Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Where she belongs

After finishing his meal at Katelyn’s house, Sage returned to his apartment and locked himself in his bedroom. He paced the length of the room, until finally he sank onto the rug with his back against the bed.

"No, Nyko. I can’t go near her. You need to understand that," Sage muttered aloud, his chest tightening as his wolf rumbled restlessly within him.

’But Silver and I have already accepted each other,’ Nyko’s voice growled in the back of his mind. ’Just make Kate agree. Do whatever it takes. We’re going to burn like fire the entire night if you keep resisting.’

"I can’t hurt her," Sage whispered back fiercely, pressing a hand over his heart as if to hold himself together. "I won’t."

Nyko went silent, but his silence carried no peace. The restlessness only increased, suffocating Sage until even his breaths grew ragged. His imagination started taking toll on him. Katelyn’s scent flooding his senses, which was both sweet and intoxicating, pulling him under.

With a groan, he drew his knees up and buried his face between them, every muscle trembling. "Why today?" he muttered hoarsely. "Of all days, why did she have to appear before me now? Why did I have to find my mate today?"

When no calm came, Sage finally pushed himself up. The heat burning through his veins was unbearable, maybe a cold shower would wash it away, if only for a moment. But just as he turned toward the bathroom, the sharp chime of the doorbell rang out.

"Kate?" he breathed, hope and desperation tangling in his voice. Without thinking, he hurried across the room, rut-clouded instincts making him reckless. He flung the door open, but froze.

"You," Sage spat, his expression darkening as his gaze locked on the last person he wanted to see. Eleanor.

His jaw clenched, fury cutting through the haze as he moved to slam the door. But Eleanor was quicker, slipping inside before he could shut her out.

"Get out," Sage growled, his fists curling so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Your mother sent something for you. I went to your home, and—" Eleanor began, but Sage didn’t let her finish. He yanked the door wide and shoved her back into the hall.

"You are shameless, aren’t you?" Sage snapped with fury. Eleanor’s pheromones hung in the air like poison, hitting him with a dizzying rush. His body ached, his knees threatening to buckle, as if her presence was dragging every weakness out of him.

The commotion had already drawn the neighbors as curious eyes landed on the scene.

"Don’t come near me. And don’t you ever step foot in here again," Sage warned with a his thunderous voice. With that, he slammed the door shut in her face.

But Eleanor wasn’t done. Her fists pounded against the wood, each knock echoing through the room.

"Sage! Sage!" she cried, her voice breaking as she slammed her palm against the door again and again. "Don’t see me as the villain here! I love you so much. Don’t push me away!"
