Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Key to one’s heart

Katelyn returned to the kitchen after her bath, her hair still damp. The moment she stepped inside, her nostrils were instantly filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly cooked food. Her eyes followed the source and landed on Sage, who was carefully placing the last of the dishes on the dining table.

"You’ve cooked so much!" Katelyn exclaimed as she moved closer to the table.

"Yes," Sage replied warmly. "I thought a hearty meal was necessary to make you feel good." He pulled out a chair for her. "Here, sit down."

Katelyn obeyed, her heart skipping at the unexpected gesture. As she settled onto the chair, she tilted her head just in time to catch Sage untying his apron. Her gaze drifted to the spread before her, and her eyes widened in astonishment.

"What are all these dishes?" she asked, almost breathless at the sight.

Sage’s lips curved faintly as he gestured toward the table. "This one is pan-seared salmon. You should try it with the lemon butter sauce. Since there was some salmon left, I decided to make teriyaki salmon as well, best with steamed rice. And from the meat, I made garlic butter steak bites." He glanced briefly toward the counter before adding, "I noticed you had a bottle of red wine, so we’ll open that too."

Katelyn let out a small laugh, her smile softening into something tender. "It feels like I’m in a restaurant," she murmured.

Without a word, Sage leaned forward and served a portion of the pan-seared salmon onto her plate. "Taste it," he said.

Katelyn lifted her fork and obeyed, placing the bite into her mouth. The flavors were rich, buttery, and bright with lemon, the salmon melting with the very first chew.

"That’s absolutely delicious," Katelyn said, her smile lighting up her face. "You cook like a top-notch chef."

Sage allowed himself a small smile before rising and heading to the counter. He retrieved a bottle of wine and two glasses, returning to the table with careful steps. Pouring the wine into both glasses, he set one beside Katelyn’s plate before taking his own seat.

Katelyn’s appetite got the better of her. Without hesitation, she served herself and began eating quickly, until Sage gently interrupted her.

"Eat slowly," he advised.

Katelyn chuckled softly between bites. "Honestly, the food is so good that I can’t stop myself. I’ve been famished since morning, and this rich meal... It makes me genuinely happy," she murmured, savoring a bite of steak.

"I’m glad you enjoyed it," Sage replied, picking up his fork and beginning to eat from his own plate.

When they finished, Katelyn couldn’t stop praising him, her tone warm and teasing. "I never imagined an alpha could cook such delicious food. Most never step into the kitchen. Sage, you truly have a remarkable talent."

She walked toward the sink with him, smiling as he carried the last remaining glasses. "I’ll wash them," Sage offered.
