Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: What Dominick truly means

Casaio found Gabriel waiting for him in the common room of the princes early that morning.

"Why did you call for me? Is everything alright?" Casaio asked, concern evident in his voice.

"We need to go to see Carlos’ grandmother," Gabriel stated. "Amelie and I both think she might be sick. Since you’ve been there once before, I want you to accompany me this time."

"Hmm. When do we have to leave?" Casaio asked, already preparing mentally for the journey.

"If we could leave by the evening, it would be wonderful," Gabriel answered.

"Alright," Casaio agreed immediately. "I was wondering myself why Carlos didn’t make it to this special event." Casaio’s brow creased with genuine worry. "By the way, I shouldn’t be saying this, and I pray this won’t come true, but what if something happens to his grandmother? Amelie and you can only find the truth about the past with his grandmother’s help."

"I don’t know what we will do," Gabriel muttered, running a hand through his hair, his eyes heavy with worry.

"Luckily, Ophelia has backed off for a while," Casaio opined, offering a brighter perspective. "So, there’s nothing to worry about for now." His tone was deliberately hopeful, a supportive older brother trying to reassure his younger sibling that everything would turn out well.

"Hmm. Thanks. By the way, are you and Dominick still on cold terms?" Gabriel questioned, pressing the sensitive issue.

"He is the reason for it," Casaio outrightly blamed, his voice devoid of any emotion except resentment.

Gabriel stepped closer. "You jumped into the Cursed Forest to save Nick. Have you forgotten everything about your second brother? You two share an unbreakable bond of brotherhood. Juniper was his personal affair. Don’t let the Cursed Forest fill your mind with a fog of falseness."

Gabriel’s tone softened as he spoke further, "Nick is looking out for your support. So, for once, put aside what was going to happen with Zilia and Idris because Nick was also suffering from the betrayal of his mate at that time."

Hearing such emotional and detailed reasoning from Gabriel, Casaio felt a strange sensation in his heart. It carried guilt, and lingering pain that was hard to explain.

"I’ll meet you once I’ve made the arrangements to leave for Carlos’ place," Gabriel stated, and he quickly excused himself.

Casaio also walked out of the common room, but instead of heading straight for his own chamber, he diverted his path. He was heading to see Dominick. Gabriel’s words about their bond had broken through the mental fog the Cursed Forest’s influence had left.

As he walked, fragmented memories started to surface. He could distinctly recall the moments they had always shared, the way he instinctively turned to Dominick with news, both happy and troubling.

Then, a specific memory surfaced: their wedding day. It was supposed to be Dominick and Juniper’s day, yet his brother was genuinely, overwhelmingly happy for him and Zilia, sharing the date with grace and true support.

One by one, the shared memories that he had temporarily suppressed began to flood his mind. The deep, unspoken understanding that had always existed between him and Dominick. He began to feel the loyalty and brotherhood they shared, replacing the cold bitterness from his heart.
