"Noa, Gabriel thinks that his mother is acting suspicious. Is this true? I can’t even argue anymore about it. It’s true that Gabriel knows his mother in a much better way," Alie murmured.
She heard the doorknob being opened and lifted her head. Gabriel walked in with a weary expression on his face.
"What happened? Did you inform your father about Luke’s origin? What did he say?" She asked inquisitively.
"I did. The problem is Casaio is stuck. He got a call from Luke earlier from Estelle’s phone," Gabriel began and narrated the entire incident to her.
"Who will harm here? I thought we were safest in the palace. And so far, we didn’t find anyone who can betray us here. If it would be happening, it had happened before too," Alie stated.
"However, His Majesty is also right. Your recovery is on line. You fainted last night because you didn’t take a good rest," Alie said. "I won’t stop you though from helping your brother. The decision lies in your hands. Idris is just a boy. I do think Luke doesn’t have any plan to keep anyone alive."
Gabriel held her hands as he moved closer to her on the bed. "I think it will be tough for Casaio to fight alone. I don’t doubt his abilities, but in such vulnerable monts we are bound to feel low."
"Then, go ahead, Gabriel." Alie brought her hand over his. "I’m with you. And don’t worry about . I’ll be careful. Karn... He can be around if you want," she stated.
"I’ve already called Karn," Gabriel said. "But I do feel that Luke was bluffing to scare Casaio. He has a deep resentnt toward us."
"Hmm. But how he turned out to be an alpha. An oga can’t be this strong when it cos to strength," Alie remarked.
"That can be found out after going there and eting him," said Gabriel while knitting his brows together.
"Brother Casaio helped you in rescuing my family. We should also help him. Zilia and Idris are important to him. He doesn’t say it aloud, but his eyes refuses to lie. Go and finish this. But at the sa ti, make sure you don’t get injured," Alie told him. "You know that even I’ve premonition through dreams that you’ll be injured. I-I don’t want anything to happen to you."
"Don’t take that dream in another way," Gabriel whispered, his hand moving to her cheek. "I need to go now." He sensed Karn had already co and was outside the room.
"Yes. Don’t worry about ," Alie said and saw him getting up. She, too, got down from the bed and heard a knock on the door.
"Karn is here," Gabriel said and went to the door. Alie moved toward the sofa and saw Karn coming inside.
"I’ll keep a close watch on everything. Though I know your mother’s spies are working more rigorously, you need not to worry for Alie’s safety," Karn assured Gabriel.
"I know." Then looking at his watch, he found only two hours left to execute the plan. He turned to Alie and hugged her. "I’ll be back without a single scratch." He gently caressed her bump and kissed on the middle of her forehead before walking out of the room.

"Nick, where are you?" Casaio asked, holding the phone to his ear. His eyes drifted toward Idris, who was crouched down, tying the laces of his shoes.
"I’m with June. What’s going on?" Dominick asked as he sat up, glancing at Juniper’s peaceful, sleeping face beside him.
"I need you. Co to the palace now. Just teleport. I don’t have much ti," Casaio said abruptly before ending the call.
Dominick was quick to act. He threw off the covers and began dressing in haste. Juniper stirred awake, rubbing her eyes.
"What happened? Are you leaving?" she murmured sleepily.
"Sothing’s co up at the palace. I need to go right away," Dominick replied while swiftly buttoning his shirt and tucking it into his trousers.
"I’ll see you this evening," he added, slipping on his shoes.
"Hmm... just text or call if anything happens," Juniper said, her voice still drowsy.
"I will," he assured her, bending down to kiss her forehead. In the next instant, he vanished from the room.
Upon arriving in the palace’s main hall, Dominick looked up to see Gabriel ascending the stairs.
"What’s going on?" Dominick called out. "Casaio told to co imdiately, he sounded urgent."
"Well, we need to go to the Blood Dominion Pack," Gabriel told him. "Luke abducted Estelle and took her there. For her life, Casaio must hand over Zilia and Idris to him. He must have found out what we were upto that he made such a sudden plan," he affird while gritting his teeth.
"Lester, where’s our brother?" Gabriel asked, turning to the butler.
"In the palace grounds. Both your parents are also there," Lester inford them.
"Let’s go," Gabriel said.
As they reached the palace grounds, they found out their most capable warriors were standing there. Their father was instructing each of them. From the other side, a vehicle entered and stopped at a certain distance.
Zilia exited the backseat of the vehicle and walked to them. Greeting the King and Queen, she glanced at Casaio.
"You are supposed to sacrifice your life today," Mabel said. "That’s the least you should do for betraying all of us."
"Mom, please stop," Casaio intervened and gazed at Idris, who looked terrified.
"You should stay quiet here," Mabel said sternly. "If you choose her over and your father, you’ll forget that you’ve us."
"Mabel, it’s not the ti to say this. He has a plan in his head," Raidan told his wife, wanting her to stay calm.
"Then, should I watch my eldest son die there? Why did you allow him to take Dominick with him? What’s even the need for this? When Luke asked for Zilia and her brother, then just hand over them. Why do we have to resort to a bloodshed?" Mabel questioned in anger.
