Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 100

SAGE

Two days had passed, and Titus still hadn't regained consciousness. The air in the house was thick with tension; every hour that ticked by weighing heavier on all of us. Despite our offers to help Anna care for him, she refused every time, insisting she could handle it herself. Her tone was sharp, her movements defensive, as if she was protecting him from more than just his condition.

It was frustrating to watch. Every instinct in me screamed to intervene, to demand answers from Anna about why she was so adamant about keeping us away. Something about her behavior didn't sit right, and the longer Titus stayed unconscious, the stronger my suspicions grew. I paced the living room, my mind racing, until I finally decided I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to confront her.

Just as I moved toward the hallway, Scott stepped into my path, blocking my way with a firm expression. "Sage, don't."

I scowled at him, my frustration bubbling over. "Why not? She's hiding something, Scott. This isn't normal. And I'm not just going to stand here and do nothing while Titus-"

He raised a hand, cutting me off. "Think about it. If you accuse Anna of anything without proof, it's not just her you'll be going up against-it's Alpha Titus too. You know as well as I do that he trusts her. She has his favor."

I clenched my fists, struggling to rein in my emotions. "His favor or not, I can't just sit here. What if she's the reason he's like this? What if she's doing something to keep him from remembering or, worse, from waking up?"
