"Kate, don’t judge him without knowing. Sometimes what we see isn’t the truth," Amelie advised her.
"I don’t judge everyone around me," Katelyn said.
"I agree, but for Sage, you’ve built some prejudices. Don’t you think?" Amelie pressed. "Not all alphas are bad. Take my example. I always thought Alex was the one for me. You also know what he did to me. What an alpha did to me would have made me run away from them. However, I couldn’t do it when I met Gabriel. And you have told me about Gabriel’s past relationships, too. That doesn’t mean he was bad. Think about it."
"You’re right What you’re saying isn’t wrong," Katelyn accepted. "Now, Karmen is gone from my life. We talked, you know. He said I would never be his type. He doesn’t desire an alpha in his life. Someone of his status or even lower, but not me," she murmured.
"Kate, everyone has their own type. If you still feel uncomfortable with Sage, clarify your feelings with a firm gaze. But don’t judge a person without knowing them. That’s what I’m trying to tell you," Amelie again said.
A brief silence lingered between them for a second.
"What’s your type? Forget about Alpha, beta, gamma, and omegas," Amelie pronounced.
"My type... Umm... Someone soft and caring. Being a princess, I’ve received everything I desire. But there are things that I couldn’t. I would like a man who is honest with me about everything. And yes, he must know cooking!" Katelyn smiled as she said those words.
"Who knows you’ll find such a type in Sage. Observe him and don’t react at once. Just take slow steps while forgetting that he’s an alpha," Amelie suggested.
Katelyn hummed. "Thanks, Amelie. I feel so light after talking all of this with you," she said with a small smile.
"Anytime, Kate. Then, I will hang up. Take care and good luck for your meeting," Amelie said. Katelyn thanked her and lowered the phone to the mattress after the call ended.
She sat up and ran her hand on her stomach. She approached the landline to order something.
While ordering, Kate wondered, ’Should I ask Sage about lunch?’ Then, shaking her head, she thought, ’He also has the room service.’
Upon lowering the landline, she turned to the washroom to wash her face.
While splashing cold water on her face, Kate recalled Sage’s angry face and words. ’Why did you throw away my mother’s amulet?’
"Did I make a mistake?" Kate murmured, pulling her hands back from under the tap. She drew a towel from the wall cabinet and dabbed it gently across her face.
"I’ll ask him later to give me the amulet. What if his mother asks me about it in the next meeting? Dad considers Sage’s father in high regard. If he got to know this, I’ll be scolded," Katelyn murmured.

Amelie stepped back in from the balcony and set her phone down on the bedside table. Before she could move away, Gabriel’s arms slid around her from behind, his hands instinctively resting on her big, rounded belly.
"Gosh," he whispered with a wide grin as he felt the movement beneath his palms. "That was a kick. Noa is so active in there." He leaned closer, inhaling her familiar scent with contentment.
Before she could answer, a sharp knock echoed at the door.
