Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610: The Moon Goddess herself

When Amelie finally returned to the chamber with her parents, Gabriel didn’t wait for her to cross the distance between them. He lunged forward, gathering her into an embrace that nearly lifted her off the floor. "Amelie!" he breathed, his hand resting possessively against the back of her head as if anchoring her to him.

When he finally pulled back, he didn’t let go. His hands cupped her face, his thumbs tracing her cheekbones with frantic care. "Are you in pain? Do you feel any discomfort at all? That attack was quite strong," he said with the remnants of his fear.

Amelie shook her head, offering him a small, reassuring smile. "I don’t feel any pain, Gabriel. I managed to bring the sword up just in time; I think the blade absorbed the dark energy Ophelia intended for me," she explained. "And you caught me. I felt you right behind me, like a shield, before everything went dark."

"Now, it is time for both of you to rest," Mabel intervened, stepping into the room with Raidan. They had returned now that Dominick was stable, leaving Casaio and Zilia to keep watch at the hospital.

"Yes. Thank you, everyone, for tonight," Gabriel pronounced, turning to address the family gathered in the chamber with a formal nod of gratitude.

Once the room cleared and Gabriel had gently insisted that Ashna go get some sleep as well, the heavy doors finally closed. At last, they were alone. Amelie went straight to the crib, her heart easing as she saw Noah sleeping peacefully. She rocked the cradle gently before turning back to Gabriel.

He didn’t give her a chance to speak. He moved like a shadow, pulling her into a fierce, deep kiss. His arms wrapped around her lower back, drawing her so flush against him that not even a breath of air could pass between them. Amelie’s hands flew to his neck, her fingers tangling in his hair as she returned the kiss with equal fervor. The taste of victory was sweet, but the taste of being alive and together was even better.

Eventually, they slowed, their foreheads resting against one another as their breathing hitched. Amelie’s hand moved to his cheek, her thumb brushing over his skin. "We are together. Finally," she whispered. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Yes," he rumbled. Without warning, he swept her up into his arms, making her gasp in surprise, and carried her to the bed. He laid her down on the soft mattress with tenderness, kneeling to remove her slip-ons and socks before discarding his own boots and heavy coat.

He slid beneath the warm duvet, pulling her into the curve of his body.

"You did an incredible job tonight," Amelie murmured, her eyes shimmering with admiration as she looked at him. "Carlos told me the plan almost fractured, but you didn’t let her escape. You struck exactly when you needed to and saved everyone. You’re our hero, Gabriel."

"Well, we all did this job, not just me," Gabriel said, kissing her forehead again.

Zilia kept her forehead rested against Casaio’s shoulder. They were huddled together on the small couch in the wardroom, just a few feet away from where Dominick lay under quiet observation.
