SAGE
The morning started beautifully, filled with laughter, warmth, and the simple joy of being together. The twins bickered playfully over who got the last piece of fruit; Titus watched with amusement as he sipped his coffee, and for a brief moment, everything felt perfect.
But as soon as the meal ended, reality came knocking. Responsibilities waited for no one, and our time of ease was short- lived.
The twins had an overwhelming amount of lessons to catch up on. History, diplomacy, strategy, and combat–each subject was crucial in preparing them for the roles they would one day take on. There was no room for error, no luxury of a slow- paced childhood. They were heirs to the kingdom, and that came with a price.
Technically, Harper was the eldest–I had given birth to her mere moments before Cooper. But by the kingdom’s laws, a female heir could only take the throne in the absence of a male successor. That meant Cooper was next in line to rule. However, the burden of leadership wasn’t his alone to bear. Both of them needed the same training, the same knowledge, for the sake of the kingdom’s stability. Should anything ever happen to Cooper, Harper needed to be prepared to step in without hesitation.
Titus had already assigned the best scholars and warriors to oversee their education. It was a rigorous path, but it was necessary. They weren’t just any children–they were the future of the kingdom.
I watched as they were led away, their excitement laced with determination. They were still adjusting to their sudden growth, but their spirits remained unshaken.
Titus stood beside me, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. “They’ll be fine,” he assured me, sensing my worry.
I nodded, though my heart still ached. “I know. I just… I don’t want them to lose themselves in all of this.”
He turned to me then, his gaze softening. “They won’t. They have you.”
Titus must have sensed that my mind was still on the twins because, before I could dwell any further, he took my hand and gently pulled me toward the door.
“Come with me,” he said, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.
I raised an eyebrow. “Where are we going?”
“You’ll see,” was his only response.
Curiosity sparked inside me as we walked down the corridor, his hand warm and steady around mine. Titus was rarely one for surprises, so whatever he had planned must have been important. He led me to a part of the palace I hadn’t visited in a long time, stopping in front of a grand wooden door.
“Go ahead,” he urged.
I hesitated for a second before pushing the door open. The sight that greeted me made me freeze.
“Elara?” I gasped.
Standing in the middle of the room was Elara, her face breaking into a warm smile the moment she saw me.
“My lady,” she greeted, her eyes glistening with emotion.
I couldn’t believe it. After everything that had happened, I had thought I would never see her again. Without a second thought, I rushed forward and threw my arms around her, holding on as tightly as I could.

“You’re here!” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion.
“I never left, my lady. I have always been here, waiting for the day you’d return.”
I pulled back just enough to look at her, my eyes searching her face. She looked the same, but there was a newfound strength in her gaze.
Titus chuckled from behind us. “Should I get jealous that you weren’t as warm to me when we met again?”
“If I weren’t being an ass then, I might have given you a hug,” I replied.
Titus let out a deep, amused laugh, shaking his head. “Fair enough, kitten. Fair enough.”
Elara chuckled softly beside me. “Some things never change,” she murmured, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
I turned back to her, still unable to believe she was really here. “How have you been? Are you alright?”
She gently squeezed my hands, cutting off my rambling. “I’m doing good, my lady. I have to apologize that I wasn’t here to welcome you when you returned. I’ve been busy in the academy.”
I frowned, “Academy?”
She smiled proudly. “I’ve been taking classes for quite some time now. I’ve only a few months left before I finally become a mage.”
My eyes widened in surprise. “That’s good news!” I exclaimed.
“It’s all thanks to you and His Majesty.”
“You have a gift, Elara. You deserve to be where you are today,” Titus commended.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. I couldn’t be here without your help,” she replied.
“How long are you going to be here, Elara?” I asked.
“I’ll be here for as long as you need. I understand that it could be tiring to plan a wedding, isn’t it?” she said.
The wedding. Yeah, right. I almost forgot about it. I was already content with what we have right now, so planning the wedding isn’t part of my priority.
Titus let out a low chuckle, sensing my hesitation. “What’s with that expression, kitten? Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet?”
I shot him a look, crossing my arms. “Of course not! It’s just… with everything happening, the wedding wasn’t exactly at the forefront of my mind.”
Elara smirked knowingly. “That’s why I’m here, my lady. To take some of the burden off your shoulders.”
I sighed, rubbing my temples. “It’s not just the planning. I guess part of me feels like… do we really need a grand ceremony? We’re already bound to each other.” My fingers instinctively brushed over the ring on my finger,
Titus took a step closer, his eyes softening. “I want to make things right. I want to give you everything that you deserve. That includes parading you to the world and announcing how lucky I am that I have you as my queen.” He tilted my chin up with his finger. “Besides, this will also serve as your crowning ceremony.”
His words sent warmth spreading through my chest, making my heart ache in the best way.
Elara clasped her hands together, her excitement practically radiating off her. “I can’t wait to plan everything!”

