"Why do you want to keep with you when I'm not even your mate?" Alie asked. "I an... I understand that I was the one who held onto you. But you're the Alpha Prince. You can have a woman of your status by your side."
Gabriel leaned back slightly, a smirk playing on his lips. "And what exactly is my status?" he mused.
Alie scoffed. "You're insanely rich," she pointed out. "anwhile, I have nothing. I have to take care of a lot of things, and..."
She stopped abruptly. She couldn't bring herself to say it—to reveal that she was pregnant.
"You can do everything from hrre," Gabriel replied. He didn't answer her important question why he wanted her to be by his side when she wasn't his mate.
Alie gaped at him upon hearing his nonchalant response.
"I don't have a wolf. Why would the Alpha Prince want a worthless wolf like to be by his side?" she questioned.
"Hmm. Sothing about you attracts toward you. I need to know what it is. I hope that's enough to answer your question. I don't care whether you have a wolf or not. It's not like I've to send you to a battle," Gabriel mused, lowering down himself so that his face would be at her level.
Alie pursed her lips together as her fists curled. "Your e-eyes..." she stuttered and paused.
"What about them?" Gabriel asked.
"They are pretty," Alie replied.
"It's not a new complint for , but I like it," Gabriel said with a smirk. "Let's have lunch together," he pronounced.
As Gabriel turned around to walk out, he heard Alie say,
"Thank you, Gabriel. I'll be forever grateful to you for helping run out of that place."
Gabriel felt a weight in her words, which he was unable to decipher. What intrigued him about her was that even after knowing he was the Alpha Prince, she didn't wish to clung to him. She wished to survive on her own. So far, the casual hooks he had would only result in the attraction from the other party, not him.
However, with Alie, his wolf and he had a completely different response. He finally walked out of the room and took out the phone from his pocket. Dialing the number to his beta, he said, "I want you to bring every detail regarding Alie as well. Don't miss out on anything."

In the evening, Karn arrived with all the information that Gabriel needed. As he entered the room, he saw Gabriel resting on the chaise, his right knee was in the air.
"Karn, start speaking," Gabriel said.
He nodded and opened the tablet in his hands. "Miss Alie is the eldest daughter of the Conley Family. She's the only one in such a strong alpha lineage with no wolf. Also, she should have been an Alpha, but she turned out to be an oga. Many say that she's cursed by the Moon Goddess to carry such a fate. The information I've gathered also said that she's been bullied and abused in the pack for a long ti. Her family didn't regard her as equal as their second daughter."
Gabriel's violet eyes darkened in color to hear that. A deep frown appeared on his forehead as well.
"What about the one, who rejected Alie?" Gabriel asked.
"It's unknown," Karn replied. "However, there's sothing more important you should know. Alie is pregnant," he revealed. "You should send her away since she is not your responsibility. She accused the Alpha of her pack for making her pregnant. Last night, they were searching for her."
"What's her pack called? And who's the Alpha of that pack?" Gabriel questioned, ignoring everything that Karn had just revealed to him.
"Red River Pack. Alex Morgan is the Alpha. He beca the Alpha in the morning and declared his Luna as well. It's Alie's younger sister, Flora Conley," Karn asserted.
"Send a summon to Alex Morgan," Gabriel said.
"Huh? Why?" Karn looked confused. "Wait! Did you believe sothing that Alie told you? She might be wanting to stay with you because you are the Alpha Prince. She even hid things from you, Gabriel. You should ask Alie to leave, especially when she's carrying so wolf's pup," Karn stated.
"Do what you are told, my beta," Gabriel pronounced, turning his head to look at him. His eyes shone, depicting he didn't like what Karn told him.
"Yes, I will. But I want to know why you are adamant of having her. You cannot let a woman with you, who is already abandoned by her own pack, who accused the Alpha of her pack. If the word reaches the King's ears, you might get reprimanded. The Red River Pack is the one, which also helped your father in a battle that happened ten years ago." Karn didn't want Gabriel to fall into any problem, where his father would limit more of his rights.
"Alie didn't say a word to . However, I trust her. I knew she was pregnant. Do you think I failed to catch that?" Gabriel arched his eyebrow.
Karn was shocked to learn that. "Still, you decided to—"
"Yes. My wolf responds to her. I have not caught a mate's scent from her yet, but I feel strange about her." Gabriel tucked his hands inside the pockets of his trousers. "I think she's the one for and I want to pursue her, Karn."
He simply stared at Gabriel in disbelief before chuckling and nodding. "Alright. Then, do what you want. But you need to do sothing about her pregnancy too."
"I'll take care of her. She and her unborn baby are under my protection now. I want you to ask Skye Moore to co in the morning," Gabriel stated.
Karn realized that the Alpha Prince wanted Alie. Sohow, his attraction toward her was strong. He didn't oppose it anymore. He had been looking for his mate for twelve long years. It might be possible that Alie was the one.
Just then, they heard a knock on the door.
"Can I co in, Gabriel?" Alie asked.
Karn opened the door and told Gabriel he would leave.
"I didn't know your beta was here," Alie said, stepping inside. "I—I am sorry for stepping in without waiting for your response."
"Do you have to tell sothing, Alie, that I don't know?" Gabriel's piercing gaze locked with hers, waiting for the truth to co out of her mouth.
