Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: To accept another mark

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. Amelie stirred awake, a sense of calm settling over her, until she noticed someone’s presence beside her. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Gabriel lying on the same bed.

"When did he come here?" she whispered to herself, heart fluttering in surprise.

Her hand moved on its own, fingers brushing his forehead before sliding into his hair with a delicate touch. The strands felt soft beneath her fingertips.

"Did you find it hard to sleep without me, Gabriel?" she wondered silently, her lips curling into a faint smile.

His musky scent surrounded her, making her feel inexplicably safe and warm. She closed her eyes again, just for a moment, letting herself enjoy the peace.

Amelie quietly moved out of the bed and went to the washroom.

When she returned, wrapped in a robe with her hair bundled in a towel, her gaze immediately found him. Gabriel was now awake, sitting while his head resting against the headboard. His eyes were on his phone as he typed something quickly.

"Good morning," Amelie greeted softly.

Gabriel looked up, and the second their eyes met, the heaviness in his expression melted away.

"When did you come into my room?" she asked, walking over to the cupboard and opening it. "Did you have trouble sleeping?"

Gabriel silently rose from the bed and moved to stand behind her. He reached into the closet, pulling out a top and holding it out to her. "Wear this one," he said. "You’ve been hiding behind turtlenecks lately. Try something different."

Amelie turned slightly and smiled, taking the top from his hand. She picked out a pair of trousers to go with it and gently shut the cupboard. "You should head back to your room," she said gently.

But instead of responding, Gabriel leaned forward and sealed her lips with a tender kiss.

"There are only four days left until our wedding," he murmured against her lips. "I saw the venue. You picked the same one I had chosen."

"I liked it," Amelie replied softly. "That’s why I went with it."

"Okay," Gabriel said, his voice low and steady. "Do you want to leave for the honeymoon right after the wedding, or would you prefer to wait a bit?"

He looked at her, gauging her reaction as he continued, "Honestly, I think we should go somewhere far from here. Just for a while. Somewhere peaceful, away from all this noise."

He stepped a little closer. "I already have a few places in mind, but if there’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, just tell me. We’ll go wherever you want, Amelie."

"Umm... I’ve not thought anything related to our honeymoon," Amelie truthfully told him.

"Then, you can choose a place and tell me," Gabriel said.

’Should I tell Gabriel about last night? Prince Casaio seemed... broken and hurt for some reason. But would it be right? What if he gets angry?’ she thought and quietly sipped her soup.
