Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Going more insane than you

In the evening, Zander visited Flora in the guest room. She looked empty, her eyes swollen and bloodshot from hours of crying. She sat huddled in the center of the bed, looking small and fragile amidst the warm duvet.

"Hey, why are you like this?" Zander asked softly, taking a seat at the edge of the mattress. He waited for her to look at him, but she remained motionless, staring at nothing.

"Flora, say something."

She simply shook her head, her voice a mere ghost of a sound. "I want to be alone," she murmured.

Zander studied her for a moment, seeing the sheer exhaustion in her posture. Recognizing that Alex had completely shattered her peace of mind, he decided that giving her space was the only kindness he could offer. He stepped out of the room, recalling the threats Alex had given to Flora.

He walked down the long corridor until he reached the living room. He found the group gathered in a grim semi-circle, seated on the couch. After greeting Casaio and Gabriel, he stepped into the center of the room.

"Is Alex caught yet?" Zander asked in a sharp tone. When no one answered immediately, he continued, "I think we need to stop reacting and start acting. We have to give him bait to draw him out of hiding."

"Now that his face is plastered across every screen in the country, he’s too smart to take a simple bait," Gabriel stated with a dangerous rumble.

"We can’t just sit here and do nothing, Prince Gabriel! Alex is out there right now scheming against us," Zander argued, his frustration boiling over. "He’s terrified Flora to the point that she’s unable to even speak. Why does it look like you’re too scared to make a move?"

The comment acted like a spark in a powder keg. In a swift motion, Gabriel lunged, his hand snapping out to bunch the fabric of Zander’s collar. He yanked the younger man forward until they were inches apart.

"I am going more insane than you could ever imagine," Gabriel hissed, his voice vibrating with a predatory edge. "Despite every resource at my disposal, he hasn’t been caught. So do not lecture me on concern when your feelings are nothing compared to the reality of this situation!"

As his anger flared, the deep violet shade of his eyes intensified, glowing with an Alpha’s fury that made Zander flinch instinctively.

"Gabriel, let him go," Casaio advised calmly, though his posture remained alert. "He is merely worried for the woman he loves. This infighting is exactly what Alex wants."

Gabriel let go of him and ran fingers through his hair before disappearing from their sights.

"Where did he go?" Karmen muttered in worry.

"Only the god knows," Casaio replied.

Gabriel stepped into his private chambers, initially intending to head toward his mother’s quarters to find Amelie. However, before he could turn back to the hall, the familiar scent of his mate reached him from the inner room. He didn’t waste a second and pushed open the door.

He found Amelie sitting on the expansive bed, softly singing a lullaby. Beneath her gentle gaze, Noah was kicking his legs and swinging his tiny arms in the air, seemingly mesmerized by her voice.

Amelie slid off the bed and hurried toward Gabriel, her movements fueled by the day’s pent-up anxiety. She threw her arms around his neck, and he caught her instantly, pulling her into a fierce embrace. Her feet practically lifted off the floor as he held her against his chest, anchoring her to him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
