Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Uncover the truth

Flora sat quietly at the table, her fingers wrapped around a warm cup of evening tea. She took small sips while her eyes were still swollen from crying.

Noticing her daughter’s lingering sadness, Samyra reached out gently. "Are you sure everything’s alright, Flora?" she asked again, her voice laced with quiet worry.

"Yes, Mom," Flora replied, offering a strained smile, one that barely masked the turmoil within her.

David glanced at her, concern etched into the lines of his face. He sighed. "Amelie still hasn’t come to see us," he murmured.

Just then, as if summoned by his words, Amelie’s voice floated in from the doorway of the modest sitting room, tucked away in the western quarters of the palace. It was the temporary residence given to her parents during their stay.

"Good evening," Amelie greeted, stepping into the room. Her gaze swept over them with subtle intensity. "Did you all rest well?"

David’s face softened a little. "Yes, we did," he replied, gesturing to the seat beside him. "Come, sit with us."

Amelie walked over and quietly took her place next to her father. There was a pause before she spoke again,

"You’ve been asking me to stay in the pack for a few days," she began. "But I’ve realized that, for the sake of my mental peace, it’s better I keep my distance."

"We understood that," David said gently, nodding.

Amelie finally looked up, her eyes steady as they met her parents’. "You couldn’t protect Flora in this pack. And before her, I was the one they used to target. The bullying will never stop, and now, it has shifted to Flora. Though everything is happening with her because of her past crimes."

Samyra and David looked at Flora, who had lowered her head further.

"Are you two supposed to keep living in the Red River Pack just because our ancestors once did? Is that the only reason to endure all this?"

David’s brows furrowed as he studied her face. "Are you suggesting we leave the Red River Pack?"

"Yes," Amelie said without hesitation. "That’s exactly what I’m suggesting, Dad. I think you all should shift to San Ravendale. I’m not forgiving any of you entirely, but I think it will be cruel to hear how Flora is being targeted in the pack every day. I don’t want her dead."

Amelie’s gaze shifted to Flora, whose eyes shimmered with fresh tears. One rolled down her cheek in silence, and she quickly wiped it away.

"Flora, why did you hide things from me?" Samyra asked, her voice trembling. "When I asked you—"

"You noticed everything, Mom," Amelie cut in sharply. "You just chose to look away."

Her tone wasn’t loud, but it struck them deeper. She turned her eyes toward both parents.

"You did the same when it was me. And Dad..." Her gaze locked onto him. "You’ve always placed your reputation above your children."

David looked down, his lips pressed tightly, but he didn’t offer a defense.

Amelie continued, her voice calm but piercing. "We don’t live under the same old traditions anymore. In San Ravendale, wolves live freely, without fixed packs, yet every one of them is loyal to the royal family and the Alpha King. They are respected, not oppressed."

She turned her focus back to her father. "It’s time you thought about Flora. About this family."

A second later, she added, "I’ve found where I belong and as I said many times before too. I have found a family of my own, so you don’t have to worry for me or the pup in my womb. Currently, you both should focus on Flora and her mental health."

"Flora," David began, "we’re sorry. We keep making mistakes... I know that. I’ve been thinking about moving for a while now, but the truth is, I didn’t know where to go or how to start."

Amelie gave a short nod. Her eyes shifted toward Flora, who stood up abruptly, the tears in her eyes still fresh.

"Excuse me," Flora whispered and quickly stepped out of the room.

"I’ll go after her," David said, rising from his seat and following his daughter, leaving Amelie and Samyra alone in the now silent room.

Amelie turned toward her mother. "Mom, there’s something I need to ask you."

"Yes, say it," Samyra replied gently, sensing the shift in Amelie’s tone.

Amelie didn’t beat around the bush. Her eyes met her mother’s. "Is there a hidden mark on my body, one I’ve never seen?"

Seeing the sudden silence of her mother, Amelie was confirmed that there existed a mark. "Mom, you should tell me the truth."
