Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 17 SAGE

My heart was racing as I leaned my back against the railings. I was holding my breath as 1 waited for time to pass by before I could safely go back to my room without His Majesty noticing me.

I'm not entirely sure why my instant reaction was to hide. It's probably because I did something terrible against His Majesty that I didn't want him to know.

As I waited for a few minutes, I heard a rustling sound behind me. Before I could even turn behind me, I heard a familiar baritone voice. "What are you hiding for?"

I was startled. I almost screamed in fear. When I turned around and saw who it was, my heart suddenly calmed down.

"L-Lord Titus, h-how did you..." I looked below us and noticed that His Majesty and Beta Scott were long gone. I turned to the gorgeous man standing in front of me with a confused look. "What are you doing here? Are you out of your mind?!" I exclaimed, completely forgetting who it was that I was talking to.

I glare at him in annoyance. He's well aware of our dangerous situation, yet he didn't mind visiting me on my balcony in the middle of the night. Who knows what will happen if His Majesty sees us together? We are walking on a thread here. I can't afford to make another mistake.

"Not exactly the warm welcome I was hoping for." He chuckled. I hate to see him so calm and laid-back. It's probably because the consequences of what happened between us don't affect him as much as I do. It's starting to slowly dawn on me that Lord Titus isn't exactly an ally. He's an enemy who's only waiting for the perfect. opportunity to turn the table against me. That thought isn't exactly pleasing. It may be hard to admit, but I liked having him by my side. Since my father died, no one has been willing to stand beside me. Just when I feel like I finally meet someone who I can count on, I will quickly realize that I'm still alone and fighting my own battle.

I blew a loud sigh. "I'm sorry if I disrespected you in any way, my lord. But if you don't mind, will you please leave my chamber? I don't think it's a good idea for us to be seen in this compromising position." I tried to walk past him, but I deliberately failed when he suddenly grabbed my arm and pinned me against the railing, leaving our bodies a 1/7

few inches away from one another. "M-My lord..." I uttered in panic as I tried to check on the ground to see if there was anyone there who could see us. "Now we're in a compromising position," he said, referring to my earlier words with a sly grin.

"Let

"That might happen if you don't stop making noise," he replied calmly.

As much as I wanted to shout at him, he did have a good point. Reluctantly, I stopped struggling and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. here?" I asked quietly, my are you voice barely above a-whisper.
