Chapter 52
SAGE
My confusion grew when I noticed that we were headed in a different direction instead of going back to the palace. And then, I remember my encounter with His Majesty a while ago in my office. He’s pro bly staying in one of the hotels here and wanted to see the face of his enemy before heading back.
However, it still makes me wonder why the hell these people are treating us nicely. I wasn’t even in handcuffs. It makes me think that they’ve been being nice to me because they know that the moment I stand before the Lycan King, that will be the end of me.
My heart stopped with the thought of it. But I already made peace with it. I already accepted that this time will come and that I will meet my end sooner or later. I was just worried that Elara would be caught in between this chaos. She did nothing but help me. I felt guilty that she would be in a terrible situation because of that.
I was so lost in my thought that I didn’t notice that we were already parked outside the hotel. I was confused when I saw Beta Scott standing beside the car, and it seems like he already opened the car door for me.
“What the hell is happening?” I murmured to myself.
Despite my confusion, I carefully get out of the car.
“Please follow me, my lady,” Beta Scott said before leading the way.
Before I did, I turned around to check on Elara. The furrow on my forehead deepened when I saw her smiling and making conversation with the guards. Elara seems to notice the pair of eyes that was looking at her, so she turned towards my directions. I was caught off guard when she waves at me with excitement.
“She’ll be fine, my lady. Don’t worry about her,” Beta Scott assured.

“That’s not what I’m worried about, honestly,” I blurted out. I blew a loud sigh before I continued to follow him.
We were silent during the elevator ride. Many unpleasant thoughts are circling around my head. I was wondering whether I will be able to get out of this hotel alive.
After a few minutes, we finally reached the top floor. Te elevator door opened, and I immediately noticed the only door on that floor as soon as we stepped out. Beta Scott led the way to the door. He punched a few numbers, which I assumed to be the passcode. After a few minutes, the door opened.
I have nothing to describe what I’m feeling right now. Is this how people on death row feel when they’re about to meet their end?
We slowly walked inside his hotel room, the door clicking shut behind us. The soft glow of ambient lighting bathed the space in a warm, golden hue, casting elegant shadows on the polished marble floors and the tastefully arranged modern art pieces. My heart pounded with the looming threat of danger hanging over me like a dark cloud. Yet, despite the ominous circumstances, I found myself momentarily distracted by the sheer beauty of the room.
Plush velvet couches in deep, rich tones invited relaxation, while floor-to- ceiling windows framed a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The soft murmur of a classical piano piece played in the background, filling the room with an air of sophistication that was almost comforting.
I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander, taking in every detail-the sleek, minimalist design, the luxurious fabrics, the subtle scent of fresh roses that lingered in the air. I almost laughed at the irony of it all. Here I was, possibly standing on the brink of death, and yet, in this moment, I was surrounded by such elegance.
If this was to be my end, I don’t have any complaints. I wouldn’t mind dying here, in this room that seemed to belong to a world far removed from the one I had known.
I held my breath the moment I saw his familiar back. He was standing —1-

glass wall, sipping from his glass while his other hand was inside his pocket.
“Your Majesty, Lady Sage, is here,” Beta Scott announced. He bowed his head without waiting for a response.
I felt a surge of panic when I saw that he was about to leave. In fear that I won’t be able to say whatever I have to say as soon as I am left alone with s Majesty, I gather all my courage to speak.
“I know I’m in no position to ask this, but please, can His Majesty confirm to me what Beta Scott said a while ago regarding the safety of Elara?” I bravely
asked.
“You’re more worried about the safety of your attendant than yours?” said his deep baritone voice without even glancing in my direction.
“As I said, she did nothing wrong. I’m going to face all the charges against her as long as you promised me her safety,” I insisted.
He chuckled before slowing and turning around to face me. I felt shivers down my spine as soon as I saw the chilling smirk playing on his lips.
“For someone who said she’s no position to make demands, you’re quite demanding, kitten,” he responded.
Hearing those same endearments he used to call me brought back a lot of memories and perhaps feelings that I was trying hard to forget.
“Just answer me, Your Majesty,” I pleaded. I’m already desperate to make sure that Elara’s safety is secured before I face my death.
“You can leave now, Scott,” he ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Beta Scott replied before bowing his head slightly.
Panic surged through my body when I saw him slowly leaving the room. “B- But wait—” I was startled as soon as I heard the clicking sound of the door.
I had an urge to run away from this place as soon as possible. But how? Beta Scott will surely be just outside the door; trying to escape will surely be no use.

I was staring at the door, fighting my urge to escape. But all those thoughts quickly vanished when I felt a domineering presence behind me.
I held my breath when I felt a warm, minty breath brushing against my ear. “It’s nice to see you again, kitten.”

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...
