Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: A mother could feel

Zilia glanced at the clock, then at Idris, who remained glued to the television screen.

"Idris, lunch is ready," she called out gently.

"I’m still full from breakfast," he replied without tearing his eyes away from the show.

She walked over and sat beside him on the couch. "You’ve been watching this since morning. Aren’t you tired?"

"Nope," Idris said, stretching his legs out. "I hardly ever get time to enjoy shows like this. Let me have this."

Zilia smiled softly, watching her brother. It felt good to see him this relaxed and carefree.

’Now that we’re back in the capital, it’s time to send Idris to the academy. I should start looking for a job too,’ Zilia thought. ’I wonder if Casaio will still expect me to keep pretending to be his mate. I honestly don’t want that anymore. But... what he said the day before yesterday wasn’t a lie. He’s still in love with me. I don’t want to ruin him because of my past.’

She was lost in her thoughts when Idris gently rested his head on her lap.

"Sis, I don’t know what you’re thinking," he murmured, "but I hope you’re not planning to run away again. I don’t think we should go anywhere else. This place feels safe... I like it here."

Zilia ran her fingers softly through his hair. "I’m not planning anything, don’t worry. Are you feeling sleepy?"

"Hmm," Idris yawned, setting the remote on the table before closing his eyes. "I’m just happy we’ll be living together. I don’t feel scared anymore."

Zilia smiled, continuing to stroke his hair gently, comforted by his presence and his words.

"Me too. We don’t have to live separately anymore," Zilia said, smiling.

"Amelie, how are you feeling these days?" Skye asked gently.

"Better," Amelie replied. "But... my legs ache suddenly sometimes."

Gabriel’s expression shifted to a concerned look. "Why didn’t you tell me?" he asked.

"It’s nothing serious," she said with a small smile. "I didn’t want to bother you."

Skye offered a reassuring nod. "The reports show everything is progressing well. You both heard the pup’s heartbeat earlier. They are strong and steady. The pup is growing just fine. Amelie may start feeling the pup’s kicks soon, perhaps by the start of next month."

"That soon?" Gabriel asked, his eyes lighting up slightly.

Skye smiled. "Yes. And in some cases, omegas give birth a little earlier than expected. I mentioned earlier too that Amelie may give birth sooner than we have expected. So we’ll keep a close watch, but there’s no cause for concern at the moment."

Gabriel reached for Amelie’s hand gently, silently vowing to be more attentive.
