Chapter 22 Her PassionAUTHOR’S POVSettling himself into the chair reserved for him at the dining table. Ezekiel let out a tired cough. The situation of the pack's health care has him working twice as hard, but the presence of Ezra makes it at least easy for him to run around without feeling too exhausted. But it still doesn't change that he might be getting too old for the job. A small smile tugged at his lips, "Wow, this is a surprise seeing you at the table with us, Perry." It's been a long time since he last saw his niece. It's almost like they are strangers. She hardly comes home or acknowledges anyone. It worries the older man, being unable to make his brother's children happy makes him feel unfulfilled. Perry smiled genuinely at him, "I am sorry I haven't been coming around." "I hope you are coming to apologize to me?" Gemma said, eyeing her viciously. "And why would I apologize to you?" Asked Perry. Ezra inhaled while holding his sister's hand under the table with a slig

Chapter 24 Nia, the healerGAEL’S POV"Baby." Gemma moaned in my ears. Despite my busy state glaring in her face, she is still trying to get me to pay her attention. Part for the reasons she would never be a candidate even if the day comes that I am willing to settle. The pack is reaching its breaking point, and here she is, doing everything she can to get me in the mood. I woke up too early because she spent the night with me. She chose to follow me down here to the study. I hissed, feeling irritated by her persistence. "Can you stop this right now, Gemma? I am trying to concentrate here. I have told you several times to return home. Go make peace with your family, and let me have some peace." A loud gasp escaped her lips. "Gael? I thought. I was the one who always brought you sanity amidst the chaos. What's this you are saying now?" Groaning inwardly, I felt like pulling my eyelid off. "Gemma, please leave. I need some time alone. Go to the room and stay there until I am ready

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 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 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
