163: Glowing

Leaving no room for doubt, Gavriel continued firmly, “Treat her with the same respect you would give me.”Gasps rippled across the hall. The musicians faltered for a brief moment before quickly recovering. No one expected the Alpha King to make such a declaration especially not during Minister Marius’s birthday celebration, a man everyone knew was like a second father to him.Even the Queen Mother, seated on his right, struggled to maintain her composure. Her hand clenched tightly on her lap, her face turning pale as whispers spread across the grand hall.[Gavriel! What is the meaning of this?!] she demanded through their mindlink, her voice sharp with disbelief.[You heard me, Mother,] Gavriel replied, his tone steady but cold. [I’ve chosen Althea as my Luna Queen. Don’t bring up Riela again—you don’t know the whole truth yet. We’ll talk later, but one thing you must understand is that the people trying to get close to you aren’t what they seem.][What do you mean?!]He wasn’t plannin

164: That Dance

Althea froze for a brief second. She hadn’t expected to be called out so suddenly. Her fingers tightened slightly on the fabric of her dress, though her face remained calm.The whispers began again.“What could she possibly perform?” someone whispered.“She’s Cain’s daughter, not a court lady and I heard she never leaves the pack too nor learn a thing. They say she’s the favorite but the good for nothing daughter.”“You’re wrong. She has magical abilities. And she already proven herself even saving many of our own. I’m sure she has more to show…”“That’s different from showing a talent in events like this though. Lady Ava trained for years under the royal tutor. Lady Althea can’t compare. Or is she planning to perform a magical abilities for entertainment?”“Her only advantage is her looks and that she’s the Alpha King’s mate.”Whispers and some thoughts echoed even louder in Althea’s mind as she accidentally brushed against the surface emotions of those around her. Their envy, mocker

165: Attention

“That’s a magnificent performance we haven’t witnessed before!” Minister Marcus praised, still clapping with genuine awe.It was the first time she had ever felt something like this, being praised in front of a crowd for her performance. For once, she truly felt a sense of achievement.“Thank you, Lord Marius, I am glad you like the presentation,” Althea smiled sweetly, relief washing over her. She was glad her performance went well. Who would have thought she could still perfect it after thirteen long years since she last practiced it? But it was probably her willpower to make Gavriel proud and not let him down that pushed her to do so well. The royal court officials began to gather around her, joined by nobles from every corner of the hall. Their excitement was almost tangible, their smiles bright and curious as they praised her. It was overwhelming—their voices, their applause, the way their eyes followed her every movement. Althea tried to stay composed, though her heart was r

166: Say The Word

Ava tried to compose herself as she stayed a little longer in the banquet hall, forcing herself to act unaffected by the sudden appearance of Cain’s daughter. She had heard the rumors claiming Althea wasn’t really Cain’s child, and tonight she could tell, the Alpha King seemed to believe them too.As soon as she found the chance, Ava excused herself and left the hall, her steps quick but steady until she reached her quarters. Nilda was already waiting for her inside.“My Lady, we have a problem,” Nilda said the moment Ava entered.Ava closed her eyes and drew in a slow breath, still reeling from everything that had happened at the banquet. And now, another problem? She could feel her patience thinning.“What is it?” she demanded, her tone sharp, eyes flashing with irritation.“The Princess… Princess Riela is now heavily guarded. They’re not letting anyone near her, not even me,” Nilda explained nervously. “For now, our only hope is that the breeder won’t be able to heal her.”Ava’s gl

167: A Curse

Candice was about to approach Gavriel after Althea’s breathtaking performance when Osman quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path.“He must know this!” she hissed, her voice sharp with urgency as she tried to pull away from him.“I know,” Osman muttered, gripping her arm before she could storm off. “But not now. Can’t you see? You’ll ruin the momentum. Just… breathe a little. Sit down. Eat and drink first. We both need it. Aren’t you even exhausted?!”Candice glared but reluctantly let him lead her toward a nearby table. Osman signaled a servant, ordering food and wine as she sat down, still fuming.Her mind wouldn’t stop racing. The rhythm of Althea’s dance still echoed in her head—those movements, that control, that elemental fusion.She clenched her jaw. ‘How is that even possible?’The Ethereal Blood Dance wasn’t something anyone could perform. Even she, a princess of House Terravane, had only mastered it with her element—earth. Her Ethereal Blade was purely of stone and

