Chapter 41 Her Outburst

• GAEL’S POV
• I sighed as I leaned against a tree trunk, staring at the dark sky with the stars complimenting its state. For some unknown reason, I find myself taking strolls towards the garden. Maybe I do have something that I am so not going to admit in mind. Or I might need to stretch my legs. The day just went in a haze. Not having Ezra to taunt and frustrate isn't fun at all. He left the pack on an official assignment and wouldn't be back until the end of the week. It feels like torture since I will have to be stuck with Gemma.
• She keeps showing her face daily, and I wouldn't say I like it. It gets lonely sometimes. Not even the tons of concubines I have can fill up that emptiness. Many times, I reflect on when my parents were alive. Life was good then; I had bright hopes for the future and wanted nothing more but to grow old with them. I learned that good things don't last, and it scared me. I know this lifestyle of mine will only complicate my toxic life. But then it's the only thing I do that excites me. Ruling the pack doesn’t exit me this much.
