Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32
SAGE
After what happened in the grand hall, I went blank. The only thing I remember is that I was caught by a strong pair of hands before my body landed on the ground. His Majesty’s piercing blue eyes were the last thing I saw before everything went black
When I opened my eyes, all the pain was gone. I slowly got up and was welcomed by the familiarity of my chamber. Elara was standing close to the window as she was arranging what seemed to be a freshly picked flower from the garden.
“Elara?” I called out, my voice h**e and weak. She turned towards me, her eyes widening in surprise as she quickly bolted to my side.
“My lady, you’re awake!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement and relief.
“What happened?” I asked, my mind still foggy and struggling to piece together the events that had led me here.
“You’ve been unconscious for the past three days,” she explained, her hands fluttering nervously as she spoke.
“I was?” I echoed, the shock of her words settling in. I had no idea I had been out for that long. The last thing I remembered was the searing pain and the darkness that had swallowed me whole.
“Yes, my lady,” Elara continued, her expression a mix of concern and relief. “His Majesty brought you back to your chamber after the incident in the grand hall. You’ve been under constant care ever since.”
“His Majesty,” I repeated, confusion mingling with the remnants of fear and pain. “Did he come here while I’m out?”
“I’m afraid he hasn’t stepped foot in here since the day he brought you here, my lady,” Elara replied, her voice softening. “But why don’t you lay down for a bit? Your body needs time to heal
As I lay back against the pillows, my mind raced with questions and uncertainties. What had happened in those three days I had been unconscious? And most importantly, what was to become of me now?
I tried to remain on the bed, but I couldn’t ignore the gnawing urgency inside me. My mind raced with questions, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to rest until I spoke with His Majesty. I needed to know what would happen now that our circumstances had changed.
Determined, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood up, wincing as the pain coursed through my body. “Elara,” I called out, my voice steadier than I felt. “Please send a word to His Majesty. Request an audience with him. I need to speak with him.”
Elara’s eyes widened with concern. “My lady, are you sure you’re well enough to leave your bed? You should be resting
“I think I’m okay now. Your taking care of me for the past few days has helped a lot. Thank you,” I said. “Please, Elara. It’s important.” I insisted.
She hesitated for a moment before nodding. “As you wish, my lady. I will send a message to His Majesty right away.” With that, she hurried out of the room, leaving me alone with my swirling thoughts.
As I waited. I paced the room, each step a reminder of my fragile state. The minutes felt like hours, stretching on endlessly until finally. Elara returned, her expression unreadable.
“I apologize, my lady. His Majesty is currently out of the palace. But I have relayed your message, my lady, Elara said softly.

“Oh, okay” I tried not to sound disappointed, but I couldn’t hide the sinking feeling in my chest. As I thought about it, I began to wonder how I should react in front of His Majesty now that everything had come out into the open.
Until now, I still couldn’t believe that the man I spent the night with was His Majesty. Had he planned this all along, or was a pure coincidence? Was this what they called fate!
I gently caressed my nape, expecting to feel His Majesty’s mark. To my surprise, there was no trace of it, as if it had never happened. Even though much of that gight was a blur, the pain of his bite was as clear as day. How was it possible that the mark seemed to have vanished!
Confusion and frustration swirled within me. Was it all a dream? Had I imagined it? The bite had been real, and the bond in created was supposed to be unbreakable. Yet, there is no physical evidence of it now.
“Elara.” I called her again, my voice tinged with uncertainty. “When I was out, did you notice anything? Or did something happen beyond usual?”
Elara frowned, shaking her head slightly. “Unusual, my lady? No, aside from your injuries, everything seemed normal You’ve been taken care of by the best doctors from the Royal Infirmary”
I nodded, but her words did little to ease my confusion. “Thank you, Elara. You may go.”
As she left, sat back down on the edge of the bed, my mind racing What did this mean? Had His Majesty done something to erase the mark? Or was there some other explanation?
I had so many questions and so few answers. The more I thought about it, the more determined I became to get to the bottom of this mystery. His Majesty’s absence only added to my unease. What was he planning? Why had he saved me, only to leave me in this state of uncertainty?
I took a deep breath, resolving to stay strong. When His Majesty returned, I would demand the answers I deserved. Until then. I would prepare myself for whatever might come next. My fate was now tied to his in ways I couldn’t yet fully understand, and I had to be ready for anything
It was already dark, and I still hadn’t heard anything from His Majesty. One of the maids mentioned he had returned to the palace an hour ago, but I had been waiting since then for him to summon me. Pacing back and forth in my room, my fingers fidgeted nervously. In my mind, I ran through the list of questions I needed to ask him.
A soft knock on the door startled me. I took a deep breath and opened it, surprised to find a few maids lined up outside. One girl, standing next to Elara, held a tray with soap and perfume.
“Elara, what’s happening?” I asked, confusion evident in my voice.
“Good evening, my lady. Please allow us to help you with the preparation,” Elara said, not offering much context.
“Preparation? Preparation for what?”
“You are chosen to grace His Majesty tonight, my lady,” she replied “Please continue preparing the tub,” Elara ordered the other girls, who quickly responded, bustling into the room with a sense of urgency.
I stood there, stunned, as they moved about with practiced efficiency. My thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions- nervousness, curiosity, and a flicker of anticipation. What’s going on here? I asked an audience with His Majesty to talk to

him about not spending the night with him!

