Amelie's pendant shimmered with a soft violet glow, and within seconds, Gabriel appeared before her. The warmth of his presence enveloped her, and she instinctively opened her eyes, sensing he had arrived.
He immediately turned toward her, concern etched into his features. Stepping closer, he gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
"You're not hurt, are you?" he asked.
Amelie shook her head. "No, I'm fine," she replied softly, her eyes meeting his.
A faint cry of pain broke the moment. Riley, just a few steps away, let out a whimper as she clutched her injured left arm, her face contorted in pain.
Karmen had rushed toward her, but Riley quickly stood, shifting into a defensive stance.
Gabriel's gaze snapped to Riley, a deep frown forming as recognition set in, she was the same woman who had attacked him at the hospital.
