Chapter 108
**Flashback started p>
“I wonder why do you want to get rid of Amelie? And why aren’t you doing it yourself?” asked Alex, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the recliner.
“Well, more than me you want Amelie to die. She and Gabriel are going to marry soon. Do you think if Amelie forgave you that means Gabriel forgot everything? You are wrong, Alex. He will come after you and kill you in his own brutal way!” Jodie said from the other side of the call.
Alex furrowed his brows together, realizing what this woman was saying was true to some extent. Gabriel was known as the Dark Prince because he would commit the dark acts when no one was watching him and then would present them as the example to the others, who anger him or defy him.
“How did you get my number?” Alex questioned.
“Is that important?” Jodie queried. “You’ve only one day to make a plan and get rid of Amelie. Tomorrow, I am going to meet her for the lunch and that’s the best time for you to attack her because Gabriel doesn’t allow her to go anywhere alone p>
“Are you fucking serious? You want me to attack Amelie?” Alex didn’t wish to come into her words easily. “I’m hanging up,” he muttered in frustration. He almost pulled away the phone from his ear, but Jodie stopped him.
“Alex, I heard that you are marrying Amelie’s younger sister tomorrow. After what Amelie did to you, you want to keep relationship with her sister? That’s truly ridiculous. If you still feel I am talking nonsense, then you can hang up this call,” Jodie said, leaving the decision on him.
Alex’s grip on the phone tightened. It was true that he didn’t either want Flora with him. He wanted the entire Conley family to disappear.
“What if you betray me? Give me a reason to trust you,” Alex stated. “Who knows you’ll open your mouth before Gabriel p>
Jodie chuckled to hear him. “If I had to tell Gabriel, then I wouldn’t have even called you. I love Gabriel and for that, I need Amelie out of his life. If you don’t trust me, then it’s fine. I’ll find a way myself to end her p>
Jodie pulled away the phone from her ear.
“I want to do it. Let’s end Amelie together,” Alex said, making her stop from lowering the phone. “You will tell me where Amelie will be present and I’ll send someone to do the work p>
“Okay. I will give you a heads up tomorrow regarding the restaurant we will be visiting for lunch,” Jodie said.
“Hmm.” Alex lowered the phone as it disconnected.
He didn’t call Zander, instead he summoned his gamma to carry out the task ahead through the phone.
Jayce, the gamma, arrived outside Alex’s room after some time and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Alex ordered.
Jayce opened the door and walked inside only to see Alex sitting on the recliner. He greeted their pack’s alpha, ready to carry out the order.
“I want you to hire someone, who can kill Amelie,” Alex began.
Jayce gazed at him with shock, but said nothing against it. “What do I have to do, Alpha?” he asked.
“Take a seat. I will explain the plan to you,” Alex said. “Make sure to do this within the early morning. If you succeed in this, I will raise your rank to the beta,” he stated.
“I understand, Alpha,” Jayce said, bowing his head. He left promptly to carry out the task. While Alex comfortably rested against the chaise.
“Zander, you refused to help me, so I needed to find a better person that you. Once Amelie dies, I will make sure to eliminate you along with her family,” Alex muttered to himself.

Alex was writhing in pain. He screamed for the help, but didn’t get any response. “It wasn’t me He purred as his slowly shut. “That bitch he cursed, thinking about Jodie, who was behind all of this.
Just then, he heard the sound of metal gates opening and he lifted his gaze.
Gabriel walked in and Alex gulped in fear. He had expected to face him, but he wasn’t ready for it.
“Should I bring Jodie here, Alpha?” Karmen asked.
“Yes,” Gabriel said.
Karmen bowed and walked away.
“It–It wasn’t me. Jodie told me about Amelie’s location and told me to hire a man to harm Amelie. I swear it wasn’t my idea, Prince Gabriel. I just swayed away in her words. But it wasn’t my intention,” Alex began begging. That was the only way to calm down Gabriel.
“I told you not to fool me with your lies,” Gabriel said.
“But I’m not lying. Please trust me,” Alex said with desperation.
“Why don’t you stop lying, Alex?” Amelie stepped forward and halted beside Gabriel. “You tried to kill my parents. You played with my life and impregnated me. I willingly accepted that. But why do you have to make Flora’s life hell? I can’t believe you were such an evil person,” she muttered in disbelief.
Alex lowered his eyes in shame. There was no way he would escape Gabriel’s clutches.
“Amelie, you should go back to the mansion. Karmen will take you there,” Gabriel said. He didn’t want her to overstress by talking with Alex.
“Amelie, just let me live this time. I swear I won’t ever bother you ever again.” Alex begged. This was his only chance to get saved. “I will step down from the position of the Alpha. If you ask me to live the pack, I will willingly do that. But please… For the sake of the pup in your womb, in whose veins my blood is also running, let me live p>
Amelie was not ready to flinch anymore. Alex, as if understood, began slapping himself. The silver against his skin burned him, but he didn’t stop.
“I was foolish to treat you in such a manner. Please forgive me, Amelie,” Alex said.
