Karmen lowered himself to the chair after putting a file on Gabriel’s desk.
"What’s this? I thought my work was over for today," Gabriel pointed, grabbing the file.
"Prince Dominick has gathered the witnesses’ statements regarding the mysterious murders of the lesser-known betas. He sent a copy to me, so I printed it for easy reference," Karmen explained.
Gabriel flipped the pages inside the file, skimming through them. "It mentions that many are targeted because they are close to the alphas. But such lesser-known betas aren’t even known to the alphas. What kind of statement is this?" he murmured, thinking hard.
"Who knows what ambition these hunters carry?" Karmen muttered.
Gabriel closed the file. "I’ll ask my brother later," he asserted, closing the file and rising to his feet.
"I’ll go then. Tomorrow, I’m not coming to work. There are no important meetings, so I’ll enjoy my time with Amelie."
"Sure." Karmen, too, left his seat. "By the way, tomorrow is full moon. This year’s big one. I heard that full moons affect pregnant ladies in many ways."
"How many ways? Tell me," Gabriel pressed.
"Like worsening mood swings, heightened emotions, etc.," Karmen replied.
"Hmm. Then, I’ll pamper her more," Gabriel said, smiling.
Karmen shook his head.
"Mom was lately asking me to go on the same dates. There are some influential beta families’ daughters," Karmen confided in him.
"And what’s your take on that?" Gabriel curiously asked, leaning against the desk.
"I don’t know. You know that I’m not into dating and relationship stuff. But since mom is insisting on it, I may try to keep her heart. In the end, I’ve to make a choice," Karmen stated.
"Hmm. That’s also true. But it’s not bad to settle down with your mate. Look at me," Gabriel gave his own example.
"You always wanted to have a mate, Dude," Karmen replied. "I don’t care about having a mate. I feel this life is much simpler, free of stress." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"That’s true. I always desired having a mate," Gabriel agreed. "And I even got a little bun with my mate." He couldn’t contain the joy of becoming a father too.
Karmen chuckled. "The pup is going to take your sleep away. Then, you better not complain then," he warned him.
"I won’t. You don’t know how good a father I can be. In fact, I’m giving to give all my love to the pup. And I’m used to waking up late," Gabriel asserted. "Well, I take my leave now. See you tomorrow." He picked up his phone from the desk and left.
