Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Keep your voice low

Amelie was left breathless, her chest rising and falling as her skin tingled from Gabriel’s touch. Yet he didn’t pull away, nor did she want him to.

One of his hands slowly trailed down from her cheek to her thigh, caressing it with a tenderness that made her shiver.

He leaned in closer, pressing a soft kiss to her skin before nuzzling his nose gently against her.

"You should see yourself in the mirror right now," Gabriel whispered, a small, teasing smile curving his lips. "You look absolutely adorable."

Before she could respond, he gripped her thighs firmly and lifted her into his arms.

"Put me down. I can walk upstairs," Amelie said softly.

"Don’t you like being carried like this?" Gabriel read the nerves in her eyes.

"I do, but–" her words cut off her words as Gabriel began walking out of the kitchen.

He carried her up the stairs and into the bedroom. There, he gently laid her down on the mattress and whispered, "It’s time to sleep."

Amelie gave a small nod and turned slightly onto her side, her lips tugging into a faint smile. Her heart beat steadily with a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time, a fragile, blossoming sense of being truly loved.

Then, in the stillness of the dimly lit room, her mind again drifted to the thoughts of Alex, her bastard ex-mate.

She had loved him once, trusted him, even clung to every word he said. But there was always something missing. With Alex, their relationship was kept behind closed doors. It was hidden from everyone and she blindly put faith into his every action.

But Gabriel... he stood beside her in the open. He embraced her in front of the world, defended her against his own mother, and even proposed to her in public, something she never imagined would happen after getting pregnant by someone else’s child.

"What are you thinking?" Gabriel’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. He had settled beside her, the soft glow from the bedside lamp catching in his eyes.

Amelie turned to meet his gaze as her heart slowly pounded against her chest.

"I found a diamond," she whispered.

Gabriel blinked, confused by her words. "Hmm?"

"You," she said, her smile widening. "You’re the diamond I never knew I was searching for. Precious and only one of its kind."

"I am not used to such praiseworthy words," Gabriel murmured and moved closer to her.

"Then, you didn’t find the right people," Amelie said.

"I agree to that," Gabriel said. He suddenly recalled what Ewan said and those words bothered him. He had to see a witch, a trustworthy one, who could tell him the meaning behind it.

"What are you thinking?" Amelie’s question brought him out of this thoughts.
