Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 765

Chapter 765: Lead your people, your kind

Carlos sat down on the stone bench in the open yard of the Moon temple when Cynthia came to him. She forwarded a white flower to him, which he accepted readily.

"Thank you," Carlos said.

"I noticed you coming here for straight two days. Last time I saw you with Prince Gabriel," Cynthia stated.

"This time I have come alone," Carlos replied.

"You have great powers which are meant to be used in good work," Cynthia began, her voice steady and calm. "If the fear in your heart is holding you back, then you must know how you helped Amelie and Gabriel in finding their curses. Why do you think you’re the chosen one to carry these powers?"

She lowered herself next to him, keeping some space between them as she waited for his answer.

Carlos sat in stunned silence as he processed her words. "Did Gabriel tell you about me?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued by her sudden insight.

"No. I was once the Moon Goddess," Cynthia answered.

Carlos stopped blinking. He finally realized why Gabriel, a man who rarely bowed to any higher power, would visit this temple so frequently.

"What do you mean you were the Moon Goddess? Are you no longer the one?" he asked, staring at her in complete confusion.

"Things happened, and I am punished to live as a human," Cynthia replied, her tone suggesting the details were a heavy burden she wasn’t ready to share.

She turned her gaze toward a tall tree, her voice softening. "Your parents didn’t die because of you, Carlos. Life and death are in no one’s hands. No matter what you did, you couldn’t have stopped it. So, don’t be so hard on yourself. I know you’ve made up your mind to walk the path meant for you, but you must be clear-headed first."

Carlos looked down at his trembling hands, the white flower now forgotten in his grip. "I saw a dagger being pierced into my chest. My visions... I don’t know if they truly see the future or not. I saw Flora’s future too, but it didn’t come true. I am glad it didn’t, though."

"Your visions don’t carry the entire future," Cynthia said, her voice sounding like a soft echo in the temple yard. "They are meant to change for those who want them to change. Do you think Amelie and Gabriel could have broken the witch’s curse so easily otherwise? Your grandmother believed in her powers for a reason."

Carlos furrowed his brows, the memory of the final battle flashing through his mind. "But that metallic sword ended Ophelia. If not for that, it would have been difficult for us."

"True," she asserted, her gaze piercing through his confusion. "However, your grandmother was a guide for them. You were also a guide for them. The tools matter, Carlos, but the hand that knows where to strike matters more. You aren’t just seeing a fixed fate; you are seeing the warnings that allow others to survive."

Carlos felt a heavy shift in his chest. "I did make up my mind to walk on the path meant for me, but I still carried my doubts. Thank you for clearing them." He turned his head slowly to look at Cynthia, acknowledging the divinity that still seemed to cling to her human form.

She smiled a little, a gesture that felt kind. "Don’t waver easily, Carlos. Return to the place where you have always belonged and lead your people, your kind. That’s the only thing I can tell you," Cynthia affirmed.

"Hmm." Carlos looked straight ahead, watching the sunlight play across the temple stones. The clarity in his head was sharp now, piercing through the fog of his fears.

"Aisha," he said, his voice dropping to a low, rough velvet tone that matched her dress. "You look like you are the princess. If anything, the Princess might be annoyed that you’re stealing her spotlight." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
