Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 633

Chapter 633: Even from miles away

Gabriel took the piece of evidence from Karmen, staring at his own name written in the margins.

"Maybe some debtor shares the same name as me," Gabriel pointed out, though his voice lacked conviction.

"There is no such debtor who shares the same name as you," Casaio’s voice cut through the air from behind. He held the post-mortem report firmly in his hand as he walked toward his brother, his expression grim.

"Karmen told me that you and Theo had an argument yesterday," Gabriel stated, shifting his gaze to Ian and Estelle, who followed closely behind his elder brother.

"Are you relating his death to our argument?" Casaio asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"No. I am thinking that someone was afraid their secrets might be revealed in today’s scheduled council session," Gabriel narrated, his mind piecing together the timeline. "Theo died under mysterious circumstances. It’s clear someone was there to destroy the evidence, but they couldn’t finish the task as cleanly as they intended."

He looked back at the note in his hand. If Theo was killed to keep him silent, the mention of Gabriel’s name wasn’t a coincidence.

"What do you think, Ian?"

"Me? Your Highness?" Ian pointed a finger at himself, looking slightly startled by the direct question.

"You are the only Ian present here," Gabriel stated. "What do you think of this?"

"It is difficult for me to comment with certainty," Ian began, adjusting his posture as he gathered his thoughts. "But I believe someone murdered Theo because he was a vault of secrets that were never meant to see the light of day. The mention of your name in the notepad doesn’t fit right with me, either. What if it was written later, added as a deliberate distraction? Most of the notepad is destroyed, except for this specific piece. It feels too convenient, as if the killer wanted us to find exactly that and nothing else," Ian explained, laying out the observations he had made so far.

Casaio nodded slowly, looking at the charred edges of the paper. "He’s right. A killer capable of such brutality doesn’t usually leave a paper trail by accident. It was intentional."

Gabriel suddenly felt his chest tightening. His mind quickly drifted to Amelie and Noah. ’Something is wrong with Amelie.’

"I won’t be looking into this matter. I believe my elder brother can solve this mystery himself," Gabriel stated, handing the piece of evidence to him. "Karmen, I will see you later."

And with that, he vanished from their sight.

Amelie, in her wolf form, stooped in the middle of the forest. The words of Alex’s parents kept replaying in her mind like a movie.

’Selene, I don’t want to believe them,’ Amelie projected. ’I feel they are equally punishable for what their son was going to do to me.’

’You are thinking nothing wrong,’ Selene’s voice replied in the back of her head. ’Guilt is a powerful mask, but it does not erase the past.’

’I was worried that they might—’ Amelie’s internal conversation was cut short as the air shifted. A familiar musky scent hit her insides. She turned her head and saw Gabriel standing a few yards away, one hand tucked casually into his trouser pocket, his gaze softened as he looked at her.

’Weren’t you busy with work outside the palace? How did you find me so quickly?’ Amelie’s voice drifted through the mindlink, laced with surprise and relief.
