Althea flinched as the words seared through her mind. ‘A child?’ Her pulse quickened, unease coiling in her stomach.

Aloud, the sorcerer spat, “You will all bow to him! The Abyss is coming for you, for all of us!”

Althea steadied herself, forcing calm even as her head throbbed from the flood of thoughts.

She narrowed her eyes at him and asked, “Where is Hades now?”

He thrashed against his chains, sweat breaking across his brow. “Get out of my head, witch!”

Gavriel’s cold gaze flicked to Althea, noticing the sorcerer’s panic. Her knees threatened to buckle but Gavriel’s hand rested briefly on her shoulder, grounding her, though his voice was directed at the prisoner.

“Answer her.”

The sorcerer only laughed through his terror, a jagged, broken sound. “Even if I told you, it would be too late. The Abyss opens soon. His bloodline will pave the way—your walls, your borders, your kingdoms, all of it will crumble!”

Althea winced as another pulse of black energy surged from him, trying to pu

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   234/235: The Tree

    At House of Aetherion TerritoryMelva had already finished cleaning Althea’s body and gently massaging her stiff limbs, careful not to disturb the fragile stillness surrounding her. Yet she did not leave.Instead, she remained kneeling beside the transparent casket, her hands folded on her lap as her gaze drifted between Althea’s serene face and the faintly glowing Tree of Life towering above them. Soft golden light filtered through its leaves, casting a gentle radiance that made the hidden garden feel almost unreal.“I’m still confused about so many things, milady,” Melva murmured quietly, her voice barely more than a whisper. “Even this tree… I didn’t know such a thing truly existed.”She let out a slow sigh, her shoulders lifting and falling as memories surfaced.Earlier that day, she had spoken with several people from the House of Aetherion, those she had crossed paths with. Curious and unable to contain her questions, she had asked them about the Tree of Life. Each one had given

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   233/235: Even kings are allowed to love

    Uriel rubbed his temples as he sat back in the high-backed chair behind the council desk, eyes fixed on the endless stack of documents before him.The parchment felt heavier tonight, as if the weight of the kingdom itself had seeped into every line of ink. Reports. Complaints. Requests for reassurance. Arguments between nobles who no longer trusted the ground beneath their feet now that magic and shifting had gone silent.The palace was too quiet.He exhaled slowly and leaned forward again, scanning another report about unrest near the eastern borders, arguments over old land claims between packs. Merchants refusing to travel at night. Guards requesting more men even though they all knew it was pointless.

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   232/234: Do You Trust Me

    Zander raised a hand gently, signaling calm. His gaze shifted from the Archon to Candice, assessing her reaction rather than accepting the offer outright.“This is… sudden,” Zander said carefully.“It is decisive,” the Archon replied. “Our houses have long discussed this possibility. You and Candice have known each other since childhood even if you two do not remember those times since both of you are still young.”Osman felt something dark twist in his chest.Zander glanced at Candice again. “And what does Lady Candice think?”Candice’s hands clenched at her sides. She drew a steady breath before answering. “I think,” she said slowly, “that this conversation should not be treated like a trade of lands or titles.”The Archon frowned slightly. “Candice, this is not the time—”“It is exactly the time,” she interrupted, her voice firm but controlled. “House Aetherion just survived war. Announcing a marriage alliance as if it’s a victory trophy is not right.”Osman looked at her then—trul

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   231/233: To Congratulate

    Gavriel did not turn around right away but his jaw tightened. The soft glow of the Tree of Life bathed Althea’s pale face in silver light, making her look as though she were merely sleeping, caught in a dream too deep to reach.“My cousin will be in good hands here,” Zander added. “I will personally oversee everything. I’ll send you updates daily. Nothing will be hidden from you. You should return to Lunaris first and stabilize your kingdom.”Still, Gavriel did not move.For a long moment, the only sound between them was the faint rustle of leaves above, the Tree of Life whispering softly as if breathing on its own.“I just got her here,” Gavriel said at last, his voice low. “Or at least… I found where she needs to be. And now you’re telling me to leave her.”Zander stepped closer, stopping beside him. He looked at Althea too, his expression no less heavy. “I know how it feels,” he said. “You think walking away means abandoning her. But it doesn’t.”Gavriel finally turned, his eyes da

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   230/232: Please Let Her Live

    Gavriel did not waste a single moment.The moment the gates of House Aetherion were fully secured and the cries of battle faded into uneasy silence, he turned his back on everything else. Titles, victories, bloodlines, judgment… None of it mattered to him right now except for Althea and the Tree of Life.“Zander,” he said sharply, already moving. “Make the arrangements. Clear the path. I’m taking her to the Tree of Life.”Zander understood without needing further explanation. He gave a firm nod and immediately began issuing orders to the men who now answered to him. Guards were stationed. The inner grounds were sealed. No one was allowed near the sacred heart of Aetherion without permission.The Tree of Life stood deep within the ancestral grounds of House Aetherion, beyond stone walls and ancient paths worn smooth by centuries of footsteps. Even stripped of magic, even after the heavens had gone quiet, the Tree remained… in the most breathtaking way.It glowed. Not brightly, not blin

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   229/231: Despite Everything

    At the House of Terravane, Candice paced back and forth inside her bedchamber with her hands clenched at her sides.Every step felt heavier than the last. She hated being here, hated waiting and hated doing nothing while a war that could decide the fate of the continent was unfolding. If only magic still worked, and if only she could fight beside them instead of being trapped in silk curtains and polished floors.She stopped by the window and stared out. Her chest felt so tight as minutes passed, which turned to hours. Doing nothing was worse than fear. It was unbearable. So she left her room and went straight to the place where decisions were made.The council study was quiet when she arrived. Her grandfather, Archon Randal of House Terravane, stood by the long table covered in maps and sealed letters. Beside him was her father, Merlin, his brows drawn tight as he listened.They both turned when Candice entered.“Grandfather. Father,” she said, her voice steady only because she forc
