Chapter 106: You’ve attracted more protectorsCasaio stepped forward with a resolute expression. "This time, Alex was wrong. Gabriel did give him a chance. I humbly request that his life not be spared, not after what he’s done. The Red River Pack may face turmoil in his absence, but it will eventually find its footing again. However, attempting to kill a she-wolf carrying a pup, there is no redemption for that." Though Gabriel’s interactions with their mother were often sharp and confrontational, Casaio had always spoken with gentleness and reason. He knew how to temper her wrath with calm logic. "I agree, Mother," Dominick said, stepping closer. He rarely involved himself in matters concerning Gabriel, but today was different. He couldn’t stay silent in this matter. "Alex crossed a line. And further investigation revealed that Jodie assisted him in this treachery." "It’s my fault," Katelyn admitted, guilt written all over her face. "I... I just wanted to take Amelie out for lunch with a friend. That friend was Jodie. I never imagined she could be capable of something like this. I shared a lot about Amelie, not knowing my words could put her in danger. Please, Mama, don’t blame Amelie. She was completely unaware of any of this." Both Mabel and Raidan were taken aback. For the first time, their children stood united, not in rivalry or blame, but in defense of someone else. Their usual discord was replaced by a rare harmony. ’This girl...’ Mabel thought, her gaze lingering on Amelie. A small smile crept onto her lips, touched with pride and surprise. "It seems our children have taken quite a liking to Amelie," Raidan whispered to his wife. Just then, Samyra stepped aside as another figure came forward to speak. "Your Majesty," the newcomer began, bowing respectfully, "I am Zander Trevisan, Alex’s beta." He stood beside Gabriel, eyes lowered in deference. "What do you have to say?" Raidan inquired. "Alex acted without honor," Zander confessed. "A beta is bound by loyalty to his alpha, but what Alex did last night crossed every line. As soon as I learned of it, I went to rescue Amelie’s parents. Her father sustained serious injuries, but I was able to save her mother. I acted as swiftly as I could." Mabel raised an eyebrow. "Amelie, it appears you’ve attracted more protectors than I expected," she remarked with a chuckle. "Still, I believe this matter should be handled politically, with measured justice." "The Queen is right," Raidan agreed. Gabriel’s expression hardened. "I don’t agree. Alex’s crime deserves only one punishment and that’s death. If Their Majesties wish to take over this matter, I will allow it only if they support that sentence. Otherwise, I will not stand down." Amelie gently placed her hand on Gabriel’s arm. He turned to her, eyes narrowing slightly. "Let me speak," she said softly. "They haven’t listened to me. What makes you think they’ll listen to you?" he whispered. "Let her speak," Mabel interjected, her gaze fixed on Amelie. Amelie stepped forward and bowed deeply. "Your Majesty," she began, "I had no knowledge of what happened in the Red River Pack last night. I only found out this morning. The first time, when Alex could have been executed, I asked Prince Gabriel to spare him, and he did. But this time, he went too far. He involved my entire family in a calculated attempt to kill them." She paused, steadying her breath.

"There are countless women like me, abandoned by their packs, discarded by their families after being rejected by their mates. If Alex receives the harshest punishment, it will not just serve justice, it will send a message. A message that women like me are not powerless, that such cruelty will not be tolerated. Let his fate be a lesson to all who think they can commit such acts without consequence." "And what about the other questions I asked?" Mabel pressed. Amelie lifted her chin, refusing to shrink under the Queen’s gaze. "I’m not clinging to Prince Gabriel for personal gain," she replied firmly. "I work at his company, and I’ve earned my place there. But... if my presence offends the Queen, I have no problem finding another job. I don’t want charity, and I don’t want conflict either." Gabriel scoffed, clearly at the end of his patience. "Mom, must you stoop this low?" he muttered in frustration, stepping forward to clasp Amelie’s hand tightly. "Let’s go. We don’t need to stand here and take this." "Gabriel, we are just concerned with the fact that how the other packs are going to take this matter. Alex is the Alpha of Red River Pack. What an alpha does his entire pack has to agree to. You didn’t get your mother’s point. However, after learning all of this, I will definitely punish Alex. His father is a great friend of mine. That’s why your mother and I have to think a lot before making a decision. It was wrong to target you and your pup, Amelie." Raidan decisively said. Turning to his wife, he continued, "Mabel, let’s not argue anymore. And now, since we are here we should return to the palace after attending their marriage," Raidan stated, glancing at his wife with a hopeful smile. Mabel’s silence was her reply that she would attend this wedding. Only three days had left but all of the chaos happening around concerned Mabel. ’Will they both truly get married? That pup... It’s not even Gabriel’s,’ she thought. "Take Amelie upstairs. Ask her to rest," Raidan told Gabriel. "Your Majesty, we need to go to the hospital to see my father. He was injured gravely," Amelie informed him. "Hmm. Then, you should go," Raidan said. "Your Majesties, I will show you the guest room to both of you," Albus humbly said. "Sure," Raidan said and stood up from the couch. Mabel followed him, however, before leaving she warned Amelie, "I don’t want anymore troubles." Gabriel’s fists clenched on his sides. Why did his mother had to appear suddenly? Who the fuck informed them everything? Was it Casaio, Dominick or Katelyn? He glared at them, ready for the confrontation, but not now.
