Rhea's POV "What do you mean? To change a Beta," confusion laced through his voice. Retaining my frosty look, I uttered, "I no longer want Lila as my beta," "How?" "You heard me right, change her," "Change her to what position exactly and then who will be your beta?" He asked, his gaze still focused on my every move. "I don't care about the position that you give her but the main thing is to change her and about my beta... Mercy is fit for the position," "WHAT!!" My words came as a shock to him. Staring at me expressionlessly, "That is bullshit," he growled. "That's the highest humiliation to Lila, demoting her and having a commoner ascend her position," he disapproves instantly. And to be honest, his words hurt me. So right now he knew that it would be a humiliation but when he was disgracing me and tossing me around like I wasn't enough, he didn't know that it was a humiliation. I gulped hard, pushing back the tears that were adamant about appearing. "Then have
Rhea's POV Walking through the hallway that leads to the packgarden, I allowed Mercy to direct the way. Stepping my feet inside the glamorous garden, I noticed a man about 6'6 standing at the other end with his back facing us. I turned to Mercy who was standing beside me, "Go and get two glasses of wine," she nodded and instantly walked away. And then I have only left alone with the man who I ensured to be Sam from the Thorn Pack. "Beta Sam," stopping behind him, I called. A satisfying smile graced his lips, he turned to meet my gaze. At some point, I was stunned. This is my first time seeing a smile on his face. "Is it my pleasure to meet you, Luna Rhea," he took in my right hand and gave a small gentle kiss on the back before releasing them. His sudden demeanor surprised me, clearing my throat I motioned for him to have a seat. "So..." "So how have you been Luna Rhea?" He smiled at the last name, interrupting my words. "Hmmm…. I mean," I cleared my throat. "I
Rhea's POV Finally, the day of the party has arrived. Though for three days now I haven't heard from Lila which was a bit surprising because since her demotion a day had never passed by without her coming to my chamber or office to yarn out her frustration in my face. I sighed and pulled my mind away from those thoughts. Whatever she is going through has nothing to do with me. It was semi-darkness already, and I could clearly hear the loud chattering of noise outside the pack house. I guess that the pack members have started coming out for the event. Hopefully, since it is a celebration of the cooperation of the four packs, Daemon has ensured that the pack members from the whole pack are allowed to attend not only the Alpha or Luna. Though I am curious if the Thorn Pack can accommodate us all. I was standing beside my closet, my eyes fixed on the body hug silky long blue gown that was hanging freely in my wardrobe. I specifically pulled out this cloth to wear tonight. My exci
Rhea's POV I froze at that moment. But before I could react a loud growl silenced the air, confusing me. I pulled my head to where the loud growl erupted from, Kian... Why the sudden affection from him? Kian has never acted like this before, first at the entrance of the door and now this! The booming music has long stopped and every attention was on the three of us. Kian looked outraged. My gaze darted back to Daemon but his attention was fixed on Kian, showing no emotions. "How dare you growl at your king?!" "Have you lost it?" Daemon snapped, barely in a low tone. Not caring to mask his emotions, he seems infuriated and ready to smash ahead. I watch Kian's face hardened, unsmiling, I sense the way his body is trembling with raw hatred. For some odd reason, he had his gaze fixed on Daemon. Not ready to look away. What is this madness? Has he forgotten that Daemon is the king? There are so many eyes on him for goodness sake, why growling at him because the last ti
Rhea's POV The atmosphere around the hall wasn't a pleasant one at all. I can feel the pitiful and disgusting look hurling toward Sheila's direction by the thongs, and if eyes can kill I so much believe that I won't be standing here at all. Kian's face is mirrored in anger and fury, what happened and where the bravery came out from is definitely something I have no idea about. Part of me feels delighted for what I did while the other part seems furious at my formidable acts just now; feeling jealous over another male, that's a taboo. But that single act seemed to put a fascinating smile on Daemon's face, "Is nice having you all here tonight," He announced, his voice seeming delightful and welcoming. From the corner of my eyes, I can feel the thoughtful look that Sam is throwing in my direction. I swallowed and pretended as if I had no idea. "It is a thing of honor to have you all here, as a matter of fact, this event was actually a way to celebrate the cooperation of the fo
Rhea's POV It hasn't been up to three minutes since I left the party room and was walking down the hallway when I noticed that I had been followed. I clutched the hem of my dress, thinking that it was Daemon but when I spun around instantly I couldn't see a thing. My mouth draws up an unsatisfying line. "Who is there?" I asked confidently, ensuring to hide my fear and control the heavy pounding of my heart. I swiveled around but to my surprised self there was nobody behind me, but I could feel a presence trailing beside me. Turning around instantly at the other side, my gaze falls on the figure before me. "Sam," I stammered. "Did I startle you or we're expecting to see someone else?" Sam spoke softly as I took in his appearance. I didn't even notice his dress during the party, he looked breathtaking in his whitish-colored tuxedo. Clearing his throat, he chuckled as he noticed the way I was looking at him. "Well I saw you leaving the party room and I decided to come
Rhea's POV Looking at him for a while, I sighed and walked over to my dressing table acting like he wasn't there and as well ignoring his glares. His penetrating glares were roving aimlessly behind my back, brushing it off I shrugged and I pulled out the hairpin that Mercy used to hold my hair earlier allowing my hair to fall on my face. I was about to remove my clothes when suddenly his impending voice loomed around the room, "Where are you coming from?" Dropping the hairpin on the table, I turned to face him. "Excuse me," I scowled. "I demand! Where are you coming from?" His brow curled up in a rage. "The party of course, or do you have me go anywhere else other than the party?" I raised a brow at him and that seemed to have infuriated him more. He forcefully pushed the stool to the floor and stood up from the bed matching toward me. His face hardened and his lips were pressed up in a scowl. "What shameless length can you go? First was King Daemon and now his bet
Rhea's POV I woke the next day with an aching groin, the sun from outside my window was reflecting rays inside the room making it a bit brighter. I was sprawling on the floor of the room with a sharp pain between my thighs and my vaginal. I didn't remember what happened last night though the only thing I was able to recall was losing consciousness. So I swiveled to stare at Mercy who was sitting beside me on the same floor. I can see tears in hers, the pain lurking around there. "Hey..." the word came out more like a whisper, on noticing my gaze she instantly wiped away the tears in her eyes and put on a smile on them. "You're awake, Luna," she turned to look at me, giving me a smile that doesn't match the pain in her eyes. "Why are you here?" Instead of the question in my mind, this slipped out of my lips. "It hasn't been long since I entered and found you like this," she said, fighting back the urge of breaking down. Sighing, I stared down at myself, confused abou
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
