Daemon's POV I sighed and headed towards my closet. It didn't take long for me to finish, and when I emerged, I noticed that he was still sitting in the same spot waiting for me. "I'm really not in the mood right now, Sam," I groaned as I walked over to my bar and grabbed a bottle of Absinthe. As soon as I sat down, someone pulled up a chair in front of me. Although alcoholic drinks don't work on werewolves or Lycans, this drink is dangerous. However, it has no effect on us. Still, I needed a little liquid courage to help quench my raging veins. "You seemed restless," Sam expressed his thoughts. Pouring the drink into a glass cup, I ignored him. Once I was done spilling the drink inside the tumbler I placed the glass of wine in front of him before pouring another one into my own glass. "Thank you," he replied. I nodded when taking a long sip before placing the glass down. "Are you not intending to share your problems with me?" He asked again, disrupting my thoughts. I
Rhea's POV Today is the day of the full moon. Mercy came the other day to inform me about the big event and hopefully, I am praying for the Moon Goddess to allow me to meet my wolf. At least Kian will see something in me to be proud of. As a Luna, it is a shame that I don't have a wolf, despite my physical strength but how did I intend to protect my kind in a battle without a buzzard? My family might have this trait of strong in our lineage but that power can fully manifest in one with the presence of their wolf. Though I have gotten a report from one of Kian's warriors that the Alpha instructed that I shouldn't step out of my room today which is damn confusing and at the same time annoying. He should know that this is my only chance of finding my wolf, my other half if I truly want to be regarded as a true Luna in this pack. I need a damn fucking wolf, especially now that we have allied with the strongest packs in this werewolf realm. At least I needed something to show off,
Rhea's POV Everything happened in a flash, I found myself trapped to the ground by the warriors with Kian forcing a bitter liquid down my throat. I struggled and screamed to be set free as the liquid burned down my throat but instead, their grip on me tightened. I was trembling hard, my body shaking like I was been placed inside a burning lava. I pleaded to be set free; to be released but every plea falls on deaf ears. After he was sure that I might have gulped down every content on that cup, he pulled away and by then the full moon had disappeared. My helpless body falls on the dirt sand that only my silent tears can be heard. "Take her to the penitentiary," he instructed the warriors who instantly dragged me inside the pack house toward the hallway and then before throwing me into the dark penitentiary and slamming the iron door damn closed. My body hits on the rough, cold floor. I held onto my clothes as I noticed that everywhere was coated in darkness. I could still f
Rhea's POV I curled up on the floor, staring at the empty space. The tears on my face have long dried off, why do I always have to go through me? Being locked up in a dungeon by my mate is devastating. But one thing that I have agreed on after spending a night here is never to allow Kian or any of them to see my tears. I think that I don't need to allow them to see me hurt, I noticed that my tears give them satisfaction. Still going through my thoughts I felt a squeak crack from the door, allowing a ray of sunlight into the room, accompanied by a familiar face which I recognized to be Mercy. "Mercy," I called tiredly, she gave me a small pitiful smile. "What are you doing here?" I asked, confused because since Kian left yesterday no one has stepped in here. I was abandoned at the harsh walls of this dungeon, under the terrifying cold. "The Alpha instructed me to take you to your chamber," Finally... I mumbled, I glanced around the depressing yet horrifying penitentiar
Daemon's POV I stomped back and forth against the floor of my office, waiting for Sam to arrive. I can feel the rage rising with each step, no matter what I do... I just can't settle. Not long there was a squeaking sound from the door, accompanied by a familiar face, Sam. He slowly walked up to me and dropped the files he was holding on top of the table. "What was that?" I demanded amidst my anger. "The rumor is everywhere, the Luna of the Blackwood Pack is not mentally okay," he replied, "I think that you have to take a look," he pointed at those files. Glancing at the files, I sighed and turned to him, "I have already heard of that and that's why I sent for you," "Heard of that... how but I am just getting to tell you now," he sounds confused. "Well, everything that I needed to know has been delivered to me," taking around my table, I turned my chair and sat down. "What are you talking about?" Sam slowly pulled out his chair and sat down. "I have an insider ther
Rhea's POV "I have to put an end to this," I instantly stood up from the bed, this is my image that Kian is crushing. Not minding how I was looking, I pushed Lila and Mercy out of my way and left my room. Heading toward his office. Without much of a cordial knock at the door, I barged into his office. His cold eye slowly pulled out from the two warriors standing beside him and fell directly at me. The two warriors quickly lowered their heads submissively, but my eyes were cold, filled with pain and hurt to even acknowledge their greeting. "Leave us," in his cold voice, the two warriors scurried out of the office, leaving only the two of us. "Why are you here?" His face colored in disgust, I almost flinched at his loud voice but I maintained my stand. "Have you not asked yourself what damage this rumor might cause?" I questioned when staring back at him. "I have warned you never to enter my office or stay anywhere around me except doing events or any public gathering," h
Rhea's POV After up to seven hours of traveling in silence, we finally arrived in Thorn pack. As soon as the car stopped, Mercy and I got off before our eyes widened in shock. "OMG! This is just like a paradise," I held her lips, stopping her from screaming. "This place really looks amazing, and more than fantastic..." we both nodded thoughtfully. This pack is unbelievable, since I was a toddler till now I have always heard about the mighty pack but today is the first time that I am stepping foot inside here. Everywhere screams luxury and seems breathtaking. Mercy and I were staring like lost puppies till we heard a chuckle from behind. I swiveled my head in that direction and was met by an unfamiliar male face. "Hello, Luna Rhea, pardon my manners for keeping you out here for too long," he bowed his head respectfully with a lingering smile on his lips. I can't lie but this man standing in front of me is damn handsome but so bad it can't be compared to that of Daemon.
