Chapter 26
Gabriel examined the body of the spy and took off the gloves. He pressed the foot on the dustbin, thus opening it and throwing the gloves in them.
“Gabriel, what do you think has happened?” Karmen asked. “The doctor said that it’s not poisoning. At the same time, there are no external injuries on the body either p>
“A forbidden technique is used in killing him,” Gabriel said with a frown.
“What do you mean?” Karmen questioned.
“That dark methods are getting popular among the wolves. Since the Blood Dominion isn’t in our control, whoever their Alpha leader is, they don’t hesitate in using such inhuman methods,” Gabriel explained to him.
“Isn’t that threatening for us?” Karmen asked. “Prince Gabriel needs to inform his father about it,” he opined.
“Hmm. I will,” Gabriel replied. The two of them stepped out of the mortuary.
“Has Louis arrived?” he inquired.
“Yes. He is already waiting for you. I wonder why you suddenly summoned him,” Karmen confusedly gazed at him.
“Louis is resourceful, that’s why,” Gabriel replied.
“Yes, but you should know that he’s not trustworthy either. He has fooled you in the past regarding the information of your mate,” Karmen reminded him.
“Indeed, but I gained something in return too,” Gabriel answered and went ahead of his beta. Arriving the mansion, they both entered the private room, where Louis awaited him.
Seeing him, Louis immediately left his seat, greeting Gabriel in a humble bow.
“Prince Gabriel looks so bright today. I can feel the exceptional glow on his face,” Louis said with a smirk as he met his gaze.
“Stop with your flattering, Louis,” Gabriel said and settled on the sofa chair.
“Why did Prince Gabriel summon me?” Louis asked, sitting across from him. He gazed at Karmen, not liking his presence.
“I want you to find a witch with this mark,” Gabriel asserted, taking out a slip from the inner pocket of his blazer. He placed it on the table and tapped on it. “Inform me when you found a witch with this mark,” he pronounced.
Louis picked up the slip and studied the mark drew on it. “I have never seen such a mark before,” he murmured with a confused gaze.
“That’s why I have chosen you to find out about it,” Gabriel stated.
“I thought you stopped believing in me three years ago,” Louis remarked.
Gabriel and Louis had studied together in the same school and even college. Louis father was the advisor to his father and served the Alpha King even now. However, they could never get on same terms because of various reasons, one of them was the deception Louis gave him regarding his mate.
“Did you find your mate, Gabriel? I heard you are sheltering a woman,” Louis said with a smirk.
“Did Casaio inform you?” Gabriel arched his eyebrow.
“You still don’t respect your eldest brother, do you?” Louis asked him.
“Why do you care about that?” Gabriel squinted his eyes. He then relaxed on the couch, resting his one leg above the other. “Three years ago you deceived me and sent me to a hellish place just because my brother wanted it. However, I think everything happens for a reason,” he affirmed with a smirk.
Louis smiled to hear that. “So, Prince Gabriel wants to trust me,” he again asked to confirm.
“Yes,” Gabriel replied. “Since I’ve found my mate, so I want to forgive you p>
Louis was surprised to hear him. “The forgiveness doesn’t exist in Gabriel’s dictionary. That’s what you’d told me a long time ago,” he reminded him.
“Consider it my generosity, Louis,” Gabriel said.
“Alright,” Louis agreed and put the slip into his wallet. “Will you bring your mate to the gala? Is she in the mansion? If yes, it would be a pleasure to see her. I think I will thank her today because she’s the reason you forgave me. I am curious to know how you found your mate,” he stated with a smirk.
“You asked too many questions from me,” Gabriel remarked. The phone in his pocket rang and he checked it. “You are dismissed, Louis. Thank you for coming here,” he said and he left the room to attend Amelie’s call.
“Yes, Amelie?” Gabriel asked as he stood at the garden’s center, his other hand tucked in his pocket.
“Sir, your schedule says you have a meeting in the evening with Ruben Grimrose,” she informed him. “I know you told me you wouldn’t be available, but I think you need to attend this meeting, Sir p>
“Hmm. Is it in the office?” Gabriel questioned.
“Umm… No. It’s in the townhall center in the Moon Obsidian hotel,” Amelie replied.
“Alright. I hope to see you there then,” Gabriel said.
Amelie was about to hang up when Gabriel continued, “You are enjoying the work, right? And if there are any troubles p>
“Sir, I’m enjoying it. And there’s no trouble at all. I’ll hang up the phone then,” Amelie said and the call disconnected.
She looked at the screen going off and recalled the earlier conversation that she had overheard among the office colleagues. They were talking how Gabriel took in a female secretary, which never happened before. Some of them even talked about her bad character, saying she might have thrown herself on Gabriel.
“Amelie, aren’t you coming for the lunch?” A soft masculine voice fell into her ears and she lifted her head.
“Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I am Denzel Warner,” he introduced himself as he stepped into the cabin. “I am the gamma of Alpha Gabriel and here I work as the manager,” he added, extending his hand for the handshake.
Amelie rose to her feet promptly. “I am Amelie Conley. Nice to meet you, Denzel,” she said and shook hands with him.
“Let’s have our lunch before the break ends,” Denzel stated after they pulled back their hand. “And I’m looking forward to be your friend p>
“Sure.” Amelie smiled and put the phone in her pocket before heading out of the cabin. ’Did Gabriel send Denzel?’ she thought.
