All Chapters of Trapped with the Alpha King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Gavriel walked back to his bedchamber in a foul mood, though he forced himself to stay composed. What irritated him most was not Althea’s words, but the sting of her actions—she had asked for Simon instead of him. The thought gnawed at his pride, and he hated how much it affected him.Just before reaching the door, he stopped and motioned for Simon to step forward.Simon nodded, approached the door, and knocked. When Althea opened it, he slipped inside, leaving the door ajar as Gavriel had ordered.Quietly, Gavriel shifted to where he could see into the room. Althea’s back was to him, so she had no idea he was watching.His jaw tightened when he saw her suddenly drop to her knees before Simon.“Lady Althea, what are you doing?” Simon burst out in disbelief. “Please, get back up.”He moved closer to help her, but halted when Gavriel’s glare fell on him. The look was enough—Simon froze. Gavriel’s expression made it clear: do not touch his mate.“Please, I beg you. Get Melva out of the du

Althea’s thighs trembled around his shoulders, but he held them apart, keeping her wide open for him. The heat between her legs grew unbearable, each flick of his tongue sending waves of pleasure crashing through her. She felt herself unraveling, her body tightening, desperate for release.The more she moaned, the more he devoured her, his mouth relentless, his hunger for her matched only by his desire to give her pleasure. It was overwhelming, exquisite, and she surrendered completely, lost in the way he worshipped her body.“Ahhhh,” she cried.Her release hit hard. The pleasure burst through her in waves, making her body jolt and tremble as his mouth refused to let her go. She cried out, clinging to the sheets, her core tightening around the storm of ecstasy he drew from her. Gavriel drank in every sound, every movement, until she was left quivering and breathless beneath him. Only then did he lift his head, his lips glistening with her. His eyes were dark, burning with desire as h

Rudy and the others exchanged uneasy glances. None of them knew why the Alpha King had suddenly summoned them to the meeting chamber, and the heavy silence only grew as they waited for their Alpha King to speak.Gavriel sat at the head of the table, his eyes fixed on Rudy, Trudis, and Ben. His fingers drummed against the polished wood, each tap sharper than the last, his frown darkening.“She’s a spy for Lady Ava. If the poison hadn’t killed her, her next task was to get close to me, to serve me and report back. She had no choice—if she failed, her son and family would be executed. That’s what I read in her thoughts. Whether you believe me or not, that’s the truth.”Althea’s words echoed in his mind. Again and again, he heard her voice. And the worst part was… he believed her. Ava would have every reason. Especially once she began to see Althea as a threat. Since the day he met Althea, he hadn’t once called for Ava or visit her assigned chamber at all.Gavriel’s gaze sharpened on the t

Simon clenched his fists. He wanted to run to Melva, to take her away from the pain she had endured, but fear rooted him to the ground. Not fear of the matebond—fear of himself. Fear that if he embraced it, there would be no turning back.Still, he couldn’t ignore the truth. If he kept resisting, if he kept trying to live between two worlds—his desire for Riela and the pull toward Melva—it wouldn’t just break him. It could destroy Melva too.And deep down, Simon knew one thing with certainty: Riela would never be his. She had made it clear—she only saw him as a brother, just like she did Gavriel. On top of that, the Alpha King had already given him a direct command to take Melva as his mate.With that truth weighing on him, Simon finally gathered himself and asked to see the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother lifted her gaze in surprise when Simon was announced at her door. It was unusual for him to seek her out, and even more so at this hour. “Simon?” she said, brows furrowing. “What bri

Gavriel had just finished some of his pending work when he decided to return to his bedchamber to check on Althea. Since it was already dinner, he thought it best to share the meal with her. Besides, he wanted to speak with her more about her abilities and see if she would reveal every detail.Rising from his chancery, he told a servant, “Have dinner prepared for me and Althea, and bring it to my bedchamber.”As he walked down the corridor, Lady Ava suddenly appeared before him. She bowed low. “Sire.”Lifting her head, she asked softly, “May I please have a word with you, my King?”Gavriel’s jaw tightened. Somehow, the words ‘My King’ grated on him when spoken by anyone else. Strangely, he only liked it when Althea called him that.“Address me as Alpha King or Your Majesty—but not my King—from now on,” he commanded, his tone sharp. Only after the words left his mouth did he realize how revealing they sounded.Ava blinked rapidly. “But I often call you—” She stopped when his expression
