Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 14 SAGE

I've been attending my classes since this morning. My feet were already hurting from all the lessons that Her Majesty ordered me to take so I could be well accustomed to how things work around here.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself being part of the royals. My father, despite being the alpha of our pack, never mentioned anything about this part between the palaces. I can't help but wonder if my father has no intention of sending me here as a tribute. I just finished my last lesson for today, and I decided to walk along the garden to get some fresh air. Elara has been appointed as my personal maid by Her Majesty. Thought I've already been comfortable with Alice's presence, it seems like she already had an assigned job in the palace. As we were making our way through the garden, I couldn't help but notice that the palaces were nothing alike compared to the whispers and gossips circling around town. To be honest, it's not bad at all. If it weren't for my hasty decisions, I don't think I'd have a problem staying here for good. All I need is to be invisible, just like I used to be, and my life will be peaceful. can leave now, Elara. You have probably more important things to do than to follow me around," I said.

It didn't take long before we finally reached where we were going. My mouth gaped in amazement upon witnessing the beauty of the garden. The vibrant colors of the flowers, the lush greenery, and the harmonious arrangement of plants left me utterly spellbound. Each step revealed a new delight, from the gentle rustling of leaves to the sweet scent of blossoms that filled the air. The garden was a true paradise, captivating my senses and filling me with a deep sense of wonder and tranquility.

Amid the blooming flowers in the garden, my eyes noticed something even more beautiful than everything around us. There, standing by the garden fence, was a man
