Last night, the Alpha King didn’t return, so Althea had slept alone in his bedchamber.

Today, she woke up early and had breakfast with Melva and Elsa in her room. It would have been nice to eat outside or in the dining hall for a change, but Althea knew how quickly rumors spread.

It was safer for everyone to believe she was either under house arrest or confined in the cursed cottage. That way, it also protected Gavriel’s reputation from rumors that he was softhearted when it came to her.

Althea knew all too well how quickly words spread, she could sense it clearly whenever she read the thoughts of the servants bustling about and passing near her.

“Did the plants I requested already arrive?” she asked Elsa, her eyes bright with excitement.

“Yes, My Lady. Although a few from your list are still unavailable,” Elsa replied. Althea nodded, satisfied enough.

After finishing their meal, Althea eagerly stepped outside. As usual, her three personal guards followed behind her. But just like t

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   Chapter 103: Shockwaves

    Althea’s eyes glazed with heat, her body straining against his, and still she met his gaze, lips parting. “I’m not—” she gasped as another deep thrust stole her breath.His growl rumbled against her chest as he pushed faster, harder, his dominance crashing over her like the water spilling around the tub’s edges.“You’re not?” Gavriel grunted, his pace quickening. The tub rocked violently under them, water spilling over the edges and splashing onto the stone floor. Her body jolted with each thrust, her breasts bouncing with the force, heat rising with every movement.Althea tried to form words, but her voice broke into gasps and soft cries. She clenched around him, her body betraying her even as her pride screamed not to give in so easily.His hand slid up her thigh, gripping her leg tight where it rested against his shoulder. With a sharp thrust that buried him deep, he forced her to look at him again. “Then why do you hold on to me like this?”Her fingers dug into his arms, nails bit

  • 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

    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
