Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 14



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. I'm not used to being followed around. It feels like there's always a pair of eyes waiting for me to make a mistake.

"I apologize, my lady. I'm afraid I can't do that. My assigned duty is to help her ladyship with everything she needs," she answered.

Oh

okay," I uttered before forcing a smile. It seems like I have no other choice but to get used to it, no matter how uncomfortable I may be. However, I'll definitely have a hard time planning my escape if she follows me all the time.

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

"What are you doing?" Elara whispered urgently, her eyes wide with confusion.

"We can't let them see us!" I hissed back, my mind racing with thoughts of what could happen if the king had heard us

From our hiding spot, I could still see them through the leaves. The king was facing in our direction, but I'm not sure whether he saw us or not. I was peeking through the gap in the leaves. I can't see them clearly, so I'm not sure if he noticed our presence. "What's going on, my lady?" She asked in confusion.

His Majesty forbids me to look at his face. He'll have my head if he discovers that I was trying to look at him."

She nodded, as she fully understood my situation. Elara nudged me. "We can't stay forever. What if they come over?"

I bit my lip, weighing our options. "We need to act naturally," I whispered, trying to

steady my breathing. "Just follow my lead."

Slowly, we made our way out of the garden without drawing attention. We were walking like ducks, trying to get out of that place as soon as possible. It may not look very ladylike, but lil rather look like a fool than have my head on the chopping block. We weren't even halfway through the garden when a pair of legs suddenly blocked my path "Is everything alright, my lady?" came that familiar baritone voice.

I looked up and was instantly greeted by those beautiful, piercing blue eyes. Panic surged through me, and without thinking. I pulled him down into the bushes. The sudden movement caught him off guard, and he stumbled slightly before crouching beside me. aus.

I turned to Elara, whose mouth hung open as she stared at Lord Titus. His presence was magnetic, enough to leave any woman stunned. His strong jawline, perfectly tousled hair, and those mesmerizing eyes could make anyone forget to breathe. Lord Titus," I whispered urgently, "you shouldn't be e here."

He arched an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "And why is that, my lady?"

Elara, still in shock, finally found her voice. "We were just trying to avoid being seen by His Majesty," she stammered, her cheeks flushing a deep red.

Lord Titus glanced over to where the king and Beta Scott were standing. "I see," he said, his tone softening. "But hiding in the bushes isn't exactly the best way to go unnoticed..

I felt my face heat up with embarrassment. "I know, it was a rash decision," I admitted, glancing nervously back at the king. Relief washed over me when I noticed they had finally moved on and were no longer in sight. I let out a sigh of relief. Lord Titus chuckled softly, a sound that sent a shiver down my spine. "You have a unique way of handling situations, my lady," he said, his eyes t**ing with

amusement.

I managed a small, sheepish smile. I guess I do. Thank you for not making things worse."

He raised an eyebrow playfully. "What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't come to the aid of a lady in distress?"

I couldn't help but laugh softly at his remark. "Well, your assistance is appreciated, Lord Titus

I

He smiled warmily, his gaze lingering on mine. It's always a pleasure to help," he said.

"You can add that to the list of favors I owe you," I said.

Suddenly, my eyes fell on his red, luscious lips. Memories of the events from last night. came rushing back like wildfire, overwhelming my senses. I gulped, my throat dry, ast the vivid recollection of his warm lips pressed against my skin flooded my mind. My body started to f feel I hot, a flush creeping up my neck and cheeks as I remembered what happened last night. He shifted slightly, and I watched as he wet his lips with his tongue. The sight sent a shiver down my spine, and I couldn't help but recall the way he had licked my cheek, as if savoring my taste. The memory was electrifying, stirring a deep, unbidden desire. within me. 1 struggled to keep my composure, but my mind was awash with the sensory details of that night. The way his breath had felt warm against my skin, the gentle yet insistent. pressure of his lips, and the intoxicating blend of urgency and tenderness in his touch. It had been a moment of raw, unfiltered passion, and now, standing here in the daylight, those memories were almost too much to bear.

He seemed to sense my internal turmoil, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. His eyes were filled with a knowing look, as if he too were reliving those moments. The connection between us was palpable-a silent communication that He seemes. spoke volum "Are you alright?" he asked softly, his voice a low rumble that sent another wave of heat through me.

I nodded, though my voice came out in a shaky whisper. "Y-Yes. I-I'm sorry."

I tried to avoid bringing up the topic of what happened last night. That wasn't supposed to happen. He's a man serving His Majesty, and I am His Majesty's wife. Despite the attraction I felt for him, I should never entertain that idea as long as I am here.

For the same reason, I need to come up with another plan to escape this place alive. I turned to Elara. "Could you please give us a moment? I need to discuss an important. matter with Lord Titus."

She glanced at Lord Titus, almost as if seeking his permission, which struck me as rather odd.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Of course, my lady," she stuttered. Before I could even say thank you, she quickly turned her back and walked away.

"That's strange," I murmured under my breath. Yet, I promptly dismissed the thought. I couldn't afford to dwell on trivial matters. I had more pressing tasks at hand. Turning to face Lond Titus, I spoke earnestly, 'My Lord, Tam sincerely thankful that you've accommodated my request. However, we can't keep avoiding His Majesty indefinitely.
