Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 241 SAGE

"I didn't do anything wrong! Please, this is all mistake!" I shouted, desperately trying to free myself from the iron grip of the royal guards. They dragged me forward, my struggles proving futile against their brute strength.

No matter how much I resisted, I was powerless in their grasp. My heart pounded with a mixture of fear and indignation. This couldn't be happening.

Behind me, I could hear the ominous footsteps of Alpha Gordon, Holt, and Annika, their presence a dark cloud looming over me. They followed closely, their eyes burning into 111y back as we made our way to the grand palace, where Her Majesty awaited us. Every step felt like a death march, the grandeur of the palace contrasting sharply with the dread settling in my stomach. My mind raced, searching for a way out, but all I could feel was the tightening grip of fear.

"Please listen to me! There's been a misunderstanding!" I pleaded once more, but my words fell on deaf ears. The guards remained stoic, their expressions unyielding.

"Stop putting shame on our family, Sage. You've done enough damage," Annika uttered while Holt was looking at me with warm eyes as if he wanted to help me.

But, as expected, he would never dare go against his father. He'd rather sacrifice me than get on his father's bad side.

As we approached

the towering doors of the palace, I felt a cold chill run down my spine. The opulence of the grand hallways, with their marble floors and golden accents, seemed to mock my helplessness. I glanced back at Alpha Gordon and Annika, their faces a mix of smug satisfaction and Annika's eyes met mine, and she smirked, a cruel glint in her gaze. "Don't worry, sis. This will be over sooner," she whispered, her voice barely audible but laced with

menace.

The doors to the throne room swung open, and I was thrust into the blinding light of the vast chamber. Her Majesty sat on her throne, her regal presence commanding the room. My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to stand tall, refusing to show any sign of weakness.
