Althea turned and met Queen Mother Wilma’s furious glare. Before she could react, a loud smack rang through the atelier as Wilma’s hand hit her face.

Althea bit her lip, already sensing trouble from the Queen Mother’s thoughts. She didn’t dare read them fully because the woman’s mind was nothing but a storm of curses and cruel wishes.

Standing behind the Queen Mother was the same woman from last night, the one who had tried to attack her. A smug smile played on her lips. Althea recognized her a

    Arturo never left Riela’s side.He personally took care of her and would often fall asleep while sitting beside her bed, his head resting against the mattress as he kept watch over her.The Queen Mother let out a soft sigh before quietly leaving the room and gently closing the door behind her.“If you want, I can talk to him,” Marius offered. He had been waiting outside for Wilma, leaning against the wall.Wilma gave him a faint smile and shook her head.“Let him be. He’s just worried.” Her gaze softened. “And honestly, I appreciate it. It’s comforting to see someone so devoted and sincere toward my daughter.”She paused before continuing,“Riela has been through so much. But I’m glad things are finally going to be alright for her. She has someone whose feelings for her are genuine. I can only hope and pray that she wakes up soon.”Marius sighed before stepping closer and draping an arm around her shoulders.The moment he did, Wilma finally let go of the emotions she had been holding

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   297/299: What The Future Holds

    Everyone panicked when a servant suddenly arrived and reported that the King had collapsed unconscious.Althea had no choice but to explain everything to them.“What are you saying?” the Queen Mother exclaimed in disbelief. “We already lost our wolves, and now you’re telling us there’s a spiritual realm invisible to our eyes? That my son has been fighting demons there? And Riela just underwent a deliverance where a demon was cast out of her?”She paused before adding, “And the admiral was knocked unconscious so he wouldn’t interfere?”The Queen Mother had practically summarized Althea’s entire explanation herself.“I know this is a lot to take in,” Althea said gently. “But rest assured, Lord Arturo will wake up soon.”“And what about your sister-in-law?” the Queen Mother pressed further.Althea failed to answer immediately.Because she knew very well that Riela would not wake up anytime soon.“It may take some time, Mother…” Althea answered softly. “It depends on Riela herself…”“What

    Althea quickly stepped in before the butler could answer.“Mother, Gavriel already went to call them personally. They may take a little longer since we arrived with a guest, and they likely stopped for a brief conversation in the garden. He sent me ahead so no one would worry. We can begin dinner while waiting for them.”“Oh, alright then,” the Queen Mother hummed in understanding.Althea quickly took her seat.She could only hope Gavriel would finish everything as quickly as possible. Still, she felt reassured knowing Prophet Elior was with him.Though deep inside, she also couldn’t help missing the sight of her husband fighti

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   295/296: Fear

    Gavriel and Althea happened to meet Prophet Elior on their way to Ward Manor, so Gavriel invited the older man to join them for dinner since the manor was along the way anyway.“It’s so nice to see you again,” Althea said with a warm smile while they sat inside the carriage. “How long are you planning to stay in our kingdom? Can you stay longer?” she asked enthusiastically. She genuinely wanted to learn more from him and hoped he would remain for a while.She already had his written guides and scriptures, but it felt different having Prophet Elior personally there to teach and guide them.The prophet chuckled softly. “Yes, I will be staying longer. His Majesty also requested it. He wants me to oversee the Spiritual Elite Guards that he recently formed.”Althea nodded excitedly.Soon, their carriage came to a stop as they arrived at Ward Manor.The moment they stepped inside, Althea suddenly felt something unsettling.“What’s wrong?” Gavriel asked when, instead of following the butle

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   294/296: The Unexpected Contact

    Riela was smiling brightly as she watched Beatrice and Uriel together. Beatrice was clearly in cloud nine, her smile radiant and full of happiness. The two of them walked hand in hand as they left first, heading to Ward Manor to have dinner with Minister Marius and formally ask for Beatrice’s hand.“Women in love bloom like flowers. It’s so refreshing to watch,” she heard her mother say from behind.Riela smiled and gently took her mother’s arm, hugging it affectionately. “Indeed. I’m so glad Beatrice and Uriel ended up together like this. They look really good together,” she seconded with a bright smile.“Let’s head out as well,” she added, leading her mother toward their carriage. Her mother had represented Uriel in place of his parents, who had both passed away long ago in battle.Uriel had practically grown up under their household, alongside Riela and Gavriel, under their mother’s care.So they decided to accompany him, even personally helping him choose gifts for the Ward hous

    Althea smiled as she watched from the balcony, the twins playing with Ash. It had been a while since she last touched or played with the little wolf, who was growing quickly now. She would have loved to join them, but she always ended up sneezing whenever Ash was around.A knock sounded, followed by a guard’s voice announcing that Healer Lakan had arrived. Melva quickly moved to open the door.“Your Majesty,” Lakan greeted with a respectful bow.Althea returned his greeting with a smile before walking toward the bed and lying down so he could examine her condition.“Isn’t my baby a bit too sensitive?” she asked as Lakan checked her abdomen.Melva, who was preparing hot chocolate nearby, chimed in, “I agree, Your Majesty. Our royal heir seems a bit sensitive… and quite picky too.”After a few more minutes of examination, Lakan suddenly looked at her with a wide smile, his eyes gleaming.“Congratulations, Your Majesty,” he said enthusiastically. “I am now certain—you are carrying twins.

    Althea could barely recognize herself once Riela and the maidservants finished preparing her for the coronation.“I…” she trailed off, staring at her reflection in the full-length mirror.For a moment, she simply stood there, taking in the woman before her.“You look ethereal,” Riela said with a br

    Althea failed spectacularly at that.Once Melva seemed slightly less miserable, Gavriel turned his attention back to Althea, his expression softening again. “How are you feeling now?”She rolled her shoulders, testing her balance. “Better. A little strange, but not dizzy.”“Good.” His hand hovered

    The morning air was biting cold now that winter had fully set in. Gavriel helped Althea into the carriage first, then stepped away to give further instructions to his men. She bit her lip as she watched him from the open carriage doors, his figure standing out against the pale morning light.Her fa
