Chapter 16
Alex looked at his beta, Zander, who was standing with the medicines envelope. “He almost killed me. And Gabriel isn’t even scared of his own father. If I knew Amelie were here, I would have never come here p>
“You couldn’t have escaped me, Alex,” Gabriel said, pushing the door open. Behind him was Karmen in his poised look.
Gabriel stepped inside while Zander lowered his eyes, taking a step away. On the other hand, Alex asked Gabriel not to come closer to him. He wondered if the eldest prince couldn’t either stop Gabriel. He gazed at Gabriel’s hands, which were empty.
“I told you none could save you from my wrath, Alex,” Gabriel said.
“Please, don’t do this. I beg you,” Alex joined his both hands.
“Clean Amelie’s image. Tell in your pack that you lied about her. Also, don’t tell anyone where Amelie is. If you do it in a day, I may forgive you and let you live,” Gabriel put forward his condition.
“I-I will do it,” Alex said promptly. Zander glanced at him, but didn’t utter any word.
“Good. If I find a single soul, speaking against Amelie and her character, the silver dagger will find the place right in your chest, Alex. No one can stop me from doing that,” Gabriel pronounced. He then turned around and simply walked out of his sight.
“Please do what Prince Gabriel has told you. Miss Amelie’s name has been maligned when it was your fault, Alex. Your car is outside the hospital,” Karmen told him before walking behind Gabriel.
In the elevator, Karmen asked Gabriel, “What if your father questions you about this incidence? The eldest prince may report to him. You may again get negative points in the King’s eyes p>
“And what will I do with my dad’s numbering system?” Gabriel arched his eyebrow. “Don’t worry about such trivial matters. What worries me is how to make Amelie understand that she is the connection I’ve been missing for a long time p>
“You two spent a night together even after you found out she was pregnant?” Karmen frowned, wondering what was in Gabriel’s mind. Was it truly the matebond he desperately looking for?
The elevator reached the ground floor and they both stepped out of it.
“She needed help and I did,” Gabriel replied. “And Karmen, don’t judge Amelie. She didn’t know she would get rejected. She hadn’t revealed her pregnancy to anyone in her pack after getting the rejection,” he asserted.
Karmen nodded, unable to understand why Gabriel was doing all of this when he couldn’t even feel that scent from Amelie. ’God knows what’s in the Alpha Prince’s mind!’ He silently followed Gabriel to his car.
“Sir, what will happen now Gabriel fought with his elder brother?” Amelie asked with a worried gaze. She couldn’t stay in the room after Gabriel suddenly left and came downstairs to find out more about the matter.
“Miss, nothing will happen. It has always been like this between the brothers,” Albus replied with a small assuring smile to her.
“Oh. I am sorry for burdening all of you,” Amelie said, lowering her eyes. “Please forgive me for the inconveniences I’ve provided to all of you p>
“Miss Amelie, please don’t apologize. If a mother wants to save her child, she can go to any lengths. You didn’t do anything wrong, except for finding a safe place for yourself,” Albus stated with a tone of understanding. “Prince Gabriel has been smiling frequently ever since he brought you here. I believe it’s because he senses his mate in you p>
The positive attitude of Albus made Amelie feel much better than before. But about being mates she was still unsure. ’Will the Moon Goddess even give me a second chance mate? I don’t want a mate anymore,’ she thought. ’And even Gabriel wants to confirm yet who I am to him p>
“Miss Amelie, when we are young we make mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly. As you grow old, those mistakes don’t bother you but you definitely get lessons from them. Maybe you meet Prince Gabriel because the Moon Goddess wanted you to. It wasn’t your fault primarily to get pregnant. You didn’t know your mate would refuse to accept you, let alone this growing pup inside you. Didn’t you run away to save both of you from him? Now, you have escaped, it’s the time to embrace this new life p>
Albus words were full of wisdom, which he gathered after so many years. His words were warm and compassionate. Amelie realized her own family never talked with her with such softness. Even on the phone call, they were blaming her. She felt grateful for this sucessful escape because she could at least find out the better people in this place.
“Miss Amelie, you should go to your room. Don’t be worried anymore. And look forward to enjoy your life,” Albus stated, smiling at her.
“Yes, Sir. Thank you. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I heard them for the first time from an elder and it makes me feel good about my decision,” Amelie stated.
“Anytime, Miss Amelie p>
“I will stay here and wait for Gabriel to return,” Amelie said.
“Sure p>
A servant approached Albus with a list of goods for his approval.
’I will use this chance well. I will not look back anymore. I hope Alex got his lesson today and won’t bother me anymore. I don’t have to do anything with them either. They abandoned me first and I will never accept them in this life, at least. Even if they beg me, I refuse to go back there and get humiliated every single day. I will build a future for myself here,’ Amelie thought.
“Miss Amelie, what do you wish to wear for the annual gala?” Albus’s voice suddenly interrupted her and she tilted her head to look at him.
“There are a lot of dresses in the wardrobe,” Amelie replied.
“They are for your regular use,” Gabriel’s voice reached her ears and she quickly stood up from her seat. “After twelve years, I’ll be attending the gala and I want my partner to be the most beautiful lady that night p>
