’t anyone with any complications. I make herbal portions for them, which are fine in no time. You should have seen this place when the pandemic was on. You could hardly see your feet as you moved. I only have two assistants now. The others have returned to the main hospital.” I explained, leading her to the office.

“I don’t think there is any need for the hospital to exist when you do all their work for them,” Perry noted.

“The pack members have survived with the help of the doctors until this moment. My job as the healer is to find lasting solutions to diseases that the doctors can’t understand. It’s more of a soul thing.” I wiggled my brows.

She snorted, hiding a smile. “Show off. Tell me, how is Kingston?”

I sighed heavily at the question. “We haven’t been able to talk to each other like before. I miss being free with Kingston.”

She reached for my hand. “Don’t worry yourself. One of these days, when you visit New York, the both of you will resolve whatever problem you might be having. For now, let’s go have fun.”

“Fun?” I yelled.

Perry eyeballed me. “Don’t you dare? There isn’t much to do here, and from all the labeled portions I am seeing, you already have healing locked down in your absence.” She said, nodding towards the shelves of healing potions.

“Where do you have in mind?” I said, giving in. I need the distraction.

“Anywhere that can be fun.” She replied in

excitement. “And I am sure you will love it.”

“I am in, then!” I screamed. I should at least get to live for once without worrying about the indecisive Alpha or Kingston.
