Chapter 136: Have done many evil deedsAmelie quickly opened the message inbox and read the entire message. A strange feeling occupied her mind. Not because she felt anything toward Alex after the betrayal and brutal rejection she received from him. However, what bothered her was whether Gabriel did it. Her grip on the phone tightened, and she remained still on the bed, unable to understand how to process this news. "What happened? Why do you suddenly look so pale?" Gabriel queried. He was dressed in a nice shirt and jeans. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Alex... I got a message from my sister that he’s dead," Amelie said. "He was poisoned," she murmured. "I told you I would not let a threat linger around you," Gabriel said, moving to the dressing table. "Are you sad? Or are you angry that I did it?" he asked, fixing his hair. "I’m not sad," Amelie replied. "I thought I would never get justice because he was an alpha. But what worries me is what others will think of you," she muttered, lowering her eyes. Gabriel stopped midway through combing. Setting the brush on the table, he quickly approached Amelie and got on his knees in front of her. "Does that matter to me?" He held both her hands. "No. Alex was supposed to die the day he thought of killing you, along with Noa. Whoever hurts my woman will have to bear similar consequences. We don’t need alphas like Alex in our kingdom," he affirmed. "What about the decision that the Alpha King was supposed to make?" Amelie asked with a worried gaze. "My dad would have delayed his decision for more time. He doesn’t want to anger the alphas of the pack, while I don’t care about the feelings of such alphas. What I wanted to give was a lesson to everyone—that they shouldn’t treat taken mates like Alex did. And I have done many evil deeds before too. I think this was one good deed," Gabriel said proudly, not feeling upset over what he had done and would do in the future. Amelie smiled at him. "But I don’t want you to make enemies," she asserted. "Not everyone can be your friend and not everyone can admire you," Gabriel stated. "That’s true," Amelie replied. "Shall we go then?" Gabriel fixed her dress at the collar. "Do you want to change too?" "No, I’m fine in this," Amelie replied. Gabriel hummed and held her hand before pulling her up. He carried his own phone, and the two walked out of their room. ~~~~ "Gabriel did what?" Raidan asked again to confirm with Lester. "I told him to let me handle this matter," he muttered, frowning. "He did it for Amelie," Mabel said, eating the fresh cherries. "For her, he can go to any lengths and can even defy the Alpha King," she added. "Though Alex deserved to be dead, I wanted it to be done in a more appropriate way," Raidan said, his grip on the bolster tightening. "Your own son refuses to listen to you. What kind of example does that set for the people?" Mabel said sharply, setting the glass bowl back on the table with a soft clink. "I warned you against granting him so much authority. He’s been acting on his own for years now." Raidan’s jaw tensed as he turned to Lester. "What’s the situation with Jodie? Is she still alive?" "Yes, Your Majesty," Lester responded respectfully. "Miss Jodie remains in prison." Mabel folded her hands. "Jodie’s father is one of the most influential businessmen in the kingdom. If anything happens to his daughter, we risk stirring unrest among the noble alphas. With the Blood Dominion already looming as a threat, ready to strike at us any moment, we cannot afford internal instability. I strongly suggest we find a way to release her before this becomes another spark in an already existing fire." Raidan picked up his phone and called Gabriel. Several rings passed before the call was finally answered. "I want you to tell Karmen to release Jodie," Raidan instructed firmly. "Dad, she’ll be released after receiving her punishment," Gabriel responded calmly. "You acted on your own when punishing Alex. Don’t force me to punish you for disobeying me," Raidan snapped, his voice rising. "Dad, let’s talk about this after we return. Jodie won’t be released until then. Take care," Gabriel replied before ending the call. Amelie gazed at Gabriel in disbelief. "Why did you talk in such a tone with your father?" "This is the way I’ve always talked," Gabriel said. "And now they expect me to release a bitch who caused all that trouble for both of us?" he scoffed with a sneer. Amelie stared at him, momentarily stunned. Was this a side of Gabriel she had never truly seen? Or had she simply refused to believe it until now? This was what people whispered about him. The Dark Alpha Prince, who would defy anyone and everyone to get what he wanted. "Say it aloud," Gabriel demanded. "What is it you think of me? That I’m heartless? Cruel?" His eyes darkened. "I do what others don’t even dare to attempt. And this is nothing compared to what Jodie did to you. She should rot in that prison for a while... if she wants to live," he muttered through gritted teeth before looking out of the window of the car. "I don’t think you are heartless or cruel," Amelie admitted in her soft voice. "You do justice in ways others don’t expect you to. In a world where alphas are worshipped as supreme power, you don’t care for the status. You don’t fear what people think of you. They call you the Dark Prince, but you don’t bother about it. You do the work for the people in ways others cannot," she asserted with a tone of admiration. Gabriel turned his head to look at her. "That’s why I like you. You understand me even when I find it difficult to explain myself, unlike the others who blame me for everything I do," he affirmed with a smile.
