Gabriel held his ground. "I understand the risks, but I also know how to talk to people. Let me help."

The inspector frowned. "If you think you can just walk in there and solve this, you're mistaken."

"I don’t intend to just walk in," Gabriel said calmly. "But I do think I can help diffuse the situation. We need to approach this with a clear head."

Realizing Gabriel was determined to get involved, the manager, Henry Jenkins, took him aside, handling the situation delicately.

“Master Wellington," he started softly, "I must insist you reconsider. This situation is far too dangerous. We can't risk your safety."

Gabriel shook his head firmly. "Henry, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not leaving. I'm here to help. And please, just call me Gabriel."

Henry sighed and nodded, stuttering, "Alright, master Wellington… sorry, I mean, Gabriel. But be careful."

Gabriel returned to the police, now more resolute.

He leaned in towards the inspector and said quietly, "I have some martial arts train

    There was a moment of silence as the words sank in. Zoe, despite herself, began to see the logic in his argument. The officers around them exchanged glances, their skepticism slowly waning.However, the scene took an unexpected turn. The eyes of the manager, several sergeants, and other officers lingered on Zoe’s ample chest, which seemed more visible through her shirt than it should have been.Their gazes were filled with inappropriate fantasies and imaginations, their movements betraying their lack of professionalism.Gabriel noticed this and leaned closer to Zoe, who instinctively tensed, ready to react to what she thought was an advance. Instead, he whispered, "Be conscious of the wolves around."Zoe followed his gaze and noticed the lingering eyes. A flicker of realization crossed her face. She straightened, fixing her shirt, and glared at the ogling men. The manager, caught in the act, quickly averted his eyes, embarrassed.Gabriel stepped back and gave a subtle nod to the mana

    As the makeshift medic tended to the man, Gabriel continued to keep the robbers engaged in conversation, subtly diffusing their tension with his calm demeanor.Meanwhile, Zoe kept her stance, her hand still on her gun but her mind was now clearer. She admired Gabriel's ability to handle the situation without escalating it. She could see the robbers' initial aggression slowly melting away as Gabriel's wise words took effect.Gabriel's focus on the hostages' well-being created a temporary truce, allowing everyone to breathe a little easier. As the elderly man’s breathing steadied, the robbers seemed less inclined to act violently, giving Gabriel and Zoe a small but crucial window to plan their next move.As one of the robbers whispered something to the head robber, his expression turned severe. He stood up and pointed his gun at Gabriel, his voice filled with disdain. "I don't give a damn about these hostages. Let’s talk about what’s more important."Gabriel remained unperturbed, his

    Zoe’s emotions churned as she waited, her faith in Gabriel wavering amidst the uncertainty.The air inside the bank became thick with tension and frustration. The head robber paced back and forth, his irritation growing with each passing minute. Finally, unable to contain his anger any longer, he marched over to Zoe, grabbed her by the hair, and yanked her to her feet."Where is he?" he snarled, his face inches from hers. "Why has your partner taken over an hour to come back?"Zoe, her eyes blazing with defiance, glared at him. "I don't know. Maybe he's negotiating for your lives right now. Maybe he's making sure you don't get yourselves killed."The head robber’s face contorted with rage. "Don’t play smart with me." He slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stumble but she quickly regained her footing and he grabbed her by the hair again. Around them, the hostages started to murmur anxiously. Fear and frustration bubbled to the surface as their hopes of rescue seemed to b

"You don't understand what's at stake," Gabriel snapped."And you think you do?" Dan shot back, his voice rising.Suddenly, in a burst of anger, Dan lurched forward, his fist swinging towards Gabriel. The officers gasped in shock as the conflict spiraled out of control, adding another layer of chaos to an already dire situation.Gabriel blocked Dan's initial punch with a swift, practiced movement, his hand meeting Dan’s fist with a resounding smack. Dan's face turned pale as he stumbled back, shocked by the unexpected resistance. Gabriel stood firm, his stance calm and unyielding. Dan, refusing to back down, launched a series of reckless punches. Gabriel dodged each one effortlessly, his movements fluid and precise. Finally, with a quick maneuver, he pinned Dan to the ground, his grip firm but not injurious."Enough!" the inspe

    Inside one of the vehicles, the head robber, now driving, glanced back and barked, "Tie them up properly."The robber sitting beside Gabriel and Zoe obliged, tying Gabriel's hands tightly. When he moved on to Zoe, he took his time, looping the rope around her upper body in an effort to grope her. He ogled her ample chest, leaning closer to peer down her shirt. Zoe, seething with rage, gave him a hard headbutt, sending him sprawling back against the seat.Gabriel snarled at the groper but was helpless, his hands bound. The robber attempted to retaliate, raising his hand to strike Zoe, but the head robber roared, "Enough! One more stunt like that, and you're dead!"The car jerked to a stop at a dilapidated villa, the robbers' hideout. As they approached the entrance, they were greeted by the sight of two men arguing heatedly. Suddenly, one of them pulled a knife and stabbed the other, who fell lifelessly to the ground. The robbers were momentarily distracted, providing Gabriel, who ha

