Chapter 607
Gabriel moved faster than any eye could follow him. He didn’t just stab her; he drove the sword through her chest from the front. Casaio fell to the ground while Gabriel moved with all his strength, pressing her body to the wall of the house she was living all this time.
Ophelia clutched Gabriel’s hand, which was on the sword’s hilt, still trying to use her remaining strength to leave the darkness behind.
“You and your daughter were the culprits feon the beginning. You both deserved to die in the same life time, Ophelia. You played a victim card just like Anaya did in that lifetime and took the lives of the innocent people. Your curse did damage to me, but I had the blessing of someone in whom I had my faith all these years. The Moon Goddess. She gives the strength to us wolves p>
Gabriel twisted the blade into her heart, wanting to burst it open. His violet eyes shimmered violently.
“Let me go. Please. It’s-it’s painful,” Ophelia pleaded as her very soul was dissipating. Her long nails screeched Gabriel’s skin on the hands, but he didn’t step back until Ophelia was completely finished.
He pulled out the sword from the wooden block as blood dripped from its sharp edge. The moon was at its peak, so Casaio recovered fast in its light. He rushed to Dominick, driving out the silver knife from his shoulder.
“Gabriel, I’ll take Nick straight to the hospital. You go and check on Amelie. Where is she? The attack on her was brutal,” Casaio said before disappearing.
Gabriel moved to the same location where he had left Amelie with Zilia.
“Is Ophelia dead?” Zilia asked.
“Where’s Amelie?” Gabriel questioned in worry.
“I sent her to the hospital. We have our warriors ready, who immediately took her to the hospital. Even Mona has depleted her energy. Karmen and Carlos have already taken her to the hospital,” Zilia explained.
“Which hospital?” Gabriel asked.
As soon as Zilia named it, Gabriel teleported with her straight there. They appeared on the lobby where already many people could be seen. Seeing the Alpha Prince with a sword in his hand, they were worried. But Gabriel could worry less about all those gazes. He was worried for Amelie. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The attack was too strong and he feared Amelie was hurt in the worst possible way.
“Gabriel, get your wounds treated. Amelie will wake up soon,” Casaio urged as he stepped into the room. He found Gabriel sitting pale by Amelie’s bedside chair.
Gabriel didn’t look up, his eyes fixed on his mate’s pale features. “Is Nick fine?” he asked.
“Yes. The doctors managed to remove the toxin from his system. He’s resting. The silver she used was infused in a poison deadly to wolves,” Casaio explained, stepping closer to place a grounding hand on his brother’s shoulder. “Mom and Dad are on their way to the hospital now. They’ll be here any minute p>
“What about Mona p>
“The healers said she completely drained her spiritual core while binding Ophelia. It was a massive feat, Gabriel, holding a witch of that caliber was never going to be easy. We all saw the toll it took on all of us,” Casaio asserted. “Thankfully, Mona is stable, but she’ll be sleeping for a few hours or maybe a whole day to recover p>
When Gabriel didn’t speak, Casaio said, “Amelie is fine. You heard the doctor, didn’t you? What if she sees you in such bloodied clothes? Listen to me and get your wounds dressed in the room adjacent to this one. I’ll be with Amelie until your return p>
“You don’t understand, Cas,” Gabriel said, lifting his gaze to meet his brother’s. “Amelie took such a strong hit. What if something has happened? I should not have involved her in the first place,” he murmured.
“Hey, it’s over now. Why are you thinking negative?” Casaio asked him.
Gabriel shook his head, not able to give any answer why he even said that. He was just pissed at himself.
Casaio then pulled him up and firmly held his shoulders. “The doctor is waiting for your outside. It’s just five minutes of work. Go before I’ve to drag you out. I don’t want Amelie to see you in this state,” he asserted.
Gabriel finally listened to him and walked out of the room reluctantly.
Casaio ran his fingers through his hair and looked at Amelie. “Wake up soon because Gabriel needs you,” he murmured.
Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, the doctor gasped in shock seeing Gabriel’s entire back was scraped.
“Your Highness, how were you even–” he couldn’t finish as Gabriel asked him to finish the dressing soon. The doctor nodded and quickly cleaned the back first with the clean cotton swab. Gabriel clenched his fists hard, but didn’t hiss in pain.
Carlos and Karmen walked into the room to check on Gabriel. Both of them were shocked seeing his entire back was wounded.
“I heard about Mona. I’m sorry. I p>
“Gabriel, I should be the one apologizing to you,” Carlos interrupted him. “My magic couldn’t hold Ophelia for long. All you did was taking the situation in control. You didn’t let Ophelia run away and ended her. That’s what matters p>
“Carlos is right,” Karmen agreed with him. “Everything happened within minutes. But thankfully, Gabriel managed to drive that sword into Ophelia’s heart. And as expected, it worked. Ophelia is no longer present p>
“And the marks of curses have disappeared too,” Carlos said with a smile.
“How do you know?” asked Gabriel.
“Well, I sense the energy,” Carlos answered. “But we will verify it soon just to give you and Amelie an assurance p>
The doctor was able to dress the wounds on Gabriel’s back soon. The bandages were applied to bigger wounds before he removed his gloves.
“The new pair of clothes for you,” Karmen stated, handing a bag to Gabriel. “Change into them before Amelie wakes up p>
Gabriel hummed and asked them to wait outside.
