Trapped with the Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Althea stirred faintly, her brows knitting as a strange wet warmth brushed against her neck. A low hum escaped her lips before she realized it wasn’t a dream. Someone was licking her skin.Her eyes fluttered open, still hazy with sleep, the morning light spilling faintly through the curtains. The air was quiet except for the soft sound of breathing beside her.She turned slightly and froze.Gavriel’s face was close, too close. His mouth hovered at the curve of her shoulder, his tongue tracing the faint mark he’d left the night before. His hair was messy, his expression unreadable, but there was something darkly amused glinting in his eyes.Her pulse jumped. “What are you doing?” she whispered, her voice barely audible, half caught between embarrassment and disbelief.He didn’t stop. The rough scrape of his tongue moved lower, following the line of her collarbone. “Waking you up,” he murmured against her skin, his tone low and husky, like a man fully aware of the effect he had on her.

At Reed Manor, Nightcrawler PackAfter a quiet lunch with Abner, his wife, and Althea, the Alpha King set his cup down and spoke in a measured voice. “I must ride out to inspect the borders. I will be gone for some time. While I am away, Althea will remain here.”The words lit Althea’s face. Before she could think, she sprang forward and pressed a quick, impulsive kiss to his lips. Gavriel stiffened; Althea’s eyes widened as if she had been burned.She stumbled back, cheeks flushing. “I’m sorry. I— I was carried away, Your Majesty,” she blurted, bowing her head.Gavriel’s mouth tightened. “You still have a hangover from last night, it seems,” he said in that low, even tone that made her throat dry. Althea swallowed and lifted her face to meet his gaze. His stare pinned her, sharp and unreadable.He turned to Abner. “Alpha Abner, I entrust Althea to your care. See that she remains safe and does not slip away. If she leaves your pack or is harmed while I am away, you will answer to me.”

As expected, the news Gavriel purposely spread about Althea not being Cain’s daughter widely spread all throughout the kingdom.Althea strolled with Ash, Melva, Alpha Abner and Luna Ruth together with her three guards, Rudy, Trudis Ben and a few more selected warriors of Alpha Cain through NIghtcrawler territory.Everyone they passed by greeted her politely with a bow and a genuine smile so Althea didn’t bother reading thoughts.She unmounted the horse when they soon reach the market. As Althea walked deeper into the marketplace, the people she had once saved came forward to greet her. Some bowed low in gratitude, while others shyly approached with small gifts — baskets of fruit, handwoven scarves, fresh bread, and even simple trinkets wrapped carefully in cloth.At first, she tried to refuse. “You don’t have to give me anything. I only did what anyone else would’ve done,” she said softly.But they insisted, their eyes warm with respect. One elderly woman clasped her hands tightly. “

Althea tried her best to enjoy the rest of the stroll despite the dilemma weighing on her mind. The sun was still up, but dusk was quickly approaching.“Will the Alpha King return tonight?” she asked Alpha Abner as they walked back toward the carriage. Since she was exhausted from walking around, Althea agreed to ride the carriage with Luna Ruth and Melva on their way back, along with Ash. The sun was dipping lower, and it was almost time to head home before nightfall.“Hmm, he said he won’t be able to return tonight. He needs to check all the borders in every direction,” Alpha Abner replied.“What is it?” Luna Ruth asked curiously.“I just wanted to tell him something,” Althea murmured. “In person…” she added with a long sigh.“Oh, I see. You can reach him through the mindlink,” Luna Ruth suggested.Althea bit her lip and gave the Luna an awkward smile.“Don’t tell me—he didn’t teach you how to do that?!” Luna Ruth exclaimed in disbelief, her palm covering her mouth.“I’m his prisone

Since when did Rett have a warlock? And not just any warlock but one powerful enough to open a portal?Althea’s thoughts spun as she caught sight of movement through the trees. Ash’s fur glowed faintly under the moonlight as the wolf sprinted toward her, and behind him came three of her guards, Rudy, Ben and Trudis, with Alpha Abner leading the way with his men close behind.Rett’s expression twisted with anger. “You wretch! I’m your brother, and you brought them here to capture me?!” he shouted, his grip on her tightening.Before she could react, he yanked her close and pressed a knife against her neck.“Stop right there!” Rett barked at Alpha Abner and the guards. The blade grazed her skin, cold and sharp.“Hurry up, Jener!” he snapped over his shoulder.Althea’s eyes flickered with light as she tried to summon her magic to escape, but Rett moved faster. With a snarl, his form began to shift—bones cracking, muscles stretching, fur sprouting along his arms and neck until his wolfman