Rhea's POV The atmosphere suddenly becomes uncomfortable, and the slamming of the door against its hinges pulls back my mind to reality. I am trapped alone here with this greek god in front of me, I fell into his eyes. They were fine hazel-black pairs, there was something in those gazes more like a magnet. Snapping my gaze off him, I cleared my throat, "Am sorry, my king but you just sent my beta out from your office," I said, fighting hard not to stare into those eyes of his. Giving me a long stare, he let out a huff, "That's not your beta or did you suddenly turn your personal servant into your beta under a night?" I held onto his stare briefly, I don't know why I still find this man here attractive when I already have a mate and husband in my life. Strangely, it feels so nice sitting in front of him, my body craves for him. The intensity in his eyes burning me, unusually I feel drawn to him which causes me to instantly look away. "Sorry but since my beta is busy at t
Rhea's POV "The death of your parents," I retort, unsure of what I just heard. "Yes, who doesn't know the enmity between Clawson pack and Blackwood Pack? And your father killed my parents after getting into a fight with him," he narrated, smirking deadly at me. "I planned to make you pay tenfold for the pains I went through all these years but unfortunately I fall for you," I shook my head at him, and for once after the months tears slid down my face. I can't believe that I have lived all my life back then loving this monster! The fight was between the two dead parents, what does it have to do with me and besides something must have triggered my father into killing his father. He instantly yank my head by the side, "He still hasn't marked her," he said. "So we still have a chance," "So what next?" He asked. "You decided, either you kill her or eloped with her," he nodded at her and turned to look at me. "I will prefer to end us," I lift my head to look at him. "I will
Daemon's POV "They.... took her away," "Do you know where they want to go?" He is already slipping away. "Where did they take her?!" I shook him, by gaze pleading for him to say a word. "The cave.... " "Yes, which of the caves?" "The cave..." "Oh! Shit… Come one," I heard Sam curse under his breath. "Look we are here to save Luna Rhea so tell us which cave did you hear them say?" Wilfred said to him as he shook his shoulders. "The... waterfall," his head tilted instantly to the other side and I knew that he was gone. "Waterfall," I murmured, sounding confused. The guards exchanged a confused look, "Waterfall," Wilfred repeated the word. "Wait...!" We all turned to face Sam, "I think I understand what he is saying," he mumbled. "I think he means the hidden cave beside the waterfall," "Cabe beside the waterfall," my face caressed in confusion, "Which waterfall?" "The one you know," he let out. "We only have one waterfall," "Yes, that's it," Sam nodded
Rhea's POV We all screamed the last word and instantly transformed into our wolves rushing toward the rogues, the fight began and howls and cries were heard. Despite being just five our fighting skills are impressive though we can never outnumber them, the more we kill the more another set of rogues crawl out from the trees around there. I jumped on the nearest rogue beside me and quickly pulled out his heart while biting off the other rogue with my sharp teeth. The fight lasted for a while and nobody from the pack arrived. My warriors are getting weak, I watched in horror as the rogues were pulling out their hearts and killing them all in that spot. It was just the remaining two and they rushed to my side, "What should we do? These rogues are much," I gulped when looking at the other rogues, despite having killed some but those remaining were still much. "Not giving up," I said to them as we all rushed back to the fight. The warriors are already tired and it wasn't tha
Rhea's POV "You must have put a lot of effort into making this," I said to him. He reached for the wine and poured it into our glasses. "Anything for you," he winked when taking a sip from his glass. "Never pictured you as a romantic type," I chuckled, "Yeah you are right I am not a romantic type," we both laughed. After that we never talked and continued with the food, I can feel the tension building up within us. I kept stealing glances from each other, I wanted to move toward his side and into him but I feel so glued to my spot to even move up. After lunch, we joked and played around for a while. We were having so much fun when suddenly the weather changed, signaling that it was going to rain. So Daemon decided that we head back to the pack, I wasn't all that happy but he was right we have nowhere to clash if it started raining so I followed him. Once we reached the pack I walked back to the room, I guess it is now our room. I was about to close the door when suddenly it
