Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665: Step an inch forward

"Kate, where had you disappeared to?" Amelie asked the moment she spotted her. She walked further into the chamber to find Katelyn sitting on the rug, distracted by Noah, while Gabriel was nowhere to be seen.

"Amelie!" Katelyn lifted her gaze, a radiant, slightly sheepish glow on her face. "I went to see Sage. I realized I could just teleport, so I thought... why stay away? I’m so in love with him that it’s becoming difficult to be apart for even a day." Her cheeks turned a soft shade of crimson as she blushed at her own confession.

Amelie settled onto the floor across from her, pulling Noah into her lap. The pup immediately began reaching for his mother’s pendant on the chain, his restless energy finally settling. "That’s good. You and Sage should spend as much time together as you possibly can," she affirmed, her voice full of genuine support.

"I heard Carlos went back. I thought he had no intention of going back," Katelyn said, leaning back on her hands as she watched Noah try to mimic her posture.

"He got some urgent work," Amelie replied, though her voice lacked its usual conviction.

"Oh." Katelyn tilted her head, noticing the way Amelie’s gaze drifted toward the floor. The vibrant energy she usually carried seemed muted. "What happened? Are you worried for Carlos?" she inquired softly.

"A little."

"You worry a lot, Amelie," Katelyn remarked. "Be like Noah! Look at him! Worry-free all the time, just thinking about his next nap or his next snack."

Amelie smiled at that, her heart lightening as she looked down at her son. Noah was currently preoccupied with the chain in Amelie’s neck.

"You’re right," Amelie admitted, kissing the top of Noah’s head. "I should focus on the present."

They both heard Gabriel’s deep voice before he even stepped into the drawing room, preceded by the stride of Karmen.

"Yeah, get everything ready in San Ravendale. Amelie and I will be arriving at the mansion right after Christmas. Also, make sure Noah’s room is well decorated with all the toys I asked for," Gabriel instructed Albus over the phone. He and Karmen both came to a halt when they saw Amelie and Katelyn sitting on the sofa with the pup.

Karmen offered a respectful greeting to both ladies while Gabriel hung up the call, a playful glint appearing in his eyes as he looked at his sister.

"Kate, I see you are using your teleportation well," Gabriel chuckled, though his tone held a note of brotherly caution. "Just don’t overuse it in a single month. You don’t want to burn through your strength as an Alpha before you’ve fully matured into the power."

"I only used it thrice, Brother," Katelyn countered, sticking her tongue out slightly. "Besides, I still use it far less than you do."

"I’m different. I’ve been doing it for years, and my core is accustomed to the strain. You’ve gained this ability not too long ago," Gabriel suggested. He walked closer to Amelie, his expression softening instantly as he reached down to ruffle Noah’s hair before resting a hand on Amelie’s shoulder.

"Go back to your chamber," Gabriel told Katelyn, his tone firm but fond.

She waved a final goodbye to Amelie and Noah before disappearing.

"Karmen, the weather is worsening. You should have been home by now," Amelie said, her brow furrowed with concern. "Don’t tell me Gabriel kept you late with more work."

"No, he didn’t," Karmen chuckled, laughing lightly as he shook his head. "I’ve been here for a few hours finishing up some of the Prince’s pending tasks before giving him the final reports. It was my choice to stay."
