Trapped with the Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

“I was on my way back to the royal estate, but when I heard what happened here, I thought I should stop by and see it for myself. I’m fortunate to cross paths with you, My King,” Lady Ava said politely as she approached, her steps light, her poise flawless. She came to stand beside him, her presence calm yet commanding.“The yearly hunt is approaching,” she continued. “The Queen Mother has asked me to assist in the preparations.” She paused, inhaling slowly before adding, “Should I include your breeder in the list? Do you intend to bring her to the event?”Gavriel’s brow furrowed. Her voice carried no trace of malice—calm, composed, and perfectly polite. Ava was always like that: refined, proper, and steady no matter the situation. It was no secret that many desired their union. To everyone else, she seemed the perfect choice for his Luna.But Gavriel remained silent.Ava had been Rizza’s close friend, and she had stood beside him through countless trials. He trusted her, valued her p

The weather was bright and pleasant, so Althea and Melva decided to take the chance to leave the palace walls while the sun was still high. The Alpha King had already granted them permission, though it came with one clear condition—they could only wander within the grounds of the At the door, three guards stood firmly stationed.“My Lady and I would like to walk around,” Melva said with a polite smile.Althea’s curious eyes studied them. “What are your names?” she asked softly.The guards exchanged glances, unsure if they should speak. Finally, the tallest of the three stepped forward. “I am Rudy, My Lady.” He then gestured to the others. “This is Ben, and this is Trudis. His Majesty ordered us to be assigned to you… to ensure you will not escape.”Althea’s stomach tightened. So that was it. Gavriel had not stationed them for her safety, but as a chain—subtle, unbreakable, and always watching.“I see.” She drew a steady breath and gave them a small, courteous nod. “Then I apologize i

Althea froze, her hand hovering uncertainly above the servant. She looked up, startled, her brows knitting together. “No—I’m only trying to help her.”Dorothy’s lips curved in a mocking smile. “Help? You call meddling with her body ‘help’? Everyone here can see what you were about to do.”Melva quickly stepped forward in protest. “That’s not true! My Lady was only trying to heal her—”“Silence,” Dorothy snapped, cutting her off. Her glare returned to Althea, cold and unrelenting. “Every breath you take in this palace is already a burden. Don’t think I won’t report this to the Queen Dowager.”The fallen servant groaned softly, her body trembling, but Dorothy ignored her completely. All her attention was on Althea, waiting for her to make a wrong move.She ignored Dorothy and turned to Rudy, “Get her to a healer this instant before it’s too late. She’s been poisoned and it’s seeping through her body already.”Rudy instinctively bent down to lift the servant, but before he could, the wom

Melva was deeply worried when she found out that the kitchen only sent meals for the three guards who escorted her lady but nothing for Althea. Her heart ached, so she rushed straight to the kitchen to prepare something for her.“What are you doing here?!” one of the kitchen servants demanded, glaring at her.Please… let me just prepare dinner for my lady. I won’t take long,” Melva begged softly.The woman laughed cruelly. “Do you really think I’ll allow that? Get out! The traitor’s daughter deserves what’s coming to her. Let her starve in the dungeon!”“Please, just a little food—”Before Melva could finish, the head cook had already called for the guards. They dragged her away as she struggled and sobbed. Desperate, she searched the palace for even a sweet potato or leftover bread, but every servant she approached shoved her aside.“Seriously…” Melva broke down, her knees giving way as she collapsed onto the cold ground. Tears streamed down her face as her sobs echoed softly in the

The next morning, Althea was escorted to the South Palace, where political affairs, lawmaking, and meetings with regional Alphas were usually conducted. She was led directly to the trial court hall. Althea walked with her chin held high. Her heart pounded, but she refused to show fear. She had lived with hatred all her life. What was one more trial?The vast chamber was already filled. Nobles, ministers, and visiting Alphas sat in their designated seats, their gazes sharp and filled with judgment. The heavy air practically reeked of hostility.“Just kill the traitor’s daughter!” one noble shouted, spittle flying.“She’s a witch!”“She’ll destroy us like her father did!”A few even hurled stones at her, but Ben and Rudy stepped forward, blocking them. The moment the crowd recognized them as the Alpha King’s most trusted elite warriors, no one dared try again.They had Althea stand at the center of the grand hall, surrounded by the council and regional Alphas. Their glares were sharp,
