Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

“Jealous, are we?”

I scoffed, “Why would I be?” I replied, raising my eyebrow. “I’m just trying to understand your logic here. Why get a breeder when you have your queen?”

“That’s none of your goddamn business,” he replied coldly.

“It is my business,” I insisted. “We’re talking about my life, my body, and my child here. You can’t tell me it’s none of my

business.”

I saw him clench his jaw as if he was trying to control his anger. Probably, in some other situation, I would be frightened by now. But honestly, that’s far from what I am feeling right now. He’s slapping it on my face that he already has a new queen. I don’t see why he still needs me.

After a couple of minutes of deafening silence, he speaks again. “Just sign the paper, Sage, then we’re done here,” he ordered in between gritted teeth.

I put the papers back inside the envelope. Titus was frowning as he watched me like a hawk. His frown deepened when instead of signing it, I stood up from the chair and faced him head–on.

“I’m not going to sign a paper without reading its content. I’ll let you know if I need to make some changes,” I said.

I was startled when he slammed the table loudly. “You don’t get to have choices here, Sage. May I remind you that even though people here call you lady, you are nothing but a slave, a breeder,” he said. His icy blue eyes turned red in anger.

“You may call me anything you want, but I will not sign anything unless I know what I’m getting myself into. If you have a problem with that, you can end this now. It will save both of us the trouble of each other’s presence,” I bravely replied.

In a blink of an eye, he moved swiftly like the wind. One moment he was standing behind the desk; now he was standing in front of me, our bodies were pressed against each other while his hand was wrapped around my waist and the other one was holding my nape steadily.

I flinched when I felt his sharp claws digging against my nape. His eyes were still red. I can sense danger in his eyes, and for the first time, I regretted pushing him to his limit. I was acting brave when I told him to end it now, but now that there’s a big chance he would probably kill me, I realize that it’s not a good idea to challenge the most powerful lycan in the territory.

“You are frail like a human. Without your healing power, I could snap your neck in any minute, and you’ll be dead in a second,” he whispered, but his words were so loud that I could feel my body shaking.

I can feel a lump in my throat as he slowly takes the distance between our lips but stops right when our lips are brushing against one another. Instead of my lips, he pressed his lips against the corner of my lips and then continued brushing against my jawline.

I was taking a sharp breath as the heat brought by the closeness of our bodies started creeping through the fiber of my being. I gulped when I felt his lips against the burrow of my neck. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from creating any more sound when he started to run his tongue against my neck.
