The Alpha King is a Woman のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

This time, when the food comes, I force myself to eat every single bite. The stew tastes like ash, the bread like sawdust, but I choke it down. My stomach protests, a low, queasy rumble, but it stays down. Barely. Soon exhaustion claims me, my eyelids become impossibly heavy. I lean back against the pillows, the softness a strange comfort.Just for a minute... Only a minute. The low murmur of the guards' voices outside fades into a dull hum. My breathing steadies, deepens. Before I know it... sleep drags me under._____Sleep doesn't feel like rest. It feels like drowning. Darkness pulls me under, swallowing every thought until even my father's face disappears, and fortunately, there's no nausea. No aching muscles. No burning throat from vomiting.Just... nothing. Peace. I don't know how long it lasts.Then consciousness slowly claws its way back. My eyelids flutter open. The ceiling above me is unfamiliar for a second before memory crashes back into place. My Father's house. The

I stand frozen, my chest rising and falling in uneven breaths, my brain slowly processing her words. I open my mouth to speak, but once again no word comes out. The silence stretching through the hall feels almost unbearable, a thick, suffocating blanket that terrifies me far more than her shouting ever could.Then, with a frustrated sigh, Ravelle slowly turns away from me. Without another argument. Without another attempt to convince me. She looks at every single warrior standing in the corridor. Her expression is unreadable. Cold. Calculating. Dangerously calm."You all failed."Her voice isn't loud. It doesn't need to be. The disappointment in those three words is enough to make several warriors lower their heads in shame."You were given one duty." She folds her arms behind her back, pacing slowly before them, my body moving with a predatory grace I know all too well. "Protect the former Luna. You trained for years. You swore your lives." She stops in front of the oldest warrior,

"Fuck."The curse is torn from my throat before I can stop it. It's not just irritation; it's a white-hot fury that sears through me as I stare down at my own unconscious body lying crumpled on the floor, a heap of useless limbs and stubborn pride in a form that is now his."Are you kidding me?" The words are a low growl, vibrating in this borrowed chest. "Now? Of all the cowardly, idiotic, *infuriating* times to collapse—you choose *now*?" My voice is a throaty rasp, a frustrated sound that barely contains the storm brewing inside.I crouch beside him, my fingers, clumsy and foreign, press against the side of my own neck, searching for a pulse.It's there. Strong. Steady. A stubborn, maddening rhythm that matches the man himself, even trapped in my fragile form.I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, the air leaving my lungs in a shaky, defeated rush. My shoulders sag for the briefest of seconds before the frustration comes crashing back in."So close," I grit out, the wo

The gathering ground is overflowing by the time I arrive. Far more people than I expected. Hundreds, maybe more.Warriors line both sides of the courtyard in full armor, their faces grim. Elders wrapped in ceremonial robes stand together, whispering anxiously. Women clutch frightened children, their eyes wide with fear. The entire atmosphere feels suffocating, thick with the stench of terror.No one smiles anymore. Everyone is talking, everyone whispering urgently among themselves, a frantic, buzzing hive of anxiety that sets my teeth on edge."...Did you hear?""The Beta really betrayed us...""That's why the Alpha burned his body...""...the Ex-Alpha had also beheaded his own son...""...the Moon Goddess is punishing Ashen Vale...""...the former Luna has been taken by the former Alpha...""Do you think she's still alive?""...what if he attacks tonight..."Fear has become contagious. It spreads faster than any disease, faster than fire, a poison seeping into the very soul of this

Something inside my chest cracks, a sharp, painful break. A dam I didn't even know was there, holding back a tide of emotion, bursts. For one brief moment... I forget I'm standing in Kei's body. I forget the gathering. Forget the incoming battle with Kei father. Forget everything. All I can see is this boy, this brave, stupid, wonderful boy, who sees the world not as it is, but as it should be.A smile spreads across my face before I even realize it, a real, genuine smile that feels foreign on my face. Then... I laugh. A genuine laugh, loud and clear, the first one in what feels like forever. It's a raw, slightly unhinged sound, but it's mine.Before anyone can react— I step forward and pull Elias into a hug. The poor boy freezes, his entire body going rigid, a statue carved from shock and confusion. "...Alpha?" his voice squeaks, a high, strained sound.I squeeze him once, a quick, hard hug, before stepping back, my hands on his shoulders. "You." I smile, a real, genuine smile that f
