Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

I ended up walking towards the bathroom against my will. It's either this or let these innocent people take the consequences of the game His Majesty was playing right now.

I

I can't believe that despite my defiance, I still fell right into His Majesty's hand. They are scrubbing every inch of my body to make sure that I'll be presentable upon facing His Majesty. They even put some fragrance and oil on my body. Elara probably noticed how many times I have blown a loud sigh while waiting for them to finish preparing me. "Are you okay, my lady?" she asked worriedly.

"Tell me, Elara. How can I be okay when I am forced to sleep with a man I despise?" I can't help but let out my frustration on her. All of I of those who were in that bathroom raised their eyes towards me at once. Their eyes widened in shock upon hearing what I said. Obviously, they weren't used to hearing such words against the most powerful man in the kingdom. However, all they could do was look at me with judgment in their eyes. It was His Majesty who ordered this, so they can't do anything but follow. "She doesn't really mean that," Elara jumped into my defense despite knowing that I meant every word I said. She glared at Words. me with pursed lips and warned me to watch my

Honestly,

I don't care if they see me as unfit to be in this place. I would gladly accept it if His Majesty decided to have me thrown away from the palace.

Once they're done scrubbing every inch of my body, they help me get out of the tub. They started to dry my body with a soft towel before putting on some lotion. Finally, they let me slip into a white elegant nightgown; its fabric was so thin that I could see my body right through it. "Why don't they just let me walk through his room naked?" I can't help but murmur.

"My lady!" Elara said in between gritted teeth as she silently scolded me.

I just roll my eyes in response. It took me at least two hours to prepare for something in which I had no interest at all.

As their final touch, they sprayed me with an elegant perfume throughout my body before putting on a thick robe on top of

"Beta Scott is already waiting outside, my lady," Elara informed.

"Let ! him wait," I replied.

"My lady!" Elara replied in utter shock.

"What? I didn't say that I wouldn't be going to His Majesty's room. But I didn't say as well what time I would be going," I said. "You can all leave now," I ordered the maids.

Since their job was done, they politely followed my order and left the room without a word. As they opened the door, I saw Scott standing right outside the door. I notice the confusion on his face when he figures out that I won't be coming with the maids. I saw him open his mouth, about to say something, but before he could, I slammed the door in front of him.

"Sage, are you out of your mind?" Elara exclaimed, staring at me like I had truly lost it.

I smirked, walking over to the mirror as I casually adjusted my hair. "I'm going, okay? Just on my terms, not theirs.

GG. Chapter 62

Elara blinked at me, her disbelief clear in her wide eyes. "You're unbelievable."

I turned to her, giving her a wink. "Come on. It'll be fun!"

Elara let out an exasperated sigh, throwing her hands up in defeat. "Fun? You're playing with fire, Sage. You know that, right?"

I chuckled, picking up a delicate brush from the vanity and running it through my hair absentmindedly. "Since when have I not been playing with fire, Elara? I've been playing with fire the moment I tried to escape this hellhole."

I

She crossed her arms, watching me carefully. "His Majesty won't be as patient as Scott was."

I met her eyes in the mirror, a flicker of defiance in my gaze. "That's exactly why I'm doing this. If he thinks he can control me by sending his Beta to fetch me like some obedient little pet, he's in for a surprise."

Elara shook her head, clearly torn between worry and the grudging admiration she always had for my stubborn streak. "I just don't want you to get hurt."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

set the brush down, turning to face her. "I know you're worried, but I need him to understand something. He might be the king, but I'm not just another subject. If he wants me to come to him, it won't be because I'm ordered. I'm not under obligation to follow his order. If he's not happy about it, he's free to divorce me and throw me into exile."

sitting down on the edge of the bed. "You're impossible, you know that?"

"I am," I said "I said with a grin.

She gave me a pointed look. "And that's also why I'm terrified for you."

I walked towards her and put my hand on her shoulders. "Relax, Élara.. What's the worst that can happen?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?" she asked, her voice thick with concern.

I chuckled softly, pushing open the wardrobe doors. "No," I grin. I'll go see him when I'm ready," I assured her.

Elara just watched me, still unconvinced but knowing there was no point in arguing with me anymore. "Fine. But please, for the love of everything holy, don't make things worse."

"No promises," I teased, flashing her a grin as I began pulling out a dress worthy of facing the king.

As I slipped into the gown, my mind raced. The tension between Titus and me was a dangerous game, one that I knew could explode at any moment. But I couldn't back down-not now, not ever. If he wanted to test me, I was more than ready to meet him head-on.
