Chapter 56
SAGE
I keep on struggling inside the car. I was doing everything I could to escape from him whenever I got a chance. I even tried to open the car door and jumped from it. But Titus was quick to grab my waist and pull me back inside. And that’s the reason why my hands were tied up behind my back.
“We’re here,” Titus announced. He went ahead and stepped out of the car before offering his hand for assistance.
I scowled at him, knowing full well that he was teasing me. My hands were securely tied behind my back, which makes it impossible for me to reach for his hand even if I wanted to. He knew that, and yet he found it amusing to pretend otherwise.
A chuckle escaped his lips that was followed by that infuriatingly mischievous. smirk as he caught me glaring at him. “We wouldn’t be in this situation if you knew how to behave,” he commented with his annoyingly smug look.
I rolled my eyes in response, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a verbal reply. Instead, I focused on the struggle of getting out of the car. The moment I tried to stand, he reached out to help me with his grip, firm but surprisingly gentle. I jerked away from his touch, shoving his hand off with a defiant shake of my shoulder.
As soon as I was out of the car, I quickly scanned the area, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. But my hopes were dashed when I saw nothing but an endless stretch of barren land. There was nothing there but the car that had brought us here and the plane parked a short distance away.
The realization hit me hard. There was no way out. Not here, at least. I felt a surge of frustration and fear, but I swallowed it down as Lrefused to let him see my panic. Instead, I straightened my shoulders and prepared myself. Brought on by my desperation, I was planning on running as fast as I could, even though I’m well aware that there’s no escaping this place.

He watched me with a knowing look, his eyes flicking over my face as if he could read every thought running through my mind. “Don’t waste your time, kitten,” he said in his deep baritone voice. “There’s nowhere to run.”
But I couldn’t just stand there and accept it. His words were a challenge, and I wasn’t about to back down. Without a second thought, I bolted, sprinting as fast as my legs would carry me. My heart pounded in my chest. My breath coming in ragged gasps as I pushed myself harder. I didn’t look back. Afraid that if I did, I’d be seeing him running after me.
The ground blurred beneath me as I ran, the wind whipping through my hair. It felt like I’d been running for hours, my legs burning from the constant running, and my lungs were strained to keep up.
Finally, when I felt like I couldn’t take another step, I dared to glance over my shoulder, desperate to see how much distance I’d managed to put between us. But what I saw nearly made me stumble to a stop.
There, right behind me, was Titus, effortlessly keeping pace as if my frantic escape was nothing more than a leisurely stroll for him. His expression was calm as he watched my futile attempt to outrun him. It was as if he’d been there all along.
I didn’t understand how he’d done it. But it didn’t matter. The reality of the situation hit me like a cold splash of water. There was no escaping him. Not here, not now.
“Nice try,” he murmured, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he closed the small gap between us. “But you’ll never escape me…never again.”
The determination that had driven me to run faded away like a candle being blown out, leaving me feeling defeated. I stood there, breathing hard, unable to move as the weight of his presence overwhelmed me.
Titus stepped closer, his eyes locked on mine, and for the first time, I fully realized the extent of his power. He wasn’t just stronger or faster-he was unstoppable.
I let out a loud, surprised squeal as he effortlessly scooped me un lifting ma

Each step he took up the stairs leading to the plane made m heart pound. faster. The cold metal under his boots echoed in the stillness, amplifying the sense of helplessness that gripped me. I could see the plane’s open door looming closer.
“I fcking hate you!” I shouted, though my voice wavered between anger and fear. But he didn’t even flinch.
With one final step, he reached the top, the plane’s interior spreading out before us like a prison. I knew I wouldn’t be able to escape. And still, he didn’t release me, keeping me pinned to his shoulder as if daring me to try and fight. him again.
A loud sigh of defeat escaped my lips, the sound heavy with resignation. My world was upside-down, quite literally, as I dangled from his shoulder, my hair brushing against his back with each step. The door to the plane closed behind us.
As we made our way down the aisle, my eyes caught sight of Elara. She was seated comfortably in one of the luxurious chairs of the private plane as she enjoyed a meal as though she hadn’t a care in the world. Her gaze lifted, and surprise flickered across her face when she saw His Majesty carrying me like a sack of grain. Despite the awkwardness of my situation, a small wave of relief washed over me-at least Elara was safe. That was the only silver lining I could cling to after everything that happened.
His Majesty continued down the aisle as though he had all the time in the world. We passed through another door at the back of the plane, which he quietly shut behind us, enclosing us in a more private space.
Finally, he lowered me from his shoulder and gently settled me into a seat. I sat there, catching my breath. The air between us was thick with unspoken

much I despised being in this situation. But, of course, it didn’t seem to faze him in the slightest. If anything, my scowl only seemed to amuse him as though my resistance was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

“Stay here. I’m just going to check on the captain,” he said smoothly, his voice calm and authoritative, as if he were simply discussing the weather.
And before I could even think to protest, he leaned in and stole a quick kiss. from my lips. It happened so fast that I barely had time to register the warmth. of his mouth against mine. The shock rooted me to the spot, and for a split second, I froze, unable to pull away.
A hiss of frustration escaped my lips, my anger flaring hotter than before. But all he did was chuckle, the sound rich and deep, reverberating through the small cabin. He turned on his heel and left the cabin, the door clicking shut behind him.
I tried to shake off the lingering sensation of his kiss. I hated that he had that effect on me.
But before I could dwell on it any longer, the door creaked open once more. Relief washed over me when I saw who it was.
Elara stepped into the cabin, her face etched with worry. “My lady! Are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling as she rushed toward me.

I’m relieved to see her doing fine. I’m glad that Beta Scott managed to do what he promised. “I’m fine, Elara,” I replied.
She noticed my hands were tied behind my back. “Let me help you with that,” she offered.
“No, don’t. I’m fine. I don’t want you to get in trouble. I can handle him; don’t worry,” I assured her.
She looked at me as if weighing the situation. I smiled at her to ease her worry. Eventually, she let out a sigh of defeat.

Elara said. “But I’m afraid this isn’t exactly what you wanted, my lady.”
“It wasn’t, Elara,” I replied. “But what choice do I have? I’m still, technically, married to him. Until he finally agrees to a divorce, I’m bound to him.”
Elara sighed deeply, her frustration evident. “Just let me know if you need. anything. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”
“Thank you, Elara,” I said, managing a small, grateful smile. “But I’m fine for now. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. You’ve earned it.”
She headed out of the cabin, leaving me alone. It didn’t take long before Titus returned. While he was gone, I kept trying to free myself from the restraints. My efforts were interrupted by a sharp, stinging pain in my wrist.
“D**n it,” I muttered quietly, trying not to make a sound. But Titus noticed the grimace on my face, and his expression grew serious as he took in my discomfort.
He walked over and stood right in front of me. “Let me see,” he said firmly.
“No,” I replied, my voice steady despite the pain.
He narrowed his eyes at me, then pulled me up and turned me around so he could see the ropes binding my hands behind my back.
“Fck!” he swore as he quickly untied me. “Scott!” he shouted.
Beta Scott quickly entered our cabin. “Yes, Your Majesty?”
“Bring me the first aid kit, now!” he ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” It didn’t take him a few seconds before he came back with a small medical kit on his hand. “Here it is, Your Majesty.”
“Thank you. You may go now. L the door,” he ordered.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt nervous upon hearing his order.

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...
