Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

1 looked out the window. I assessed my options with a furrowed brow. The gate was heavily guarded, and I knew right there it wasn't the best option. There's no way I could tackle them head-on.

Frustration bubbled within me as I realized my lack of familiarity with the palace. Every twist and turn was a potential trap; every corridor is a labyrinth of uncertainty. But I have no time to waste-I had to act quickly if I wanted to get out of this place.

Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I resolved to rely on instinct and intuition. With stealth as my ally, I slipped out of my chambers and into the dimly lit corridors, moving silently like a shadow in the night. I have no skills when it comes to this, but it seems like luck is in my favor, as Alice didn't notice me coming out of my chamber. Every step was a gamble, and every corner turned into a leap of faith. My heart pounded in my chest, the sound echoing in the empty halls like a drumbeat of apprehension.

As I moved through the palace, my senses heightened, alert for any sign of danger. I dodged past patrols and skirted around guards, my movements swift and precise. The adrenaline surged through my veins, fueling my resolve to escape at any cost. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached the outer walls of the palace. With a quick glance over my shoulder to ensure I remained unseen, I slipped through a narrow gap in the defenses. But I hadn't even gotten past the walls when I heard a deep baritone voice. "What are you doing?" he said.

My eyes widened in shock when I heard someone's voice behind me. Right away, heard the sound of the guards marching in our direction. At this rate, I will definitely get caught.

I quickly turned around to see who it was. And I was slightly taken aback for a minute as soon as my eyes landed on those familiar, deep blue eyes. Memories of what happened. the night before flashed right before my eyes. The thought of his naked body wrapped around mine ignites the fire within me as it awakens the desire buried deep inside me. I can still remember how I ran my fingers along his long black hair. "Y-You-" But before I could even finish my sentence, I heard the guard's marching sound getting closer. In panic, I quickly grabbed his shirt and pinned him against the wall before covering his mouth so he wouldn't make a sound. 1/5

I tried my best to squeeze us both into the tight space between the palace walls, praying that the guards wouldn't notice our presence. My heart raced like a thundering drumbeat, matching the escalating intensity of the guards' footsteps as they drew closer with each passing minute.

We pressed ourselves against the cold stone, willing our breaths to become silent whispers.

As the footsteps grew louder, my pulse quickened, the adrenaline coursing through my veins like a wild river. Fear and anticipation mingled in the air, thickening the tension to a palpable degree.

With bated breath, I stole a glance at the man who was standing in front of me with our bodies pressed against each other, his features illuminated by the faint moonlight filtering through the clouds.

I gasped for air when our eyes met. My throat suddenly felt dry when I noticed how he looked at me. Then memories of the hot, steamy night we shared last night came rushing down like a tidal wave. He was staring at me as if he were about to devour me in a minute. I can feel his soft and warm lips touching against my palm. His warm breath was brushing against my skin, igniting the fire within me.

Desire spreads throughout my body like wildfire as I remember how I rocked his body on bed while screaming in pleasure. Given our current situation, I'm surprised to find myself wet between my legs. I gulped, trying to calm myself down,

I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me, but it didn't take long before I realized I was wrong. While waiting for the guards to pass us by, I felt his growing bulge against my belly. He was so towering tall that my head only reaches his chest. He didn't make it easy for me when he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me tighter against his body.

Suddenly, the sound of boots hitting the ground echoed through the night,
