Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 27: Craved for a mate

In the evening, as decided Gabriel arrived in Moon Obsidian Hotel for the meeting with Ruben, which was related to the advanced medical technologist for werewolves.

After it was over, he and Amelie were the first to leave. But instead of going home, Gabriel decided to take Amelie somewhere else.

"Why did you send the driver home?" Amelie asked as they were the only ones in the car now.

"Because I don’t want a third person to stay between us. Let’s move to the front," Gabriel opined and exited the car from his side.

Amelie shook her head and stepped out before settling in the passenger’s seat.

Gabriel made sure she had worn the seat belt and drove her out of the hotel’s premises. "I am quite impressed with your work. I think I made the right decision to keep you as my secretary. Even Karmen wasn’t this good in the work," he spoke. He didn’t wish to keep silence during this journey.

Amelie simply smiled. "You need not to lie about that. Karmen is more experienced than me," she replied.

"I agree. However, you did an exceptional job on your first day," Gabriel stated.

Amelie turned her head and looked at him intently. "You don’t need to make me happy with a false praise. If you find any fault in my work, then you can scold me. I won’t mind."

"What should I do with you, Amelie?" Gabriel mused and gazed at her for a brief moment. His violet eyes made her gulp as she saw the admiration in them and something more, which she couldn’t read.

Amelie looked ahead, wondering where they were going.

"Did you make friends?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes! I met your gamma, Denzel Warner. He is such a nice guy. We even had lunch together. Denzel told me about a lot of things," Amelie began praising Denzel with an enthusiastic tone, but it made Gabriel jealous.

"Kitten, why don’t you stop praising him?" Gabriel’s voice carried a warning. Amelie felt the air turning tense and she turned quiet after apologizing to him.

’Isn’t he the one who asked me about making friends? And I didn’t even praise Denzel,’ Amelie thought.

"Why are you sulking now?" Gabriel remarked.

"I didn’t. You were..." Amelie suddenly raised her voice at him while glaring at him only to realize she couldn’t speak in such a way with Alpha Prince Gabriel. "Forgive me," she whispered and lowered her eyes.

Gabriel simply smiled in amusement and finally applied brakes to the car.

Amelie looked outside and saw they were in an isolated place, surrounded by the forest cover.

"Why are we here?" Amelie asked, gazing at Gabriel in confusion.

"I want to show you something," Gabriel replied and exited the car. Amelie, too, stepped out from her side and went to him.

"In the forest, what’s there to show?" Amelie questioned.

"Well, that’s a surprise," Gabriel said and grasped her hand gently. He led her way and together, they walked through the narrow pathway. Amelie quietly followed his steps only to stop after a certain distance.

Everything was dark and Amelie again asked, "Did you come for a run? I am afraid but I don’t possess a wolf. So, I can’t run–" her words abruptly ceased in her throat when Gabriel pressed his finger on her lips.

"Stay quiet," Gabriel’s deep voice not only resonated in her ears, but also the forest. His eyes shone, mesmerizing Amelie once again. He lowered his hand and looked up at the sky before checking the time on the watch.

"The moon will be visible soon," Gabriel murmured and kept his gaze fixed on the sky for a while.

Finally, after fifteen minutes of wait, the moon showed itself in the sky. The moment, its illuminance fell upon that area, the bioluminescent flowers bloomed under its glow, causing Amelie’s eyes to go widen.

"What’s this?" Amelie mumbled. She has never witnessed anything like this before.

"It’s a secret garden of San Ravendale. The full moon brightens this place," Gabriel told her.

"It’s... it’s magical!" Amelie pronounced. She walked ahead, her hand leaving his as she walked toward the blooms to touch them.

A smile formed on her lips when her fingers brushed over the various colors flowers, and even some bright pores filled the air.

Gabriel observed her from this distance before walking toward her. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Gabriel, it is such a heavenly place!" She said and turned to him. The entire garden was glowing under the moonlight and she even spotted the butterflies reaching those flowers.

"Did you like it?" Gabriel asked as he stopped right in front of her.

"Absolutely. I never saw anything like this before," Amelie replied.

"Give me your hands," Gabriel told her.

Amelie instantly placed her hands on his. He drew her close, his grip on her hands remained gentle.

"Amelie, you can ask any wish here and it will be granted," Gabriel whispered.

"Really? Did your wish grant too?" asked Amelie.

"Yes. My wishes got fulfilled," Gabriel replied.

"Then, I should too." Amelie shut her eyes and began praying to the Moon Goddess.

Meanwhile, Gabriel kept his eyes glued to her serene face. ’Though I never trusted you, Moon Goddess, after you didn’t grant me a mate for twelve years and believed you also despised me. However, I want to trust you this time. I want Amelie to be my mate. I want my connection to strengthen with her,’ he thought.

Amelie opened her eyes and met his gaze. "I am done. Did you ask too?" she curiously asked.

"Hmm. But I wonder if she would grant it this time," Gabriel murmured.

"Huh? But you said all your wishes were heard," Amelie replied.

"Except for one," Gabriel answered.

Amelie understood what he meant by that. "Maybe this time it will be granted. Keep faith," she told him.

Gabriel hummed and leaned down to kiss her when Amelie placed her palm between their mouths. "We can’t. Sorry," she whispered and took some steps away from him.
