Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Everything was about them

Later that night, once the guests had departed and the corridors grew quiet, everyone began retreating to their chambers. Katelyn walked slowly, her heart beating faster as she spotted Sage waiting outside her door.

Earlier, during their dance, she had asked him to meet her here.

As she approached, Sage turned his head toward her. The sudden contact of their eyes made her falter, her fingers curling into her palms.

"What was it you couldn’t say earlier?" Sage asked.

"Ah... that..." Katelyn began, gathering her courage as she stepped closer. But before she could finish, her heel caught on the hem of her gown. She stumbled forward with a small gasp.

In an instant, Sage’s hands were on her, steadying her. Her fingers clutched at his arms instinctively, feeling the firm strength beneath them.

"Careful, Princess," Sage murmured, a small smile tugging at his lips.

"Thank you," Katelyn said, her gaze meeting his again. She fiddled with her fingers, worrying her lower lip.

His thumb brushed across her mouth. "Don’t. You’ll chap it."

Katelyn pressed her lips together.

"Why are you hesitating to speak?" he asked, amused.

"I’m not. I was going to ask how I might win your mother’s amulet back from you," she said at last. "It was meant for me. It wasn’t entirely my fault that I tossed the bag after you told me. So, you should give me a chance."

"Why are you so insistent on having my mother’s amulet?" Sage asked, baffled by her persistence.

"I told you before. What if your mother asks me about it again? What will I say? She already asked if I liked the gift, and I had to lie. As long as I’m with you, I should at least know the things you care about, including your mother’s amulet."

"Hmm. Just win me, and I’ll give it to you," Sage replied.

"And how exactly am I supposed to ’win’ you? You’re not some trophy," Katelyn frowned, her eyes searching his.

"Like this." Sage leaned forward suddenly and brushed his lips against hers.

Katelyn went frozen.

"Pamper me the way a girlfriend should," he teased. Then, flicking his fingers before her face, he added with a widening smirk, "Why aren’t you blinking? Did my kiss shock you?"

"You can’t do that to me," Katelyn muttered, blinking rapidly now. "I told you not to play with my heart. I shouldn’t have even asked."