Rhea's POV Realization dawned on me as I continued to stare in that direction that I once saw him, so we weren't mates after all and he lied to me. But he gave me a mark, "That wasn't a real mark though I am glad that I have finally reconnected with you," I have a lot on my mind that I paid less attention to her words, Daemon stepped forward and touched my fur. I felt sparks shot through my whole body, so he has always been my mate all this while. I watched Eleanor lean into his touch as he pats her head and kisses her face. He was rubbing my furs and back, trying to calm me a bit down... He sure knows what I need right now. The moon slowly went back and I transformed back to my human form. Daemon held me before I could make it to the ground. I think I will get used to transforming back from human to wolf. Going around naked is nothing to werewolves though Daemon shades my naked body away from people seeing it. I suddenly went shy under his lustful stares. He pulled out h
Rhea's POV But the feeling inside me was restless, my heart feels so heavy and I know the only thing to stop it is fresh air, and inside here were all locked up. Breeze is not coming from anywhere, the room is so dark that you can hardly see anything. I think that I need to open the window or create a hole for the breeze to enter. If not I will suffocate in here. My whole body was heating up and it felt like I was trapped inside a burning flame. Managing to place my palms on the bed, I crawled out and started looking for the window. Pushing some objects alone to the floor and my toes hit some hard objects but the pain inside me was so much that I didn't even notice that I hit my leg on anything. I started taking it slowly till I found the window, I pulled on it but it was locked up. I groaned in annoyance, what do I do... What should I do? Ahh!! The pain was getting too much, so I rushed toward the door banging loudly on it. My bones felt like it was on fire, I cried out an
Daemon's POV Once I was done with whatever I was doing in the office, I stride back to my cabin. It was already night and last as well. I am sure that Rhea would have gone to bed. Reaching the front of my cabin, I noticed the guards that I have assigned her standing fit at the door, on seeing me they were all both submissively. I pushed the door and entered inside but to my utmost surprise, Rhea was not on the bed. This is late. She should be in bed sleeping. "Mate!" I called out thinking that she might just be in the latrine but got no response. I got worried and walked toward the latrine, I pushed the door open and noticed that she wasn't there. I went to the closet and she was not there either. I panicked, where could she be by this time of the night? But her guards are out there which means that she might be here somewhere... But where? I spun around to scan the room and suddenly I felt the cold wind hit my face, it was chilling outside and the window was open. Wait!
Mercy's POV "What do you mean?" Kian asked her, "She will have to take the medication **Sleeping portion** for her wolf before the moon comes out if not the wolf can not be tamed," I gasped, holding my mouth from making any silky sound. So Miss. Bela has been the witch all this while. So she knew about Luna Rhea and had been helping Kian trap it down. This is pure wickedness! "No, I don't want it tamed," "Then what?" She raised a brow at him, "Just kill the goddamn wolf and live her wolfless," "Okay but it is risky, she might die," my heart pondered fast at their conversation. "Do anything but don't let her die," she nodded at him, "One more thing... be fast," he turned around and walked away. I hid behind the pillar as she turned around and scanned the place before entering the kitchen. I slowly tiptoed close to the kitchen and squatted in a way that she couldn't see me before crawling quietly inside. I went close to the nearest down cabinet that was left open and
Mercy's POV I was in the kitchen helping out when the other omegas rushed inside giggling, sounding all excited. Others like me were curious as to why the sudden excitement. This period has been one hell of a thing, no going or entering the pack and at the same time torturing and starving everyone to death just to get Luna Rhea's attention. We all know how she cherishes the pack though I always hope that she doesn't come back here but the news the omegas dropped had my heart flipped up, "She is back," "Who is back?" Someone asked. "Luna Rhea is back!" I instantly froze on my spot, "Our days of suffering are over!!" My mind was no longer in their conversation, how could Daemon allow Luna Rhea to come back? I thought that they were mates and he was supposed to care for her. Yes, I didn't get to tell him about the information that I heard between Sheila and Alpha Kian because he suddenly placed a strict rule that the guards shouldn't grant an exit for any single soul in the p
