After days without a drop, Alex was finally given water. The moment the cool liquid touched his parched throat, a sudden tightness gripped him.
His hand shot to his neck as a burning sensation spread like wildfire. His pupils dilated in alarm, and a second later, he coughed blood, splattering violently from his mouth.
"P-Please... help," he choked out, collapsing to the floor. His head hit the ground with a dull thud as he coughed more blood.
His vision blurred, and his breath came in shallow, ragged gasps.
Just then, a firm grip yanked his hair, wrenching his head back. Agonizing pain tore through his scalp, forcing his eyes open through sheer instinct.
He found Gabriel before him, whose deadly glare fixed on Alex.
Trembling, Alex brought his hands together in a desperate plea, the tears now spilling freely down his blood-streaked face.
"You should’ve taken the poison when I offered it," Gabriel said. "Men like you sicken me. You laid your hands on a woman who was far too good for you."
His face loomed over Alex like death itself.
"I’m erasing a threat, someone who could harm my mate and my unborn child in the future."
Alex’s lips trembled as his body gave out. There was nothing left in him to fight or flee. His body slumped to the floor while Gabriel stood up before taking a few steps back.
"Send his corpse to the Red River Pack," Gabriel ordered his beta. "Make sure to give it as an example why no one should do something like Alex did to a woman," he added.
"Sure. What about his parents?" Karmen inquired.
"Well, they have to accept the death of their evil son. If only they had stopped him, it wouldn’t have happened. Strip them off the title of the former Alpha and Luna. As punishment, they have to give up on their properties too. They will live a life of servants in the very pack they once ruled," he stated.
Karmen bowed and told him he would report him later in the evening.
"Hmm." Gabriel turned around to leave when Karmen spoke,
"The Alpha King and the Luna Queen may not take kindly to this."
"When did I ever do anything to please them? It would have happened a long time ago, but for Amelie’s sake, I gave a chance to Alex to live," Gabriel stated.
Karmen nodded his head and watched Gabriel leave.
Gabriel reached the door of the bedroom and pushed it gently. Walking in, he found Amelie sleeping peacefully in the bed. It was already afternoon, but because of him, she had to stay awake the entire night.
But it was a night he would never forget. Amelie had become his entirely from body, heart and soul. He had claimed every inch of her body, worshipped every spot on it.
Walking over the bed, he settled on the mattress and leaned to check on Amelie. "Was I too rough on her? Fuck this rut! It had to come at a time when it shouldn’t have," he muttered, feeling angry on himself. His hand threaded in her hair, caressing it gently.

"Gabriel, I thought I would not be hearing from you for a few days," Casaio said from the other side.
