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   Chapter 102: Will You Betray me?

    The words hit the space between them like a thrown blade. For a heartbeat, Gavriel didn’t move. His eyes, dark as a storm, flickered with something she couldn’t quite name—anger, hunger, respect. The grip on her hips tightened, but not cruelly; it was as if he were holding her together instead of breaking her apart.“Then prove it,” he rasped, his mouth brushing the shell of her ear. Althea’s breath came fast, chest rising and falling as his words sank into her. She could feel him—thick, unrelenting, pulsing beneath her—and the demand in his voice sent a shiver through her body.“Take me in,” he hoarsely commanded. Her lips parted, and instead of obeying at once, she rocked her hips slowly, deliberately teasing him. The motion made his jaw tense, his control fraying by the second.“Is this what you want, my king?” Althea whispered, her voice low but edged with defiance. “I can be more than just someone to satisfy your desires,” she reminded him.She didn’t want Gavriel to see her as

    Gavriel’s words still lingered in the air. “Tell me, how should I deal with you?”Althea’s heart hammered against her ribs. His voice was sharp, but his eyes—those eyes that never looked away—were heavy with something else. She swallowed hard, forcing her trembling hands to stay still.“You deal with me,” she said softly, “by seeing me for who I am… not for what my father has done.”His gaze darkened. He stepped closer until the space between them nearly vanished. “The world sees Cain’s daughter. They see betrayal in your blood. They demand I lock you away. Some even want you dead. Should I ignore them?”Althea lifted her chin even as fear rushed through her. “I am not him. I saved those people. If I carried his cruelty in my veins, would I have done that?”His jaw tightened. The fire in her voice seemed to disarm him for a moment, and that was all it took for her courage to hold.“You ask me to trust you,” he said.“No,” she whispered, her voice steady now. “I ask you not to throw me

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   Chapter 100: How Should I Deal With You?

    The wolf beside Althea perked up at her sudden tension, its glowing fur shimmering faintly.“My Lady?” Melva asked, setting down the tray of tea. “What is it? What do you see?”Althea’s breath hitched. She rushed to the window and pressed her hand against the frame, her heart pounding. A man stood in the courtyard below. He turned slightly, and the sunlight fell across his profile. That face—sharp, familiar, unforgettable.“It’s him,” she whispered, her chest tightening.Melva hurried to her side, straining to follow her line of sight. “Who? Do you know that man?”Althea didn’t answer right away. Her lashes fluttered as if trying to blink away a mirage. She had told herself it was impossible, that her memory was only clinging to ghosts. Yet her lips trembled as the words slipped out.“He’s alive…”Without hesitation, Althea snatched a coat, throwing it over her gown. She rushed for the door, Melva and the wolf trailing after her in alarm.Thirteen years ago, her mother had introduced

    Althea stirred on the bed, her lashes fluttering as she slowly opened her eyes. A faint dizziness lingered, but her strength had mostly returned, and she could feel her energy flowing back into her limbs.“You’re finally awake, My Lady!” Melva exclaimed, hurrying to her side.Althea didn’t answer right away. Her gaze stayed fixed on the ceiling, her mind replaying the last thing she remembered—collapsing in Gavriel’s arms, his voice tight with worry as he called her name.“Did they stop the infection from spreading?” she finally asked, blinking to clear her thoughts.“Yes, My Lady. You don’t have to worry anymore,” Melva assured her. Just then, Althea felt something stir beside her. She quickly jolted when she realized there was a wolf curled up beside her. Its fur shimmered faintly in the morning light, black and white strands blending like shadow and moonlight.“Melva,” she stuttered with a gulp, pressing back against the pillows.“Ah, don’t be frightened,” Melva reassured quickly.

    At the Capital City, Royal EstateNews travelled quickly in the Capital City and other parts of the kingdom. By the time the sun dipped low and cast its golden glow over the royal estate, rumors about the Southwest had already found their way into every corridor, chamber, and courtyard.The story twisted as it spread, but one detail remained the same—Cain’s daughter, the traitor’s daughter, had saved an entire town.In the banquet hall of South Palace where nobles gathered for an evening feast to celebrate the Minister of Faith, Darel Cane’s birthday, the whispers were thick enough to choke on. Men leaned across tables, speaking in low, urgent tones. Women in silk gowns covered their mouths, their eyes wide as though they had seen the scene with their own eyes.“Did you hear?” one nobleman said, his voice carrying despite his effort to whisper. “The girl threw herself in harm’s way. Some say she stood against a horde of the infected.”“A likely tale,” another scoffed, swirling wine in

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   Eclipser

    EclipserBefore Gavriel could act, Althea stirred faintly in her sleep. With trembling arms, she shifted closer and clung to the wolf’s thick fur as if it were a pillow. A sigh slipped from her lips, her body relaxing for the first time since she’d collapsed.“An Eclipser wolf,” Uriel gasped. He quickly raised a hand to stop Gavriel, his voice low but firm. “Leave it. Look, she’s already responding. This is what she needs.”Gavriel froze, his chest rising and falling with sharp breaths. He hated the sight, hated that even another creature, not him, was the one she leaned on. Gavriel’s patience snapped. He reached down and grabbed the wolf by the scruff of its neck. The creature snarled and thrashed, its claws raking against his arm, but compared to the Alpha King’s iron grip, it was far too small to break free.The wolf’s fur bristled, its luminous black-and-white pelt shimmering as it struggled in vain. Yet Gavriel’s hold was unyielding, his jaw tight with irritation.“Put it back,
