Chapter 112
SAGE
Titus’s voice was sharp and laced with accusation as he stepped ebser, his every movement controlled but filled with restrained anger. “I was wondering,” he began, his tone dripping with sarcasm, “how the hell your ex–boyfriend managed to beat us here with such obvious knowledge of why we came in the first place.”
I could see where this was going, and it infuriated me. I refused to let him drag me into his baseless accusations. Crossing my arms, I stood my ground. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say,” I said firmly, my voice cool and steady.
“Oh, don’t play innocent with me,” he shot back, his eyes narrowing as he closed the distance between us, “You’re the one feeding your little boyfriend the information, aren’t you?”
His words hit like a slap, and I felt my temper flare. Scoffing, I met his accusing gaze head–on. “And what exactly do you think I’d gain from doing something like that?” I snapped, my irritation boiling over.
Titus’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching at his sides, but he didn’t back down. His silence only added to my frustration, the tension between us crackling like a live wire.
Titus leaned in slightly, his towering frame casting a shadow over me as his eyes burned with suspicion. “I don’t know,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “Maybe you’re planning to betray me. There’s probably something between you two. I wouldn’t be surprised.”
His accusation hit like a slap, but I stood my ground, refusing to let him see the turmoil inside me. “Are you serious right now?” I asked, my voice rising in frustration. “You think I’d betray you for… for what?”
Titus took a step closer, his eyes narrowing as his words came out like a snarl. “Who knows? But then again, how can you explain it, Sage? Why is your ex–boyfriend here, and how does he know things about our mission?”
I threw my hands in the air, the frustration boiling over. “I don’t have an explanation, Titus! But that doesn’t mean I’m the one feeding him information. Do you really think I’d side with anyone against you?”
He scoffed, his anger simmering just below the surface. “You’re awfully defensive for someone who claims to be innocent.”
My chest tightened, the accusation slicing through me like a blade. “Defensive?” I echoed, my voice trembling with the effort to stay calm. “You’re accusing me of betraying you with no proof, Titus. Of course, I’m defensive!”
Titus stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he crossed his arms. “No proof?” he said, his tone sharp. “His presence alone was more than enough proof. If it wasn’t you, then who told him?”
I clenched
my
fists at my sides, fighting the urge to yell. “I don’t know, Titus! But it wasn’t me! Why can’t you believe that?” “He’s your ex, Sage! Who’s to say you’re not loyal to him anymore?” he snapped, his voice rising.
“That’s not fair!” I shot back, my voice shaking with emotion. “Holt and I were like a family, yes! But that doesn’t prove anything!”
His jaw clenched, and for a moment, he didn’t respond. The tension between us was suffocating. Finally, he broke the silence, his voice low but cutting. “I don’t care what’s going on between the two of you. What I don’t like is him at my and you… defending him.”
throat
I took a shaky breath, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions threatening to break free. “I’m not defending him,” I said quietly. “I’m trying to make you see that blaming me without reason isn’t going to solve anything. I’ve done nothing wrong, Titus. But if my word means so little to you, then maybe I shouldn’t bother. And if you don’t trust me, I don’t know what I am still doing here.”
His words hit me harder than I expected, cutting deeper than I cared to admit. His eyes stayed locked on mine, hard and

unyielding, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of something–regret, hesitation, maybe even guilt–but it was gone before I could be sure.
“I don’t have any reason to trust you. I don’t know you,” Titus sa, his tone flat and cold.
The truth felt like a punch to my gut, knocking the wind out of me. I forced a bitter smile onto my face, trying to mask the sting of his words. “Right,” I said quietly, my voice strained. “I almost forgot about that.” My hands clenched at my sides as I tried to keep my emotions in check. “If you don’t want me here, just say the word. I can leave.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Betrayed by an Alpha claimed by a Lycan King (Sage and Titus)
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...
