Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Departure to Gridlock

Raidan looked at the council members who had finalized their decision regarding the punishment of Edward’s eldest son, Dexton.

The seniormost council member stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we think Dexton’s wolf should be taken away from him. Also, he will serve a ten-year prison term for his crimes. For an Alpha, it is like snatching his pride if they are without their wolf. Also, he must compensate those families who lost their loved ones due to his actions."

Dexton had his head low. "Just give me a death sentence. I don’t want to live," he said, finally looking into the eyes of the Alpha King.

Edward clenched his fists in helpless rage while Cillian’s eyes glistened with tears.

"No, a death sentence won’t make you understand the nature of the crime you’ve committed. You still show no remorse in your actions. You are supposed to suffer and truly see what you’ve done, Dexton," Raidan pronounced, his voice stern and unforgiving.

"I agree with the punishment that the council has come forward with. I hope you spend every single day in the prison repenting for your crimes. As for your mate’s demise, the evidence is still unclear. The postmortem clearly revealed she was drowned to death, not a murder. However, I order to reopen the case and look into it further."

Dexton was pulled up by the two warriors. He glanced at his father and brother before being dragged out of the council hall.

"The council is adjourned," Raidan announced and walked out first. Cillian took his shaken father home, and the hall quickly became empty.

👑 Dominick’s Journey

While walking through the corridor of the palace, Raidan asked his sons, "Did Gabriel call?"

"So far, no one has received his call, Your Majesty," Casaio replied, worry lingering in his tone.

"I wonder if they all are fine," Raidan murmured, concern for his family evident. "Nick, you’ve asked me to send you to the District of Gridlock. Are you absolutely sure about going to such a dangerous place without any help, except for your Beta?" he asked.

"Yes, Father. It’s important that I go there and find out the truth myself," Dominick answered, his decision firm. "Everything is ready, Dad. So, I only want yours and mother’s permission before I depart."

"You should definitely go. It’s time to start gathering answers," Raidan stated before changing direction to head toward his chambers. "Go see your mother and me in the main hall before leaving." Both the Alpha Princes stopped and watched their father leave with a trail of servants following behind him.

"I talked to Gabriel and Amelie. They are doing well, and so is Noah," Mabel informed the Alpha King as she layered the cape in her hands before giving it to the maidservant behind her.

"Also, Gabriel mentioned about seeing their past lives," Mabel continued. "Lady Katherine used her powers to channelize a path for it. He didn’t tell me the details, but he feels finding the cure for their situation is easy now. I think they will return soon."

"That’s wonderful news," Raidan responded, pleased. "How is Lady Katherine? I hope she’s recovering well."

"No, my King. She will pass away soon. That’s what the doctors have told them," Mabel stated, her voice quiet with sadness.

"That must be a difficult time for Carlos," Raidan said sympathetically.

"Yes." A short silence stretched between them.
