Anna nodded and stepped aside, allowing them to enter. As she closed the door, she turned to them. “Is everything all right?”

Gabriel’s eyes were serious. “I wanted to see the woman.”

Anna started to speak, “Gabriel, I don’t think—” but her words trailed off as she caught sight of Magdalene standing, her face a mask of shock.

Gabriel followed her gaze to Magdalene, and his eyes widened in disbelief. “Mother?”

Zoe turned to look at Magdalene, who was staring at Gabriel, her jaw slack with shock. Magdalene took a shaky step forward, attempting to speak, but then she collapsed, fainting.

Gabriel rushed forward as Anna and Zoe gasped, their eyes wide with concern and confusion.

Gabriel knelt beside Magdalene’s unconscious form, his heart pounding in his chest. His hands trembled as he gently lifted her into his arms.

“Mother, wake up. Please, wake up,” he called out, his voice thick with worry.

Anna hurried over, her own face pale with shock, but before she could reach them, Gabriel turn

    Gabriel’s heart tightened. “But how did you come to the city? And… how did you survive? I thought… I thought you were dead.” He hesitated, his voice breaking. “I didn’t even attend your funeral because I was so angry, so heartbroken. I’m still in shock.”Marie reached out and gently patted his cheek, her touch warm and comforting despite everything. “I understand, my son. But I never died. It was all part of your father’s plan to save me from Russell Walclaw, your grandfather.”Gabriel’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? I don’t understand… why would Father…?”She nodded slowly, her expression pained as she recalled the events. “Yes. Russell had his thugs ambush me and create a staged accident. Your father reached me just in time and saved me. The body at the funeral wasn’t mine. Your father made it look like I had died in that car accident. After my fake funeral, we argued. I was furious that he didn’t expose his father sooner. He left in anger, and I… I was captured by foreign human

    Back in the capital, Master Russell sat in his grand leather chair, his sharp eyes narrowing as his grandson, Greg, approached with hesitant steps. The room was steeped in an air of authority, the weight of their family's legacy pressing down on every word spoken within these walls.Greg bowed slightly, a sign of respect, before glancing briefly at his father, Leo, who stood on the opposite side of the room. Leo’s expression was unreadable, but the tension in the air was palpable.“Grandfather,” Greg began, his voice measured yet strained. “We lost the guy who was keeping tabs on Odell.”Master Russell’s eyes darkened instantly, a storm brewing behind his cold gaze. Without warning, he slammed his hand down on the armrest of his chair, the sound echoing like thunder in the room. “Speak coherently, boy!” he demanded, his voice gruff and filled with impatience.Leo’s gaze snapped to his son, his brow furrowing with concern. “What exactly do you mean by ‘lost’?” he asked, his tone a mix

    The following morning, Gabriel stepped out of the bathroom, water dripping from his hair and torso, with a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. His muscles were defined, the water glistening off his skin as he moved. The door creaked open, and without turning, he spoke, "Mother, I asked you to start having breakfast and I will join you…”"No, it's me,” came Anna’s voice, soft yet startled.Gabriel turned, his brows lifting in surprise. Anna stood frozen, her gaze locked on him, trailing from the droplets cascading down his chiseled chest to the towel at his waist. She couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat, her breath catching as her eyes traced the defined lines of his abs and the strong curve of his shoulders."Anna, good morning,” Gabriel greeted, his voice breaking through her trance, but she didn’t respond, lost in the sight before her.He took a step closer, his brows furrowing in concern. "Anna?" He reached out, snapping his fingers in front of her face, jolting her back to

    Gabriel joined his mother and Anna downstairs for breakfast. The dining table was set with a spread of pancakes, fresh fruit, and scrambled eggs. As they ate, the room was filled with the sound of clinking cutlery and light conversation.Marie looked up from her plate, her eyes settling on Gabriel. “How have you been living alone all this while, Gabriel?” she asked, a hint of concern in her voice.Gabriel’s face lit up with a smile. “I haven’t really been alone, Mother. I have a family now.”Marie’s fork paused mid-air. “You’ve got a family?”“Yes,” Gabriel said proudly. “A loving wife and a daughter. My wife is the best.”Anna, sitting across from him, suddenly dug a hole in her pancake with her fork, her gaze lowering as a wave of emotion washed over her. Magdalene, seated beside her, seemed unhappy for a brief moment but quickly forced a smile. She glanced at Anna, who returned the gesture with a faint smile of her own.***Later that day, around noon, Camella picked up Jessie fro

