Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: The Lantern of Memory (1)

Casaio tried to mindlink with Dominick again, but the connection failed, just as it had all day. His search had been relentless, and now night had fallen, shadows thickening across the land.

The phone in his pocket buzzed. He answered instantly.

"Gabriel, I’m still looking for Nick," Casaio said breathlessly. "I’ve checked every place he could possibly be, but he’s nowhere. It’s like he vanished."

"I’ve found him," Gabriel’s voice came through.

Casaio straightened. "Where? I’ll teleport."

"In the Cursed Forest," Gabriel replied. "Meet me at the entrance."

The line went dead. In the next second, Casaio appeared beside him.

"Why the hell would he go in there?" Casaio demanded. "Who told you this? Are you sure?"

Gabriel’s eyes stayed fixed on the dark treeline. "People saw him walk straight in," he said grimly. "And no one who goes past that line ever comes back the same or never..."

"I’ll go inside," Casaio said, already stepping forward toward the looming darkness of the forest.

Gabriel’s hand shot out, gripping his arm. "Stay where you are!" he barked at his brother’s indecisiveness. Honestly, his both brothers were the same. They knew nothing in tough times what they should exactly do. "We need to think first. I’ve already asked Karmen to speak with some of the elders, they might know how to deal with this."

"You should’ve asked Dad," Casaio said quickly.

"I did," Gabriel replied firmly. "But he doesn’t know either. He’s already consulting the council members as we speak." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Casaio exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair with dread expression. "By the time they find an answer, it’ll be too late," he muttered in desperation.

"Yes, but we can’t fall into danger ourselves. That’s why we have to wait," Gabriel answered.

"Your Highnesses, I am the beta of Prince Dominick. It’s my responsibility to keep him safe. Allow me to go in. I urge you," Evan said this time. He had made the same request earlier too, but Gabriel didn’t approve of it.

"Just stay calm," Gabriel said again. He had Carlos contact, but that fellow was already dealing with something heavy, so he didn’t wish to bother him.

"How long do we have to wait?" Evan asked. "It has been hours since Prince Dominick is inside," he reasoned.

"If anyone will go in, then that’s me. I am the one, who created this chaos," Casaio pronounced.

"Both of you should leave," Gabriel said sternly. "Can’t you two understand a simple thing?" He gritted his teeth when Gabriel’s phone buzzed.

He took out his phone from the pocket of his coat and saw Amelie’s name flashing on the screen.

"He mentioned something called ’the Lantern of Memory’," she replied. "According to him, it’s a small enchanted lantern that can reveal hidden paths and repel spirit-lures."
