Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: You were born to become

Glenice approached the table with a smile. She pulled it out quietly and sat down, smoothing the sleeves of her coat before looking at him.

"What would you like to have?" Carlos asked, setting his cup down on the table.

Glenice shook her head lightly. "No coffee for me at this hour," she replied. Then her expression softened slightly. "My condolences for your grandmother."

Carlos’ eyebrows lifted in surprise. "You heard about it?"

A faint, knowing smile touched Glenice’s lips. "Every witch has heard," she said calmly. "Ravenna was one of the greatest witches of her generation. The Ashfall family has always been meant to lead the witches and the mages alike." She paused, studying him carefully. "You are the only one who stepped away from that path. But fate has a way of correcting itself. If you refuse it, the deities will pull you back."

Carlos leaned back slightly in his chair, his fingers tightening around the cup.

"I saw a vision," he said. "In it... I killed myself. Do you think that vision is the work of the deity I refuse to worship?" he asked.

Glenice’s brows drew together immediately. "You saw something like that?" she asked, clearly unsettled.

Carlos nodded slowly. "And I also found that old book, the one that had been buried in the library for centuries," he continued. "Everything in it points to the same thing." His voice carried frustration now. "I am deliberately defying my fate. I don’t want to carry those powers, and maybe that is why I have been left alone for so long."

Glenice watched him for a moment before speaking again.

"Carlos," she said gently, placing her hand over his on the table. "What happened to your parents was tragic. But it was an accident. It did not happen because you foresaw it."

Carlos remained silent for a while, slowly sipping his latte as he stared at the surface of the cup. The drink did little to settle the uneasiness in his chest.

After a long pause, he finally placed the cup down and looked at Glenice.

"Will Amelie be hurt next if I keep defying this fate?" he asked quietly.

Glenice blinked in surprise. "Amelie?" she repeated, wanting to be certain. "Gabriel’s mate?"

Carlos gave a small nod. "Hmm."

Glenice leaned back slightly, considering his words. "She is not your family," she said carefully.

Carlos shook his head at once. "She is," he replied firmly. "I considered her family from the moment I met her. Don’t misunderstand what I mean. She is like a younger sister to me."

His gaze softened slightly as memories surfaced.

"She saved my life the first time I traveled into the territories of the wolves while searching for answers about myself," he continued. "Back then, I was still drowning in grief after losing my parents. It had been three years since they passed when I met Amelie."

Glenice listened quietly, her brows knitting together as she thought back.

"Now that you mention it," she said slowly, "I remember hearing about that. You went through quite a lot to protect both Amelie and Gabriel from that old dark witch. Ophelia, wasn’t it?"

Carlos nodded once. "Yes," he replied. "They managed to kill Ophelia."

He paused before adding quietly, "I just want Amelie to remain safe."

Glenice sighed softly, understanding the concern in his voice.

"If you truly consider her family," she said, "then you must also understand something important. Those who wish to push you toward your destiny may use the people you care about as leverage."

Carlos’s expression darkened slightly.

"Your fate is to lead," Glenice continued gently. "The Ashfall bloodline was never meant to stay hidden or powerless. You are meant to carry those abilities and use them for the sake of everyone under your protection."

She studied him carefully before adding, "I cannot fully explain why you saw that vision of harming yourself. But if it is connected to anything, it may be tied to your stubborn refusal to accept what you were born to become."

Carlos didn’t say a word and kept staring at the center of the table.
