Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Suffocating me now, Kate

Vance stepped out of the black sedan, his eyes quickly assessing the heavily built men who flanked him. "Why exactly did you bring me to this location?" he demanded, searching for a clear answer.

"The Alpha wishes to speak with you directly," Aiden stated.

Vance frowned, still deeply confused by the abrupt summons, but he had no choice but to follow the Beta inside. His steps finally halted in the spacious, austere living room upon seeing Sage, the Alpha, seated with intimidating stillness, flipping the pages of a file.

"Alpha, I’ve brought Vance," Aiden reported, standing aside.

Sage lifted his gaze from the document, dismissing Aiden with a subtle gesture, then motioned for Vance to take the seat directly across from him.

Vance wasted no time, leaning forward slightly after sitting. "Did you find out the truth yet? I swear, I wasn’t lying to you," he insisted, his urgency evident. "I heard it myself. The killers clearly spoke your mother’s name."

"Blythe is not my mother," Sage stated simply, his voice lacking emotions.

Vance’s confusion spiked, but he wisely kept silent, waiting for Sage to elaborate.

"Blythe wasn’t my mother," Sage again pronounced. "My father married for the second time after my biological mother ran away." As he spoke those words, a noticeable tightness formed in his throat, betraying the deep-seated pain. "Gianna was the name of my mother."

Vance’s eyes widened instantly, a shocking realization dawning on him. Could they possibly share the same mother? Their eyes met, and Sage confirmed his silent question. "Yes, you’re thinking right. Our mother is the same."

Vance was utterly unable to react; the sudden, massive news simply overwhelmed him.

"How was my mother? Did she ever speak about me?" Sage murmured, his voice now low and aching, the Alpha’s authority replaced by a son’s longing. "Did she ever try to reach me? I know you might not know the answers to these questions, but I—I just wish to know." Abandoned by his mother at a vulnerable age had left him with a multitude of deep, hidden scars, and they were bleeding open now.

Vance turned dropped his gaze as he truly didn’t have answers to any of those agonizing questions.

"She never spoke about me, did she?" Sage chuckled and filled with a crushing disappointment that echoed in the room.

"Mom and Dad never revealed that to me," Vance replied. "I—I didn’t know that..." he broke off abruptly, his mind racing, utterly unable to formulate a coherent thought or finish his sentence.

Sage, unable to bear the confirmation of his mother’s silence, suddenly rose to his feet. He let the file, the one that had started this entire confrontation, slide from his lap and rest on the cushioned seat.

Without uttering another word, or sparing a glance backward, he simply walked out of the room, leaving Vance alone with the shock.

Vance wondered if he should remain or depart. He decided to leave and pushed himself to his feet just as William entered the living room.
