Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794: Zilia has traveled all the way

"Don’t say sorry. You weren’t at fault," Dominick said, his voice dropping to a gentle murmur as he cupped her face. "I didn’t handle things well."

He stepped back slightly, realizing they were standing on the small balcony of her room.

"Something happened at the botanical garden today. The security forced us to leave so suddenly," Jeniva said, her brow furrowed. "I even called the local sentinel station afterward. I wonder what the situation is now. Something big must have been happening, right? For them to evacuate the entire place and call it an emergency..."

She looked up at him, her gaze clouded with confusion and lingering traces of the day’s stress.

Dominick felt a tightening in his chest. He looked into her eyes, seeing the innocence he was so desperate to protect. If he told her the truth, that a killer had been inches away from taking her life, she would be even more worried.

"Maybe some security precaution," Dominick lied smoothly, his thumbs brushing over her cheekbones.

"Sis, who are you talking to?" Elina’s voice drifted from the room. She stepped toward the balcony door, stopping short when she found Dominick standing there.

"Prince..." she paused, her eyes widening. "Your Highness!" She bowed her head immediately.

Jeniva took a careful step away from Dominick, her gaze shifting to her sister.

"You need not bow to me," Dominick told her. Elina lifted her head, her eyes moving between the Prince and her sister.

"I am heading out to meet my friend," Elina told Jeniva, gesturing toward her bag.

"Don’t go now," Dominick intervened. The sisters exchanged a confused look.

"Why?" Jeniva inquired. She was starting to piece things together—the way he had rushed to her house instead of letting her come to the palace, and the urgency in his eyes. He didn’t want her to leave the safety of these walls.

"But I haven’t seen him for months," Elina whispered, looking disappointed.

"Umm..." Dominick hesitated, feeling stuck between his desire to protect her and his promise to be honest. "It is risky to go out. Your sister was being targeted by a hunter earlier," he asserted. He had thought hiding the truth would be easier, but the danger was too immediate to keep them in the dark.

"What?" both Elina and Jeniva exclaimed in shock.

"Elina, we would like to have some privacy," Dominick urged, his tone brooking no argument.

The younger sister nodded quickly and retreated into the house, leaving the two of them alone.

"So, in the garden, it was a hunter? You were there, then why didn’t you tell me?" Jeniva asked, her gaze clouded with confusion and a trace of hurt.

"Everything happened so fast," Dominick reasoned, his hands tightening slightly at his sides. "And I didn’t know I’d be coming here afterward. I knew I had upset you earlier, and I thought I could handle the situation without making you worry."

Jeniva looked toward the door where her sister had disappeared. "Don’t tell my sister that I work as a spy," she stated firmly in a low whisper.
