All Chapters of Trapped with the Alpha King: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Gavriel’s mind was a storm. His emotions were scattered everywhere, crashing into each other until he could barely think straight. He had already put up several walls through their matebond so Althea wouldn’t feel how chaotic he truly was. He hated that he had to hide it from her, but he couldn’t let his panic weigh on her already fragile state.Riela was taken. Althea’s life was now at risk. And worst of all—he was helpless.It was the first time he had ever felt something like this, a crushing fear he couldn’t fight with claws or strength.‘Is there nothing we can do?!’ he demanded at his lycan Chaos despite already knowing his answer.‘There is,’ Chaos replied, voice steady, ‘but I need time. My full strength only awakens when the redmoon rises. We have to wait. Be patient. And follow our mate’s plan. No matter what happens… we’ll take her back.’Gavriel clenched his jaw, torn between fury and fear, holding Althea tightly against him as if she might slip away any second. He wanted

Candice stood a few steps inside the chamber, her hands clasped in front of her as if she needed to keep herself from shaking. Althea could feel Gavriel’s arm still locked around her waist, as if even this moment required him to keep her close.Candice took a deep breath before she continued, “My father explained that the Luminis Shard is not just a relic. It is a living magical core. And, as I said, it cannot be fully controlled by just anyone, aside from the House of Aetherion. He confirmed to me that the only clan capable of drawing out its full potential is the Ivanov Clan.”Althea blinked. “Ivanov… Clan?”Candice nodded with certainty. “Yes. The Ivanovs were one of the oldest magical bloodlines on the Velmora Continent and they were believed to have the closest ties with the heavens. It is said they were gifted with the ability to bind light energy to the physical world. Only they could wield the Luminis Shard in its original form. Anyone else would be able to use only a fraction

Gavriel’s jaw tightened. His grip on Althea’s waist didn’t loosen, but his eyes stayed locked on Zander’s projection. The silence stretched until even the steady glow of the shard seemed to dim.Finally, Gavriel exhaled slowly. “Fine,” he said. His voice was calm, but it carried the weight of a decision he didn’t want to make. “We’ll come.”Uriel’s eyes widened. “Your Majesty—”“It’s not up for debate,” Gavriel curtly added without looking back. “If my mate is involved, then I go. And if I go, they all go.”Zander raised his brows in amusement. “All? Including the princess of Terravane?” He glanced toward Candice.Candice rolled her eyes with a sharp huff. “If I don’t go with them, they’ll probably say something stupid without me. Besides, I should come. I have a feeling whatever it is you want… it involves the Velmora continent.”Zander’s eyebrow lifted, his smirk stretching into something amused and almost predatory. “Aren’t you interesting. I’ve heard Terravane has a stubborn, unor

Althea bit the inside of her cheek, trying to steady the wave rising in her chest. Seeing the familiar handwriting of her mother, warmth washed through her so suddenly it almost hurt.Zander gently lifted another stack of manuscripts — thicker, older, bound in deep blue paper marked with the Ivanov sigil.“These are the ancient records of our clan,” he said quietly. “Amon protected them his entire life. He said they would prove we were never the traitors the Cross Clan accused us of being.”Althea tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. Her heart felt too heavy while staring at her mother’s journal. She turned another page, eager to read more...‘Twenty-five years ago, everything began to fall apart inside House of Aetherion. None of us saw the betrayal coming. The Cross Clan turned the continent against us. They forced lies upon the people, branding us as wielders of forbidden magic.Your father, Atlas, fought beside your uncle Salem and your grandfather until his last breath. T

Zander exhaled slowly. “Desperate doesn’t even begin to cover it.”Candice nodded, understanding. Velmora’s laws were absolute. Every House handled its own affairs, its own chaos. No interference, no alliances, no aid… not even in tragedies. If one House was attacked or framed, the others were forbidden to intervene. This rigidity had left countless families vulnerable to betrayal and manipulation.No wonder Zander had so few options. No wonder he was gambling on Gavriel.The Alpha King of the Moon Kingdom wasn’t from Velmora. He wasn’t bound by their codes or ancient grudges. He was strong enough, feared enough, respected enough to shift the balance of power across the continent if he chose to act.But Gavriel didn’t act without reason. He didn’t cross borders or join other kingdoms’ conflicts. Unless… there was something, someone, worth bending his principles for.And that someone was Althea.Candice’s chest tightened. She understood now why Zander had involved Althea. He had no oth