    Gabriel ducked behind the wall, reloading his new weapon which he had seized again. "Stay close," he instructed Zoe, his voice steady despite the tension.Zoe nodded, her eyes focused and determined. "I’ve got your back," she replied, ready to face whatever came next.As one of the three robbers fell, Gabriel and Zoe took a moment to catch their breath, the realization setting in that the worst was not over yet. They were now in control of the battlefield, but the head robber and the other two robbers still loomed ahead.Zoe’s gun clicked empty. “Damn it,” she groaned. The robber who had been lusting over her saw his chance and aimed for her heart. Gabriel, observing quickly, shielded Zoe and pushed her away, taking the bullet in his arm for her.“Gabriel!” Zoe screamed, grabbing his gun as she pulled him back to the wall they hid behind earlier. Blood was seeping from his arm, and Zoe ripped a piece of her shirt to tie around the wound, applying pressure to stem the bleeding.“You

    As she pulled him to the surface, Zoe’s mind raced with a single thought: saving Gabriel. She couldn’t lose him, not after everything they’d been through. The weight of the situation pressed down on her, but her determination was unwavering.Breaking through the surface, she gasped for air, her grip on Gabriel tight. With all her strength, she swam to the edge of the pool, dragging him out of the water and laying him on the ground. The sight of his pale face and the blood seeping from his chest filled her with dread, but she refused to give in to despair.“Stay with me, Gabriel,” she whispered fiercely, beginning CPR. “You can’t leave me now.”As she worked to revive him, the world around her faded into a blur. Her entire focus was on Gabriel, willing him to breathe, to fight, to survive.Zoe bent forward, her hands trembling as she covered Gabriel’s mouth with hers, trying to get him to breathe while performing CPR. She interlaced her fingers and pressed down on his chest rhythmica

    The inspector appeared, his face a mask of concern. “What’s the current state of things?” he asked, looking between Dan and Zoe.Dan explained what the doctor had said about Gabriel. “The doctor said he's stable now, but he's still unconscious.”The manager, not appeased, pointed at Zoe. “You didn’t do your job well. You ought to have protected him.”The inspector apologized for the situation and walked out with the manager, trying to calm him down. “We did everything we could under the circumstances, Mr. Harris. Gabriel's actions were his own choice.”Zoe sat down on an available bench, sighing deeply, her shoulders slumping with exhaustion.Again, Dan persisted, “Zoe, you need to change. You don't look appropriate in this wet uniform.”She shook her head, her tone final. “I don't care. I'm not leaving until he's awake.”Dan sighed, seeing there was no way he could persuade her. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. “I will stay with you…”But the inspector’s voic

    The day of Camella’s delivery was a difficult one. The air was thick with tension, and Gabriel paced the hospital corridor, his face lined with worry. His heart pounded each time he heard footsteps approach, hoping for news. Dan stood beside him, trying his best to calm him down."She's strong, Gabriel. She'll get through this," Dan said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Zoe nodded in support. "Remember how well she did with Jessie? She can do it again."Gabriel nodded but his eyes were distant, full of concern. "I know, but this is different. The doctors said there were complications. It wasn’t like this with Jessie."Dan sighed. "Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but she’s in good hands. You have to trust that."Time dragged on, each minute feeling like an hour. Then, finally, the door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor emerged. His expression was serious, almost grave, and Gabriel's heart sank."Doctor, is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Gabriel asked, his voice almost bre

    Gabriel's return was like a sudden burst of light piercing through the darkness that had settled in the room where his body was laid before he left, making his way downstairs. His family had been sitting in silence in the living room, weighed down by a sense of gloom, each lost in their thoughts when his voice echoed softly from the doorway."I'm back," Gabriel said, his tone gentle but firm, as though those two words were enough to bring peace to the chaos that had lingered. Everyone's heads snapped up, eyes widening in disbelief. Camella was the first to react, tears spilling down her cheeks as she rushed toward him. "Gabriel! You're...you're here!" she choked out, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Yes, I'm here," he whispered, holding her close. "I’m back, and everything is going to be alright." Soon, the others joined in, surrounding him, their faces a mix of relief, joy, and astonishment. Marie, his mother, was tearful as she cupped his face, studying him as if she couldn

    Gabriel’s eyes remained steady as he faced Thelma. Her expression was tense, eyes flickering with a mix of urgency and despair. She had tried reasoning with him, threatening him, yet he stood firm, his gaze unwavering. “Gabriel, this is the last chance you’d get. Forever,” Thelma's voice trembled, but it was clear she meant every word.Gabriel let out a slow breath. “Let it be so. Please, go save your mother. She doesn’t deserve to die at my expense.”Thelma blinked as if she hadn’t expected such calmness. Her eyes, filled with confusion, fixed on him. “The life is ebbing from you,” she said, stepping closer. “And my mother… for her to be restored, she needs the magical ring you’re putting on.” Gabriel glanced down at the ring, a simple yet powerful artifact, now glinting in the dim light. He looked back up at her, his lips curling into a sad smile. Without a word, he slowly slid the ring off his finger and held it out to her. “You can use it to save her.”Thelma was stunned. “Are y