    Camella’s remorse deepened. “But it was your mother… If I had stayed and helped her, maybe you would have met her sooner. She could have died because of me.”Gabriel reached out, holding her face tenderly, his thumbs wiping away her tears. “It’s okay, Camella. I’m here now, and I’ll fix this. You did what you thought was right at the time.”“Gabriel, do you think your mother can forgive me?” she asked, her voice small and filled with hope.He pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly as she whimpered softly against his chest. “I’ll talk to her. We’ll work through this together.”Inside the house, Anna stood behind Marie, who sat on the edge of the bed, her face etched with hurt and anger. Her hands were clenched tightly in her lap, and her lips pressed into a thin line.“Mrs. Marie, please don’t be angry,” Anna pleaded softly.“I can’t help it,” Marie snapped, her voice cold and bitter. “That woman is a bad person. I don’t know how my son got involved with her. She’s heartless. I hop

    Gabriel walked back into the house with Camella, his arm wrapped protectively around her shoulders. As they entered the living room, Marie was descending the stairs, her expression instantly darkening when she saw them together. Her eyes narrowed, and the tension in the room thickened.“Why did she return?” Marie’s voice was sharp, her anger bubbling to the surface.“Mom, please, relax,” Gabriel said, holding up a hand to calm her. “I want you to forgive Camella. It was a mistake. That particular day, she had to leave because she got a call from our daughter’s school. Jessie wasn’t doing well, and Camella had to rush over.”Marie scoffed, her eyes flashing with bitterness. “A mistake? She’s evil, Gabriel! You don’t know the kind of person she is. She left me to die in the street. How can you defend her?”Gabriel’s jaw tightened, his eyes pleading with his mother. “Camella didn’t want to leave you, but she was scared for Jessie. She made a difficult choice, and she regrets it every day

    Gabriel returned to the house, his mind still racing with thoughts of the conversation he’d just had. He joined them at the dining table, where lunch had already begun. Marie sat at the head of the table, her posture stiff, while Jessie was animated, chatting excitedly about her day. “Grandma, you should have seen me at school before our spring break!” Jessie beamed, her face lit up with joy.Marie smiled warmly at her granddaughter. “I’m sure you were the brightest star in the class, darling. Just like your father.”Anna, sitting beside Marie, chimed in. “Jessie is so smart, Mrs. Marie. She’s just like Gabriel when he was her age.”“Oh, I do not doubt that,” Marie replied, completely ignoring Camella, who sat silently across from her. Instead, she turned to Anna, her tone filled with warmth. “Anna, you’ve always had such a good eye for these things. I’m so glad you’re here.”“Thank you, Mrs. Marie. I’m happy to help,” Anna responded, casting a quick glance at Camella, who tried to

    Leo’s heart pounded in his chest as he absorbed the chilling command, fear and anticipation swirling within him.He carefully backed away from the door, his breath catching in his throat as he tried to remain as silent as possible. His heart pounded with a mixture of fear and dread as he made his way down the corridor, constantly glancing over his shoulder to ensure he wasn’t being watched. Once he reached his room, he quickly slipped inside and locked the door behind him, the click of the lock echoing in the quiet space.Ruth looked up from the bed where she had been knitting, her face immediately creasing with concern as she took in Leo’s ashen expression. “What happened? You look petrified,” she asked, setting her knitting aside and rising to her feet.Leo’s hands trembled slightly as he ran them through his hair, trying to collect his thoughts. “Greg met with Natalie,” he began, his voice low and strained. “But she didn’t tell him anything. Nothing at all.”Ruth’s eyes brightene

    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
