Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Not lovers anymore

"Why would you say that?" asked Millie confusedly.

"I heard you three," Flora turned her sharp gaze toward the platform, where Millie’s two friends were still standing, "talking wrong about my sister."

Millie kept a calm look on her face as she finally halted. "Miss Flora, I’ve also heard what you did to your sister. Kindly reflect upon your actions rather than threatening me. I’m sure even if you tell what my friends and I talked, your own sister wouldn’t believe you."

Flora’s hands clenched into fists, but keeping her silence was the best in that moment.

"Now, please excuse me," Millie said and walked ahead.

Flora felt her heart began palpitating, and she looked at the crowd around herself. Her gaze started turning blurred, hallucinating that people surrounding her were laughing and mocking her.

Flora staggered back a step, shaking her head as her hand instinctively moved to her chest, trying to ease the growing tightness. Somehow, she managed to slip away from the crowd and grabbed a glass of water from a passing waiter. She drank in slow gulps, trying to calm the spiraling thoughts.

Lowering the glass, she walked over to a nearby table and gently set it down.

"You alright?" came a familiar voice.

Flora looked up, startled. Zander stood before her.

"Yes," she said quickly, lowering her eyes before offering him a polite nod.

Zander didn’t push. "I met your parents earlier," he said instead.

"Why?" Flora asked, a flicker of concern in her tone.

"Your father submitted a formal request to leave the pack... permanently," Zander replied calmly.

Flora nodded faintly. "Yes. We’re relocating to San Ravendale."

"I wish you the best," Zander said with quiet sincerity. "A fresh start might be exactly what you need."

"Thank you," Flora whispered. "And... I’m sorry for always being rude to you in the past."

Zander chuckled lightly. "How many times are you going to apologize for that?"

Flora fell silent. He noticed the way she nervously pressed her nail into her index finger, the tension evident.

Without thinking, Zander reached out and gently held her hand. She flinched, startled, blinking as if his touch had pulled her from a dark thought.

"Flora," he said gently, "if you ever need help, or just someone to talk to, you can call me. Don’t let other people’s words drown you. I know you can rise above it."

Flora hummed. "Thank you, Zander. Despite everything, you’ve been so good to me. I’ll not let you down. You’re the only one who still believes in me."

Amelie was stunned to see Zilia standing in the hall. Her eyes instinctively shifted to Gabriel.

"It’s part of the plan," he whispered reassuringly in her ear.

"Oh," she murmured, quickly masking her surprise.
