Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604: Rested his little head

Casaio and Ian stood within the quiet shade of the gazebo.

"I’ve had to put all my personal affairs on hold," Casaio admitted. "I know you’ve been working hard to assist me with my own projects, but I couldn’t justify being away from the palace. Not when my younger brother needs me like this."

Ian offered a respectful nod. "Your Highness, please don’t give it a second thought. I understand completely. The entire kingdom’s safety rests on ending this witch’s reign. She isn’t just a threat to your family; she’s a shadow over all of us. Your focus is exactly where it needs to be."

"I appreciate your patience, Ian," Casaio said, his expression softening slightly.

"How is Princess Katelyn faring?" Ian asked, his brow furrowing with genuine concern. "The rumors about the cut on her cheek. The idea of that woman taking the Princess’s blood is chilling."

"The mark is gone," Casaio reassured him. "Fortunately, there won’t be a scar. It was treated immediately, and my parents even consulted a specialist to be certain. The surgeon agreed with the royal physician’s diagnosis. Katelyn’s Alpha blood is potent enough that her skin will knit back together perfectly on its own."

Ian felt relieved hearing that, and a soft smile touched his lips. "That is the best news I’ve heard all day. To know she is safe and healing well... It’s a blessing." He took a step back and bowed deeply. "Then, I shall take my leave. My prayers and best wishes are with you and your brothers tonight. May you conquer this evil once and for all. I have no doubt that you will."

As Ian walked away, Casaio’s fingers curled into a tight fist at his side. ’Gabriel will be the one in the witch’s clutches tonight,’ he thought, his jaw tightening. ’Under no condition can we allow her to gain the upper hand.’

Stepping out from the gazebo, Casaio’s gaze drifted toward the palace gardens. He spotted Idris standing with his parents, engaged in quiet conversation.

A genuine smile finally graced Casaio’s lips. It was a beautiful sight, seeing his parents finally embrace Idris as a true member of the family. He remembered all too clearly the cold distance the King and Queen had maintained after the truth about Zilia’s past was first revealed. To see that bridge finally mended felt like a small victory before the great battle.

Noah flipped onto his stomach, his small face scrunched with concentration as Gabriel watched him struggle to lift his weight. The little prince’s tiny arms shook slightly as he pushed, trying with all his might to get onto all fours.

"Not quite, Noah. You have to tuck your knees like this," Gabriel said softly. He moved onto the plush carpet, mimicking the crawling motion to show him the way. "Come on, little warrior. You’ve got the strength."

"Ah! Hah!" Noah let out a burst of bubbly, breathless laughter, his bluish eyes dancing with joy as he watched his father’s display. But the effort was too much for his tiny muscles; with a soft thump, he rolled over onto the mattress, landing squarely on his back.
