Chapter 150
SAGE

“Should we bring you to the hospital, Sage? I’m really worried about you,” Gertrude worried as she patted a wet towel over my forehead.
I’ve been grunting and screaming in pain since Titus and I ended our conversation. Despite that excruciating pain I’ve been feeling right now, I can’t take the risk of going back to Titus before I can find my children.
“No, I’m fine, Gertrude. The doctors can’t do anything about my situation,” I replied in between breaths.
“But you’re burning and in pain. There’s got to be something we can do to ease your pain,” Gertrude insisted.
I forced a smile on my face. “Honestly, the only thing that can stop this pain is if I go back,” I admitted.
“Go back? Go back where?” Robert asked, frowning as he stood behind Gertrude, who was sitting on the edge of my
bed.
“It’s for the best if I don’t involve you in this. You have more than enough help. It will be too much if you’re going to be involved in this mess.”
“Sage, we’re your family now. We’d like to help, Robert insisted.
I’m really moved by their concern, but I couldn’t take the risk of them facing Titus’s wrath. He’s mad at me, and he might use them to hurt me. I couldn’t afford to have them involved in this mess.
“I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me and my children. But please trust me when I say I can handle this,” I assured them.
They both turned to each other with worried look on their faces. When they leaving everything in my hands.

“We’ll leave you then so you can get rest. If you need anything, we’ll be right outside,”
ertrude said.
“Thank you,” I replied before they left. As soon as they were gone I let out a grunt that I had been holding back for quite a while. I was in unbearable pain, but I couldn’t show it to them as it would only make them worried despite the pain seeping through my bones. “Fuck you, Titus!” I cursed out loud.
Speaking of the devil, I heard Titus’s voice over my head. “Why am I was
I seeing you in your room?” he asked; irritation
evident in his voice.
“I told you I’m not going back yet,” I replied.
“Fck!” he cursed, and I could practically feel his frustration through our bond. “You are so goddamn stubborn!”
Then–pain. Excruciating pain.
“Ahh!” I screamed as the leg bracelet constricted tighter, cutting off my circulation. The pressure was unbearable, sending white–hot agony searing through my nerves. I could already see my skin turning a sickening shade of purple.
“You’re going to lose your damn leg if you don’t come back!” Titus roared through our mind link, his fury vibrating through my skull
A bitter laugh bubbled in my throat despite the pain. “I guess you wouldn’t mind having a breeder with one leg, huh?” I shot back sarcastically, clinging desperately to the last thread of hope that maybe, just maybe, he still cared enough to let me go.
That he wouldn’t actually let me suffer like this. That he’d finally release me.

My heart nearly stopped when I heard his voice in my head.
“I’m coming to get you, Sage.“/
Dread clawed up my spine, wrapping around my throat like an iron chain.
No, no, no!

I could barely breathe, my chest tightening as panic took hold. I had known this moment would come. I knew that he wouldn’t let me go that easily. But hearing it now, the finality in His words sent me into a full–blown panic.
He was coming for me.

I gripped my leg where the cursed bracelet still burned, the pain a cruel reminder that I was never truly free. My entire body trembled as I realized what this meant. The signals from the bracelet would lead him straight to me, like a predator locking onto its prey.
He knew exactly where I was. He was probably already on his way.
My stomach twisted violently. I wasn’t afraid for myself. I could handle whatever punishment Titus had planned. But Gertrude and Robert? They were innocent. They had done nothing but offer me kindness, yet if Titus found out they had been hiding me, there was no telling what he would do to them.
I had seen his wrath before.
I knew what he was capable of.
I couldn’t let him see me here.
I forced myself to stand, ignoring the sharp jolt of pain that shot up my leg. Every second I wasted was disaster.
“Think, Sage. Think!” I urged myself, my mind racing for a plan.
I needed to leave now.
I couldn’t let him find me in this house. I couldn’t let Gertrude and Robert suffer for my choices. I had he arrived.

I stumbled out of the room, each step sending a sharp, agonizing jolt through my leg. The pain was unbearable, but I bit my lip hard, forcing myself to keep moving. I had to. There was no time to waste.
The moment I stepped into the small living room, Robert’s and Gertrude’s eyes widened in shock.
“Sage!” Gertrude gasped, rushing toward me. “What are you doing? You need to rest!”

Robert stepped in front of the door, arms crossed, his expression a mix of concern and frustration. “You’re in no condition to be walking around, let alone leaving. Where do you think you’re going?”
I swallowed the lump in my throat. I hated that I was making them worry. They had done so much for me already, and now I was repaying them by running off in the middle of the night like a fugitive.
I have to go, I said, my voice strained but firm.
Gertrude’s hands trembled as she reached for me, her face filled with worry. “But you can’t even walk properly, sweetheart! How will you leave in that condition?”
“I can handle myself. Don’t worry about me. I’m stronger than ok,” I assured them, gripping the wall for support.

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...
