Betrayed by an alpha claimed by a lycan king

Chapter 51 SAGE Why do we still have our mind link? It should have been gone as soon as he found his mate. How the hell did he manage to get hell did he manage to get inside my head? My heart races as I start to panic. I need to get out of here. But how? I looked around the office, searching for another exit. I was taking advantage of the fact that he was halfway across the office and would need to pass. through all those people trying to get a glimpse of the new CEO.

Don't you dare move. His voice invaded my mind again, commanding and. firm. He must have sensed what I was planning and tried to use his alpha command on me. I braced myself for the paralyzing effect, expecting my body to betrayand lock in place, but nothing h What the hell? Without wasting another second, I did the only thing that made sense. I quickly walked towards the exit door that was a few feet away from him, the one that could leadto safety. My pulse quickened as I neared the door, every step feeling like a battle against the unsee panic that threatened to overwhelm me.

He watched me, his eyes dark with something I couldn't quite read-anger, confusion, or perhaps something far more dangerous. But I didn't stop to figure it out. All I knew was that I had to escape before he caught me.

As I reached the door, a cold dread crept into my thoughts. I knew what he was capable of, and I half-expected to find his men waiting foron the other side, ready to dragback. My heart pounded as I pushed the door open, bracing myself for the worst.

But the corridor beyond was empty, the only sound being the distant hum of the building. Relief washed over me, but I knew better than to let my guard.

1/5 11:44 Tue, Sep 17 B Chapter 31 down. I couldn't afford to be complacent-not when I was this close to getting away.

Thankfully, I knew this place like the back of my hand. Months of working here had givenan intimate understanding of every nook and cranny, navigate it in my sleep if I every shortcut, and every hidden passage.

had to.

I quickly made my way through a series of back hallways, keeping my footsteps light and my breathing steady. I took sharp turns and doubled back a few times, making sure to avoid the main corridors where his men might be stationed. My heart raced with each step, but I As I neared an old service exit that I knew was rarely used, I paused to listen for any signs of pursuit. Silence. A small, shaky breath escaped me. Maybe, just maybe, I could get out of this.

I pushed open the heavy door and slipped outside, the cool air hitting my face like a splash of water. The street was busy, filled with people going about their lives, completely oblivious to the turmoil that was tearing mine apart. I blended into the crowd, moving quickly but n I didn't dare look back. I couldn't. Because if I did, I might see him.

I quickly grabbed my phone to warn Elara. It keeps on ringing, but no one answers until I hear the voicemail tone. I blew a loud breath before I left a message.

"Elara, we need to go. They found us. We have to leave as soon as possible. Be ready. I'll be there in five minutes. Be careful. Don't trust anyone," I warned. her before ending the call.

I quickly call for a cab so I can chas soon as possible. I don't have much tto waste. I'm sure that Titus' men will be on my tail in no time.

It tookfive minutes before I reached our house. I was in a rush when I opened the door. I'm glad that Titus' men haven't found our place yet. But Chapter 51 since he already found where I was working, I'm sure it wouldn't take long. before he found where I live.

I was relieved to find Elara standing right before the door when I opened it.

"Thank, God, you're here!" I quickly imprison her into a tight embrace. "I was worried about you. Did you get my message?" I asked her.

"Y-yes," she stuttered.

"Good. Then, what are you standing there for? Let's go. We need to leave," I said before grabbing her hand. But I was confused when she didn't move. I frowned in confusion. "What's wrong, Elara?" "I'm sorry, Sage. They got my phone. I didn't manage to warn you," she apologized.

I laugh nervously, "What do you mean?" My heart started racing. My body turned cold when I saw the fear in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sage. I'm really sorry," she repeated as she threw a fearful glance. above my shoulder. Tears started running down her cheeks as she sobbed. frantically.

I took a deep breath. It doesn't take a genius to understand what she was saying.

"My lady," said the familiar voice behind me.

Instinctively, I spun around, my body moving to shield Elara as I put her behind me. She had done nothing but help me, standing by my side through everything. She didn't deserve to be caught in the crossfire of whatever was coming next. I wouldn't let her suffer because Beta Scott stepped closer, his presence towering and imposing. The weight of the situation pressed down onlike a vise, but I refused to back down. Not when Elara's safety was at stake.

"I'm the one you want," I said, my voice trembling but defiant. "Leave her out. of this." 11:45 Tue, Sep 17 B Chapter 51 Elara's sobs grew louder, her grip tightening on my arm as she tried to speak, tried to protest, but I silenced her with a firm shake of my head. This was my fight, not hers.

"Don't worry, my lady. We're not going to hurt her," Beta Scott assured me. "But you need to cwith us." "How can I be sure about her safety?" I demanded, my voice laced with. desperation. "I need your word, Beta Scott, that no harm will cto her." He paused; his eyes met mine. "You have my word," he finally said. "Elara will be safe. She'll be coming with us." "No, let her go. She doesn't need to cwith us. Set her free!" I insisted.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, my lady. But rest assured that we'll take care of her," Beta Scott replied.

I wanted to believe him, wanted to trust that he was telling the truth, but doubt gnawed at me. My instincts screamed that I was walking into a twas walking int trap, but what choice did I have? Elara's life was at stake, all because of me. "Elara, it's going to be okay," I whispered to her. "Just do what they say, and stay safe."

Her tear-filled eyes locked onto mine, a silent plea forto reconsider, to find another way. But there was no other way. Phad to go with them; I to had to face whatever awaited me, even if it meant stepping into the lion's den.

When everything was settled, Beta Scott slightly bowed his head and motioned his hand as if he werem allowingto walk before. I was surprised. by that. I was expecting them to dragagainst my will, but why are they being nice to me? This is definitely suspicious.
