Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Addicted to your presence

Raidan amusedly glanced at his wife. "I didn’t expect you to say that to Gabriel," he remarked.

"Even I didn’t know I would say that," Mabel whispered.

"Well, Amelie has brought a change in our son. Gabriel wanted to be loved. Kate told me on phone that Amelie is a sweet woman. She didn’t know the man who rescued her the night she was being hunted, was none other than Gabriel. Amelie never took advantage of his status. I hope you give them your blessings and forget the prophecy which always made you so detached with Gabriel."

As Raidan finished those words, he looked forward to Mabel’s response. But she remained quiet.

Raidan reached to her hand and gently caressed it. "Don’t keep such a stoic face in front of Gabriel. He still hopes to see the love of his mother. He may say he doesn’t care for it, but he does. After all, he’s just a child to us," he opined.

Mabel hummed and furrowed her brows together.

Gabriel leaned back on the recliner and shut his eyes. His body was tired and needed some rest. He didn’t realize when the sleep took over him and he fell into a deep slumber.

Amelie returned to the mansion and went straight to his room to check on him. However, as she walked in, her sight greeted his resting body. She found out from Katelyn that Gabriel remained by her side the entire night without taking a single wink of sleep.

Quietly, Amelie stepped toward him while being careful not to make a sound. She opened the cupboard and pulled out a soft, warm blanket. With tender hands, she draped it over Gabriel’s sleeping form.

She lowered herself onto the rug beneath the recliner, inhaling the familiar musk that clung to him, which was both earthy and fresh. It wrapped around her like a comfort she didn’t know she needed. A gentle smile tugged at her lips as the storm in her chest slowly began to quiet.

Silently, Amelie leaned her head against the small space left on the edge of the recliner, close enough to feel the warmth of his body.

’Since when did I become so addicted to your presence? When did just being near you start to feel like home?’ she wondered. ’And I think I’m in love with you, Gabriel.’

The thought lit something in her chest. A bright smile bloomed on her lips, and she shut her eyes tightly, as if holding onto a secret only her heart understood.

When she opened them again, Amelie found herself lying on the bed, curled up beside Gabriel.

The soft golden hues of evening poured through the curtains, startling her — she hadn’t meant to fall asleep for so long.

She shifted slightly, attempting to sit up, but Gabriel’s arm tightened around her waist, halting her.

"Where do you think you’re going?" he murmured sleepily, eyes still closed.

"It’s evening," she replied gently.

"Mhm." He nuzzled his face against her neck, his breath hot against her skin. His teeth grazed her throat ever so lightly. "And your scent is making this evening even more beautiful," he whispered.

A warm flush climbed her cheeks.
