Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Mission was accomplished

"Good morning, Dad," Dominick said into the phone as he gazed out the window. Overnight, the land had been blanketed in yet another layer of snow, the world outside muted and still.

"I was informed about your progress," Raidan’s steady voice replied. "You solved the case sooner than either of us expected."

"Dad, it wouldn’t have been possible without someone else’s help. I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time," Dominick admitted. The cold air brushed against his face, yet he remained by the window. "How is everything at the palace? And Casaio and Zilia, are they well?"

"They’re doing well," Raidan answered. "So, when do you plan on returning?"

"Not yet," Dominick said after a brief pause. "There’s still a lot that needs to be done here. I want to make things better before I leave."

"Then make sure you finish your work soon," Raidan said firmly. "Your mother is still worried about you."

A faint smile touched Dominick’s lips. "Please tell Mom not to worry anymore. I’m doing much better now."

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door. Dominick turned his head and saw Kavin pushing it open slightly.

"Very well," Raidan said, and the call ended.

Dominick lowered his phone and glanced at the darkened screen before setting it aside.

"Good morning, Your Highness," Kavin greeted politely as he entered, followed by a maid. "It’s quite cold this morning, so I’ve brought you some herbal tea."

Dominick turned toward them as the maid carefully placed the cup and saucer on the nearby table.

"Is Evan awake?" he asked.

"Yes, my lord," Kavin replied. "He rose early. I believe work was on his mind."

The maid quietly exited the room while Dominick settled into the armchair. He lifted the cup, the warmth seeping into his hands, and took a slow sip.

"And Jeniva?" he asked.

"Miss Jeniva is still resting," Kavin said. "After everything she’s been through, it’s no surprise. She’s remarkably strong, especially for an omega." He smiled softly. "She reminds me of my own daughter."

Dominick looked up thoughtfully. "Why don’t you take a few days off? Go home and spend time with your family. The maids can handle the daily duties."

"Your Highness," Kavin said gently, "I was on leave for two months not long ago. I only returned a month back. Besides, serving you is my responsibility."

"At least consider going home for Christmas," Dominick suggested. "I’ll be returning to the palace around that time as well."

Kavin inclined his head. "As you wish."

Once Dominick finished his tea, Kavin collected the cup and saucer and left the room. Silence settled in, broken only by the distant hush of winter outside.

Dominick glanced around the room for a brief moment before rising from his seat. Deciding it was time to begin the day properly, he made his way toward the bath.

As the warm water cascaded over him, his thoughts drifted back to the memories he had once shared with Juniper. Moments filled with warmth and laughter resurfaced. His jaw tightened, and he clenched his fists beneath the spray. With a swift movement, he turned off the warm tap and let the cold water rush over him instead.