168: Say It Again

Althea was grateful when Gavriel finally led her away from the banquet hall. Her heart had been pounding so hard she thought it might burst from all the attention she’d received that night.She watched his hand firmly wrapped around hers as they walked toward the stairs, but soon she realized they had already passed the floor where their chamber was.“Where are we going?” she asked curiously. She could sense his emotions—something about him felt a little nervous.“Just up,” Gavriel said. “Let’s have dinner together, just the two of us. I know you felt awkward earlier, and I’m sorry for putting you on the spot like that.”Althea swallowed hard. She still wasn’t used to hearing Gavriel apologize so easily. Lately, he had been saying sorry more often, even for small things like this, and it always caught her off guard.Althea tilted her head, trying to catch a glimpse of his expression, but Gavriel kept his gaze straight ahead as they ascended the stairs. His grip on her hand was warm, s

169: I Tried Not To

Althea’s lips parted, trembling slightly. “I love you,” she repeated, her gaze locked with his. Her cheeks flushed as a shy smile curved her lips. Seeing the raw emotion in his eyes was almost too much, it was overwhelming in the best way.Gavriel suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace. Neither of them spoke; they simply stayed there, wrapped in silence, feeling each other’s emotions flow through their mate bond.Then, gently, he drew back just enough to look at her. His hands came up to cup her face, his forehead resting against hers as his breathing deepened.“I love you too,” he finally said, his voice low and unsteady, each word heavy with emotion. “I tried not to. I told myself it was only the bond, that it would fade with time but it never did. It only grew stronger every day.”Althea’s breath caught. Her eyes shimmered as tears gathered. The sound of his voice, so sincere, so vulnerable, filled her chest with warmth. Hearing him say those words made her heart feel light and f

170: Let me… take care of you.

Althea’s voice was so quiet that he almost missed it, but the genuine worry in her tone made him smile. Gavriel brushed his fingers along her cheek, his eyes dark with warmth.“I’ll be fine,” he murmured, his voice rough but steady. It was the first time he had ever shown this much restraint, but there was no way he would claim her while she was bleeding. Still, she looked so endearing to him, worrying over something so simple, her concern making his chest ache in the sweetest way.Her blush deepened. “You’re lying,” she whispered, half-teasing, half-concerned.Gavriel chuckled under his breath. “Maybe. But I’ve learned patience, Althea. And you make it worth it.”He leaned closer, his breath mingling with hers. The tension between them crackled, almost tangible, an invisible pull neither could ignore. His thumb traced the line of her lower lip, lingering there, making her shiver.“You really shouldn’t look at me like that,” he said in a low voice.“Like what?” she asked, blinking inn

171: We’ll Find A Way

The intensity in his body increased, and she could feel the tension coiling, ready to snap. His hips jerked slightly with each bob of her head, and she instinctively followed the motion with her hand, stroking him faster.Gavriel’s voice grew louder, his groans filling the room as his body stiffened. “Ah… Althea…”With a shuddering gasp, Gavriel finally exploded, his hands clutching her hair as his body tensed and released. Althea stayed with him, careful and attentive, until the tremors subsided and he collapsed back, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly.For a long moment, the room was quiet except for the sound of Gavriel’s heavy breathing. Althea lifted her gaze slowly, unsure of what she would find in his eyes. When their eyes met, the intensity there made her heart skip.Gavriel’s chest still rose and fell as he tried to steady himself. His hand brushed her cheek, his touch surprisingly gentle for someone known to be ruthless.The tension between them lingere

172: Lingering Waves

After Melva and Simon finished setting up the rooftop balcony for the romantic dinner requested by the Alpha King, Simon had taken her back to their chamber—where their night turned unexpectedly passionate.And now, she lay breathless, her chest rising and falling as she tried to steady herself. Simon had kept her inside in their quarters, refusing to let her go even for a moment. He was intense, unstoppable, and full of energy that only a werewolf could match. Melva could barely keep up, but she didn’t want to stop either.Simon crawled back on top of her, licking his lips after tasting her sweetness between her thighs. He looked down at her, a playful grin curling on his lips that made her blush even harder. He looked so roguishly handsome, especially now that he smiled more often around her—unlike before when he was cold and stiff.Being physically intimate after completing their matebond had been a blessing. Their connection became deeper and their relationship smoother, especial
