Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 30: You aren’t a bad kisser

"Alex, I was so worried for you. Where have you gone? And what kind of work did you get suddenly?" Flora asked, cupping Alex’s face.

"Some pack-related work. I’m new to this position of the Alpha of my pack," Alex told her, hoping she would not ask more questions.

Flora then lowered her hands before placing her handbag on the recliner.

"Yeah, you are right. Why did you suddenly stop the search for Amelie? My parents do want their eldest daughter back," Flora said cleverly. The truth was, no one in the Conley family wanted Amelie’s return.

"Did we not already discuss this matter?" Alex asked with a frown.

"I didn’t get it, Alex. Why did you suddenly stop the search? It seems you are scared of something. Or are you hiding Amelie from me to protect your pup, which is growing in her womb?" Flora turned on her heels, meeting Alex’s sharp, golden gaze.

"Leave!" Alex said, pointing toward the door. "I have nothing remaining to talk to you about. You don’t even trust me. I chose you as my Luna. Yet, all you think about is Amelie. If you keep doing this, I am afraid I will not hesitate to punish you," he pronounced with a stern gaze.

Flora gulped hard and lowered her eyes. "I’m sorry, Alex. I didn’t mean to hurt you," she apologized humbly. "I am just worried thinking about what made you stop it all of a sudden."

"Amelie is a runaway wolf from this pack. So, I find there’s no need to waste my efforts over her. I want everyone in the pack to forget her. She was my fated mate, no doubt, but an omega can never be the mother of my pups. You are my soon-to-be Luna, Flora. Keep that in mind," Alex said and held her hands.

Flora felt a deep assurance hearing his words. ’Alex would never betray me. I was a fool to doubt him,’ she thought.

"Does your family really want Amelie back? Your father is in the pack meeting too. He was apologizing on Amelie’s behalf and told me not to take her into the pack even if she returned," Alex asserted.

"Oh, Dad did say that?" Flora pretended she didn’t know about this. "Last night he and Mom looked worried. That’s why I said that. But don’t mind it anymore. For me, you are the only one who matters," she stated with a smile and hugged him.

Amelie got the hiccups as if someone was talking about her. She drank another glass of water while caressing her chest. As she rested the glass on the table, she got flustered upon sensing Gabriel’s presence.

"What are you doing?" she asked, tilting her head.

Gabriel tenderly moved her hair to the front. She blinked in confusion, but he didn’t answer her.

She felt a shiver run down her spine upon feeling the brush of the pad of his fingers on her nape. Her breath caught in her throat, making her wonder what he was doing.

She fidgeted with her fingers nervously and realized even her hiccups were gone.

Gabriel’s violet eyes darted at that mark as he tried to find the kind of spell used on it to bind it. Though he had asked Louis to find out about the mark, finding a witch could be a tedious task, which could even take months to years.

Finally, he took a step back, bringing the hair to her back.

Amelie turned to look at him. "What was that?" she demanded an answer.

"Nothing," Gabriel replied. "You aren’t a bad kisser," he suddenly said.

"What?" Amelie was flustered to hear him. She recalled how she almost lost herself in that. But it was her who initiated it.

The back of Gabriel’s palm caressed Amelie’s cheek. "You are blushing," he whispered. She thought he would kiss her as his face inched closer, but he moved to her ear. "Good night, Amelie," he whispered before taking a step back and leaving her sight.

Amelie felt how her heart started beating rapidly. "He is doing something to me. How can I feel attracted to someone else so soon?" she murmured and shook her head.

As she walked to the door to close it from inside, she heard a few whispers from the corridor.

Amelie stepped out and followed the whispers. She saw Gabriel and Karmen standing together.

"The body had turned pale blue. I think it was a poison, Gabriel," Karmen told him. "A slow poison, which showed its effect late," he opined.

"You mean to say after two days of the spy’s death, the poison showed its effect!?" Gabriel mused.

"That’s just an assumption," Karmen replied.

"It’s a spell," Gabriel stated. "Well, I’m exhausted. Let’s retire for the night," he said and turned around. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Amelie got scared of being spotted and hid behind the pillar. ’Why am I hiding?’ she thought.

She turned around to go straight to her room when Gabriel blocked her path.

"Do you want to sleep together?" he asked. "You aren’t unable to sleep alone, right? We can sleep on my bed. It’s quite big and we can fit well in it," he said, smirking.

"No, I don’t want to," Amelie said and took a step left, but Gabriel took a step in the same direction. Her face bumped against his chest, flustering her.

"What did you hear?" Gabriel asked, forcing her to look up as he held her chin.

"Am I not supposed to hear that?" Amelie arched her eyebrows.

"Yes," Gabriel replied. "Don’t tell about it to anyone."

"I don’t do gossips," Amelie replied.

"I know. But I love to warn people," Gabriel stated with a smirk. "Sleep tight. If I find you outside your room, then you won’t sleep alone ever. You’ll find me beside you every night," he pronounced, thus letting go of her chin.

As he brushed past her, Gabriel said, "Your heart beats react differently around me. I suppose it’s because I affect you, Amelie." Before she could respond to him by turning around, she found he had already disappeared from her sight.
