Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Will you marry me?

Amelie was lost elsewhere in her thoughts when Gabriel’s unexpected action jolted her back to the present.

To her astonishment, he lowered himself onto one knee, his hand still holding hers gently.

"What are you doing?" she whispered, her voice laced with nervous confusion as she glanced around at the growing circle of onlookers.

Gabriel’s violet met her eyes in an affectionate gaze. "Something I should have done the moment I met you," he said.

She forgot to blink and breath in that rare moment. His gesture directed to one thing. ’Is he proposing me? But why would he? We only met a few days ago,’ she thought.

"You are my mate," Gabriel continued, "and I think it’s the perfect evening to declare that I am no longer mateless." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

From his white coat’s pocket, he pulled out a small velvet box and opened it. Nestled inside was a diamond ring.

"Will you marry me, Amelie Conley?" he asked.

It was the kind of proposal every woman dreams of– The heartfelt gesture, the sincerity in his tone and the promise of a future.

But in her case it never came from the man she loved once with all her heart and soul. From Alex, she only received betrayal and rejection.

However, in this moment, Gabriel was on his knees. A man she’d only recently met, who had not only become her protector but also her second chance mate. Gabriel hadn’t just offered her a ring. He had offered her a new beginning with him, a future with him and the purest bond of marriage with him.

Amelie’s eyes brimmed with tears. She had never expected something so beautiful, so pure, and so public from anyone. But Gabriel made it happen as he kept saying to her how he would reveal to the world about them.

But she had made her choice earlier that day, when she confessed that Gabriel was her second chance mate.

"Yes," she breathed. "I want to!"

In that moment, the world faded away. The whispers, the stares, the grand ballroom, all disappeared. All she could see was him. Gabriel. The man who had stepped into her life like an angel and calmed every part of her soul.

Without wasting a second, Gabriel slipped the ring onto her finger. Then, rising to his feet, he leaned forward and sealed their promise with a soft, heartfelt kiss.

It wasn’t rushed. It was simple, sealing their fate in front of everyone.

The entire ballroom was shrouded in silence, until Katelyn clapped first with joy. The Alpha King, Gabriel’s two elder brothers, and soon the entire ballroom joined in with a wave of applause that echoed like a warm blessing.

Not everyone was pleased, though.

Flora stood frozen, her hands clenched into trembling fists. Bitterness swirled in her chest, and she took a step forward, preparing to expose what she believed was Amelie’s pregnancy. Her lips parted, but before a word could escape, Karmen appeared, blocking her path like a shadow.

"You two should leave the ballroom," Karmen said coldly.

"Why?" Flora snapped among the echoes of the claps.

"Prince Gabriel has issued the order," Karmen replied. Then, he turned to Alex. "Alex Morgan, kindly ask your partner to cooperate before I’m forced to act."
