Alpha Of Darkness And The Half-Breed Healer

NIA’S POV I have never been so confused in my entire life, and the more I shook Perry hard, the more flashes of the night my father lost his life kept returning. Mustering every strength, I lifted her off the ground, running towards the exit. A fine-looking man rushed in, almost colliding with myself and Perry. Even in my disheveled state, I can tell how much of a fine person he is. “What happened to her?” He asked, his face scrunched up in concern. “I don’t know. Perry just passed out.” The man didn’t wait for me to finish my sentence before he took her from me and left. For security’s sake, I followed him. He seemed familiar with the packhouse as he opened the door to a room and placed her on the bed. It took me a long minute after she rambled on the phone for a doctor, and I realized they were siblings. The resemblance is so striking that only blind folk wouldn’t notice.

I stayed quietly by the door while Perry got treated. The assistant Beta looked worried. I felt pity for him. “She is dehydrated and malnourished. You would need to pay close attention to her diet.” The doctor said before leaving. “I can’t believe this. I should have known Perry would do this to herself. What in the world were you thinking.” The assistant Beta bellowed at a weak-looking Perry. They administered some water that seemed to restore her to life. Her pale face brought tears to my eyes. She turned her face away from her brother. “What do you care about? It’s not like you ever have my time. It’s all about your duty to the Alpha. You don’t need to bother about me. I have a friend now.” Perry said weakly, taking a long sip of the water a maid had brought her. Her brother hissed in irritation, “And who are you?” He finally acknowledged my presence. His brows connected like he was thinking. “Are you the half-breed?” I nodded slowly in response, “Yes, sir.” “Is she the supposed friend?” He asked in a mocking tone. “perfect!” Perry struggled to pull herself up. “Don’t talk to her like that, Ezra! I expect better of you.” He has an excellent name that compliments his looks, even though his description doesn’t exactly match his current attitude toward me. But I don’t mind. I like handsome he-wolves. Ezra pulled at his hair in evident frustration. “That isn’t the case. She being your friend means you both are in much danger. You are more of an outcast. She because of her natural birth and you because you have ousted everyone out of your life.” “So, you think acting stupid like Gemma is the best way to have people around? As you can see, Nia here is a good one, and she stood by me even when I could have been dead.” Perry hissed. “If you came home regularly, it could have been avoided!” He yelled. “I would prefer sleeping on the cold floor here in the packhouse than staying in the walls of that doomed house!” She raised her voice too. Just when I thought the sibling’s drama would end. Ezra went on one knee, staring at his sister with fear. “You make it very hard for me to stand by you, Perry. Ever since my mother died, you keep pushing me away. Even if you do that to everybody, you shouldn’t do that to me. I miss you. How could you have gotten so careless with your health? I feel so bad that I have been stuffing my face with food while my baby sister goes hungry. Stop pushing me away, please.” “Leave, Ezra. I don’t want to talk to you right now. Just go!” She ordered, looking away. Without a word, Ezra dragged himself out with his head hung low. I wonder what sort of ruckus might be going on in his mind. Most importantly, I wonder why I am in the middle of all this. Exhaling slowly, I sat on the edge of the bed, patting Perry’s feet. “Are you okay? What would you like to eat?” I asked. She sniffed back the tears in her eyes. “I’m sure my brother has asked half the maids to serve me different mouthwatering meals. He is so annoying.” “I think he just loves you so much.” “I can’t wait to leave him and this doomed pack. Being far away would save everyone the stress of worrying about me.” My heart sank a bit at her resolution. Perry leaving means I would have no one around here to talk to. My reply hung in the air when the door opened, and three maids walked in with food trays in hand, just as Perry had predicted. The maids arranged the food in front of her, and in the process, I got side eyes from the familiar maids. They seem always to find every chance to get at me. “Are your eyes malfunctioning?” Perry barked at them in her weak state. They quickly shrunk back into their shell, leaving the room. “Thank you,” I whispered She scoffed, “Stop apologizing. How long do you think you will be able to last if you keep hiding away from these bullies? You don’t owe them anything, and they need to respect you. It’s not your fault that you are a half-breed, and nobody should blame your parents either.” “It’s okay. Don’t exhaust your energy, please. You need to eat.” I advised, serving her a plate to eat. As I watched her eat quietly, I wished for her life, not out of spite, though. There is someone like her brother in my life in the person of Kingston. However, the show of affection is quite limited. I have to wait ages to hear from him. The goddess wasn’t so considerate when she blessed my conception. With Perry determined to leave the pack, I might as well keep my distance. Getting used to her would only leave a burning hole inside me when she is nowhere close. “What are you thinking about?” She asked, groaning in pain. I stood up quickly, “are you okay? Do you need me to get you something?” “I should be the one asking you that. I’m sorry if I spoke too harshly. Sometimes, I don’t think before talking.” “It’s alright. Your eyes look tired, and you should sleep now. I will be here when you wake up.” Perry was a bit hesitant, but she eventually relaxed herself and slept off. I sat still for about twenty minutes and suddenly felt restless. I want to take a long run in the woods and try not to burden myself with the image of the loving siblings I got subjected to today. Inhaling deeply, I leaned into the bed frame as I moved to the other side of the bed to pat Perry’s hair gently. Closing my eyes, I let the silence envelop me. It didn’t take long for sleep to evade my body.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
