Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Choice will never align

"I think everyone likes them. They are unavoidable," Amelie said, keeping her hands locked behind her back. "That means you want to look at them forever," she added.

"That’s impossible unless you stay close to me forever," Gabriel said.

Amelie lowered her gaze. "Even if we part ways, I’ll always remember your eyes," she murmured. A yawn escaped her lips, and she covered her mouth, realizing how sleep was finally catching up to her.

"I should head inside now. Thank you for taking this walk with me," she said, turning on her heels.

Gabriel watched as she disappeared into the mansion. He remained in the garden for a few moments before finally making his way inside.

Instead of going to his own room, he found himself walking toward Amelie’s door. Gently pushing it open, he stepped inside. The room was wrapped in silence and darkness.

He already could sense the steady breaths of Amelie, who was on the bed, covered in duvet.

’I hope she finds a home here and doesn’t leave me. I don’t wish her to go,’ Gabriel thought and quietly stepped out of the room, closing the door behind him.

As he finally entered into his room, he picked up the shiny alcohol bottle placed on the table and filled a glass for himself.

’Why was the pup responding to us?’ Valko’s voice echoed in the back of Gabriel’s mind.

’I don’t know,’ Gabriel replied inwardly, bringing the glass to his lips. He took a slow sip of the burning liquor before slumping into the lounge chair. His chest rumbled with the frustration of his restless wolf, growing more impatient by the second.

"Calm down, Valko," Gabriel muttered under his breath. "We’ll figure it out soon. First, we need to remove that seal from her neck. But for that, we have to find the witch who cast it."

A firm knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Gabriel barely shifted his gaze as Karmen stepped inside.

"You’re still awake," Gabriel noted. The dim light reflected off the ring on his middle finger, catching Karmen’s eye for a brief moment.

"I have something important to report," Karmen said.

"If it’s about my family, keep it to yourself," Gabriel replied, his voice laced with disinterest.

Karmen shook his head. "Not them, Alpha Prince. This concerns something else."

"Hmm?"

"Our spy has died mysteriously in Southern Blood Dominion," Karmen finally revealed.

Gabriel’s brows knitted together at the unexpected news. This had never happened before. A death like this, without warning or reason, was a dangerous sign.

"When will the body arrive?" he asked.
