Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503: Sage confessed his feelings

Sage stirred, his eyelids fluttering against the morning. A fissure of brilliant, golden sunlight had found its way through a narrow gap in the drawn curtains, creating a burning strip that fell directly across his face.

He let out a soft groan, lifting a hand to rub the sleep from his eyes before finally pushing himself up. He settled back against the comfort of the headboard, taking a moment to simply breathe in the tranquil morning air.

The gentle quiet was suddenly broken. The door clicked open, and Katelyn stepped in with a cheerful energy.

"Oh, you’re finally awake, sleepyhead!" she announced. She didn’t linger, just gave him a quick, warm glance. "Breakfast is just about ready. Come and freshen up quickly, you don’t want the coffee to go cold." And with that, she was gone, the door closing softly behind her.

A genuine smile touched Sage’s lips as he finally threw off the covers. He stretched, the movement easing the stiffness from a deep night’s sleep, and headed straight for the ensuite. The ritual of a hot, invigorating shower washed away the last vestiges of slumber.

He stepped out of the bedroom a short while later. The warm scent of toasted bread and brewing coffee hung invitingly in the air, drawing him toward the dining area. He found Katelyn there, already presiding over the table, arranging two plates and cutlery beside a steaming carafe.

"Perfect timing," Katelyn said, not even looking up, a small smile playing on her lips. She pulled a chair out with a graceful gesture. "Come, have a seat."

Sage settled down as she took her own chair. Without delay, she focused on her plate, cutting into the fluffy omelette toast before lifting the mug for a sip of coffee.

"Mmm," she murmured, her eyes half-closed in enjoyment. "Isn’t it delicious? I think we should plan to be back at your place by the early afternoon, don’t you?"

Sage leaned in, resting his chin on Katelyn’s shoulder. "No," he murmured. "I don’t want to go back. Let’s just spend the whole day right here, alone." His arm slipped casually around her waist.

Katelyn paused mid-bite, gently lowered it back to the plate and slowly tilted her head.

"Sage, I understand," she began softly, "but I don’t have any clothes with me," she teased lightly, though the humor quickly faded. "Besides, you know how it is. Everyone back home is waiting to hear the verdict of their Alpha."

Sage sighed deeply. He pulled his head back, sitting up straight in his chair, and silently picked up his fork. He began eating the fluffy omelette toast.

Katelyn’s smile was replaced by a more astute, probing expression as she watched him. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Look," she stated, "If you truly want to spend time with me, to have a real vacation, then you need to finish your pending work first. We can’t escape it by staying here another day. Clear your schedule, and then we can take a small trip, just the two of us, with nothing hanging over our heads."

She picked up her coffee mug again, her eyes steady over the rim. "By the way," she continued, "you have to tell my father your answer today. I’ll be doing the same."

Sage’s face lit up with a smile. "Sure, let’s do it together after the breakfast."

Katelyn simply hummed in acknowledgment, her attention returning to the satisfying crunch of her toast and the coffee.
