Chapter 49 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

Chapter 48 Althea endured the hunger in silence. It wasn’t the first time she had been locked away without food. Back in her own pack, under Luna Meena’s cruelty, it had been the same routine. Some things never changed. She sat quietly in the corner, knees hugged to her chest,

Chapter 47 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

Chapter 46 The guards stiffened at Dorothy’s command before moving toward Althea. “No! Please, no! You can’t do this to her, My Lady!” Melva cried out hysterically, trying to push forward, but was held back. Althea, however, did not flinch. She caught Melva’s trembling hand and squeezed it firmly, her

Chapter 45 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 p> 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

Chapter 44 The three guards stiffened at once and bowed slightly. “High Stewardess, Lady Dorothy,” they greeted curtly, their voices carrying the weight of respect laced with caution. ‘High Stewardess?’ Althea realized then. ‘So she’s the one in charge of keeping order in the North Palace p> But as her

Chapter 43 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

Chapter 42 At a secluded clearing near the Southwest borders of the Realm of the Moon, the vast continent ruled by werewolves, Cain, with his son Rett, had arranged a secret meeting with Ruel, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack. It was a dangerous move, but Cain was willing to take

Chapter 41 “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

Chapter 40 “She would definitely tremble in fear!” Melva said, almost too eagerly. But then her face fell, a frown tugging at her lips. “Then your mother must’ve been a weak human… just like they always say. Since she was a slave p> “I guess,” Althea replied with a shrug,

Chapter 39 “Seriously, the chamber reeks!” Melva complained the moment she stepped into Althea’s bedchamber. Althea quickly pulled the quilt over her face in embarrassment and didn’t bother responding. She simply lay still, waiting for Melva to prepare her bath. Her body still felt sticky—Gavriel had kissed and licked her

Chapter 38 Althea’s eyes met his just as he pushed forward, the thick head of his shaft sliding against her slick folds. The sensation made her gasp, her hands clutching at his shoulders. Slowly, he pressed in, stretching her inch by inch until he was fully sheated inside her, filling

Chapter 37 Althea acted on instinct, responding to the deep, pleased sound that escaped Gavriel’s lips. She felt the way his body tightened under her touch, and something about that reaction stirred an unfamiliar thrill within her. She licked his length from its base to its tip. She moved slowly,

Chapter 36 Fortunately, Althea had just finished expelling the poison when Gavriel returned. She quickly stepped out of her chamber. “Your Majesty,” she greeted politely, bowing her head. His gaze immediately swept to Melva behind her. “Leave,” he said curtly. Without hesitation, Melva slipped away and closed the door behind

Chapter 35 Althea smiled softly at the Queen Mother as she raised her hand to accept the cup. “Thank you for the tea, Your Highness,” she said with a gentle hum, her tone calm, almost serene. Melva gasped softly and crawled forward on her knees, reaching out. “My Lad p>

Chapter 34 Althea gazed at the walls, sitting slumped in front of her vanity table mirror. “I want to go out,” she muttered with a deep sigh. Although being locked inside a comfortable bedchamber was still better than being thrown into a dungeon. Luna Meena used to lock her there

Chapter 33 The maids hesitated, but then bowed and stepped away, leaving the chamber in silence. Melva stood by the door, eyes wide with disbelief. “My Lady… what are you p> “I need to see her,” Althea cut in gently. “If I don’t face her head-on, she’ll just keep trying

Chapter 32 Wilma hurled the vase from the nearby table across the room, smashing it against the wall. Glass shattered and rained down the floor as the maidservants scrambled to clean up the mess without a word, too afraid to breathe wrong in her presence. “That woman!” she hissed, pacing

Chapter 31 Althea stirred, a faint tickle against her skin pulling her from sleep. Her brows furrowed slightly as she blinked her eyes open—only to find Gavriel hovering over her, his lips grazing her neck. He was licking and softly suckling the sensitive skin just above her collarbone. “Gav she

Chapter 30 Althea sat sideways on the horse, positioned in front of Gavriel as they rode back with the convoy. Her face was burning red, and it had nothing to do with the wind brushing against her skin. She was still sore from the nonstop intimate exercises Gavriel had with
