Chapter 246: Hurt someone recently

Gabriel and Amelie exchanged a glance, unease mirrored in both their eyes. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Why would we be cursed for something that was never meant for us?" Amelie murmured.

"I can’t give you an exact answer yet," Carlos replied seriously. "But it’s connected to both of your past lives. And uncovering the truth from that time... it won’t be easy."

Gabriel leaned forward. "My mother always kept her distance from me. She said a high priestess once warned her, told her I would bring chaos because of a past she had seen in me."

Carlos’s expression sharpened. "Where is this high priestess now?"

Before Gabriel could answer, Amelie sat beside him, her mind drifting back to what the Queen had once confessed: ’Her son isn’t supposed to fall in love. That’s why she kept him deprived of affection. The priestess feared love would destroy him.’

"The high priestess is gone," Gabriel said softly. "She passed away when I was a child."

He then turned his head slightly toward Amelie. "But there’s more. Your mother told us that the high priest of your pack saw you the day you were born. He claimed you must never fall in love... because your mate would die."

Carlos’s brows drew together in shock.

He remembered how Amelie had lived under constant watch, barely allowed to step beyond the boundaries of her home. Even as a child, she had risked everything to care for him, sneaking out, skipping school, hiding him in a cave deep in the forest, bringing him medicine and food.

"Is this why you were so restricted to go anywhere as a child?" Carlos asked to confirm.

"Maybe. Mom told me the truth late. After I got married," Amelie answered. "My first mate was Alex. He’s dead," she asserted. "The curse won’t come to Gabriel, right?"

"It won’t," Gabriel said. "You think a lot." He quickly grabbed her hand.

"Curses are meant to hurt people," Carlos declared. "However, not every time people get hurt. I suppose Alex died because of his karma. He rejected you, didn’t consider you anything. So, saying that falling in love would be the reason of your mate’s death, isn’t right. You worship the Moon Goddess. She’s the one brought you both together, then she must’ve something in her mind. We can’t know what divinity has hidden for us."

Carlos positive words were full of hope and warmth. It brought Amelie’s racing heart to calmness and her thoughts to one place.

Gabriel sensed Amelie felt better hearing all of that. He was aware that a part of her was worried for Gabriel.

"There’s one more thing I’d like to share," Amelie said.

"Hmm? What is it?" Carlos was ready to answer her.

"I got a strange nightmare a few days ago. I saw a woman in the dream and..." Amelie paused, feeling troubled before continuing, "... She hurt Gabriel. It was horrific. It felt so real." Then, turning to Gabriel, she added, "I still think this dream has a deeper meaning. I never saw anything like this before."

’Could she be talking about the witch I’ve seen?’ Carlos thought.

"Sometimes mind do create such scenarios," Carlos pronounced, not wanting her to feel so panicked over a dream. "It didn’t happen in reality nor it will." A smile formed on his lips. This was the best assurance he could to Amelie given the state she was in.

"Of course! I’ll call the servants back," Gabriel said, calling Albus and instructing him to return with the servants.

While having breakfast, Carlos continued his observation. He ate till his stomach was full.

"The food was delicious," he said, wiping his mouth with the napkin and later, drinking water.

"We are glad that you enjoyed it," Amelie said with a warm smile. As the servants cleaned the table, she asked Carlos, "You can rest more if you want."

"I’ve slept enough. I’ll just explore the city. Gabriel, can you lend me a car? I’ve the license with me, so don’t worry," Carlos stated.

"Of course!"

The three of them walked out and stopped in the living room, where Karmen was present standing near the couch with a file in his hand.

"Gabriel, I’ve prepared the report," Karmen said as he felt their presence. He then gazed at Carlos and introduced himself, "I’m Prince Gabriel’s beta, Karmen. I hope you had a good rest."

"It’s nice to meet you, Karmen. I’m Carlos Ashfall, Amelie’s close friend. Yes, I did have a good rest."

The two shook hands with each other. "You’ve hurt someone recently. I hope you stay true to your nature about what you feel," Carlos whispered, confusing Karmen. He patted Karmen’s back of the palm before pulling away his hand.