Elara approached me, her expression gentle yet firm. “Please, my lady, let us assist you,” she said, guiding me towards the
bath
“W-Wait. Did you tell his aide why I asked to have an audience with him? He probably misunderstood it,” I asked Elara.
“I clearly sent your message, my lady, the answered.
“Then why is he suddenly choosing me to grace him tonight?” My eyes widened with each word.
“I’m afraid I have no answer for that, my lady. We are only here to assist you with the preparation.”
It seems like I have no choice but to go on with the preparation. I allowed them to help, sinking into the warm water as the maids began their work. They washed and scented me with a variety of fragrant oils; their hands were gentle but efficient. My thoughts kept drifting to what awaited me with His Majesty,
Once, I was cleaned and dressed in a delicate nightgown of the finest silk. Elara gave me an approving nod. “You look stunning, my lady”
I blushed as I felt naked as the thin fabric hugged every curve of my body. I just gave her an awkward smile as a response.
“His Majesty’s aide will come and pick you up, my lady. They’ll be here in a few minutes,” Elara said.
I lost count of how many deep breaths I took. I was scared and nervous, even though this wasn’t the first time I was going to spend the night with him. However, this would be our first night after the wedding, away from the masks we used to hide behind.
The anticipation gnawed at me, making every second feel like an eternity, I glanced at the ornate mirror, seeing a stranger in the reflection-a woman who had faced so much turmoil yet stood resilient.
A soft knock at the door jolted me from my thoughts. Elara opened it to reveal Beta Scoot, dressed in formal attire. He bowed slightly, acknowledging my presence. I was surprised to see him. I wasn’t expecting him to be the one picking me up
“Lady Sage, good evening.” Scott greeted. “I hate to be the bearer of the news, but…” he hesitated, as if searching for the right words. “I’m afraid His Majesty has to cancel tonight’s event. His Majesty is not feeling well and has wished to be left alone in his chamber.”
I blinked in surprise, my carefully built anticipation crumbling. “Oh,” I said, struggling to hide my disappointment. “Is he.. will he be alright?”
Scott nodded. “Yes, my lady. His Majesty just needs some rest. He instructed me to convey his apologies and to assure you that he will meet with you as soon as possible.”
“I see,” I replied, trying to process the sudden change. “Thank you for letting me know.”
“You’re welcome, my lady. And please refrain from going outside tonight,” he reminded me. “Please inform the others as well,” he said when he turned to Elara.
Scott bowed again before stepping back and closing the door.
I stood there, feeling a mix of relief and frustration, when I noticed the horror in Elara’s face.
“It’s tonight, she whispered.
“What is it. Elara?” I asked.

Chapter 22
“Oh, nothing It’s just that there are nights that we’re not supposed to leave our room until the morning comes
“Why is that?”
“We’re not supposed to ask questions, my lady. So, I really have no idea
I blew a loud sigh when, once again, my questions were answered with more questions.
Elara came to my side, her expression one of sympathy and concern.
“Im sorry, my lady” she said softly. Perhaps it’s for the best. His Majesty’s health is of utmost importance”
“Of course, I agreed, though my heart still ached with the longing for answers and the connection we were yet to build “You’re right, Elara
She gave me a gentle smile. “Would you like me to help you change into something more comfortable?”
I nodded “Yes, please
As Elara and the other maids helped me out of the nightgown and into a more simple, comfortable nightgown, my mind wandered. The questions I had for His Majesty would have to wat, but they still burned in my mind. What did he think of everything that had happened? How does he view me now, knowing the truth?
Once I was settled, Elara brought me a cup of calming tea. I sipped it slowly, trying to soothe my restless thoughts. The palace was quiet, the night stretching out ahead of me with an unexpected emptiness.
H**d out the window at the darkened sky, the stars t**ng in the vast expanse. I couldn’t help but get worried about His Majesty’s health. I wondered how he was right now. I was sure he was well taken care of, but I still couldn’t shake the worry gnawing at me.
I owed him my life, so the least I could do was help him get back to his health. That’s when I decided I wanted to see him myself to check up on him.
“He wouldn’t mind if I paid him a visit tonight, right?” I murmured to myself, trying to convince myself more than anyone
cive.
Gathering my courage, I slipped on a robe over my nightgown and quietly left my room. The palace corridors were dimly lit, and the silence was almost eerie. I made my way towards His Majesty’s chambers, my footsteps soft against the marble Boors.
I wondered why there’s no one here guarding his chamber. It may look unusual, but I don’t really know how palaces work, so I’m not sure if this is normal.
As I approached his door, I paused, my hand hovering over the handle.
As I stepped cautiously into the room, a faint sound caught my attention-a low, menacing growl emanating from the shadows. My heart ski**ed a beat as I turned towards the source, my eyes widening in shock.
There, in the darkest corner of the chamber, stood His Majesty. But he was no longer the composed ruler I knew. His eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity, bloodshot and feral. His features contorted, revealing sharp fangs protruding from his mouth. A devilish smirk played on his lips as he regarded me with an unsettling gaze.
You thouldn’t be here,” he growled, his voice tinged with a dangerous edge. “But I’m glad you’re here, my kitten”
I recoiled instinctively, my breath catching in my throat as fear and confusion washed over me. This couldn’t be real. The man before me was a monstrous caricature of the king I had admired-a creature of the night, primal and untamed
