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
Daemon's POV "Fuck!!" My fist pounded on my desk, meeting the eyes of Sam who was sitting on the couch beside me. "Fuck. Fuck!" I growled. I kept pacing around my office in a circle while pulling on my hair in frustration. Leaning forward, Sam raised a brow, "You know since I entered here, you have been saying fuck... Fuck, what's wrong?" "You know that you can still talk to me, bro," "Why is it hard to claim her?!" Sam's confusion deepened as he watched my face colored in rage. "Claim who?" He asked, "Wait! Did you find your mate?" I can detect the joy in his voice. "Yes," I mumbled, slowly turning to look at him. "Wow!" He jumped up, giving me a brotherly hug. "I believe that calls for a celebration and not pulling on some stunt here," he taunts, stroking my shoulder but I remained on my spot anger eating me up within. Noticing my expression, the smile slowly fades away. Clearing his throat, Sam furrowed his brow, "If I may ask... can I know who the girl in ques
Daemon's POV "Fuck the goddamn people! I don't give a fuck about their saying," "Then what about her own opinion and feelings?" Does Sam always have to annoy me any further, he should be thinking of how to accompany me to that filthy pack to claim back what truly belongs to me and not here siding with them. A low growl is starting to form at the back of my head, "Is not like she has any choice," I growled. "She is mine after all," "No. No. No, there you go wrong, Daemon," he threw his hands up in the air in disapproval. Do I now have to listen to him as well? "I need you to know that this is complicated and violent is not the best way to resolve this," I glared at him. "What?" He raised a brow after noticing the life-threatening glare that I was hurling his way. "You know that I am spilling facts here, bro," he adds. "What nonsense fact because I need to get there and drag her ass down here!" My voice was deep and filled with sadness. "Nothing new here," he said dr
Daemon's POV Bang! I slammed the door forcefully against the wall, causing everyone in the room to turn their heads toward me. They trembled upon catching sight of my intense and fearsome expression. "King Dae… Daemon," Instantly, every person in the room stood up and bowed subserviently. It was a reaction I had grown accustomed to over time. My mere presence seemed to instill fear in people, and when I was angry, it was even more palpable. I didn't fault them for their reactions; it was just the effect I had on others. "Leave," I commanded, and without hesitation, every soul in the server room scrambled out, except for Sam, who remained engrossed in his work, and focused on the computer in front of him. Striding inside, my eye keeps flickering at the computers mounted at every corner of the room. "Any news, yet," "Nothing interesting yet," Sam retorted. My temples tighten up and it makes me angry. I reached up and rubbed my temples as I continued to glaze around thou
Sheila's POV I paced angrily and restlessly around my room, consumed by deep pain. Something felt off, and my instincts, which had never failed me before, were telling me that everything changed when Luna of the Blackwood Pack entered the picture. Daemon had transformed, becoming a mere shadow of his former self. He no longer gazed at me with the same intensity, and I no longer held his desire. Luna had stolen my place in his heart. I had always consoled myself by believing they were in contact solely due to the alliance, but everything shifted on that goddamn night. My perspective on the situation changed dramatically when Daemon led me into his office. I smiled bitterly, my gaze fixated on the world outside my room window. For a fleeting moment, I thought we were returning to normal, but hell no! It was just a cruel illusion. It became clear that I meant nothing to him once again. With each forceful thrust, all he kept calling and screaming was RHEA complementing and emphas
Rhea's POV I woke up to the faint knock at my room door, Dawn was barely breaking outside through my window indicating that it was still early morning and I was still sprawled in my bed with my eyes looking puffy due to stress and lack of sleep. I have been working effortlessly since my return from the Thorn Pack trying to shove what transpired there from my mind and most especially even though I didn't want to admit it... I am working tirelessly to shake Daemon's image and words out of my head that I barely eat again. The sound across my room door pulled my attention back to reality, who could possibly be here by this time of the day? "Luna, please open the door, the breakfast is ready," the ecstatic voice behind the locked doors causes me to jerk up from my bed. Like seriously, breakfast by this time of the day. "Mercy," I scratched my head and grumbled in annoyance. I yanked the duvet off me and scrambled out from the bed toward the door with a tiring sigh. Opening t
Rhea's POV There was a gasp and murmur among everyone present in the room at that moment. My gaze was fixed on Kian who as well looked taken back by my words. I know that I should have just stood up and walked back to my room but that will just make me a coward and give them enough room to trash me anyhow. I am not ready to stand that low again and watch them step on me like nobody. "Rhea," his deep scary voice echoed through the room but still I remained rooted to my spot. "I advise you to go there and sit down and besides I am sure that no one wants to eat cold food as breakfast," his gaze widened at my words. Maintaining my expressionless face, I noticed his orbs brimmed with ridicule and his like twitched slightly, "Interesting..." Giving me one last glance, he angrily walked out of the room. I watched as Fiona snarled before walking away. Shrugging my shoulders reluctantly, "Anyone else that wants to leave," I glanced at their confused and surprised faces and just th
Rhea's POV "You know..." I suddenly spoke up, "Rejecting me is of no use," he instantly stopped at my words. "I have no wolf to accept your rejection even if you went ahead and rejected me. You think I have something to lose," I took a curious step forward, he is not going to get the whole satisfaction. "What nonsense are you talking about? He swerved to look at me. "You heard me, right, Alpha Kian," my eyes held no fear as those words left my lips like the Luna title meant absolutely nothing to me. Even though within me I am crossing my fingers praying that he doesn't take that bold step Rejection because that title is the only thing that I am only relying on during this period. I can't fail in my marriage and also lose my title. Suddenly, Kian froze like he had poured a full bag of ice on his body. For that moment he couldn't say a word, almost like words were stuck in his throat. I could see the shock and confusion in his eyes. "What is still stopping you? Come on, dea
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
