Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709: You’re not alone anymore

Dominick closed his eyes at Jeniva’s soft request, a curious smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He waited not for long until she whispered for him to open them.

He obeyed, his gaze landing on a small box wrapped in exquisite, shimmering paper and tied with a perfectly looped bow.

"Your Christmas gift," Jeniva said with excitement.

Dominick carefully untied the ribbon, mindful of her effort, and peeled back the paper to reveal a heavy box. When he lifted the lid, he found a beautifully crafted, Christmas-inspired lamp.

It was a glass sphere, clear as crystal. At the flick of a small switch on the base, a soothing melody began to play, and a miniature world came to life. Tiny, glittering flakes of snow began to swirl inside the globe, falling gently over a cottage nestled in a forest of frosted pines.

The warm glow of the lamp illuminated the intricate details of the winter scene, casting a soft, amber light over Dominick’s face. For a moment, the Prince was silent, mesmerized by the simple, peaceful beauty of the gift.

"Did you not like it? I was honestly at a loss for what to give you," Jeniva admitted, her hand moving to the back of her head in a nervous habit. "I’ve never actually given a present to a man before, so the whole process was a bit difficult for me."

Dominick remained silent for a second longer, his gaze fixed on the miniature snow falling within the glass. Finally, he looked up, his eyes meeting hers with an intensity that made her breath hitch. She quickly lowered her hand to her lap, her fingers twisting together as she waited for his verdict.

"It is a beautifully thought-out gift, Jeniva. I truly like it," Dominick finally spoke, his voice low and sincere.

"Really?" she asked, seeking confirmation.

"Yes. It’s perfect," Dominick said, his hand reaching out to brush the side of the glowing sphere. "Whenever I look at this, it will remind me of this place, of this night." A warm, genuine smile spread across his lips, one that reached his eyes. "Thank you, Jeniva, for being with me tonight and don’t let me feel lonely."

"I’m happy you liked it. You can keep it on your bedside table and turn it on every night before you sleep," Jeniva suggested. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I will," Dominick promised. He carefully nestled the glass sphere back into its protective box. He paused then, watching her.

Jeniva had closed her eyes, her hands clasped tightly together in a silent prayer. The soft light of the restaurant caught the line of her throat, and for a moment, the Prince simply observed the peace on her face.

Dominick signaled the waiter, settling the bill with a discreet nod, before leading Jeniva out. As they reached the car, Jeniva instinctively reached for the handle, ready to retreat into the safety of the tinted windows. But Dominick caught the door before she could open it.
