Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648: Share a secret route

Flora stood by the window. She remained in the dark, the gloom of the room matching the hollow feeling in her chest, until a soft knock broke the silence.

She stiffened, realizing the presence outside wasn’t Zander or any of the wolves.

"Flora, are you awake? It’s Carlos. Can we speak for a moment?"

She hesitated, then finally reached for the switch. The sudden amber glow of the lamps made her squint as she opened the door. Carlos stood there, with a calm expression, holding a small wooden tray.

"I brought coffee for you," Carlos said in a humble tone.

Flora stepped back to let him in. He placed the tray on the coffee table. He didn’t push her to talk immediately; instead, he looked at her with a depth of understanding. He knew what he had seen in her future, and that secret made him careful to speak.

"You look like you haven’t slept in a lifetime," he remarked softly, gesturing toward the mug. "Drink. It helps ground the mind when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control."

Flora lowered herself into the chair by the coffee table and shook her head. "I don’t want to," she murmured, her gaze fixed on the floor.

Carlos studied her face in the soft lamplight. He could see the cracks in her composure, the way the trauma had stripped away the confident facade she had worked so hard to build.

"Flora, I know you haven’t been a good person in the past," he began, his voice devoid of judgment. "Alex must have said something to you, something that targeted your guilt and shattered your mental peace. The strength you built over these months seems to have vanished, but remember: the goodwill currently in your heart cannot be destroyed."

He leaned in slightly to speak further, "That is why you didn’t take a single step to help him, even when he threatened you. You chose your family over your fear. That is a victory, even if it doesn’t feel like one right now."

Flora continued to fiddle with her fingers, her knuckles turning white. "He said I wanted Amelie dead," she murmured, a stray tear finally escaping and tracking down her pale cheek. "I regret everything I did back then, Carlos. I—I want to help Amelie and put an end to Alex. I haven’t been the sister she deserved, but I want to be that person now. I should meet Alex. I should be the one to lure him into a trap."

"I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you won’t be involved in any of this," Carlos stated firmly. He couldn’t help but think of the void he had seen in her future; allowing her to act as bait felt like hand-delivering her to the grave.

"But so far, Alex hasn’t been caught," Flora argued, her voice rising with a frantic edge of worry. "What if he finds another way to get close to Amelie and Noah? If I can end this nightmare by facing him one last time, isn’t it worth it?"

"You can’t ignore me, Flora. You chose to betray me and now, I will make sure, Amelie’s lifeless body lays before you. You better answer my call."

Alex’s dark chuckle sent a shiver down her spine. "You think those palace walls are impenetrable, Flora? You think your royal ’protectors’ are infallible? It’s not that tough to enter the palace when you have the right map. You remember Ophelia, don’t you? Before she met her end, she was kind enough to share a secret route, one the current King doesn’t even have on his blueprints." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
