Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Threw me out of his life

Denzel looked over the document clipped to the heavy cardboard backing, ticking off the last of the equipment needed for the new batch of trainers.

He scrawled his signature at the bottom and handed the board to his junior, who was waiting to begin the procurement process.

"Get these ordered tonight," he directed.

He checked his watch: six in the evening. The day had been long, but his mind had never quite left the silent house where he’d left Juniper. He grabbed his phone and keys from the desk, heading straight for his car.

The drive back was shorter. When he arrived, he entered the security code into the keypad and stepped inside.

To his surprise, the house felt exceptionally quiet. The air was still, and the aggressive spike of Juniper’s pheromones had faded completely.

Denzel set his keys on the entryway table, his eyes moving toward the stairs.

"Denzel!" Juniper stepped out from the kitchen, a glass of water gripped in her hand. "I just woke up. I was planning to leave as soon as I finished this."

"Do you feel better?" Denzel asked, his eyes scanning her face for the telltale signs of fever. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Much better. Thank you for helping me. If not for you, I would have been in God knows what condition," she muttered, her fingers wrapping tighter around the glass as she looked down at the floor.

"I’m glad you’re better now," Denzel replied simply, his tone steady.

"Then, I must leave. I won’t bother you any longer," Juniper pronounced, her Alpha pride beginning to reassemble itself now that the haze had lifted.

"It’s late. I’ll drop you home," Denzel offered, already reaching for his keys on the entryway table.

"I’ve already troubled you so much," Juniper insisted. She turned back toward the kitchen to put her glass away, her movements sharp and efficient. But as she set the glass into the sink, a loud growl rumbled through her stomach.

Juniper froze, her shoulders tensing in hunger and embarrassment.

"You’re hungry," Denzel said, the corner of his mouth twitching as he bypassed the table and headed straight for the refrigerator to fetch a cold water bottle. "Why didn’t you eat anything?" Denzel asked, his tone more observant than accusing.

"I told you, I slept," Juniper replied, her voice gaining a bit of its usual Alpha edge as she tried to mask her hunger. "My body just shut down the moment I hit the mattress."

"Then let’s have dinner together," Denzel suggested. He uncapped a fresh water bottle and took a slow drink, his eyes never leaving hers.

"I would even suggest you stay the night. It’s already getting dark, and the ride to the East District is long. You won’t find a cab out here, either, you’d have to walk ten minutes just to reach the main road."
