Rhea's POV If I have ever been confused in life then I might be lying because right now nothing seemed to be making sense to me. I stood in front of my window looking outside the cloud, the bulb casting a dim light on the room. Throughout our journey from Thorn pack back to here has been one silence of a thing. My mind was in chaos that I didn't even know when we arrived. "Mine," Daemon's words replaying back in my mind, he keeps addressing me as his at any slightest opportunity that he gets which is strange, knowing fully well that I am a married woman with a mate. Letting out a huff, I blew off the strand of my hair that was almost covering my eye away from my face. I leaned into my window flame, my gaze fixed on the sky. I wished that I could find answers to my confusion in the windy clouds. I haven't seen Kian since I arrived though I was informed that he went for Luna's coronation to one of the packs that we are allying with, with no other but Lila as his plus two toni
Daemon's POV My eyes turned hazy, I was been mind link by my beta, Sam. I sat on the stool beside my bed with a glass of wine swirling around my hand. My head hurts, I still can't get her image off my mind. Is hard to resist my beast from claiming her right away. "What?!" I grunted in my usual deep and cold voice, unable to hide my frustration and rage at bay. Does he always have to disturb me? "Where are you? I have been searching everywhere for you and I noticed that you weren't at your office, strange," he spoke with a quick breath. I furrowed my eyebrow, confused, "Why?" "I thought that you were supposed to be at Luna's coronation with the other pack Alphas... What's the name again?" I sighed at the last statement. "Mtcheww," he hissed, taking me by surprise, "Please where are you?" He replied in haste, and before I knew it. My room door was pulled open, revealing Sam. "Hmm," he smiled, a victorious smirk playing on his lips like he just won a marathon. "Here you
Rhea's POV It wasn't that long before Mercy left my room and I was engrossed in my thoughts when I instantly felt a sharp pain around my gut. I gasped and grabbed the duvet tight and after a moment it stopped. I shrugged and shoved it away, maybe it was one of those random cramps. I sighed and turned to the other side of the bed to have my drink, still holding the glass tumbler in my right hand. When it hit me again, harder and sharper but this time in my chest and around my stomach. I screamed, the glass slipping out from my hold and pieces on the floor. What is happening to me? What is going on? And just like before, the pain eases off. I breathed out and shook my head, I don't think that I have to worry about the pain. I am sure that it is one of those random cramps that happen when not having enough rest or surely, maybe due to overthinking. I think that I need to rest and relax for a moment. I was covering myself with the duvet when it all started again. I have never fel
Rhea's POV I woke up with an aching groin, fuck... My whole body still hurts especially my head. I think that I might have a margarine not after experiencing a pain that hurts more than death itself. I feel so sick and disoriented. I noticed that I can't seem to move my body, I am just facing upward. Using minutes to figure out how I might have arrived here and that's when the image of Mercy rushing into my room when I was almost losing consciousness slipped into my mind. A wave of anger suddenly flowed through me, she wasn't supposed to see me at my worst. Now I feel humiliated and worthless. Slowly swirling my head around, I glanced around the room. On my left, a computer was stationed beside me monitoring my heartbeat and blood pressure. I noticed something on my hand, looking down I noticed a cuff that was tightened around my arms for taking readings. On my right-hand side is a plastic clamp placed over my finger, and an intravenous tube fixed on my upper left arm where the
Rhea's POV "You know I have thought how bad it is that my dear wife doesn't know what it feels like to have sex," he paused with a nasty smile. "And I will be a bad person if I keep ignoring her desires," "What nonsense are you talking about?" I am scared of the next word that he was going to say, he seemed to have evil plans not after having Fiona, Lila, and some young other girls all dressed in lingerie. My heart was racing fast. "I noticed that slapping and torturing you now has no effect on you and I decided that a little play tonight won't hurt, right dear wife," he finishes the last statement with a wicked smile. My heart is going up and down in panic but I refuse to show my emotions. "I have decided that tonight you will be a voyeurist," I felt my heart ripped apart at his word, what is he talking about? "A voyeurism," I unbelievably repeat. "Yes, you heard me, right," he spoke to me directly, not even caring to hide his remark since people are in here. Don't do
Rhea's POV It has been a few weeks after the dreadful night, though it is hard but I have decided to focus on the pack affairs and pull my mind from anything that has to do with Kian and his mistresses. I can not keep hoping for a man whose is neck bent in seeing me in pain and agony to change. I stood beside my office window looking down at the pack members walking around and going to their respective places. Knock. Knock "Come in," I promptly announced after the third knock. The door was pushed open and Lila walked in with files in her hands. "Here," I heard the files roughly placed on top of my desk. Shutting my eyes, I inhaled sharply. "Have you suddenly gone mute that you no longer greet your Luna?" I felt a sudden silence at the other end, turning around and my gaze fell on her. My eyes were frosty, hard, and filled with coldness but still, I maintained a nonchalant expression. "I asked a question that demands an answer," "Hmm..." she smiled, "Is not my faul
Rhea's POV "Excuse me," she gasped, her gaze moving from Mercy to me. "You heard me right, Lila, leave us," I pulled my gaze from her and averted it to the open door in front of us. Following the direction of my eye, it fall on the door before she turned to look at me, "I am your beta, shouldn't I know what the information is all about," I noticed Mercy tensed at her words and that's when my eye fell on the file behind me. Picking up the file, I threw it at her, "As my beta, I instruct you to pick up some omegas and go work on that southern part of the pack," Despite how calm my voice seemed, the contempt and vile in each and every word that left my lips had her frozen. It feels like she has been drenched in a tub of ice cube water. "Please if you can excuse us, Lila," I motioned for her to leave, beating her in her own game. "Ah... Whatever," she groans loathly on regaining herself and angrily stomps out from the place but before she could make it to the door. I h
Rhea's POV Daemon leaned in, closer so that our noses could briefly collide. I can feel his hot breath against my lips, I nervously swallowed the big lump that has managed to form in my throat. I suddenly felt hot, the atmosphere was not in my favor at all because I could feel the tension in the air. What... What is he up to? I just couldn't tell because I couldn't think straight. Brushing his lips past my cheeks to my ear, "Daemon to you," I felt him say it like it was the right thing to do. Gulping hard, I placed my hand over his chest and suddenly pushed him off me, his gaze met mine again and I can see the coldness in them for our sudden detachment from each other. "I am sorry, my King, but it is taboo and against the custom to address a king by his first name," clasping my hands together, I lowered my head. I don't know his reasons for doing this but what I don't want is the wrath of a king on me. I haven't survived Kian, so tell me if it is this angry devilish kno
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
