Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 103: Into that darkness

Casaio sent back Dominick and Katelyn while he walked into the room. He found Gabriel sitting on the chair, staring blankly at Amelie.

"Skye said Amelie was fine," Casaio said.

"Why didn’t you let me kill Alex that day?" Gabriel tilted his head to look at his eldest brother. "If I had ended him that day, all of this wouldn’t have happened."

Casaio held the infuriated gaze of his brother before tucking his hands into the pockets of his trousers.

"Why do you think killing someone is the answer to everything?" Casaio questioned him.

"Ending the problem is the solution," Gabriel replied. "You won’t understand what it feels to be loved. Unlike me, you got everything Casaio. I only have Amelie and her pup, who love me. In their presence, I feel that I belong somewhere too," he asserted.

Casaio brought his hand to his head. "I apologize for stopping you that day," he said and walked to the bed. He looked at Amelie before continuing, "How did Alex know where Amelie was in the day?" he asked in confusion.

"Jodie joined hands with him. And do you know who told Jodie everything about Amelie?" Gabriel’s voice again rose before answered himself, "Katelyn. My own sister invited my ex for a lunch and introduced my mate to her. That’s why I don’t trust any of you. My own family wants bad for me."

Casaio shook his head. "That’s not true. Katelyn must have made mistake. Let’s not argue further." He didn’t wish to turn the wardroom into a battleground by infuriating Gabriel. He then excused himself and turned around.

"You should go home," Gabriel said.

"Let me do my brotherly duties," Casaio asserted before walking away. As he closed the door behind him, he pinched the skin between his brows and went ahead.

As the dawn broke, Amelie’s sleep broke too. She took in her surroundings only to find she was in the hospital. Her hands moved over her belly, caressing it while feeling the presence of her pup.

"Gabriel," Amelie whispered as she saw him on the chair, sleeping.

Hearing her voice, he immediately opened his eyes and leaned forward. "Ame!" He held both of her hands and peered into her eyes. "How do you feel? I’m sorry for disappearing last night." He kissed the knuckles of her hands.

"Much better. I don’t know why I suddenly got a pain in my womb," Amelie murmured.

Gabriel’s grip on her hands turned firmer, but he didn’t say a word. "I’ll call the doctor," he said.

"Hmm."

He reluctantly left her side, but before he could step out, Skye walked in as per her morning duty schedule while yawning.

"Oh, you are awake! How are you feeling?" Skye asked, skimming through the paper in her hand.

"Better now," Amelie said. "Just my head feels heavy. Is my baby alright?" she asked.

"Yes. They are absolutely fine," Skye assured her. She placed the cardboard on the bedside table and turned on the light to check Amelie’s eyes. After that, she checked her pulse rate.

Noting them on the paper attached to the cardboard, she said, "You are ready to be discharged."

Amelie smiled, feeling relieved. "But what was the cause of such a sudden pain?" she inquired.

Skye made an eye contact with Gabriel. "I’ve explained to you mate about this. He will tell you. But it was nothing serious," she stated, patting her hand and walking away.

Amelie gazed at Gabriel, who remained standing in silence.

"Tell me," she asked.

"Let’s go home first," Gabriel suggested.

The nurse walked in shortly to remove the IV needle from Amelie’s hand and pasted a band-aid on the back of her palm. "Please sign here," the nurse told Gabriel, forwarding the documents on a file. He quickly signed them and the nurse handed him the discharge paper.

"Thank you," Gabriel told her.

He helped Amelie get down the bed and gave her the clothes to change. She went to the attached washroom while Gabriel waited for her outside.

He took out the phone from his pocket before dialing Karmen’s number.

As the call answered, Gabriel ordered, "Arrest Jodie right away."

Inside the palace, shortly after the King returned from his morning run, Lester approached him with urgent news regarding a disturbance in the Red River Pack the previous night.

"Ethan Morgan contacted the palace late last night, requesting immediate intervention to stop Prince Gabriel," Lester reported. "However, due to the late hour, we chose not to disturb Your Majesty."

Raiden settled into the sofa, reaching for a glass of water. "Is there anything else I should know?" he asked after taking a sip and placing the glass on the table.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lester continued. "According to the latest intelligence gathered from Prince Casaio, Miss Amelie was attacked once again yesterday while having lunch with Princess Katelyn. Upon investigation, it was revealed that her own sister orchestrated the attack. However, it appears to have been part of a broader scheme devised by Alex Morgan. He not only ordered the attack on Miss Amelie, but also issued a directive to eliminate her family members attempting to cross the border. David Conley sustained critical injuries, and the whereabouts of his wife remain unknown."

Raiden’s expression darkened, his brows furrowing.

"So, Amelie’s presence has already begun to bring destruction," spoke Queen Mabel, who entered the room. Lester bowed respectfully while she approached the King, offering him a composed morning greeting.

"I warned you," Mabel said calmly. "Gabriel and Amelie should never have been allowed to be together. This is only the beginning. The consequences will escalate from here."

Raiden shook his head slowly, his tone firm. "Did you not hear why all of this happened? Alex was targeting Amelie. He wanted her dead."

Mabel’s gaze remained fixed on him. "And Gabriel responded by unleashing chaos upon the Red River Pack. Do you even know how many wolves he killed last night?" She took a brief pause and glanced at Lester, "Tell you King."

"Over one hundred. All died from silver bullets, Your Majesty," Lester replied.

Mabel then continued, "Gabriel had refrained from such violence for years. But ever since Amelie entered his life, he’s slipping further into that darkness."

She stepped closer to the sofa chair. "This is the beginning, Raiden. The High Priestess warned me regarding the same chaos, where the blood kept spilling. If you still choose to ignore me, then don’t come looking for sympathy when everything starts to crumble because you refused to stop Gabriel from marrying Amelie."
