Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 63: Give me a smile, kitten

Amelie slowed her steps as she reached the east wing of the mansion. The wolf was being taken away and was covered with a white cloth already.

She looked at Gabriel and Karmen, who were conversing in almost whispers, which were tough to hear.

"Miss, you are here! I’ve been searching for you," said Collie, one of the housemaids.

"Huh? Why?" Amelie asked, blinking in confusion.

"There was a phone call from your home," Collie informed her, slightly out of breath. "The caller said she’s your mother... she wants to speak with you."

Amelie froze to learn that. Her mother called her!? How? They didn’t know the number of this place or perhaps, her father used his resources. ’I don’t want to talk to her. Did Dad tell her everything, and now, she wants to put the entire blame on me?’ she thought.

"Let’s go," Amelie said and walked with Collie to the living room of the mansion. Upon arriving there, she saw Albus had been holding the landline phone and passed a small smile to her.

At first, Amelie hesitated to take the phone from him. But eventually, she did and brought it to her ear.

"Hello," Amelie finally spoke.

"Amelie, it’s me. Your mother!" Samyra’s concerned voice came from the other side.

"Why are you calling me? And how did you get this number?" Amelie asked in an indifferent tone. She glanced around and noticed the living room had emptied; all the servants had quietly disappeared, giving her the privacy she didn’t ask for but perhaps needed.

"Your father found it. But that’s not important. What matters is your father and I are coming to you. I found out everything. I’m sorry you had to go through this, Amelie. We... we even spoke with Alex’s parents. Flora..." Her voice broke quivered with guilt. "She did so wrong. I should’ve known something wasn’t right."

Amelie couldn’t believe those words. The first day when she was here, she called at her home and heard the painful words of her parents. They didn’t trust her. And now, they wanted to see her because the truth was out in a way no one anticipated.

"Why are you acting like you do care for me?" Amelie questioned, not blinking.

"What do you mean? I’m your mother," Samyra said from the other side.

Amelie chuckled to hear that word. "You never acted like one when I was in the Red River Pack."

"I am guilty about that. I acted..."

"I don’t want to hear anything from you. It’s over. You chose to believe Alex when my disappearance news was spread throughout the pack. You and your husband, both of you, were ashamed because of me. You both believed his lies. There’s nothing left between us. Don’t even come here. That’s my last request from you both."

Amelie hung up the call and her breathing turned ragged. Her eyes brimmed with tears as a tear rolled over her cheek. "She always hated me," Amelie murmured. She wiped the tears from her eyes before anyone would notice her.

Bringing her trembling hand to her chest, Amelie felt a sudden wave of nausea. Her stomach churned, and without another thought, she rushed upstairs. The moment she reached the bathroom, she leaned over the sink and vomited. Her body shuddered as she rinsed her mouth.

"Why do I suddenly feel so sick?" she mumbled to herself, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

Still feeling uneasy, she returned to the bedroom and sat down on the mattress. After talking to her mother, her mood had ruined.

Reaching for her phone on the nightstand, she noticed two missed calls from Skye. She tapped the number and brought the phone to her ear, waiting for her to pick up.

"Hello. Sorry, I wasn’t in the room," Amelie said quickly once the call connected.

"It’s alright. How are you doing?" Skye responded.

"I’m fine... just feeling a little nauseated," Amelie admitted.

"Oh," Skye paused for a moment. "You’ve got the symptoms of morning sickness too. Don’t worry, it’s a common sign in early pregnancy. Come to the hospital tomorrow, alright?"

"Ah, okay," Amelie replied.

"We will do your ultrasound and see the growth of the pup. According to Gabriel, the growth is faster, which is understandable," Skye said.

Amelie’s heart pounded in a joy that was hard to explain upon learning that she could see her pup. The life inside her.

"Sure." A smile formed on Amelie’s lips.

"Goodbye. See you tomorrow," Skye said and the call disconnected.

Amelie let the phone rest on the mattress and her hand rested on her lower stomach. Then, suddenly her thoughts went to the dead wolf that was found in east wing.

"I hope nothing bad will happen," Amelie murmured. She heard a knock on the door and lifted her head.

"Gabriel," Amelie whispered his name.

"You were in the east wing," Gabriel said, shutting the door behind him.

"Ah, yes. Who was that wolf? Is it something serious?" Amelie inquired.

"Investigation is going on. Don’t stress about it," Gabriel said, walking to her. "How did your call go with your mother?"

"Not well. How easy it was for her to say that she wanted to see me? I know both my parents had never believed me, if you weren’t by my side," Amelie said, fidgeting with her fingers. "I told her not to even think about coming here. They crushed the belief I had on them once," she murmured.

"You did right," Gabriel said, his hand rested over her head as she gently caressed it. "Now, give me a smile, kitten," he affectionately demanded.

Amelie ended up smiling.

"Katelyn has arrived, by the way," Gabriel informed her, feeling happy to see her smile.

"Really? When?" Amelie asked, looking into his violet eyes with excitement.

"Just a while ago. She’s in a guest room downstairs. For you, I even let my sibling stay in the mansion. That’s how much you mean to me, Amelie, more than you can possibly imagine."