    In the dimly lit hall of Noctura, Seraphina’s laughter echoed against the stone walls, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic delight. Gabriel stirred, groaning as he slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sight before him—Seraphina, standing there with a mocking grin, her shoulders shaking with laughter.“Why are you laughing?” he asked, his voice hoarse, barely masking his confusion. “Do I look amusing to you, lying here wrecked like this?”“Not really,” Seraphina replied, her lips curling. “Actually, I played a little trick earlier, and it seems to be working. I can hear the cries echoing all around. They’re devastated… those weak humans.”Gabriel frowned, trying to process her words. “What do you mean?”She stepped closer, her dark eyes glinting as she leaned down, speaking in a low, deliberate tone. “I gave you a claim mark,” she said, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. “It’s imprinted right there, on your skin.”Gabriel’s eyes widened as he looked

    Gabriel was thrown back into his dark, cold cell, his body bruised and battered. The guards had shown no mercy, following Queen Seraphina's orders to the letter. They took turns flogging him, their harsh laughter echoing off the stone walls. He had barely any strength left, yet he forced himself to stay conscious, unwilling to give them the satisfaction of seeing him break. After the beatings, they chained him up, suspending his arms so he couldn’t lie down. The heavy chains cut into his wrists, but he bit down hard, swallowing his pain. As if that wasn’t enough, cold water was splashed on him, drenching him, making the chill seep deep into his bones. It was all part of the queen’s relentless torment. Meanwhile, Thelma watched from the shadows, her heart aching. Her mother’s cruelty had gone too far. But she had been powerless to stop it, her powers restricted under strict orders from Seraphina. She clenched her fists, unable to bear seeing Gabriel in this condition any longer. Gath

    Thelma stood there, her gaze fixed on Gabriel, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of determination and longing. Gabriel, shackled and weary, looked up, confused. "Why are you here, Thelma?" he asked, his voice rough from exhaustion.Thelma hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Why? Do I need a reason?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his eyes narrowing. "Answer that. I'm sure your queen won't want you to be here.""Yes, my mother would be furious," Thelma admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But I don't care. I just care about you."Gabriel's expression softened, but he was still cautious. "What?""Yes," she said, her eyes shining. "I care about you and... I want you to marry me."Gabriel's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Marry you?"Thelma took a step closer, her gaze unflinching. "Yes. Marry me. I can help you." He stared at her silently, trying to read her intentions, but she continued, her voice pleading. "I promise you, Gabriel, if you marry me, I can vouch t

    Zoe felt a chill run down her spine, and she struggled to find words. "I... I didn’t know," she said, barely able to process what Tamara was saying.Camella, though lost in her own world of grief, heard Tamara’s last words and turned, her eyes wide with horror. “What are you saying?” she whispered, her lips trembling. “Someone has to die... for him to wake up?”Tamara hesitated, seeing the fear in Camella's eyes. "I wish it wasn't true, but... yes. That’s how it works. It’s a cruel trade," she said softly, her own voice betraying her sadness.Camella felt the room spin for a moment, her heart pounding. She looked at Gabriel, her lips quivering as she whispered, “No... there has to be another way. There has to be.”Zoe moved closer to Tamara, her mind reeling from the revelation. “Is there really no other way?” she asked, almost pleading."I've searched, Zoe," Tamara said, shaking her head. "But the truth is, in his condition, if he wants to return, a life must be taken. It’s not someth

    Gabriel stood there, his breath heavy, the dark silhouette of the creature looming over him. It was unlike anything he had ever seen—a twisted mix of shadows and fangs, with eyes that seemed to glint even in the darkness. His heart pounded as he gripped the hilt of an available sword tighter, the sweat from his palms making it slick. He knew he had to act fast, but the creature’s movements were unpredictable, darting around him, taunting him.“Come on,” he muttered to himself, trying to steady his breathing. “Just one opening… that’s all I need.”The creature lunged, and he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding its sharp claws. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and his muscles ached from the strain of dodging and countering. He swung his sword, managing to nick the creature’s side, but it only hissed, unfazed, and retreated into the shadows. The brief moment of reprieve was shattered when he heard the snorting and stomping behind him. Turning, he saw the massive bull charging toward him

    More machines attacked, but Gabriel was relentless, his mind focused on one thing: survival. He fought with a ferocity he didn’t know he had, each blow more powerful than the last. For every machine that attacked, he countered with swift, brutal precision, his eyes glowing brighter with every strike.As he stood amidst the shattered remains of the machines, his chest heaving, he heard Seraphina’s voice echo through the realm. “Impressive, Gabriel. But this is only the beginning. You will break, and you will serve me… or you will die.”Gabriel looked around, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breath ragged but steady. “I’ll never be yours,” he shouted defiantly, his voice echoing through the dark, empty expanse of Noctura. “I will find a way out of this place, and I will destroy everything you throw at me.”Seraphina's laughter echoed, dark and mocking. “We shall see, Gabriel. We shall see.”As the darkness around him deepened, Gabriel steeled himself, knowing that this was only the b
