"What are you three doing here?" Casaio asked, his eyes widening in surprise as he spotted Katelyn and Dominick in the hospital corridor. He had sensed their presence earlier and followed the trail to confirm his instincts.
Dominick raised a brow. "The real question is what are you doing here?"
Casaio exhaled sharply and gave a quick rundown of everything that had transpired in the Red River Pack.
"We’re here because of Alie," Katelyn explained with concern lacing her voice. "She suddenly started experiencing sharp pain in her lower abdon."
Casaio’s expression imdiately shifted, the casual surprise replaced by worry. "Is it serious?"
"We’re not sure yet," Katelyn replied, glancing toward the double doors of the operating room.
The three of them turned their attention to the hallway ahead, where Gabriel stood silently by the door.
Casaio walked to his youngest brother and stood next to him.
"How’s Alie’s father?" Gabriel inquired.
"The doctors are still operating on him," Casaio replied. "But the blood loss is huge. So, be prepared to hear the bad news too," he asserted. He turned his head to look at Gabriel, particularly his facial expressions.
"Alie will be fine. It’s common to get pain sotis during the pregnancy," Casaio said.
"No, it’s not common," Gabriel replied. ’Did it happen because I tried killing Alex? Is he connected to Alie’s pup? No, the bond has been severed long ago. There’s no way he has anything to do with Noa. Besides, he tried to harm them again. Then, why...’
A nurse rushed in that direction with reports in her hands and asked them to give her so space. The two brothers moved away from the door and she walked in.
Skye took the reports from her and skimd through it. Strangely, the report was all fine. She even had the ultrasound done. No such complication she found. ’Then, why Alie suddenly underwent the pain?’ she thought.
However, she had another possibility in her mind too.
"Please call Gabriel Sinclair inside," Skye told one of the three nurses.
Within seconds, Gabriel was inside while the nurses were asked to leave.
Gabriel was instant to go close to Alie. "Can I touch her?" he asked.
"Yes, you can," Skye replied and closed the reports in her hand.
Gabriel moved his hand on Alie’s lower belly and closed his eyes. He could feel the energy of the growing pup inside her womb. He could feel that it was safe and responding with the sa energy as before.
"Does the pup respond to you?" Skye asked. "You told that Alie’s pup connected with you when you first encountered her," she added.
"Yes. Was the pain related to that?" Gabriel withdrew his hand and looked at Skye.
"Where were you tonight? Alie was brought to the hospital by your siblings," Skye said.
"I had so work to finish," Gabriel replied, avoiding going into the details.
"Were you killing soone?" Skye asked. Gabriel’s brows furrowed together, making him wonder how she found out about it.
"So, you were," Skye said. "I have read about this a long ti ago in a book of healers. However, such events were rarely witnessed to any of us until today."
"And what’s that?" Gabriel inquired.
"When a mate bond is severed and the female is carrying the pup of her rejected mate ends up finding another mate, the pup may form an instant connection with the second mate. In Alie’s case that happened. The pup chose you as their father. If you get into any violent activity, it can lead to the instability in the energy that surrounded this pup. I think that’s the chief reason why Alie got into such a sharp pain. Her reports are normal, even the ultrasound ca fine. So, I can say that it happened because the father was trying to kill soone," Skye said, looking straight into Gabriel’s eyes.
"Alex planned another attack with Jodie on Alie. You think I should have spared him after what he did!?" Gabriel’s anger suddenly flared.
"What?" Skye exclaid in a shock.
"Fuck! I’m going insane. I would have..." Gabriel stopped himself from speaking violent words.
"I think that’s more plausible reason why the pup reacted in such a way. As much as the pup is connected with the mother, they are connected with the father too. So, Gabriel, avoid bloodlust for so ti. The pup doesn’t want his father to lose his temper. I am quite surprised that you are magically connected with the pup and Alie."
A small smile appeared on Skye’s lips as she was happy for Gabriel. He was the man, who wouldn’t think twice before taking soone’s life. And his emotional turmoil in such incidents was usually higher. She was happy that the pup was controlling Gabriel in a way now.
"I’m sorry Noa for being like that," Gabriel whispered, looking at Alie’s lower abdon, his voice consud with a guilt he hadn’t experienced before.
"Is Alie fine?" Gabriel asked.
"Of course, she is!" Skye assured him. "I gave her a sleep-inducing shot. The pain was too harsh for her to bear. So, you can imagine the extent the pup wanted to protect you from experiencing a breakdown," Skye explained.
"Hmm. But I am not sparing Alex this ti," Gabriel stated, "and Jodie too."
"You have other ways too to punish them," Skye opined. "It’s shocking to that Jodie was involved in this." She saw how Gabriel’s jaw tightened.
"Alie will be shifted in the general ward. Then, you can stay by her side," Skye inford him.
"Hmm. Sure," Gabriel said while looking at Alie’s face. He took a step back before walking out of the operating room.
Skye called in the nurses and Alie was taken to the general ward.
Gabriel and his siblings walked in to see Alie.
"It’ll be nice if not more than two stay here," Skye told them. She then excused herself after telling Gabriel that she would co to check Alie in the morning.
