Casaio and Dominick stepped into the VIP wardroom at once. Seeing their family, they first apologized to their parents for not being present at the palace.
"What happened to Gabriel?" Casaio asked promptly.
"He was injected with a syringe carrying some toxins. Gabriel is fine, just not in a conscious state," said Raidan.
Dominick wondered how Gabriel ended up in the hospital when he was supposed to interrogate Jake. He excused himself and went out of the room. Calling Karmen, he waited for him to answer the call.
The moment the call connected, Dominick spoke urgently. "Why did Gabriel go to the hospital? He was found unconscious. Did he say anything to you before heading there?"
"What?" Karmen’s voice rose in surprise. "No. Prince Gabriel had finished interrogating Jake. Jake told him that his mate was admitted to some hospital and begged him to save her. Within seconds, Prince Gabriel disappeared. I assume he went there to help Jake’s mate. Is he injured? It sounds like someone attacked him."
"He’s not physically harmed," Dominick replied grimly. "But someone did inject toxins into his system through a syringe. You don’t need to come here. We’ll talk once Gabriel wakes up." With that, he ended the call.
Returning to the wardroom, Dominick overheard Casaio speaking. "I’ll stay behind and watch over him."
"I’ll stay too," Dominick added.
Raiden nodded, then turned to his wife and Amelie. "Since our sons will be staying here, we should head back."
"Amelie, let’s go home," Mabel urged gently. "If Gabriel wakes up and finds out you stayed behind, he’s going to be furious with us."
Amelie opened her mouth to argue, but stopped herself. She gave a small nod instead. Before leaving, she looked back at Gabriel one last time, her eyes lingering on his unconscious form. Then, without a word, she turned and walked out with her in-laws and Kate.
Casaio and Dominick sat on the chairs.
"I called Karmen. I found out from him that Gabriel came here to save Jake’s mate. Then someone attacked Gabriel," Dominick briefed.
"Anything could’ve happened to him," Casaio murmured and sighed.
"I’m sorry. It was my fault. I involved Gabriel in this matter," Dominick said, feeling guilty.
"Whoever our opponent is very strong and clever. They didn’t use any spy this time, but a layman, who even if would get caught wouldn’t give any crucial information," Casaio opined with a serious expression.
"So, do you’ve any plan in mind? This time Zilia was ordered to kill you. We haven’t told our parents about this. But once they find out, they will eliminate Zilia forever. I also think if Zilia is gone, they won’t have anyone to attack any of us," Dominick asserted.
"I will go to the Blood Dominion Pack with Zilia. That’s my next plan," Casaio affirmed.

Amelie tossed and turned in bed, but sleep continued to evade her. Every few minutes, she glanced at her phone, hoping that a call would come from Casaio or Dominick with news. But no call came.
It wasn’t until the early morning hours that exhaustion finally pulled her under. She slept deeply, waking only around ten o’clock. The late hour made her jolt upright in bed.
Rubbing her eyes, she mumbled, "How could I fall asleep...?" Panic creeping into her voice, she quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Casaio’s number.
