Chapter 183 Candice stood a few steps inside the chamber, her hands clasped in front of her as if she needed to keep herself from shaking. Althea could feel Gavriel’s arm still locked around her waist, as if even this moment required him to keep her close. Candice took a

Chapter 182 Gavriel was still breathing hard, muscles tense, trying to steady himself as she slowly released him. But Althea didn’t move away. She stayed on her knees between his thighs, her hands resting lightly on them, eyes locked with his in a way that made heat coil low in

Chapter 181 Gavriel’s mind was a storm. His emotions were scattered everywhere, crashing into each other until he could barely think straight. He had already put up several walls through their matebond so Althea wouldn’t feel how chaotic he truly was. He hated that he had to hide it from

Chapter 180 Althea felt terrified, but Gavriel’s arms around her were enough to steady her. His warmth always had a way of calming the storm inside her, even now when everything felt uncertain. “Did you eat dinner already?” Gavriel asked quietly. “Not yet,” she murmured, still leaning against his chest.

Chapter 179 Candice threw her hands up. “A cursed little crystal that can pierce veils, hide in plain sight, and connect two beings across distances without leaving magical traces. No spell can’t intercept something like that p> Osman’s eyes darkened. “Meaning Zander can talk to her whenever he wants through

Chapter 178 Althea’s heart hammered in her chest. She had been pacing back and forth in her room for almost ten minutes, debating whether to tell Gavriel or keep quiet about her earlier conversation with Zander. She pressed her palms together, trying to calm the turmoil in her chest but

Chapter 177 Ava left the Queen Mother’s side quickly and made her way to where Nilda was. She spun around to face Nilda, eyes blazing with urgency. “Summon Zander! Tell him—Princess Riela is missing p> Nilda’s hands moved over the crystal Zander had left them, her fingers tracing the familiar

Chapter 176 “Hmm… I honestly don’t know where she gets all this confidence,” Zander murmured as he looked at the beautiful woman sleeping on his bed. Her long, silvery-black hair spread over the pillow, her skin pale and smooth, her cheeks naturally pink, and her lips full and rosy. Her

Chapter 175 The guards flinched at Ava’s tone. Several of them bowed their heads, uneasy and confused. “Lady Ava,” the captain stammered, “we… we don’t know. The Princess was here last night. No one entered or left without permission. The patrols saw nothing unusual p> Ava’s glare sharpened, “Are you

Chapter 174 Wilma sat, still wearing the serene smile she mastered over decades of court life. “Thank you, Ava. Join me p> Ava bowed her head and took the seat beside her. She poured the tea first. Wilma watched her quietly. Ava’s expression remained soft, warm even, but Wilma no

Chapter 173 Gavriel could be stubborn and impulsive, especially where his mate was concerned, but one thing was certain: he would never put his loved ones in danger… never risk the lives of his family. Wilma drew a deep breath and steadied herself, slipping into the role exactly as Gavriel

Chapter 172 Morning came, and Althea stirred awake when she felt something warm against her neck. A soft smile curved her lips at the familiar warmth and scent surrounding her, she didn’t need to look to know it was Gavriel. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw him hovering just

Chapter 171 Simon tightened his hold around her. “He does. And he’s not just devoted, he’s protective. You’ll see. Nothing will come between him and her. Honestly, I’ve never seen him like this, not even with Rizza p> Melva pouted slightly. “But the Alpha King and my lady… they’re fated

Chapter 170 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.

Chapter 168 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

Chapter 166 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
