Matthias was pleased with Gabriel's response. But he left with a threat that if Gabriel was bluffing and buying Amelia time, then he would let loose the packs on all of the main vampire cities. The Alpha King would personally come to him and end his life. Gabriel agreed to meet Matthias in a few days to deliver Amelia and her lover to them.
Matthias and his protection left the castle. Gabriel smirked as soon as the Alpha's back was turned. Even if he was an Alpha King, Gabriel was an ancient, pureblooded vampire.
Gabriel was the first vampire to roam the earth. Matthias may be strong, but he was more powerful in many ways. He knew he came off as arrogant, but when one could kill many in a matter of seconds, why wouldn't he be?
