Chapter 42: A past connection

Gabriel’s words always brought Amelie peace of mind. Even now, when he reassured her, she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around him in a warm embrace.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice quivering. The overwhelming surge of emotions, intensified by the hormonal changes in her body, caused tears to spill down her cheeks, even though she hadn’t meant to cry.

Gabriel sighed softly, holding her close as he gently patted her back. He could hear her quiet sobs. After a moment, he pulled away just enough to cup her face, his thumb brushing away her tears with care.

"You don’t need to cry," he murmured, his violet eyes locking onto hers. "This is a happy occasion."

"I know." She lowered her head.

After she had calmed down, Gabriel said, "Let’s sleep then."

They slid under the blanket, and Gabriel switched off the lights. This time, Amelie didn’t turn her back to him. Instead, she lay facing him, her gaze lingering on his in the dim glow of the moonlight, filtering through the curtains.

"I heard you earlier," she whispered.

Gabriel frowned slightly. "Heard what?"

"You said your mother hates you," Amelie murmured. "Is she like mine?" Her voice trembled slightly. "My mother distanced herself from me too. She told me she regretted having me when I failed to awaken my wolf."

Gabriel let out a bitter chuckle, his expression darkening. "My mother is on a whole different level," he muttered. "She’s probably the most toxic woman to ever exist." The words lacked any emotion, except for hatred from his side too.

Amelie hesitated, choosing not to say anything further. Discussing the Luna Queen might stir his anger and ruin his sleep. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Gabriel, sensing her unease, moved closer. His arm wrapped around her, pulling her into his warmth. "Amelie, I have you now," he murmured. "We will become a strong family together. Your pup will be mine too. So, let’s leave the past behind and look toward the future."

Amelie’s eyes widened as she met his piercing violet gaze. "Don’t tell me... You really want to accept my pup too?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

Gabriel’s expression remained firm. "You think I wouldn’t?" He was surprised. "If I’ve claimed you as mine, then that means your pup is mine too."

She swallowed hard as he continued, his words carrying the weight of an oath. "I told you, if, at the gala, you give me the response I want, I will declare you as my mate. But I want you to accept me too, not out of force, but out of your own will. If I wanted, I could have taken everything from the beginning. But forced things never hold meaning to me, Amelie."

"Thank you for giving me the time," Amelie replied. She yawned and closed her eyes. Instinctively, she snuggled to him, drifting off to sleep first before Gabriel.

Ewan had fought relentlessly against his restraints until exhaustion claimed him, forcing his body into unconsciousness. He heard the faint sound of dungeon’s gate opening, but couldn’t open his eyes because of the lack of strength.
