Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Because the moon dicated

Zander stepped quietly into the room, the soft glow of the sunlight illuminating Flora as she rested. He moved to her side, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from her forehead. At his touch, Flora’s eyelids flickered, and she slowly looked up at him.

"Zander!" she whispered.

"Did I wake you?" he asked as he lowered himself to the edge of the bed.

"No. I wasn’t really sleeping," Flora replied, her gaze searching his. "You left earlier this morning... You didn’t say much to me."

Zander looked down at his hands with the weight of the hours he had spent waiting in the hall. "Your family was here, and everyone else was crowding the room. I felt you needed them more," he stated simply, though the pain of being apart from her was evident in his eyes. "I didn’t want to get in the way of your recovery."

Flora reached out a hand, her fingers brushing against his. "You were the one who brought me back. You’re never in the way." Propping on her elbows, she tried to sit when Zander helped her.

"Sorry, I didn’t tell you anything," Flora said.

"You could have died," Zander murmured, his voice cracking under the fear he’d been carrying. "You slipped into a coma, and for a moment, I felt you fighting to stay away. You refused to return... As if you don’t need me at all."

Flora looked up at him, her heart aching at the vulnerability in his eyes. "I’m so sorry, Zander. I wasn’t in my right mind," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I was drowning in my own fears. I truly believed that if I just left this world, everyone would finally be at peace. I thought everything would be better without me."

As she spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears, the salt stinging her damp eyelashes until they clumped together.

"Is that all I am to you? Someone who would be better off if you were gone?" Zander’s voice ached. He leaned closer, searching her face for any sign of the woman he loved. "Do you not care for me at all? Is there not even an ounce of affection for me in that heart of yours?"

"I do care," Flora confessed, the words catching in her parched throat. "I care so much it terrifies me. But I felt... I felt I wasn’t the right woman for a man like you. You deserve someone whole, someone untainted."
