Chapter 91
“Let go of my feet,” Gabriel commanded firmly.
Eric immediately withdrew his hands and remained on his knees. “Please, don’t hurt my sister,” he pleaded.
Gabriel’s gaze remained cold. “That depends on you,” he said. “As long as you don’t betray me, answer my questions truthfully, and follow my instructions, no harm will come to her p>
Eric quickly nodded. “I planned to leave for the Blood Dominion Pack,” he confessed. “I thought they would accept me. Here, everything’s already destroyed, and Prince Gabriel would never allow me to form my own rogue group. But in the Blood Dominion, I heard it’s easier to rise… to gather your own people. That’s why I’ve been trying to leave p>
“What information did you give them?” Karmen demanded sharply, stepping closer.
“None! I swear on my life,” Eric answered almost too quickly, desperation lacing his voice.
Karmen narrowed her eyes. “Then who have you been communicating with all this time p>
“Linda Forrest,” Eric admitted reluctantly. “I met her at a pub in Aldoria about a month ago. She approached me first… we talked, and soon after, we started a relationship — but we kept it hidden from everyone. Linda’s the one who suggested I move in with her, along with my sister. That’s what I’ve been working toward p>
Karmen gazed at Gabriel, who furrowed his brows together.
“In which pub did you two meet?” Karmen questioned.
“It was quite famous in Aldoria, but I don’t remember its name,” Eric replied.
“Do you really trust Linda’s words?” Gabriel asked.
“Yes. She’s the only one who didn’t let my hand go when everyone else did,” Eric answered.
“Well, then find out who’s their Alpha. If you tell me true information regarding that, I will let you go, Eric,” Gabriel offered.
“I asked her once about it. She said they were not allowed to take the name of their Alpha. Then, I didn’t insist,” Eric stated.
“Try harder this time. Your freedom is based on the useful information you bring to me,” Gabriel stated. “Remember, not to fool me, Eric p>
Eric nodded his head, assuring him he wouldn’t dare to do it.
“But you approached a witch. Who was it? Why did a witch agree to help you to harm me?” Gabriel knew witches hated him because he once challenged their respected witch, the High Priestess.
“I didn’t tell the witch your name. I only said I wanted to weaken a person who is a strong Alpha,” Eric muttered, fidgeting with his fingers, thinking Gabriel might hit him.
“I asked for the name too,” Gabriel said sternly.
“Thalissa Frost,” Eric answered.
“Hmm. You have a week’s time to give me the desired information. Remember that I’ve got my eyes on you,” Gabriel said and walked away. Karmen followed the Alpha Prince while Eric left in complete fear.
Inside the car, Karmen talked to someone to find out about Linda Forrest and Thalissa Frost. Hanging up the call, he turned to look at Gabriel, who was typing on his phone.
“The Blood Dominion has infiltrated our lands. We need to do something quick,” Karmen suggested.
“Hmm. They are targeting those who are somehow connected to us, the royal princes,” Gabriel muttered.
“That’s what’s terrifying. What if they are already planning an attack on us?” Karmen worriedly raised a question.
Gabriel turned quiet, as at that moment, a lot of questions suddenly came swirling in his head. He needed to stay calm though. He decided to talk with his brothers regarding this to plan further.
Karmen, on the other hand, didn’t press the Alpha Prince and looked straight at the road ahead. The driver accelerated the speed as they were on the isolated highway.
“I dated Prince Gabriel for three months. It was a casual relationship, Amelie. Though we had a passionate relationship, Prince Gabriel and I decided to part ways as he didn’t feel I was the right one for him,” Jodie said with a smile while recalling those memories from the past.
“I didn’t know this,” Katelyn said. “Why did you never tell me about this p>
“Well, Prince Gabriel wanted it to be a secret,” Jodie replied.
“You dated the wrong man, then. Didn’t you know my brother was never serious about his casual relationships?” Katelyn chuckled.
“I knew. I thought I could be the one for him. I did like him back then,” Jodie said, holding the stem of the wine glass.
Amelie remained quiet as she didn’t know what she could even say in such a situation.
“Are you dating someone now?” Katelyn asked. The waiter had come to clean the table.
Once he walked away, Jodie replied, “No. Currently, I am focusing on a clothing brand I started a year ago. What about you? Did you find your mate p>
While Jodie was a beta she-wolf, Katelyn was an Alpha.
“Not yet. But I do have someone I like,” Katelyn said with a smile.
“Who?” Both Amelie and Jodie showed their interest.
“I think I will keep it to myself unless I confirm the same kind of attraction from the person I like,” Katelyn replied.
“Come on, Kate! Just tell us. We will only cheer for you,” Jodie said with a bright smile, encouraging her to say the name.
“Karmen,” Katelyn replied.
“Gabriel’s beta?” Amelie asked with wide eyes.
“Yes. Please don’t tell my brother. I have not told anyone. You two are the only ones with whom I shared this,” Katelyn said, keeping her voice low.
“Karmen is a sensible guy. So, did you try to communicate with him?” Jodie asked.
“No,” Katelyn refused and sighed. “I didn’t even get a chance for it. I want him to be alone to be able to talk to him. I think I’ve to wait a little longer,” she asserted.
“You better do it earlier rather than waiting for later. Sometimes, we regret losing the person we like,” Jodie opined and gazed at Amelie. “Learn from Amelie. She decided to make a move on Prince Gabriel. Now, she’s even marrying the Alpha Prince p>