Titus chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re more excited than the bride herself, Elara.”
Elara grinned unapologetically. “Of course! After everything, don’t you think this moment deserves to be celebrated

properly?” She turned to me, eyes shining with determination. “I promise, my lady, this won’t be stressful for you at all. I’ll take care of everything–you just have to tell me what you want.”
I let out a small laugh, the weight in my chest easing. “You’re really set on this, aren’t you?”
“Absolutely,” she said without hesitation.

Is it finished?...
...i mean...you had the perfect ending...why keep going?? ugh...i feel like author is going to continue with twists and turns [-_-]...
Don't mean to be rude but half the chapters are missing. As in your only publishing Half the chapter. Not all of it...
Would love more chapters...
ok just as a recap because i'm getting confused with this plot: sage (the daughter of the ex-alpha who was killed for betraying his pack) is contracted to marry the lycan king bc the present alpha doesn't want to give his own daughter to the king. sage sleeps with someone before the wedding (turns out to be the king). there's a caper at the palace where the king doesn't let her look at him bc he wants to keep her guessing for some reason but eventually she finds out that man she slept with is her husband now. there are other concubines and a queen but for some reason titus still doesn't have an heir despite being like thousands of years old. there is a prophecy that a red wolf will destroy the evil inside the king and when it comes to pass titus looks like he dies. sage runs away (she is the red wolf) bc shes scared of being called a killer. when she comes back titus has been manipulated to believe her "sister" is his mate. there's an intermission where sage runs away with her handmaiden to new york and they start a life for themselves. until titus buys out the company bc he's filthy rich and drags her back. the sister gets punished and jailed to be killed, but sage's intervention (due to her previous feelings for the brother) prevents her death. there's a point when the royal elders storm the castle and titus is jailed and almost at the point of death. taking the beta and her handmaiden they rescue titus and restore him to health. while sage was in new york, titus had somehow found his dead wife again (anna?) and she's very childlike and annoying. all the times sage saves titus doesn't matter because he's been deposed as king and brainwashed by his dead wife to believe she's everything to him. titus dissolves the bond between he and sage (bc of pressure from previous wife) but still has feelings for her and still sleeps with her while trying to reclaim his throne by making alliances with other werewolf packs. a bounty hunter offers his help but demands sage as the price. titus says no, but sage goes behind his back anyway and makes the deal. thinking titus is blinded by sage's presence that prevents him from forming alliance with a pack and having that alpha's daughter as his queen, she runs way with the bounty hunter and he puts her up for sale (she's an idiot for doing this). finding out she's pregnant with an accelerated pregnancy (due to blood moon sex?) she runs away from the auction house and is rescued by a couple who never had kids miles away from where she ran away. 3 years or so pass and she is happy with her chosen family until the bounty hunter finds her again and she goes with him to keep him away from her kids only to be rescued by titus at the auction house. he also finds her kids (bc they obvy would run away to find her) but she for some reason convinces them to lie and say they're not her kids. reunited again, they come across rogue wolves who hurt titus, but they somehow all fit into the helicopter that comes at the right time to save them all. titus while being gravely ill still saves sage from being sentenced to death, but now her kids are in danger....
ok now im reinvested! I hope the kids will be ok! titus now would be a good time to wake up!...
If possible, kindly change the title of the book too because Sage is suppose to be happy with Titus but this back and forth is making the book boring...
Please this has to stop , Titus is suppose to be her savior but she's going through too much...
This book really started good. And for whatever reason, the author keeps on adding boring and nonsensical twist to the story. I'm just skipping through chapters and story still the same.repeating issues and conflict and convo. So tiring. I'm just checking in hoping I can read the ending. Lolz...
We need an end soon. It getting boting and is so boring. Also people is missing. Were is her former maid and scott used to be her friend now he treat her like a stranger...
