Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Carve out her place

"Just order for Juniper’s confinement in the prison," Gabriel told his father as they both entered the council hall. "She deserves to rot in the prison. The laws must work both the ways, Dad. If a commoner were at her place, they would have been imprisoned by now."

"She’s the daughter-in-law of this house. That’s what stopping me," Raidan stated with a frown.

"And your daughter-in-law didn’t care about your order. You were supposed to tell the truth yourself to the council first before revealing to the general public. What Juniper did is absolutely wrong! She exposed about Zilia just in jealousy. I can’t believe you’re still keeping such a traitor in this house."

"Gabriel, she would not have done it if–"

"If she had gotten a big fat wedding, right, Dad?" Gabriel sneered. "That’s ridiculous. Juniper doesn’t care for the wedding. If she had, then today she wouldn’t have done this."

Just then, Dominick appeared in the council hall.

"Father, I-I am sorry."

Raidan placed a hand on Dominick’s shoulder, patting it.

"Where’s Casaio?" he asked.

"He went to bring Idris from the school," Dominick replied.

"Bring Juniper too. The one who messed up everything," Gabriel’s patience snapped.

"Why are you even angry about this? It doesn’t involve you," Dominick remarked.

The moment his last word fell out of his mouth, Gabriel grabbed him by the collar. "Your wife would have dared to mess with my life too."

"Gabriel, leave him," said Raidan, but he didn’t listen to his father.

"You know what, Ophelia is looking for any weak link around Amelie and me. Juniper is handing her one on a silver platter. If she could do this to Zilia, what else might she do?" Gabriel said, keeping the control on his wolf.

Dominick clasped his hands together before shoving Gabriel back. "It’s not going to happen. Juniper sent the message before Father summoned the three of us."

"Don’t defend her," Gabriel shot back

Dominick pressed his lips into a thin line, unwilling to argue further. He knew his younger brother too well, always quick to anger, always ready for a fight.

Gabriel exhaled sharply, turning away as a voice brushed against his mind through the mindlink.

’Alpha, I’ve gathered information on the Vittileo family.’

Without another word, he strode out through the eastern corridor and into the palace gardens, where Karmen awaited him beneath the willow arch.

"Did you find anything useful?" Gabriel asked.

"I looked into Juniper’s father’s businesses," Karmen began. "On paper, everything appears clean. No irregularities, nothing that could be used against him."

Gabriel’s brow furrowed. "Then what did you find?"

Karmen leaned slightly closer, lowering his voice. "An old lady I spoke with mentioned something... interesting."

Gabriel’s eyes sharpened. "Go on."
