Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Underestimated our mother

David stared at his daughter in disbelief when she firmly declared that she would not return with him.

He stepped closer, lowering his voice to a stern whisper. "What are you trying to pull, Amelie? Let’s go home quietly. Don’t stir up trouble for them."

But Amelie didn’t flinch.

Earlier, as she made her way to the palace beside Gabriel, she had been contemplating. She had spent more than a day on the proposal he had given her. This time, she didn’t wish to stay quiet and keep her thoughts within herself.

Her greatest regret had always been hiding the truth about her relationship with Alex, trusting the wrong person, and allowing fear to dictate her choices.

But meeting Gabriel had changed that. She had learned that saying the truth and being honest could not change things for the person before her, but for her, it could make a lot of difference.

All her life, Amelie had lived for others, putting her family’s needs above her own dreams and desires.

But not anymore.

This moment was hers and she wanted to make a choice for herself. More than that for the life growing inside her.

"Dad, I didn’t leave home just to return to the same place, where I have no value," Amelie said. "Only I know how suffocating it was to live in that prison where I held no worth, where being born an omega and failing to awaken my wolf made me invisible. Everyone treated me like I was nothing. The curse of Conley Family was the title given to me."

She shifted her gaze to the King and Queen, bowing slightly in respect.

"I apologize for the disturbance. I didn’t expect my father to come searching for me here. But I’m an adult now, and I have every right to choose where I go and who I wish to be with."

Gabriel remained silent, keeping the promise he had made to Amelie before they arrived. He let her speak for herself.

The Luna Queen, however, was less composed. "Of course, you’re free to leave home," Mabel said sharply. "But that doesn’t give you the right to cling to Gabriel."

Before Gabriel could intervene, Amelie met Mabel’s eyes without hesitation and speak.

"Prince Gabriel is my mate," she declared. "I cannot leave him. I choose him whole heartedly. I know my omega rank is an issue for Your Majesty, but someone once told me that if I didn’t have to lead a battle that I should be ashamed of being an omega. I should wear it with pride."

Gabriel’s eyes widened in surprise, her words settling in his chest like a flame that warmed and stunned him at once. He had expected to wait until the gala for her answer, but Amelie had given it now, in front of everyone, with conviction and courage that took his breath away.

"I wish you were as pure as your words, Amelie," Mabel said with a cold chuckle and mockery.

"Let’s stop this now," Raidan murmured, his gaze shifting uneasily between his wife and those in the hall.

But Mabel wasn’t finished. Her voice rang with command. "No. Amelie isn’t Gabriel’s mate. They’re both lying."

Gabriel, meanwhile, felt the shift in the atmosphere and narrowed his eyes. A suspicion crept into his chest. ’Did she contact Alex too?’

Across the room, Casaio gave a low chuckle, speaking through the mindlink, ’You underestimated our mother, Gabriel.’
