SAGE
“Jealous, are we?”

I scoffed, “Why would I be?” I replied, raising my eyebrow. “I’m just trying to understand your logic here. Why get a breeder when you have your queen?”
“That’s none of your goddamn business,” he replied coldly.
“It is my business,” I insisted. “We’re talking about my life, my body, and my child here. You can’t tell me it’s none of my
business.”
I saw him clench his jaw as if he was trying to control his anger. Probably, in some other situation, I would be frightened by now. But honestly, that’s far from what I am feeling right now. He’s slapping it on my face that he already has a new queen. I don’t see why he still needs me.
After a couple of minutes of deafening silence, he speaks again. “Just sign the paper, Sage, then we’re done here,” he ordered in between gritted teeth.
I put the papers back inside the envelope. Titus was frowning as he watched me like a hawk. His frown deepened when instead of signing it, I stood up from the chair and faced him head–on.
“I’m not going to sign a paper without reading its content. I’ll let you know if I need to make some changes,” I said.
I was startled when he slammed the table loudly. “You don’t get to have choices here, Sage. May I remind you that even though people here call you lady, you are nothing but a slave, a breeder,” he said. His icy blue eyes turned red in anger.
“You may call me anything you want, but I will not sign anything unless I know what I’m getting myself into. If you have a problem with that, you can end this now. It will save both of us the trouble of each other’s presence,” I bravely replied.
In a blink of an eye, he moved swiftly like the wind. One moment he was standing behind the desk; now he was standing in front of me, our bodies were pressed against each other while his hand was wrapped around my waist and the other one was holding my nape steadily.
I flinched when I felt his sharp claws digging against my nape. His eyes were still red. I can sense danger in his eyes, and for the first time, I regretted pushing him to his limit. I was acting brave when I told him to end it now, but now that there’s a big chance he would probably kill me, I realize that it’s not a good idea to challenge the most powerful lycan in the territory.
“You are frail like a human. Without your healing power, I could snap your neck in any minute, and you’ll be dead in a second,” he whispered, but his words were so loud that I could feel my body shaking.
I can feel a lump in my throat as he slowly takes the distance between our lips but stops right when our lips are brushing against one another. Instead of my lips, he pressed his lips against the corner of my lips and then continued brushing against my jawline.
I was taking a sharp breath as the heat brought by the closeness of our bodies started creeping through the fiber of my being. I gulped when I felt his lips against the burrow of my neck. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from creating any more sound when he started to run his tongue against my neck.
“I could bite off this part of your neck, and you’ll bleed to death,” he uttered.
“Ahhh…” I moan escapes my lips when he dug his teeth against my skin.
“Hmmm… you’re enjoying this as much as I do, right, kitten?”
It feels like a bucket of ice was poured over my head.

Chapter 155
Titus‘ words sent a jolt through me, snapping me back into reality like a cruel wake–up call. The heat, the tension, the intoxicating pull of his closeness–all of it vanished the moment I registered the amusement in his voice. He was toying with
I stiffened, pushing against his chest, but he didn’t budge. His grip on my waist remained firm, his fingers pressing into my skin like he was making sure I wouldn’t slip away. His breath was warm against my neck, his presence overwhelming, suffocating.
“Let go of me,” I spat, my voice sharp despite the tremor running through me.
“And if I don’t want to?” he asked, raising his eyebrow.
“Whatever game you’re playing, I want none of it.”
Titus chuckled lowly, the sound vibrating through my body. “Oh, but my sweet darling kitten, you’re already playing right into my hands.”
I clenched my jaw, refusing to let him see how much his touch affected me. “If you want me to sign those papers, you need to let me go.”
His grip on my nape tightened; his gaze burned with something unreadable, something that sent a shiver down my spine.
“I could force you,” he said, voice laced with dark amusement. “I could command you to do it, and you wouldn’t have a choice.”
I lifted my chin, meeting his challenge head–on. “Then why haven’t you? Because honestly, that’s the only way you can get me to sign those papers right now.”
Titus‘ eyes darkened; his fingers twitched against my skin before he finally released me, stepping back like he needed the distance just as much as I did.
“You should be grateful, Sage,” he murmured, his voice deceptively calm. “Most women would kill to be in your position.”
I let out a bitter laugh, rubbing the spot on my neck where his teeth had grazed. “Then give them my spot. I’m sure your queen wouldn’t mind.”
His expression hardened instantly, his jaw clenching so tightly I thought he might snap. But instead of answering, he turned away, running a hand through his silver hair as if reining himself in.
I took a shaky breath, trying to steady myself. Damn him. He knew exactly how to get under my skin, how to make me question everything, how to make my body betray me even when my mind screamed for distance.
But I wouldn’t let him win.
“Since we’re done here, I’ll be leaving,” I said, turning on my heel.
“Tonight,” he said, that makes me stop in my tracks.
I turned in his direction. I looked at him as if waiting for him to clarify it further.
“I’m giving you until tonight to sign those papers. If you refuse, I’ll use my Alpha command to make you do it. One way or another, you’re signing them.” His voice was cold, final. Then, as if the conversation no longer concerned him, he shifted his focus back to the documents on his desk, dismissing me without another glance.
I stood frozen, trying to process what had just happened. I thought I understood him, thought I knew exactly what he was capable of—but there was something about him now that didn’t add up. If he truly had no intention of giving me a choice, why wait? Why not force me now?
He claimed I had no power here, yet somehow, I still had a sliver of control. And that terrified me more than anything.

Chapter 155
Would he really use his Alpha command on me?
I wanted to believe he wouldn’t. But the man sitting before me, the one who barely spared me a glance as he drifted his focus back to the documents on his desk, wasn’t the same man from three years ago. This Titus was colder, sharper, and more ruthless.

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...
