Gabriel carefully set the massive encyclopedia onto the heavy oak table in his study. He stood back, dusting his hands off with a sharp clap. "I wonder if it contains anything at all related to Aurevalis," he murmured.
He knew he would have to dedicate significant time to reading the book, but checking on Amelie and Noah was his immediate priority.
Locking the double doors of the study, he secured the key deep in his trouser pocket and headed toward the royal chambers. To his surprise, they were empty.
"Your Highness, little prince is with the Alpha King and Queen. While Lady Amelie has gone to drop Miss Flora to the guest room," Ashna informed him.
"Alright." Gabriel quickly changed course and headed for Raidan and Mabel's manor.
He found them both in the comfortable, sunlit sitting room, happily enjoying the early evening. Noah was perched between them on the sofa, babbling happily.
