The following days passed in a blur, each moment filled with endless preparations, hushed conversations, and the constant hum of excitement in the air. Elara and I found ourselves drowning in fabrics, floral arrangements, and ceremonial protocols, barely finding time to breathe between the whirlwind of decisions that needed to be made.
I had always imagined something small and intimate–a wedding where only those closest to us would gather, where I wouldn’t feel the weight of a thousand eyes watching my every move. I wanted a ceremony that wasn’t about the grandeur of royalty but about the love Titus and I shared. But, of course, Titus had other plans.
He wanted it as grand as possible. The day of our wedding will also be the day of my coronation, as he announced me being his queen and his luna.
Elara, of course, was over the moon. “This is going to be the most spectacular event in generations!” she gushed as she spread out different gown designs before me. “A royal wedding and a coronation? People will talk about this for centuries!”
I let out a soft laugh, shaking my head. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
She rolled her eyes, nudging me playfully. “Come now, my lady. You’ll look absolutely breathtaking, and His Majesty will be so enraptured by you that he won’t even notice the hundreds of guests in attendance.”
Despite the whirlwind of wedding and coronation preparations, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something else was going
- on.
Titus had been distant–not in a way that made me doubt his love, but in a way that told me he was preoccupied with something far more pressing. While I was drowning in silk swatches and flower arrangements with Elara, he was constantly locked in meetings, his expression sharp and unreadable. Whenever I caught glimpses of him in the halls, he looked deep in thought, as if he was bracing himself for something big.
And I was sure it wasn’t the wedding.
If it were, he would at least pretend to be involved. But aside from insisting that it had to be grand, he hadn’t so much as glanced at a single invitation or made a comment about the color schemes Elara kept pestering me about.
It wasn’t like him to be so uninterested in something this important.
“Are you okay, my lady?” Elara asked, her brows knitting together in concern as she noticed my silence.
I forced a small smile onto my lips, hoping to brush off the unease settling in my chest. “It’s nothing, Elara. I was just thinking about the wedding.”
She returned my smile, reaching out to give my hand a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” she assured me, her voice filled with confidence.
I nodded, though I wasn’t entirely convinced. We resumed our preparations, discussing floral arrangements and seating charts, but no matter how hard I tried to focus, a nagging feeling refused to let go. Something was off. Titus was keeping something from me–I was sure of it. And I couldn’t just ignore it any longer.
By the time evening rolled around, I had made up my mind. I would confront him tonight.
But as the hours stretched on, my resolve turned into frustration. The night came and went, and still, there was no sign of Titus. I paced the room, glancing at the door every few minutes, waiting for him to return.
I looked at the clock. Past one in the morning.
I knew he was the king, that his responsibilities were endless, but this was unusual–even for him. He had always made time for me, no matter how busy he was. So where was he now?

A chill ran down my spine at the thought that something might have happened to him. Shaking the idea away, I threw on a cloak and stepped out of my chambers. If he wasn’t coming to me, then I would go to him.
The castle halls were eerily quiet at this hour, save for the faint crackling of torches that lined the stone walls. My footsteps echoed softly as I made my way toward Titus’s office, my heart pounding harder with every step.
I wasn’t sure what I expected when I arrived–maybe to find him buried in documents, exhausted from his duties. But when I reached his office doors, they were slightly ajar. That was odd.
I hesitated for only a moment before pushing them open.
The room was dimly lit, a few candles flickering on his desk, illuminating a pile of parchment. But Titus wasn’t there.
I frowned, stepping further inside. The air was thick with something I couldn’t quite place–secrecy, tension, something just beyond my grasp. I trailed my fingers over the wooden desk, my eyes scanning the papers scattered across it.
Maps. Letters. Battle strategies.
My stomach twisted.
This wasn’t just about the wedding. This was something bigger. Something dangerous.
A rustling sound came from the corridor, and I turned sharply just as Titus stepped into the room.
His expression shifted the moment he saw me, surprise flickering in his eyes before it was quickly masked by something unreadable.
“Sage,” he said, his voice lower than usual. “What are you doing here?”
I lifted a parchment from the desk, holding it up for him to see. “I should be asking you the same thing.”
For the first time in a long while, I saw hesitation cross his face.
“Are you preparing for war?” My voice was quieter than I intended, but the weight of the words hung thick between us.

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...
