Chapter 241
SAGE
“I didn’t do anything wrong! Please, this is all mistake!” I shouted, desperately trying to free myself from the iron grip of the royal guards. They dragged me forward, my struggles proving futile against their brute strength.
No matter how much I resisted, I was powerless in their grasp. My heart pounded with a mixture of fear and indignation. This couldn’t be happening.
Behind me, I could hear the ominous footsteps of Alpha Gordon, Holt, and Annika, their presence a dark cloud looming over me. They followed closely, their eyes burning into 111y back as we made our way to the grand palace, where Her Majesty awaited us.
Every step felt like a death march, the grandeur of the palace contrasting sharply with the dread settling in my stomach. My mind raced, searching for a way out, but all I could feel was the tightening grip of fear.
“Please listen to me! There’s been a misunderstanding!” I pleaded once more, but my words fell on deaf ears. The guards remained stoic, their expressions unyielding.
“Stop putting shame on our family, Sage. You’ve done enough damage,” Annika uttered while Holt was looking at me with warm eyes as if he wanted to help me.
But, as expected, he would never dare go against his father. He’d rather sacrifice me than get on his father’s bad side.
As we approached the towering doors of the palace, I felt a cold chill run down my spine. The opulence of the grand hallways, with their marble floors and golden accents, seemed to mock my helplessness. I glanced back at Alpha Gordon and Annika, their faces a mix of smug satisfaction and cold indifference.
Annika’s eyes met mine, and she smirked, a cruel glint in her gaze. “Don’t worry, sis. This will be over sooner,” she whispered, her voice barely audible but laced with
menace.
The doors to the throne room swung open, and I was thrust into the blinding light of the vast chamber. Her Majesty sat on her throne, her regal presence commanding the room. My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to stand tall, refusing to show any sign of
weakness.
Your Majesty,” one of the guards announced, we have brought Lady Sage as you. requested.”

Her Majesty’s eyes bore into me, her gaze cold and calculating. “Well, look, who do we have here?” she began, her voice like ice. “You stand accused of betrayal and deceit. How do you plead?”
I swallowed hard, my voice trembling as I replied, “I am innocent, Your Majesty. This is all a terrible misunderstanding”
Her Majesty raised an eyebrow, a small, skeptical smile playing on her lips. “Innocent, you say? Then are you denying that you entered the palace with tainted virtue?”
“Y–Your Majesty.
She smirked, her eyes gleaming with malice. “Seeing how you were lost for words, I’d take that as you confirming the accusation against you”
“Y–Your Majesty–1 stammered, trying to find my voice to defend myself once more. but Alpha Gordon swiftly interjected.
“Your Majesty, it is with the deepest regret that I inform you of the chaos she has brought to the palace. If we had known she was a tainted woman, we would never have. sent her here to disgrace the royal family”
“That’s a lie! You knew about it! I told you the truth, but you still chose to send me in place of your own daughter” I shouted, my anger flaring. How could he stand there and pretend innocence! I should have known that would happen. It wasn’t enough for him to send me to my demise, now he was fully forsaking me, handing me over to my
death.
Her Majesty’s eyes flicked between us, her expression unreadable. “Alpha Gordon,” she
aid, her voice measured, “are you suggesting that you were unaware of Lady Sage’s past?”
“Absolutely, Your Majesty Alpha Gordon replied smoothly, his face a mask of sincerity. “We were deceived by her as well. We would never have sullied your court with such dishonor.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Alpha Gordon confirmehowing his head slightly “Annika is pure, loyal, and has been raised with the utmost respect for the crown. She would be a far more suitable companion than this deceitful man.”

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...
