Chapter 26 The MessiahGAEL’S POVOutrageous! That's the only word I could conjure for the immature attitudes of the council members. They aren't thoughtful enough to tone down their excitement. Everyone knows how I feel about humans, not to talk of half-breeds, and here they are celebrating that they have a half-breed as their healer. I ousted myself from all the activities, including launching the new healing clinic and welcoming the healer.Not only does her presence cause a disruption in my belly. The healer's arrival brings back painful memories. I don't want to punish myself by reveling in the past again. Still, we are nothing without our pasts, and it's what makes us. For a moment, I wished the Beta and Ezra were mistaken about her, and she wouldn't be able to get the affected wolves back to their feet. To my greatest disappointment, she came back here victorious.The entire pack seems to worship her. She did serve as a messiah in her time of need. That still doesn't change tha
Chapter 27 Doing her jobAUTHOR’S POVShe was rushing into the house while fanning herself quickly to catch her breath. Stephanie mumbled some incoherent words under her breath. The shock was written all over her face. Kingston ran towards his mother."Is everything okay, mum?" He asked, heading back to get her water.She gulp down the entire content of the glass. Stephanie let a ridiculous burp. "Oh my goodness!" She let out, throwing her head to the back.Mindy stepped out of her room, making a face at her brother. "What's wrong with her?"Kingston shrugged, "I don't know."Stephanie raised her head, "where is Caleb and your father?""They are out," Mindy replied. "What's up with you.""You both would be blown away by what I am about to say." She said."I do have a place to be a mother. Can you say whatever it is already?" Kingston persuaded.Gasping dramatically, she rubbed at her forehead. "the pack's new healer is Nia."Looking at her brother, Mindy scoffed as she crossed her leg
Chapter 28 No abortionsNIA’S POVI sighed in delight, settling into my comforting office chair. I had asked the office to be in the same room where Perry does most of her paintings. That way, I get to reflect on our shared memories and have a soothing view that calms me after a long day. The diseases spread through the pack, and more people stream in daily. Just as Ezra had said, it didn't take long for the abandoned building to regain a new life, and I must admit there is some odd connection to it that makes me feel very calm. And it's not because of Perry.I am guessing the former healer's spirit is pleased with me, considering the mass spread of the strange disease. I'm working on a potion that we would inject into their bodies that way, they become immune to the disease. But I will need the go-ahead on the Alpha, which is nearly impossible, for the past two weeks since I became the official healer of this pack. He hasn't tried to meet up with me despite saving his pack from calam
Chapter 29 Loss of a ChildAUTHOR’S POVGemma paced the room back and forth, biting on her lips while clenching her fist simultaneously. Her insides churned as the thoughts raged through her head. All through the night, she kept turning and couldn't get an hour of sleep. She blames herself for being such a coward and running off. Instead of waiting to resolve whatever might be happening. If Gael finds out she has a hand in the death of his first child; Gemma can't be too sure of what his reaction would be. Snatching her phone and bag, she drove out of the house, heading towards the packhouse.She only hopes Sarah is still alive. If dead, Gael will get to the root of it, which means he will find out about her involvement in her death. She practically jumped out of the car and went into the clinic. Nia was stepping out of a ward when she bumped into Gemma."Perfect! Just the person I need." Gemma growled in an unfriendly tone.Nia stumbled to the back a bit, trying to keep a stance. "ho
Chapter 30 A royal childGAEL’S POV"This had better be a fucking joke!" I yelled, feeling my veins pop. "How did this happen?"Sarah stayed quiet on her knees, staring blankly at the ground like she intended to burn holes into it. "I am sorry, Alpha. I had a miscarriage."I hissed loudly, "are you even listening to yourself? How could you miscarry a royal child? Is this some joke?" I exclaimed.Pulling at my hair, I growled in anger. Even though I had been conflicted as regards the pregnancy, that didn't mean I wanted to get rid of my child. I was beginning to fantasize about the idea of having a mini-me running around. Be it from a concubine or Luna, and I don't intend to love any child of mine better than the other."I only left you aside for two weeks, Sarah. And you come back to me with an empty belly? What am I supposed to do with the news? I can have you strangled to death right now." I rambled, feeling my eyes sting."But it's not my fault!" She retorted, looking up at me with
Chapter 31 Freedom for SarahGAEL’S POVShe has been on my mind all night, and I hate that I can't get rid of that bitch. She accusing me of not paying attention to the supposed women I fuck, makes me mad. To make matters worse, last night, I had taken a walk and found myself in front of the house the healer lives in. I hate that I can't control the direction my legs go many times. I didn't know Ezra had been going behind my back to form friendships with an outcast like her. They were having a good time on the porch of the house, laughing at some stupid joke, I am sure. He was supposed to spend time with me and console me for the death of my pup, instead, he gave an excuse saying he had an important meeting to attend. That's his intended destination.My head ached from the sleepless night. But it's not just about the stupid healer; may the goddess forgive me for hating on her messenger. Still, that doesn't mean I fancy her taste in people. Who picks an inadequate folk to represent the
Chapter 32 Huge PayNIA’S POVI curled up against the couch, feeling deflated after dialing Perry for a long time, and she didn't pick up. There was Kingston, too, but he had a job and was busy attempting to reach the deadline. Weekends appear longer now that I have my days treating people. The assistants handle the patients and only call me in during an emergency. There are no life-threatening occurrences as of late. But I am still very keen on that vaccine, and after discussing it with Ezra, he promised to table it during the week. The Alpha shouldn't have a problem approving it since I am the healer, and I know what suits the people. But I want to fulfill all due protocols. That Alpha of theirs is terrifying.The doorbell rang, and my assigned maid rushed to the door to get it. Even though I have pleaded with Ezra that I do not need help around the house. He said there was no other way around it. All healers are royalty; even though it's been a while now, I am still not quite used
Chapter 33 Consoling NiaAUTHOR’S POV"I can't believe she has such a huge amount of money to her name!" Caleb gasped when his mother and sister narrated their visit to Nia.Stephanie slurped on the juice she was drinking. "You need to have seen her face. Now that I think of it, I should have made her send all the money. She is still as dumb as she was before. I am thankful that none of my children is as pathetic as her.""We got her good." Mindy cackled.Kingston walked down the stairs with furrowed brows. He had no intention to listen in on their conversation, but they were a bit loud. Kingston heard them mention Nia and some money collection. That had gotten him curious, and he thought to check."what's going on?""Oh, Mum and Mindy got eight thousand bucks from Nia," Caleb yelled, not taking note of the signal his mother was sending to him to keep quiet. "That girl is nothing short of a money-making machine. At this rate, our family will lack nothing."His lashes fluttered as he l
