Gabriel’s sleep broke abruptly after he heard the phone’s buzzing sound. He sat up and checked his phone. "I’ll be back soon," he whispered to Amelie, who was curled inside the duvet like a baby.
Gabriel walked out of the room and went downstairs while dialing a number.
"Prince Gabriel should come here. Amelie’s parents are ambushed," a voice informed him through the other side.
"Where are you, Shaw?" Gabriel questioned. "Send me the location. I’ll be there," he asserted and hang up the call.
"You seem to work even late nights these days," Casaio’s voice reached his ears as he appeared from the shadows, holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand. His eyes were slightly red, showing how much he had drink.
"I don’t have time to talk to you. I have to leave immediately," Gabriel pronounced.
"Where?" Casaio asked in a casual tone, bringing the alcohol bottle to his mouth. He drank directly from it while his gaze remained fixed on his younger brother.
"Red River Pack," Gabriel replied. He looked at his phone and checked the location that had been sent to him.
"Let’s go then," Casaio said, approaching him. He placed the bottle on the table beside the couch.
"You aren’t coming with me," Gabriel clearly stated.
"But I can be of good help tonight," Casaio remarked. He wanted to take out his anger somewhere. He had been hiding the anguish inside him for a while.
"I’m teleporting there," Gabriel stated.
Teleportation power was bestowed upon the royal family. But it came with a limitation. Whoever would use it might feel drained for at least two days.
"Nice," Casaio said and hung his arm around Gabriel’s.
A violet energy appeared around them, and within seconds they disappeared.
The rain pattered right above their heads as they heard the growls of the wolves at a distance. "Seems like a lot happened here. I can smell the blood too," Casaio stated. The rain had brought him out of the state of the intoxication.
"Alex went too far than I had though," Gabriel sneered as he ran his fingers through his hair. Then, with a blink of an eye, he again teleported to the same place from where the wolves voice were coming.

David was covered in blood and lost his consciousness. The last he recalled about his once a beautiful family, and a tear escaped his eye as he realized it was over.
The warrior wolf who was ordered to rip into shards moved forward when a gunshot rang in the air.
The same wolf fell to the ground as blood oozed out when the silver bullet hit one of his legs. The wolves turned to check and saw Gabriel standing with a gun in his hand, aiming at them.
Then, without warning, he began shooting down one wolf after the other. None of the wolves dared to attack him because they knew fighting against the Alpha Prince meant an instant death. Some of them were ready to surrender while the others decided to flee.
Casaio, on the other hand, checked on David. He put his fingers on his neck and felt how weak the pulse was. "Gabriel, we need to hurry. David may die because of the loss of blood."
The remaining warrior wolves had surrendered.
Gabriel lowered the gun in his hand and Shaw took it from him.
The rain intensity had lessened. Gabriel walked to David and examined him.
"I’ll carry him, Your Highness," Shaw interjected, already moving. He gently lifted David onto his back, careful not to aggravate his injuries.
"I’m going with them," Casaio said firmly. Without waiting for permission, he placed a hand on Shaw’s shoulder, and in a flash of light, all three vanished, teleported straight to the hospital in San Ravendale.
Gabriel scanned his eyes around, but he couldn’t find Samyra. He looked at one of the wolves, asking him to return to his human form. When he did, Gabriel grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.
"Where’s the lady?" Gabriel demanded the answer.
"I—I don’t know," the man stammered, trembling under Gabriel’s piercing gaze. "She was in the car..."
Before Gabriel could respond, another voice rang out from behind them. A man stumbled forward, clutching his bleeding arm. "They’ve crossed the border!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with pain and urgency. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight of the slain wolves sprawled across the ground, and then shifted to Gabriel.
Instantly, his throat went dry.
Gabriel’s gaze turned stern and he thought, ’Amelie’s mother will reach San Ravendale then.’
"Take me to Alex," he ordered the man he had previously interrogated.
"Y-yes, Your Highness!" the man replied hastily, bowing his head in fear and obedience.
Though the recent teleportation had drained some of Gabriel’s energy, the fire in his eyes remained. Even weakened, he knew, he was more than capable of dealing with Alex.

Alex’s sleep was shattered by the sudden, forceful banging on the door. He jolted upright, his heart skipping a beat. "Who is it?" he muttered groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as a yawn escaped his lips.
He was ready to yell on the servant to wake him up at this hour.
As he swung the door open, Alex snapped, "What the hell is wro—"
His words died in his throat as Gabriel’s hand shot forward, clamping around his neck with brutal force. In a flash, Alex was yanked out of the room and hurled down the staircase.
"Ahhh!" Vinette screamed as her son crashed through the glass coffee table in the living room. She sat frozen in horror, bound and held hostage beside her husband, Ethan.
Dazed, Alex groaned, a dull ache pulsing in his skull as he squeezed his eyes shut against the pain.
Gabriel descended the stairs, running his fingers through his hair as his gaze bore into Alex.
"I warned you, Alex," he said coldly. "But it seems you didn’t take me seriously. Tonight, no one is going to save you from me."
