Chapter 377
“Are you asking him to pursue my sister?” Amelie still looked a bit surprised.
“Well, I was only encouraging him,” Gabriel replied. He pulled out the phone from his pocket. “You two should continue,” he said and left.
“Zander, I also want my sister to start living. But I don’t know how to convince her. You must be wanting me to help you,” Amelie said, keeping a serious face.
“But you’ve already talked to her. I thought if you might talk to Flora, she would consider moving forward,” Zander stated. “But I’m not in a rush. I can wait for her as much as she wants me to,” he affirmed, a small smile spreading on his lips.
“I’ll see what I can do, but I can’t give you a word that Flora will definitely consider your feelings,” Amelie didn’t assure him fully.
“I understand completely. You’re not wrong when you say people might question me too, how can I bring Flora as my mate to the pack? It can even bring turmoil and more difficulties to Flora. I’ve to make sure they first see me as the best Alpha for them. Though they trust me, I still need to be sure that my choice of Luna will be respected by them too p>
Amelie smiled as she nodded her head slowly. “You have always been thoughtful. If the Moon Goddess wants the bond between you both to exist, then it will definitely happen,” she stated.
“You’re right!” Zander agreed with her. “Amelie, for a while, I’m curious to know why I’m sensing an Alpha she-wolf from you p>
“Because I’m an Alpha,” Amelie answered. “It’s a long story. You can say my wolf was caged inside me,” she added.
“That’s shocking!” Zander exclaimed and smiled. “You had to undergo so much just because you were an omega in the others’ eyes. You were destined to meet Gabriel, your true fated mate. I am sorry for not being able to help you when you needed it the most p>
“It’s fine, Zander. You were merely following the orders from Alex at that time. Besides, you chose to protect my family when Alex decided to end them. That itself explains how much uprightness you hold in your heart,” Amelie stated.
“Amelie, what are you doing here? I got to know from a servant–” Katelyn abruptly stopped upon seeing an unknown man in the hall.
Zander immediately left his seat and greeted the princess.
“This is Zander, Red River Pack’s Alpha,” Amelie replied.
“Oh. Wait, I think I do know you. But I’ve forgotten,” Katelyn said. “I’ll leave you both alone. See you later, Amelie p>
She quietly made her way out while mumbling, “I thought Amelie stopped talking to everyone who belonged to that pack p>
As she crossed the Northern corridor of the castle, her head collided against something solid, but not hard.
“Can’t you walk straight?” Katelyn yelled and saw Karmen as soon as she lifted her head.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness,” he apologized, bowing his head.
“It’s fine,” Katelyn said. “What are you doing here? My brother isn’t with Amelie p>
“Prince Gabriel is ahead near the fountain,” Karmen answered.
“Oh. Go ahead then,” Katelyn replied, giving him the way.
Karmen walked past her while she turned to look at him. ’Will he turn back p>
“Why are you gazing at him so intensely, Princess?” Sage’s voice fell on her ear, and she quickly turned around.
“What are you doing here?” She was flustered and placed both her hands on her cheeks.
“The King called me to the palace,” Sage answered. “He said his soon-to-be son-in-law should come a day before the wedding p>
Katelyn rolled her eyes at him. “I’ve not said yes to you yet p>
“You will soon,” Sage replied.
“You know, over-confidence can become the reason of your downfall,” Katelyn remarked.
“That’s why I only stay confident,” Sage stated.
“I told your father I would be bringing Katelyn, so let’s go.” Without her response, he caught her hand and walked her with him.
“You can let go of my hand,” Katelyn said. When he didn’t reply, she turned silent too. Finally, they were in the main hall of the palace, where everything seemed chaotic.
“Your father is in the garden,” Sage stated and they made their way outside.
They found Raidan seated on a chair.
“Your Majesty, sorry for making you wait too long,” Sage said, bowing slightly and letting go of Katelyn’s hand.
“Dad, why did you call me? And I thought the guests will come tomorrow,” she pronounced.
“Sage isn’t just a guest,” Raidan stated, glancing at him and smiling.
“But he’s not either a part of this family,” Katelyn said in a low voice. She looked at the magazine and furrowed her brows together before grabbing it to read.
“What is this?” Her eyes widened seeing the headline along with her and Sage’s image. It was from the city they visited to meet their client.
“Princess Katelyn has found her fated mate p>
She read that headline and then gazed at Sage.
“Dad, it’s not true yet. I don’t know who clicked this picture,” she muttered in fury.
“I know. I didn’t call you here for this. Sage, take a seat, please,” Raidan gestured to the empty chair. He lowered himself and settled into it.
“Then why did you suddenly want both of us?” Katelyn asked.
“Tomorrow, many guests will be present. They may want me to tell them the story behind this news. Media will be present too. So, I want to ask you what you’ll answer if they ask you p>
“Ahh, I will tell the truth. Sage is my boss at work while I’m his secretary,” Katelyn replied.
“That’s not how you answer when you are a princess,” Raidan stated, frowning at her.
“Then, what am I supposed to answer? The truth lies there only p>
“Kate, we are seeing each other. Don’t forget that part,” Sage replied softly, turning his head to look at her.
“Yes, but it’s not official yet. So, why should I answer them with a lie?” Katelyn pressed.
“No one is telling you to lie. Just tell them that we both are seeing each other, but nothing is official yet,” Sage stated. “Am I right, Your Majesty p>
“Yes,” Raidan agreed.
