"Liz…" Gabriel murmured, sorrow heavy in his voice.
The betrayal stung deeply, and he struggled with the weight of his choices. Memories of their time together flooded his mind, each one a painful reminder of the trust that had been broken.
Determined to protect Wolfdale, he focused on the protective shield that surrounded their home. The barriers, once strong, flickered weakly.
With a deep breath, Gabriel summoned all his strength, channeling energy into the shimmering defenses.
His hands stretched out, fingers tense, as he tried to mend the fractured barrier.
Light pulsed from his fingertips, but every attempt seemed to falter, his power weakened by the emotional toll of Liz's betrayal and excessive production of Alphalithium.
Gabriel was being reckless, blinded by his love for Liz.
