Chapter 75
The next morning, Gabriel sipped the morning black tea alone in his room when Albus knocked on the door.
“May I come inside, Master?” he asked.
“Yes,” Gabriel replied and lowered the cup of the black tea on the saucer.
Albus bowed to Gabriel before speaking. “Last night Mrs. Conley had called. She wished to speak to her daughter, Miss Amelie,” he informed Gabriel. “Rest assured, I have had instructed the servants earlier. However, this morning again Mrs. Conley called, saying it’s important p>
“Shouldn’t she be coming here begging me to let her see Amelie?” The frown on Gabriel’s face was a clear with of displeasure.
Albus lowered his eyes, not responding.
“Don’t be bothered about such petty matters,” Gabriel told him.
“Sure, Master.” He turned around to leave and walked out of the door simply.
“Amelie’s family wants her to forgive them,” Gabriel chuckled when an idea struck his mind. “Why didn’t I think of this before?” He thought and picked up the cup again to finish the black tea.
He closed his eyes, inhaling Amelie’s fragrance, which still lingered in the room. “I told her to rest, but I don’t understand her love for cooking,” he murmured. Finishing the tea, he picked up his phone and called Denzel.
“Find out David Conley’s number and give it to me,” Gabriel instructed the gamma. Since Karmen was out to solve an important work, Gabriel didn’t want to disturb with this issue.
Handing up on the call, he tossed the phone on the couch and made his way out to check on Amelie.
Reaching the kitchen’s door, he watched how Amelie and the maids engrossed in their own conversations. ’Did she always look this radiant?’ he thought.
’I think she’s glowing because of our mark,’ Valko said with joy.
’Yeah. She’s chosen a dress that hides her mark. I don’t like it,’ Gabriel thought. Just then, Amelie’s eyes met his and she stiffened at her place.
The maids too stopped speaking as they saw the prince there.
“There’s still time for breakfast,” Amelie said.
“I know,” Gabriel replied. He then walked to her, stopping right beside her. “Why have not worn a better top?” he whispered in her ear, his lips brushed her earlobe, sending a shiver down her spine.
“Wait outside,” Amelie whispered.
“Are you ordering me?” Gabriel arched his brow.
Amelie could sense the maids’ eyes on them and she walked out while Gabriel followed her.
“I didn’t order you. So many maids were present, so I simply wanted you to wait,” Amelie replied while fidgeting with her fingers.
Gabriel noticed the red hue spread across her cheeks and tucked the lose strand behind her ear. “It’s not easy to wait,” he whispered, his hand cradled her neck.
“Why did you wear a turtle-neck top?” Gabriel questioned.
“Doesn’t it look beautiful?” Amelie smiled.
“It does, but it hides my mark on you,” Gabriel answered. “I hoped you would’ve showed off the mark to everyone. You got the mark of mine,” he stated.
Amelie peered into his eyes, studying them. ’He wants others to see it,’ she thought.
“Amelie,” Gabriel called her name before burying his face in the crook of her neck, peperring slow kisses along her jawline.
“Someone may–may see us,” Amelie murmured, unable to stand straight. Her knees were getting weak.
“You bother yourself a lot about the others,” he pronounced, stopping for her sake.
“I will be embarassed,” Amelie said.
“Do you want to see your mother?” Gabriel suddenly asked her.
“Huh?” She flustered by his question. “Did my mother call again?” Her brows furrowed together.
“Hmm. Last night,” Gabriel replied.
“I–I don’t want to see her,” Amelie answered. “I’m sorry that they are pestering you,” she apologized.
“You shouldn’t apologize for others’ fault,” Gabriel said.
“Uhm… Uhm p>
Karmen interrupted them by coughing.
“I’ll go to the kitchen then,” Amelie said and went inside.
“Sorry for interrupting your romantic moment, Gabriel,” Karmen teased him.
“I didn’t expect you to be here at this hour.” Gabriel turned to face his beta.
“I gathered the information quite earlier than expected,” Karmen answered. They both walked toward the garden to talk in private.
“The autopsy report of the wolf is out. I found out that the wolf was killed an hour before throwing him into the east wing of the mansion,” Gabriel replied. “The wolf is identified as a regular omega, grabbed from the streets. He had no family p>
“Who did this?” Gabriel asked.
“The former alpha of Night Fangs Pack,” Karmen answered. “I found out he formed a big rogue group p>
“He didn’t learn his lesson, did he?” Gabriel chuckled.
“Gabriel, it is a serious matter this time. He has connections with the Blood Dominion’s alpha. That’s a rumor I got to know from the rogue wolves, but seeing how quickly he gathered the forces, I don’t think it’s a simple rumor,” he explained.
“Then, should we eliminate this entire rogue group? How many wolves does it consist of?” Gabriel inquired.
“More than two hundred. They also have healers. I couldn’t find the count of them since it has been kept a secret,” Karmen stated.
“Hmm. We can’t let the traitors live. If we let any of them live, they will only be a trouble for us in the future. It’s better to end everyone of them,” Gabriel pronounced, making a stern decision.
“What about the she-wolves?” Karmen asked.
“I don’t care,” Gabriel answered. “Why do you look so hesitant p>
“Why don’t you use a less merciless path? I mean… It’s not tough for us to eliminate them. However, you have got a mate, Gabriel. You need to be careful now,” Karmen advised him.
“No one can touch Amelie,” Gabriel said.
“Of course. But you never know the future. Also, people may criticise you more for your ruthless ways. I know you do it for them, but they won’t see the good you are doing for them,” Karmen stated while being truthful.
Gabriel hummed and thanked him for such an advise. “I’ll think about it. Thank you for your hardwork. Have breakfast before going to rest,” he
