Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Blinded by love

Gabriel leaned in, leveling his face with Amelie’s. He could feel the subtle tension in her nerves.

"You’ve got impressive resistance," he murmured, easing the weight of his pheromones. A hint of curiosity colored his voice. "How did you train yourself to withstand it?"

"I didn’t," Amelie replied softly, her lips brushing his in a gentle kiss. "I’m just... careful," she added.

Gabriel’s violet eyes sparkled with amusement. "Careful not to be ruined by me?" he teased, his fingers gliding delicately along the contours of her face before pausing beneath her chin, lifting it ever so slightly.

Amelie caught her bottom lip between her teeth, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks. "Aren’t you tired? We should sleep. It’s already so late," she said, finishing her sentence with a soft yawn as she covered her mouth with one hand.

Gabriel chuckled. "You’re the one who’s tired."

"Hmm," she hummed. "But if you want me to stay awake..."

"We’re sleeping," he interrupted gently, sitting up and reaching for the fallen strap of her dress, pulling it back into place. "Get changed."

She pushed herself up as well, watching him for a moment. "I can manage," she said quickly, not wanting to be a burden or stir any unnecessary concern.

"A good night’s rest is essential for a new mother," Gabriel reminded her. As he unfastened the buttons of his shirt, he nodded toward the wardrobe. "Go ahead."

Amelie nodded and made her way to the closet, pulling out a set of comfortable nightwear. With a glance over her shoulder, she disappeared into the washroom, her heart still fluttering from the warmth of his touch and words.

She returned to the bedroom after a while and found Gabriel speaking on the phone with someone. Quietly, she sat down on the bed just as Gabriel turned to glance her way.

With a gentle gesture, he motioned for her to lie down. She nodded and slipped beneath the covers, pulling the duvet up to her chin.

Gabriel stepped out of the room to finish his call with Karmen, his voice fading down the hallway.

Amelie, meanwhile, couldn’t keep her eyes open much longer. Exhaustion wrapped around her like a soft lullaby, and soon, she drifted into sleep.

Her breathing grew slow and even, but her hands clutched the duvet tightly, as if holding onto something fragile in a dream.

When Gabriel returned to the room, he found her already in a deep slumber. He walked over to her quietly. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her grip on the edge of the duvet was still tense, revealing the traces of unease even in her rest.

Gabriel ran her fingers over her head, easing her while with other hand he made sure she would leave the duvet without breaking her sleep.

"You’ve endured a lot. I promise to keep worries out of your way," he murmured. Leaning down, he planted a soft kiss on the middle of her forehead before switching off the lights.

Gabriel didn’t go to bed right away. Instead, he made his way to the main palace. He needed answers from his mother about what she had done that morning.
