Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748: I’ll miss your presence

"Your Highness, your luggage has been packed," Kavin said respectfully, lowering his head in a small bow.

Dominick stood on the wide balcony overlooking the vast garden below. The evening breeze moved gently through the air.

For a moment, he remained silent, recalling how the city of Gridlock had once been plagued by disorder and corruption.

"I may not return here for a long time," Dominick said thoughtfully. "The administration has stabilized now."

He rested one hand on the railing as he continued.

"The mayor appointed here was chosen by the Alpha King himself. Because of that, governance has improved considerably."

His gaze remained fixed on the Alpha Prince.

"The people are far happier now than they were in the past."

Standing a few steps behind him, Evan nodded.

"That’s true, Your Highness," he said. "Even the pack networks here have become more organized and efficient."

Dominick turned around to face them.

"Yes," he acknowledged. Then he asked, "Have the travel arrangements been made?"

Evan stepped forward slightly. "We will follow the royal protocol," he explained. "The private jet is ready to be used. The weather conditions are much better now, so the flight will be smooth."

"Good," Dominick said after hearing Evan’s explanation. "You both may leave now."

Evan and Kavin bowed respectfully before turning and walking out of the room, leaving him alone on the balcony.

For a moment, Dominick remained still, looking out at the city below.

’I felt peace in Gridlock.’

The past few weeks there had been calmer than he had expected. Away from the constant pressure of the capital, things had felt... lighter.

But he knew that peace couldn’t last forever.

’The longer I stay here, the longer I remain away from my real responsibilities. Cas is about to become the father of three. He’ll need to give all his attention to Zilia for now. I have to make sure he doesn’t feel burdened by the work.’

Just then, Jeniva’s pheromones enveloped the air around him. Dominick turned toward the balcony door.

Jeniva stood there.

"Your Highness," she said as she stepped inside, "I’ve packed my luggage as well."

She walked a little closer before continuing.

"AJ was airlifted to the capital earlier this morning. Although he has recovered, the wound hasn’t fully healed yet."

"Evan informed me," Dominick replied calmly.

He leaned lightly against the balcony railing. "You’ll receive your honor soon," he added. "After that, you should take some time to rest."

Jeniva nodded. Then she walked a little closer to him.

"Will you come to see me in the capital?" she asked.

Dominick’s gaze softened slightly.

"I was actually planning to ask for your address," he admitted. "If you allow me, I’d like to visit your place."

Jeniva hesitated. "The area where I live is very lively," she explained carefully. "People might see you there and—"

"—and start gossiping about us?" Dominick finished her sentence.

A faint smile touched his lips. "If that’s the concern, I’ll call you outside instead," he said reassuringly. "I won’t create problems for you."

Then he added calmly, "If you want, I can invite you to the palace instead."

’I thought we were sure,’ Dominick thought, a sharp pang of disappointment tightening his chest.

’Why isn’t he saying anything?’ Jeniva wondered, her heart sinking. ’I was hoping he’d tell me this is real, that he wants to take the next step.’

A faint smile appeared on her lips. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
