Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: I’m ready, Gabriel

Gabriel lifted Amelie’s veil, revealing the radiant face he’d longed to see. His eyes softened as he caught the shimmer of tears clinging to her lashes. Gently, he brushed them away with his thumb before cradling her face in his hands.

"Why are you crying?" he whispered tenderly. "This is a moment of happiness."

"I’m not crying," Amelie murmured in a trembling voice.

As Gabriel leaned in, her eyes fluttered closed, and their lips met shortly. Still clutching her bouquet, her hands instinctively slid around the back of his neck, pulling him closer into the kiss.

Cheers and applause erupted throughout the hall, echoing with joy. Mabel clapped politely, a strained smile gracing her lips. She was the only one, who wasn’t happy with their reunion.

Their kiss slowed before they finally pulled apart. A hue of red bloomed across Amelie’s cheeks as Gabriel stole another soft kiss, and the couple embraced, locking the moment into memory.

With the official ceremony drawing to a close, Amelie and Gabriel turned to seek blessings from their elders. When Mabel stepped forward to embrace Amelie, she placed a gentle yet formal pat on her back.

"Welcome to our family," Mabel said with a composed smile. "I trust you’ll uphold the legacy of the Sinclair name."

Amelie nodded, offering a warm smile in return. Though her heart wanted to tell the Queen why she chose Gabriel despite the warning she gave, she held them back. This wasn’t the right moment for it.

"Your Majesties," David began respectfully, "we didn’t offer anything to Amelie before the marriage was fixed. But now that the ceremony is over and we return to our pack, we’ll certainly send—"

"There’s no need for that, David," Raidan interrupted gently in his usual warm tone. "If you feel your daughter needs something, of course, you’re free to give her whatever you wish. But as for us, we have everything we need. Your daughter has become a part of our family now, and that alone is more than enough."

David bowed in response, touched by the humility and grace in the Alpha King’s words.

"It’s already getting late," Gabriel said suddenly, his fingers curling around Amelie’s hand, eager to steal a moment away from the crowd. "We should head out."

"The car is ready for both of you," Raidan confirmed with a nod. "Your mother and I will stay here at the hotel tonight. We’ll leave for the capital tomorrow."

Gabriel barely acknowledged the words. With a courteous bow to his parents and in-laws, he led Amelie toward the car.

As they reached the car and settled into the backseat, Amelie turned to glance at her family one last time. Her gaze lingered on her parents, her mother’s soft smile and her father’s proud eyes.

She waved at them gently as the car began to move.

Her eyes followed the slowly fading silhouettes of her family until they disappeared beyond the gates of the grand hotel.

Then, she shifted back into her seat, allowing herself to relax.

"Gabriel," Amelie tilted her head to speak to him but his sudden gesture caught her off guard.

He had pressed a soft kiss to her lips.

Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she instinctively leaned away slightly. "W-What was that?" she asked in a hushed tone, her wide, rosy lips parting in disbelief as her eyes flicked nervously toward the driver.

Gabriel simply smiled, settling back against the headrest. "It’s real," he said softly. "Since yesterday, I’ve been restless, like something inside me was missing. Now that you’re here with me... I finally feel complete. I’m no longer a wolf without his mate."

Amelie’s heart skipped a beat at his sincere words.

"Yes, it’s real," she murmured and lowered her eyes.

Then, Gabriel’s head rested on her shoulder, and she stiffened. Her fingers clutched the fabric of her gown and she tilted her head slowly only to find his violet eyes were on him.

"I took suppressents last night," Gabriel whispered. "It was unbearable after a certain time," he added.

"How do you feel now?" Amelie questioned.

Gabriel’s nose brushed against her skin as he inhaled her scent.

"Relieved," he admitted.

"The driver is also in the car. Why don’t you sit straight then?" Amelie suggested, feeling a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach with such a closeness.
