Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 81: Give us a chance, Amelie
Chapter 81: Give us a chance, Amelie
"Why are they here?" Amelie murmured, lowering her gaze as she turned anxious.
Gabriel glanced toward the unexpected visitors and replied gently, "Your mother tried calling earlier. When she couldn’t reach you, I suppose she decided to come in person."
Amelie shook her head slowly in disbelief. "But I cut all ties with them... I made it clear. I don’t understand why they’d still show up."
"I can meet them on your behalf," Gabriel offered gently. "And let them know you don’t wish to see them, if that’s truly what you want."
Amelie was confused for a moment. But then she straightened herself with a determination flickering in her eyes. "No... I think I’ll see them."
Gabriel nodded. "If you’d prefer to speak privately, I can have a room prepared for the three of you. My siblings are here, and I suspect they might inform your parents if they overhear anything."
"That would be perfect," Amelie said, feeling grateful. "And... I’m sorry for causing such a scene. I didn’t mean for things to become so complicated."
Gabriel reached out, taking her hand reassuringly. "Don’t apologize," he said softly.
He led her down the hallway toward the living room. Samyra and David rose from the couch the moment they spotted Amelie walking in with Gabriel. As they came to a stop in front of them, Gabriel’s gaze briefly flicked to Albus.
"Your Highness, please accept our greetings," David said, bowing respectfully. Samyra followed his lead with a similar gesture.
But Gabriel remained expressionless, and didn’t respond them.
"Show them to the private room," he instructed.
Albus nodded and asked the three of them to follow him. Amelie let go of Gabriel’s hand and walked behind Albus, not talking with her parents.
Upon reaching a room, which was almost at the backside of the mansion, Albus asked them to have the conversation there. "I’ll send water and other refreshments," he said and left, shutting the door behind him.
Samyra hurriedly walked to Amelie to hug her. Embracing her, she caressed Amelie’s back, apologizing to her.
However, Amelie didn’t melt. She gently pushed her mother, taking a step back. "I think this formality shouldn’t be done anymore. I hope you both haven’t come here. I am not even related to you anymore," she asserted.
To say those things, Amelie had to harden her heart. She didn’t wish to hurt herself anymore as she used to in the past.
"Amelie, don’t say that. We understand how much we have hurt you, but it was never intentional," Samyra said, pleading her daughter to listen to her once.
"Never intentional?" Amelie chuckled. She was unable to believe that her mother was trying to say that the treatment she received was stemmed out of her inability to provide respect and fame to their name.
"You both always made me feel low because I am an omega wolf in the family of alphas. None of you ever wanted to know what I’ve been going through. I was smiling in front of both of you for the sake of a ’family bond’. And I shouldn’t even start about comparison, which you always made between me and Flora. What she did to me was despicable. And I heard you speaking a day later after I ran away. You were happy that your burden has gone forever. You both came to see me now because Prince Gabriel declared me as his mate. You don’t care whether I’m daughter or not. You know that now your family reputation will rise, that’s why you decided to meet me."
Amelie let out all of her thoughts, which had been buried in her heart for a long time. Unlike the former times, where she used to fear her parents would get hurt, she didn’t care about it anymore.
"Amelie, don’t say that. I admit I failed as a mother and always treated you badly, but I care for you. Have you forgotten the days when you get sick and I was beside you?" Samyra said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I have not forgotten that. I think that was the only reason why I always kept myself quiet. I was getting eaten inside. Alex spread a lie in the pack and all of you believed it. Yes, I got pregnant because of my naivity, but I don’t want to act fool anymore. I don’t want to tell myself false lies that my family wants me. I know everything about your hearts," Amelie said as tears poured down her cheeks.
"I heard on the call how Dad was barking, saying that I had always brought ruins to his reputation. The decision I made to break the ties with my family didn’t come easy. I wanted to speak my mother the next day I arrived here. However, when I heard her words along with Dad’s, I knew I wasn’t meant to be your daughter."
Samyra turned silent as she recalled how upset she was when she learned Amelie ran away. David had lowered his eyes too since he had no explanation to soothe Amelie.
"Since we are done talking, please leave," Amelie said.
"Give us a chance, Amelie. We are your parents. You can’t move away from us like that," David spoke this time. "I admit I did wrong. I always been a bad father to you. But it was out of frustrations... I expected too much for my damn reputation. I know I’ve made you feel wronged. I am sorry for that... From the bottom of my heart."
"But I don’t want to forgive any of you unless you declare in the public that Alex cheated on me. The woman she cheated with, was Flora, your precious second daughter. If you both say it in the pack, I will consider forgiving you. If you don’t have guts to say that, then you need to forget you have an elder daughter," Amelie pronounced.
"Amelie, Alex’s mother wants to see you. She’s willing to punish her son... She even met us yesterday," Samyra said, hoping Amelie would bend a little.
"Will Alex mother give him a death sentence? He tried to kill my pup," Amelie said, bringing her hand to her stomach. "If yes, then I can consider seeing her too. If not, then I don’t wish to waste my time on her either. I have a lot to do in my life rather than giving time to those who never understood my worth."
