"I–I..."
Alex choked when Gabriel pulled him up straight with his hair. The prince’s face looked dark and grim, devoid of any expression, except for those violet eyes, which burned with rage.
"I did nothing," Alex finally managed to say.
"Your Highness, I beg you to let go of my son!" Ethan begged. Vinette did the same, crying and pleading with the prince.
Gabriel slapped hard Alex before speaking, "Did you send someone to kill Amelie? Say the truth or your mouth will be ripped apart first!" He threatened Alex this time.
Alex looked at him with a terrified gaze. He knew Gabriel wasn’t joking. Amelie weren’t there either, so no one could stop this crazy bastard from using the violence.
"It was Flora! Not my son!" Vinette screamed.
"Answer me, Alex," Gabriel said. His hand moved toward his mouth.
"Please forgive me. I didn’t want to do that. It was Jodie, who called me. She’s the one who asked me to hire someone to get rid of Amelie," Alex said, his eyes turning moist. Never in his life he ever felt like crying until tonight, right in front of Gabriel, who once again showed him what it felt like to experience death right in front of your eyes.
Gabriel’s fist landed right across Alex’s mouth, hurling him in the air before getting thrashed against the end table of the living room.
"No! Honey, do something," Vinette glanced at her husband.
Their own pack wolves had turned against them, keeping them as captives while surrounding them.
"Prince Gabriel, please listen to me once," Ethan pronounced as Gabriel took steps toward Alex. "Please don’t resort to violence. I–I apologize to you on my son’s behalf. Please let him go for this last time," he pleaded.
Gabriel turned around to look at Ethan. "When a child commits a crime, the parents must not defend such a child. Your son attempted to kill my mate. How do you explain it? I did send Alex back in one piece the last time he did something similar. But he repeated it again. He didn’t even have remorse for attempting to take two lives! Alex will not live anymore. If you two can’t see your son dying right in front of your eyes, then turn your backs," Gabriel pronounced.
Ethan was quick to take out the phone and pressed the King’s personal number while keeping the phone on the speaker.
"Prince Gabriel, you aren’t thinking rationally. I am afraid, but I have to involve the Alpha King in this," Ethan stated.
Gabriel chuckled and ignored it as if he didn’t care. "Call whoever you want. I don’t give a fuck about it, Ethan Morgan," he said and turned around.
Alex was crawling against the floor to escape Gabriel. He was again caught by the throat, this time the grip was too harsh and he could feel Gabriel’s elongated sharp nails, which dug into his skin, ripping it.
"Ahhh!" Alex screamed in pain. His hands shot up to Gabriel’s, attempting to get free of his grip.
On the other hand, the Alpha King didn’t answer the call. Probably because it was the late midnight.
