Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Rigid in your thoughts

"Why did you ignore me the entire evening?" Katelyn questioned Sage, finally catching up to him as he was about to retreat for the night. His sudden presence caused him to stop and attend to her first.

"I didn’t ignore you. You never came to me," Sage stated. "You were busy gossiping with your friends, forgetting that I even exist. But I get it, in your eyes I am still unloyal and pathetic," he said, his frustration boiling over, fueled by the insults and gossip he’d unintentionally heard earlier in the day. "I am sleepy now, and I have to leave early in the morning."

Katelyn was perplexed by his immediate defensiveness. "What is this tone of yours? I thought you were busy talking to your sisters. I saw you with them," she muttered, feeling unjustly accused.

"They didn’t talk to me the entire evening," Sage corrected, his voice hardening. "You don’t trust me. You still think I will betray you. That is why you went to Amelie and spoke about me behind my back to her," he ended up blurting out with sharp accusation. "Yes, I heard your conversation with Amelie. You think I will not fight for you with my family because I was unable to do so for myself. Why are you talking about such private matters of my life with others? I never discuss your private matters with anyone."

Katelyn frowned deeply to hear his words, realizing he had overheard her vulnerabilities. "Amelie is my friend. I can share such things with her only," she reasoned, attempting to justify her confidence in her friend.

"You are lying," Sage snapped, his control fully lost. "The Alpha King asked my father not to expect a yes from you. You told things to your father as well," he added, showing he knew the full extent of her actions.

"Well, my father should know," Katelyn muttered defensively.

Sage scoffed, his gaze turning contemptuous. "When Karmen said you are naive, then he talked about this version of you. You can’t make your own decisions. I was a fool to even consider that I could win your heart. In fact, no one can win you. You are rigid in your thoughts, and you don’t even want to make any efforts," Sage continued to be as harsh as he could, using his pain as a weapon.

Katelyn’s vision blurred with sudden, hot tears and fury. She fisted her palm and lunged, aiming a punch at him, but Sage caught it effortlessly. His grip was firm, holding her fist mid-air.

"Don’t even think about it, Kate," he warned. "You knew how sincere I was for you. This fucking mate bond, if it hadn’t existed, I would have felt even less pain." His eyes were intense, reflecting his torment. "I never got bothered by any woman before."

He took a sharp breath, finalizing his decision. "I will accept your rejection as soon as these two days end. You wanted to get rid of me, but I was a fool to convince myself, to convince you, till the very end that we would live together happily," he finished, his voice now stripped of all hope and affection. He then shoved her back, not with violence, but with a forceful separation.
