Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Defend your youngest brother

Gabriel and Amelie stopped at a market floating above the sparkling Lirae Sea.

"This is one of the oldest markets in the world," Gabriel said, holding her hand. "Let’s find some beach outfits first, then we can enjoy the rest of the day."

They strolled down the cobblestone streets, hand in hand. The market was lively, with stalls lining every corner. Musicians played cheerful tunes, dancers twirled to the rhythm, and street performers showed off their stunts, adding to the excitement in the air.

The trees were in full bloom with vibrant summer flowers, their sweet scent drifting through the warm air.

"Look over there!" Amelie said, pointing toward a fountain surrounded by couples.

It wasn’t an ordinary fountain—it was shaped like a crescent moon, setting it apart from the usual ones they had seen. The water droplets that flowed from it sparkled in the sunlight, glimmering like diamonds as they fell.

"There’s a story behind this," Gabriel began as they slowly made their way toward the fountain.

"What story?" Amelie asked, her eyes lighting up with curiosity.

Gabriel glanced at the glowing water before speaking. "Long ago, there was a she-wolf whose mate had fallen seriously ill. No medicine or healing spell was working on him. Also, they had no money left for more. Desperate, she came here and prayed to the Moon Goddess, offering just a single flower petal in this fountain, because that’s all she had."

Amelie listened intently as Gabriel continued, "When she returned home, her mate’s condition had improved. Within days, he was fully healed. Since then, many couples come here, hoping for blessings, healing, or just to feel the magic that still lingers in the fountain."

"That’s such a beautiful story," Amelie whispered. She then recalled the Queen’s warning, and unease crept back into her heart.

"We should pray too," she said suddenly, stopping. Tilting her head up, she watched as soft white petals drifted down from the blooming trees above, carried gently by the breeze. Reaching out, she caught two petals in her palm and turned to Gabriel, offering him one with a soft smile.

Without waiting for his reply, she took his hand and led him to the edge of the crescent-shaped fountain.

Amelie released the petal into the water and brought her hands together in silent prayer. Gabriel didn’t look away from her. His eyes stayed on her face, admiring the peaceful expression she wore.

’I don’t know how I was connected to Gabriel in the past,’ Amelie silently prayed, ’but I know that you’ve mated me with him in this life. That feels like a blessing. I want to trust this bond and the power you hold over it. Please, keep him safe... and happy. That’s all I ask.’

Beside her, Gabriel slowly knelt by the fountain’s edge, lowering his petal to the surface.

’I just want to see her smile,’ he prayed. ’My prayer has always been for my mate. Please keep my mate safe, and give me the strength to protect not just her, but Noa too.’
