Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Throw a big surprise

"Amelie, I heard you were behind this morning’s breakfast," Katelyn said with a pleasant smile as she took her seat beside Dominick.

"I helped, but I can’t take all the credit," Amelie replied modestly.

"Please, have a seat," Gabriel said, rising slightly to pull out a chair for her.

"My, my. Look at how much of a gentleman my brother has become," Casaio teased, watching the gesture with amusement.

Amelie smiled as she sat down. "Of course he is. He’s always had it in him," she said, glancing affectionately at Gabriel, who took the seat beside her.

"Seems like the love between you two blossomed far sooner than anyone anticipated," Casaio added playfully just as the maids began placing plates before them.

Gabriel shot his brother a dry look. "Or we could just enjoy breakfast without the commentary," he suggested.

Amelie, however, gently countered, "I think conversations like these make breakfast better. It’s nice to share moments like this. It brings us closer, doesn’t it?"

"You’re right, Amelie. Seems like our thoughts align," Casaio said with a gentle smile in her direction.

But before the warmth could settle, Dominick’s voice cut through the moment. "Amelie, I hope you’re strong enough to survive by Gabriel’s side," he said as he sliced into his steak. "Gabriel, if you’re serious about her, you owe it to your mate to tell her about the ruthless things you’ve done, even to your own siblings."

The entire lively mood turned down with his words.

Gabriel didn’t look at Dominick. He simply reached for his glass and said, "I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’d like us to have one peaceful meal together, without digging up the past."

He didn’t raise his voice, but the message was clear. He wouldn’t hesitate to kick Dominick out if he kept doing it.

Amelie’s smile faded slightly as Dominick’s words lingered in her mind. ’What did the second Alpha Prince mean by that?’ she wondered. ’Was it related to those old articles, the ones accusing Gabriel of trying to kill his own siblings?’

She had read them the day she got to know Gabriel Sinclair rescued her. The scandalous headlines and vague reports painting Gabriel as a cold-blooded dark prince. But none of it ever felt real to her after how he treated her. ’I don’t believe he could do something like that,’ she thought, casting a subtle glance toward him.

Gabriel, unfazed by the tension, silently sliced the steak on the plate before him. Then, he pushed the plate toward her and swapped it with the one in front of her.

"Here, eat this," he said gently.

Amelie accepted the plate with a small nod. "Thank you."

Fortunately, the rest of the breakfast passed without any further arguments, though an uneasy silence lingered in the air after Dominick’s sharp remark.

Breaking the tension with a soft smile, Katelyn turned to Amelie. "Amelie, have you decided on your wedding outfit yet? If you don’t mind, I’d love to help."

Amelie brightened slightly. "Sure, Kate. I’d actually love that." She instinctively glanced at Gabriel, silently seeking his opinion.

Gabriel met her gaze and offered a reassuring nod. "Kate will definitely be a better help than me," he said, lips curved faintly. "Just don’t push yourself too hard. If you get tired, rest. I want you to enjoy this, not get overwhelmed." Then his tone turned more serious. "I have to step out for an important matter, but I’ll be back soon."

Casaio, who had been quietly observing, placed his napkin down and spoke up. "I’ll come with you."

He sent a quick mindlink to Dominick, ’You’re coming too.’

Dominick’s mental reply was curt: ’I’m not interested.’

’For me, you will come, Nick,’ Casaio said firmly, not giving him a choice.
