Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627: Live with Amelie and me

"Your Highness, you cannot walk in there," Cynthia’s voice rang out.

Gabriel and Noah both tilted their heads toward her in unison. He glanced around, noticing that Karmen and Carlos were nowhere to be seen, likely distracted by the grandeur of the outer hall. Seizing the rare moment of privacy, Gabriel searched her eyes.

"Do you truly not know me?" he asked, his voice dropping to a low tone.

Cynthia looked at him for a long second before she slipped off her mask of the caretaker. "I do," she replied softly. "I am a mortal now. A punishment bestowed upon me by the heavens for my interference. But it is fine. Forgive me for acting as though I didn’t recognize you. I didn’t want to draw attention from your guards."

Noah began reaching out, his small hands grasping at the air as he leaned toward Cynthia, clearly sensing the familiar divinity she once carried. He whimpered softly, wanting to be held by her.

"That is the price you paid on my behalf," Gabriel stated, his heart heavy knowing her sacrifice.

"I had to," Cynthia said, a sad but peaceful smile touching her lips. "You suffered through two lifetimes because of my choices. This is simply the balance being restored."

"Heavens have strange way to punish good people not the bad ones. Did they not see how..."

"Gabriel, it’s the temple. Don’t be angry," Cynthia told him.

He was angry toward the every God who made such a wrong decision.

"So, you will serve in this temple from now on? Is this your life?" Gabriel asked, needing to confirm she was safe.

"Mmm. It is better here. Quiet. Sacred," Cynthia replied.

"What about a home? Where do you live, and do you have enough to sustain yourself? Just tell me what you need. I will—" He was abruptly cut off as Cynthia raised a hand, interrupting him.

"Do not burden yourself further, Gabriel," she said firmly. "I have what I need. The heavens took my power, but they did not take my dignity. You are a Prince, and I am a servant of the temple. Let that be the end of it for the sake of your own peace."

"No. I couldn’t do anything for you in my last lifetime," Gabriel said, his voice thick with a resolve that had been years in the making.

Noah looked up at his father’s face, sensing the sudden shift in his mood. Sensing Gabriel’s distress, the pup pouted his tiny lips and pressed his face firmly against his father’s chest, trying to offer what little comfort he could.

"Let me do everything for you in this lifetime," Gabriel pronounced. "Don’t stop me. I will only be at peace if I know you are in comfort. And can I tell Amelie about this? She has wanted to meet you for so long."

Cynthia smiled, her expression softening as she looked at the man he had become. "You can. There is nothing to fear anymore; the heavens have already taken their due. You can tell anyone you wish, though I still feel some secrets are better left buried in the past."
