Chapter 13 TITUS

"Good morning. Your Majesty," Scott greeted upon entering my chamber. I'm nearly finished with my usual morning routine when he arrives. "Good morning." I responded as my se**ts finished fixing my clothes.

"How are you this morning, Your Majesty? Did the elixir work well last night?" he asked.

"It didn't, actually. Tell the mage to create a more potent serum. I bare got through my heat last night despite taking those useless scrums," I complained. "About that..." he paused. "Is there a chance that your new britle is your mate?"

I scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous. I've been alive for hundreds of years, and not once have I met someone who could form a bond with my wolf. This mate business is nothing but a myth. I will never have a mate.” Scott looked at me, concern etched on his face. "But Your

I paused, his words sinking in. It was true that I had felt a powerful triggered your manifestation. You went into heat because of her, and it wasn't even a full moon." "Your Majesty," Scott insisted gently, "you know as well as I do that such energy, an undeniable connection. "That doesn't mean anything." I retorted, though my voice lacked conviction. "It was a fluke, an anomaly. There's no proof that she's my mate."

I turned away, my mind racing. Scott's words echoed the doubts I hadn't wanted to acknowledge. Could it be possible that, after all these centuries, I had finally found. someone who could truly be my mate?

reactions aren't random. There's something about Lady Sage that affects you deeply. You can't just dismiss it." "Enough," ," I said, more to myself than to Scott. "We have more pressing matters to attend to." Scott bowed his head slightly. "Of course, Your Majesty," he said before standing in the corner silently.

Scott waited patiently as the last touches were made to my outfit. I glanced at him, noticing the usual calm determination in his eyes.

"Is everything ready for today?" I asked, trying to hide

my nervousness.

Yes, Your Majesty, he responded, bowing slightly. "We have a full day ahead, starting with breakfast in the grand dining hall."

"Inform the queen that I'm not joining them for breakfast, I ordered.

Your Majesty?" he asked, as if he hadn't fully understood me. "But it's the protocol."

I gave him a deadly stare, cutting him off mid-sentence.

t quickly bowed his head. "Of course, Your Majesty. I will have the queen informed about your decision." He turned around and left the room for a minute to give the orders to his people waiting outside the king's chamber. It didn't take long before he came back. "It's done, Your Majesty. Would you like me to have your breakf your room?" served in

"There's no need for that. I have no appetite," I replied. "Did you get all the information I asked you?"

Yes Your Majesty," he answered.

"Proceed." I ordered him as I took a sip from my cup of coffee.

"Lady Sage is the daughter of the former Alpha of Moonlake Crest Pack. Her father betrayed their pack, which resulted in his demise. Alpha Gordon succeeded to the position and legally adopted his daughter. Nobody expected him to do that since Alpha Gordon led the coup de tat against her father

"It

seems to me that Alpha Gordon had planned this all along. He never intended to send his daughter as a tribute. I must applaud him. He managed to dodge a bullet without breaking any law." I chuckled.. "But isn't this defiance in some way? If you allow it, other packs might follow suit. It undermines the purpose of the treaty," Scott argued.

I turned to him with a thoughtful expression on my face. "Consider this, Scott. If Alpha Gordon hadn't ascended to the position and Sage's father had remained Alpha, who do

you

think they would have offered as their tribute?"

He hesitated, then finally answered, "It would have been Lady Sage, Your Majesty."

Exactly, I said, a smirk forming on my lips. "Either way, she was destined to be my wife. I have no complaints about that." Scott looked at me with curiosity in his eyes. "Does that mean you're going to introduce yourself to her, Your Majesty?"
