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.

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   269/271: The Ignoring Technique

    Beatrice cheered along with the crowd before Princess Riela quickly linked her arm through hers and guided her toward the grand pavilion, where the larger celebration was being held.“Wait,” Beatrice asked, glancing toward the palace. “Aren’t we going to the grand hall? The officials and the royal family will be there, won’t they?”Riela hummed thoughtfully, then shook her head with a mischievous smile.“No, we won’t,” she replied. “Most of the guests inside the grand hall are already married or paired off. The interesting company is out here.”She leaned closer, lowering her voice. “Most of the eligible bachelors are mingling outside. And most importantly…” she paused dramatically, “Uriel will be inside the grand hall.”Beatrice stiffened slightly at the mention of his name.“Remember the ignoring technique you’ve been practicing?” Riela whispered playfully. “You’ve already made your presence known enough. Now we let him feel your absence.”Her eyes sparkled with strategy. “We’ll pr

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   268/270: My Queen

    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 bright, admiring smile. “Truly beautiful. The gown suits you perfectly… so pure, so angelic.”Althea’s long, wavy hair had been carefully braided, with soft, loose strands framing her face. White flowers were woven delicately through her hair, complementing the shimmering silver-white gown that seemed to glow with every movement.She looked… like a queen.“Come now,” Riela added gently. “We mustn’t keep the king and the people waiting.”With that, she personally escorted Althea outside.In the hallway, Gavriel stood with Uriel, deep in conversation. But the moment Althea appeared, everything else seemed to fade.Gavriel’s gaze locked onto her. He went completely still.Dressed in silver-white

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   267/269: The Time They Had Lost

    The Time They Had Lost“I am sorry, dear,” the Queen Mother said softly. “Please forgive me for how I treated you before.”Althea felt the warmth of her embrace and gently returned it, her hand moving in a soothing motion along the older woman’s back as she felt her trembling.“I’m really sorry… I truly am,” the Queen Mother continued, her voice breaking.Althea softly hushed her. “It’s alright, Your Grace,” she reassured gently. “It’s all in the past now. What matters is today… and the future. I hope we can get along well from now on.”The older woman slowly pulled back, her eyes glistening as she looked at Althea with newfound warmth.“Please… call me Mother from now on,” she said. “I may have my shortcomings, but I want you to feel that you are truly welcome in this family. You are my daughter now, and I will treat you better.”Althea’s lips curved into a soft, bashful smile. “Mother,” she called gently.Before the moment could settle, another woman rushed forward and wrapped her i

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   266/268: Welcome Home

    On the day the king’s ship finally arrived at port, Althea was already dressed in her finest gown. Yet despite her composed appearance, a quiet nervousness settled in her chest. The sight of so many people gathered to welcome them was overwhelming.Then she felt Gavriel’s hand gently take hers, guiding it to rest on his arm. He gave her a reassuring squeeze, grounding her.“Let’s go… our people are waiting for their queen,” he murmured softly.She turned to him and found him smiling at her with warmth and quiet pride. It was all the reassurance she needed.Taking a steady breath, she nodded, returning his gaze with her sweetest smile before stepping forward at his side.As they descended from the ship, the sound of trumpets rang through the air, followed by a surge of cheers that echoed across the port.“Long live the king and queen!”Althea’s smile widened, her heart swelling at the overwhelming welcome. She had never experienced anything like it before—being greeted with such warmth

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   265/267: True To Who I Am

    Althea stirred at the familiar touch of Gavriel’s lips against her skin. A soft smile curved on her lips as she slowly opened her eyes. She was facing the small balcony of the cabin, and beyond it, the sun was already beginning to rise.They were still wrapped in each other, bare and warm beneath the sheets. While she loved the comfort of his heat against her skin, a part of her longed to step outside, to feel the breeze and see the world beyond the cabin. She wanted to talk to Melva again, to explore the vast ship they had been traveling on.Days had passed with her rarely leaving the room, as Gavriel had kept her close, unwilling to let her out of his sight. They had spent nearly all their time together, lost in each other’s presence, as though the world beyond those walls had ceased to exist.“Gavriel, can we go outside today?” she murmured gently, her gaze lingering on the pale winter sunlight stretching across the horizon. “I think we need a bit of sun at this rate. Look how brig

  • Trapped with the Alpha King   264/266: Wait A Little Longer

    Melva had grown terribly bored as the days passed during their journey home. Most of her time was spent on the deck, playing with Ash or chatting with Trudis, Ben, and Rudy.“I bet we’ll have a little prince and princess soon if this keeps up for a few more days,” Rudy scoffed, casting a pointed glance toward the king’s cabin.Ben chuckled, clearly amused. “That would be wonderful news.”Melva smiled quietly, listening as the three of them continued their banter while she gently petted Ash in her arms. It was true. The lovebirds had not stepped out of their cabin for days. The king had taken it upon himself to personally attend to Althea, leaving Melva’s assistance unnecessary. At this point, it truly felt as though they were on a honeymoon rather than a journey back home.“Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if His Majesty chose this route just for the privacy,” she muttered with a soft scoff.“That’s true, but I’m honestly amazed at how calm His Majesty has remained after everything
