All Chapters of Alpha King's Caged Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Daniella darted down the corridor, casting a quick glance around before slipping into the male servants’ wing. It was lunch break. A few servants lingered in the hallway, chatting idly and throwing her flirtatious glances as she passed.She kept walking, eyes scanning until she spotted a familiar face – one of Willy’s close companions. Slowing her pace, she approached him.The servant greeted her with a grin and a gleam of something crude in his eyes.“Hey, Dany. Looking good today.” As he spoke, his hand slid brazenly onto her waist.Daniella shot him a cold glare and slapped his hand away. “Where’s Willy?”He shrugged. “Willy? Haven’t seen him today. Might be in his room. But hey, stop chasing Willy around all the time. Come have some fun with me for a change.”She hissed through her teeth and stormed off toward Willy’s quarters. Her pulse thudded. She couldn’t remember ever feeling this panicked before.What did Skyla mean, the Alpha King had summoned Evelyn to his chamber last nigh

EVELYNAt dinner, we finally saw Mrs. Porter. She looked awful. Her usual condescending flair was gone, and she seemed deflated—like someone had let the air out of her superiority. Still, to her credit, she dutifully assigned us our evening chores before delivering the news that was supposed to rouse our spirits.The Luna Selection was set to begin next week, and there would be six candidates: two from the Fox family, two from the Maddens, one from Hart, and one from Crawford.As soon as she left, the maids burst into excited chatter. Everyone wanted to guess which of the Ladies would win the King’s affection, which one preferred her tea with milk or lemon, which one might favor a soft-spoken maid over a chatty one. The usual dreaming – of being chosen as a personal attendant for one of the high ladies.I wasn't particularly familiar with any of these candidates personally, but thanks to the history lessons my father once forced me to endure, I knew more than I ever wanted to about the

EVELYNI met Anastasia’s cruel gaze.She had never liked me. Back when I was still Lady Caddel, she used to call me “that little, ill-mannered savage.” After I was demoted a palace maid, we rarely crossed paths. On the few occasions I passed her near the King’s quarters, she looked at me the way one might glance at a bug—an ugly nuisance unworthy of acknowledgment.Now, her loathing had sharpened into something far more vicious. She looked like she was finally about to squash the insect that had annoyed her for far too long.Her cold, calculated expression mirrored the one worn by her niece standing beside her.A chill prickled down my spine. I thought suddenly of the maid rumored to have lost an eye after crossing Skyla.“Speak!”A hard shove to my back snapped me from my thoughts.“I never intended to avenge Jack. And that crest isn’t mine,” I said. I turned to Daniella and the male servant. “They’re framing me.”“Liar!” the servant spat, his pale face twisted in rage. “I saw it! I s

EVELYNI followed the guard through the dark corridor, and it didn’t take long to realize we weren’t heading to the King’s Quarters or the Iron Room. He walked so briskly that I nearly had to run to keep up with him.“W-where are we going?” I asked, breathless.“You will find out when we arrive,” he replied vaguely.We continued in silence for several minutes until we stopped at a plain, windowless wall. The guard opened a door. A rush of cool, humid air swept in, prickling my skin. I shivered and wrapped my arms tightly around my shoulders. He could’ve at least let me grab a robe.“His Majesty wishes to speak with you in the garden,” the guard said. “For security reasons.”My brows drew together.Security reasons? Did he think we might be eavesdropped on?Still, I followed him out dutifully. We descended the wooden stairs and passed a pebbled path. It was drizzling now, and the moon was covered by heavy clouds. The sky looked especially dark tonight.“There, at the bridge.” The guard

COLEI had never seen Mr. Barrett looked so terrified. His eyes were wide, his chest heaving as he struggled for breath.“I-I’m sorry, Y-your Majesty,” he stammered the moment I stepped toward him. His mouth trembled – no, his entire body trembled.“I-I didn’t mean to burst in unannounced – ”“What happened?” I demanded.Flynn stepped forward as well, flanking me with one hand on the sword at his side. I glanced past him and noticed the corridor was empty.“Where’s Aiden?”He was the King’s Guard assigned to tonight’s watch. He should have intercepted the servant and the lady, questioned their intentions, and prevented them from barging into my office. But he was nowhere in sight.A sick feeling twisted in my gut.“M-Mr. Moran h-has gone ahead,” Barrett stuttered, pointing with a trembling hand down the hall. He swallowed hard, struggling to maintain composure—and failing. “T-there’s been an accident… in the garden.”His hesitance scraped against my nerves.“Tell me what the hell happe
