Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550: Failing her mission

"You can’t even kill an ant!" Gabriel mocked her lightly as he stepped out of the bedroom, his hair damp and his clothes changed for fresh ones. "Don’t even dare to come near Ophelia. You’d better stay away from all this," he warned her, his tone becoming serious when mentioning the dangerous witch.

"Brother, why do you have to make fun of my strength like this?" Katelyn murmured, frowning at him.

"I showed you the reality," Gabriel answered dismissively.

"Gabriel! Sage proposed to Kate. They both love each other," Amelie quickly shared the good news with him, injecting joy into the tense atmosphere.

"Great. Finally, you made a decision," Gabriel remarked to his sister.

"It seems you still think I’m not good enough at my decisions. Why don’t you speak highly of me, Brother? I’m your only sister," Katelyn argued, pouting her lips defensively.

"Amelie, you should freshen up," Gabriel said, steering the conversation away from his sister’s hurt feelings.

"You two should continue talking," Amelie said, passing a reassuring smile to Katelyn before walking into the washroom.

"Are you truly sure about your feelings?" Gabriel then asked his sister, his gaze softening.

"Yes, I am. I was wrong about Sage all this time," Katelyn affirmed. She then dropped a bombshell of new information. "Also, the truth about his mother is out. His stepmother killed her. But what’s shocking is that his mother did have an affair with another man. Sage was heartbroken upon learning the truth. And he’s a half-brother too."

Gabriel was shocked to know such details about the turmoil in Sage’s life. "It seems a lot happened in such a short time," he mused.

"Yes. Even you and Amelie saw the sufferings from your past life. Her face said it all," Katelyn muttered. She studied Gabriel’s face for a moment, but as usual, she couldn’t read that expression on his face.

"It was difficult to live without her," Gabriel admitted.

That expression... Katelyn was shocked seeing that. The vulnerability and pain in her brother’s voice seemed like suffered unimaginably.

"So, did you find the solution for it? Now, grandma is gone, how are you two going to fight Ophelia?" Katelyn asked.

"I haven’t thought yet. When are you heading back to San Ravendale?" asked Gabriel.

"Tomorrow," Katelyn answered.

"Alright. You can go now," Gabriel told her.

Katelyn realized that her brother didn’t wish to share anything more with her, and respecting his decision, she walked out of the chamber.

"Of course they will. They need a breeder," Dominick affirmed coldly, repeating the horrifying context of the attack. He then pivoted, challenging her true motives. "Also, if this was truly your undercover operation, then why did you rebel there? Shouldn’t you have gone along with what they wanted to gather information?"

"Your Highness, it could have been dangerous for me," Jeniva confessed, the facade slipping away. "I didn’t know the Alpha I was sold to. They were all shady, and I didn’t know what worse could happen to me behind closed doors. The Sentinel Command in the capital is definitely going to punish me for failing the mission, but I need to think about myself, too. My personal safety had to come first."

Dominick was visibly impressed by her honesty and her self-preservation instinct.

"You will stay away from this now. I will investigate. That is the main reason I have come here," Dominick asserted, deciding to take charge.

"Your Highness, hire me as your assistant then," Jeniva stated, her eyes sparkling with determination. "I am good at judo and taekwondo. I may be an Omega, but I can be a useful one." Jeniva saw this as a chance to mitigate the severe punishment she would likely receive from the Sentinel Command head for failing her mission once this operation was over.

"I have my Beta with me, Evan," Dominick replied, lowering himself onto the chair beside her bed.

"You can’t burden your Beta with every single piece of work. You can divide the work between us," Jeniva stated, using her most persuasive puppy-dog eyes. ’Please, agree to this. Please, Prince Dominick,’ she pleaded internally.

"Go back to the capital once you recover fully. Seeing how you run your mouth and move your limbs, I think an early discharge is better for you," Dominick opined.

"I won’t go to the capital. I will stick by His Highness’ side," Jeniva pronounced with an adamant gaze.
