Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: I don’t regret it

"I can’t be with Aisha," Karmen admitted, the words barely a whisper.

Carlos lifted his head from his book, his brow furrowing. "Why?"

"I don’t pursue connections like that because of the inevitable pain they bring," Karmen explained, avoiding Carlos’s gaze. "And I have to believe the future isn’t fixed; that things can change."

Carlos gave a slow nod. "My visions, Karmen, are never wrong."

Karmen offered no reply.

"Did she... reject you?" Carlos pressed, his voice softened with a hint of compassion.

"Well, it’s a bit more complicated than a simple ’no,’" Karmen replied, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

"You know you can confide anything in me," Carlos assured him. "I’m here to listen."

"I liked her for a reason even I’m unaware of," Karmen continued, reflecting on the woman he nearly married. "Aisha had a lover; they married right after we finished college. Then, recently, her parents set up a meeting with me."

He sighed. "My mother wants me to get settled since many of my age have their mates by now, some even have kids. So, she was a bit worried for me. I didn’t know I’d ever meet Aisha again in this life. But thankfully, the arrangement between us ended quickly."

Carlos curiously gazed at him. "Did she get separated from her mate?"

"Yes. He’s dead," Karmen replied, his tone subdued.

"Oh. That’s why her parents set up a date," Carlos murmured, finally understanding the context of the arranged meeting.

"They were going to get us engaged. I’m happy it didn’t happen," Karmen stated firmly.

Carlos looked at him in confusion, finding the final statement contradictory to the earlier vision of regret. Did he see something wrong regarding Karmen?

He took a deep breath and continued, clarifying his happiness that the engagement failed. "For a wolf, one mate is their lifelong partner. Aisha feels the same way; she refused to consider getting mated with another man, which I respect."

He looked away toward the garden. "You don’t always get everything in life, especially what you desire most. At least, that’s what I’ve known and seen."

"Hmm. That’s a deep statement," Carlos answered, thoughtfully petting Noah. "Have you let go of her completely, Karmen?"
