Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662: Amelie, it’s about me

Amelie woke up late in the evening. What she had intended as a brief nap had turned into hours of sleep; the exhaustion of the previous day had claimed her body entirely. Shifting slightly, her eyes landed on Noah and Gabriel, still peacefully asleep. The sight of her son tucked against the man who protected them both made her heart flutter with a warmth she hadn’t known she was capable of feeling.

Moving quietly to avoid waking them, she slipped out of bed. She draped a thick shawl over her shoulders and stepped onto the palace balcony. The sky was covered with clouds, a bruise purple shade could be seen at the distant, near the horizon.

’Noah will never be like Alex. He is my son,’ she thought, clutching the railing until her knuckles turned white.

Alex’s venomous words continued to echo in her mind that she couldn’t silence. Though she had stood tall and pretended to be unbothered when he spat those insults at her, the truth was far more fragile. Her heart knew the depth of her fear. Even now, in the safety of the palace, the mere memory of his face made her hands tremble beneath the folds of her shawl.

"My lady," Ashna’s soft voice pulled Amelie back from the memories of Alex. Amelie turned her head, the wind whipping a few loose strands of hair across her face.

"Yes?"

"Carlos came to see you about an hour ago. Since you were resting, I told him I would inform you the moment you woke up," Ashna replied.

"I’ll see him now. If Gabriel wakes and asks for me, tell him I am with Carlos," Amelie instructed.

"Sure, my lady," Ashna murmured, bowing her head as Amelie brushed past her.

Amelie made her way through the quiet corridors to Carlos’s chamber. When she entered, she found him seated on a velvet sofa, his arms crossed tightly over his chest and his eyes pressed shut. He looked unusually tense.

"Carlos, are you sleeping?" Amelie asked, a small, weary smile playing on her lips.

His eyes shot open instantly. "No," Carlos replied, his voice slightly raspy. "I’ve been concentrating my thoughts, trying to piece together a puzzle that doesn’t want to be solved."

"A puzzle?" Amelie furrowed her brows in confusion, lowering herself onto the sofa opposite him. "Is it about Flora? The fact that she survived? Gabriel mentioned your vision didn’t become true."

"It isn’t about that, Amelie. And my vision wasn’t wrong," Carlos answered. "I simply presumed wrongly that her life would end. I’m sorry for the distress that caused."

"Oh." She watched him closely, noting how his eyes were blinking rapidly, a tell-tale sign of the restlessness vibrating through him. "What are you trying to solve then? What has you so unsettled?"

"I can’t answer you now. I have to go back," Carlos replied abruptly.

"What?" Amelie exclaimed, her heart skipping a beat in shock. She took a breath, steadying herself as she licked her dry bottom lip. "Okay. If that is your call, you must go. But this is so sudden." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
