Betrayed by an Alpha claimed by a Lycan King (Sage and Titus) novel Chapter 107
Chapter 107
SAGE
After sealing the deal, Scott and I returned to the hotel, exhaustion weighing heavy on us. The streets were quiet, and the world hushed in the way only the dead of night could bring. By the time we made it back to our rooms, it was already past midnight. I didn't need to sneak in this time-Scott's presence was enough to deflect any suspicion if someone happened to see us.
Scott walked me to my door, his expression a mix of concern and exasperation. He was clearly still uneasy about everything that had transpired but wasn't about to push the subject further tonight.
"Thank you for coming with me, Scott," I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper.
He offered me a tired but genuine smile. "It's my pleasure looking after you, Sage. We owe you a huge favor for what you just did."
I forced a smile, hoping it would mask the heaviness in my chest.
"Let's not talk about it now. You should go and get some rest. I'm sure you're tired."
He hesitated, as if considering whether to argue, but eventually nodded. "Alright. Good night, Sage. Try to get some sleep."
"You too," I replied. I waited until his footsteps faded down the hallway before I turned and unlocked my door.
The moment I stepped inside, the darkness wrapped around me like a blanket. I closed the door behind me and exhaled, finally allowing myself a moment of quiet. The room was steeped in shadows, the only light spilling in faintly through the large windows. I started to move toward the bed when a subtle movement caught my eye. My heart jumped to my throat as I spotted a dark figure sitting silently in the chair near the corner.
I was about to scream, my instincts taking over, when a familiar baritone voice broke through the stillness.
"Where have you two been?"
The calm authority in his tone sent a chill through me. My hand froze halfway to the dagger tucked at my side. I couldn't see his face clearly, but the silver light from the moon was enough to outline his broad shoulders, his unmistakable presence filling the room.
"T-Titus?" I stammered, my voice trembling, barely more than a whisper in the oppressive silence of the room.
"Answer the question, Sage," he said, his voice low and steady, each word heavy with unspoken threat. It wasn't loud, but it carried the weight of a storm brewing just beneath the surface.
I took a shaky step back, my hand instinctively brushing against the wall behind me. "What are you doing here in my room? How did you even get inside?" I deflected, firing back questions of my own in a desperate attempt to stall.
"I own this fcking hotel; I have every right to be in every damn room in this building. Now, answer the damn question, Sage!" He snapped, his voice erupting like a clap of thunder. His eyes burned
with an unnatural red glow, a hauntingly familiar sign of the beast lurking within him. The raw intensity in his gaze froze me in place.
"I... I wanted to take a walk," I finally managed, my voice wavering under the weight of his fury. "Get some fresh air. Scott offered to accompany me."
"Liar." The word sliced through the air, quiet but venomous.
Before I could react, he closed the distance between us in the blink of an eye. One moment, he was across the room; the next, I was pressed firmly against the wall. His hands were on his neck, gently pressing around it, and his body loomed so close that I could feel the heat radiating from him. My breath hitched as his piercing eyes locked onto mine.
"Are you having an affair with my Beta?" The accusation dripped with venom, his voice low and dangerous as his chest rose and fell with barely restrained rage.
"What? No!" | exclaimed, my voice cracking as I struggled against the sheer force of his presence.
"Don't lie to me, Sage," Titus growled, his voice a mix of anger and desperation that sent a shiver through me. He leaned in so close that I could feel his breath brushing against my face, and it felt like all the space between us had disappeared.
"I'm not lying!" | shot back, my voice louder than I intended. My chest tightened as I tried to keep my emotions in check, but they were threatening to overwhelm me. "And even if what you're saying was true, why does it matter? I'm free to do whatever I want, Titus! I can date whoever I choose!"

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...
