Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: Katelyn’s & Sage’s Wedding (1)

Katelyn’s breath hitched as she traced the intricate lace patterns with her fingertips, the silk trail pooling like a cloud around her feet. The off-shoulder design highlighted the delicate line of her neck, while the full, sheer sleeves added a touch of grace to her silhouette.

In the reflection, she saw her mother move toward her. Mabel’s eyes were already shimmering with tears. She stepped into the frame, her hands coming to rest on Katelyn’s shoulders with a gentle, grounding squeeze.

"You look beautiful," Mabel whispered.

Mabel leaned in, her eyes reflecting pride and the bittersweet realization that her daughter was truly grown.

"This feeling is so different, Mom," Katelyn said. "I feel like I’ll step into a new role soon. And this dress feels perfect, just the way I desired."

Amelie and Zilia, who had been standing by the window to give the mother and daughter a moment of privacy, exchanged a soft, knowing glance.

"Even your makeup and hair style has been done with exceptional care," Zilia remarked, stepping forward with a warm smile to lighten the heavy atmosphere.

She adjusted the hem of her own maternity-friendly gown, her eyes sparkling.

"The stylists were terrified of making even a single strand of hair out of place. They knew today you have to be the most radiant woman in the kingdom."

Amelie nodded in agreement, reaching out to gently straighten a small lace detail on Katelyn’s sleeve. "Zilia is right. You aren’t just a bride today, Kate; you’re the heart of this entire celebration."

Amelie stepped forward and handed the wedding bouquet to Katelyn, who accepted the lush arrangement with a warm, genuine smile. The flowers were a mix of white peonies and soft sprigs of lavender, tied with a heavy silk ribbon.

"Sister Zilia and I made this bouquet together for you," Amelie said, her eyes bright with affection.

"That’s so thoughtful of both of you," Katelyn replied. "Having something you both touched makes it feel even more special."

The quiet intimacy of the chamber was gently interrupted as a maidservant stepped through the heavy oak doors. "Your Majesty, the auspicious moment has arrived. The guests are seated, and the ceremony is ready to begin," she announced with a low curtsy.

The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly from tender to ceremonial. The lead stylist stepped forward with the gossamer-thin lace veil, and Mabel, Amelie, and Zilia instinctively stepped back.

Katelyn stood tall, her gaze fixed on her reflection as the veil was lowered over her head.

As the final pin was secured, the distant sound of the palace trumpets echoed through the stone corridors, signaling that the bride was ready to begin her walk.

Katelyn halted at the threshold of the chamber, her mother and sisters-in-law stopping behind her. Standing in the corridor were her father and three brothers, their usual stern gazes momentarily softened by the sight of her.
