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
Daemon's POV The crescent-brimming light from the moon outside casts through my window flames giving my room a sliver of light. I sat at the edge of the bed unable to get any sleep due to the sudden strange unwavering pain around my chest. The door opened and Sam walked in with a cup in his hand, he was still in his sleeping wear, a black cloak with whitish dots around the fabric. If not for the pain that I was going through, I could have laughed at his choice of dress this night, this dress screams feminine. "Here," he passed me the cup, "At least the medicine will help put you to sleep till dawn," I nodded my head at him, a tiny smirk on my lips showing my appreciation. He smiled, imitating the same gesture with a slight nod. Back in my office in the morning, hopefully, the pain was not that much anymore, all thanks to the medicine. I am sitting in my office chair flipping through the files on my desk when suddenly a knock comes at the door. "Come in," my deep,
Sheila's POV I exited my room after donning my pair of high black heels. That incident at the party night left me embarrassed, I wasn't expecting her comeback and this only makes me question her relationship with Daemon. And after leaving that party in nothing but shame, and thinking about my next move though my whole attention is focused on her. Since the day her existence was known, my relationship with Daemon cracked. Though we are fuck buddies but I have always had a thing for him and that's why I accepted that proposal of warming his bed and satisfying him anytime he wants it. But today I have decided to step out of my room and go see him. Staying locked up all day in my room is going to pave the way for him and that sultry Luna and trust me; it is the last thing that I ever wished for. I walked down the steps toward Daemon's office, my fingers brushing through the brick marbles on the walls. A strong wind entered through the windows on the hallway hitting my bare skin
Rhea's POV I don't know but today I decided to come out of my room after I heard that Kian wasn't in the pack. I have been locked up here for some days and already feel like I'm going to suffocate to death, trapped alone here doing nothing always pulls me into a deep depression. I need to have my mind focused maybe on something so that I can keep going. As for me now, I don't think that I need to dress to impress again, I slide into my comfy clothes; a pair of black jeans and a hoodie to hide the fingerprints and bruises around my neck and skin. Using makeup, I hide the dark circles under my eyes. I sat on top of my bed with my feet placed on the small center table in my room when suddenly a knock came in. "Come in," Mercy walked in with a glass of coffee in her hand, "Good day, my Luna," she greeted, I returned her greeting with a nod. Taking the glass from her, I sipped the coffee, "Hmmm... This feels good," I mumbled with a lingering smile across my lips. Mercy g
Rhea's POV With a lump in my throat, I managed to smile at her, "Mercy, I know but I believe that you know my condition, and besides Kian had me locked up so meeting the king is going to make him suspect that I might have sneaked out from my room," I said, giving her thousands of reasons why I shouldn't meet him. "So what next?" She asked. "Fine, go tell him that I am not around... That you're unable to find me anywhere around the pack," Not long after I had finished speaking, I heard a surprised voice that had me trembling from where I was standing. "Are you now teaching your maid how to lie?" I gulped hard, "Dae... King Daemon," I stammered as Mercy stepped aside for him to walk in. Swallowing the big lump that has formed at my throat as I watched him stride forward with so much arrogance, his aura stretching out demanding submission. I held onto my breath as I can feel my palms begin to sweat, his face has an expressionless mask on making it hard to read. Locking his
Rhea's POV To claim what...? This is not going to happen, I seriously need to think fast. I need a solution to this madness before anyone else could hear this. He is sure not going to start this right now, I can sense the seriousness in his voice. This is total madness, claiming a married woman, and trust me this is not going to end well. I know despite not being a match for a Lycan, I am sure that Daemon won't leave this pack with me without having to face some challenges like fighting with Kian and some of our pack members which I am sure that Daemon will win. But what could become of me after that; his wife or mistress? How will the world view me? A Luna that couldn't keep his marriage but had the damn gut to seduce the king... That's viewing me as a whore. Not only will I fail my parents but the whole pack that I have been enduring and fighting for till today. Sighing I stared up at Daemon who had a stoic expression. "This doesn't seem right," "Every single thi
Sheila's POV Standing on the balcony of my room staring outside in thought, I heard a faint knock at the door. Surprisingly I tilted my neck in confusion, I wasn't expecting anyone. The knock came again, forcing me to drag my legs to the door in anger. I haven't been in my right mind since the incident and what I don't need right now is disturbance. Pushing the door open, I wanted to yell to whoever the intruder was but however, my mouth got glued up as I locked eyes with Jerry. "Hmmm," I forced up a smile to my lips, "You came," I shifted to the other side, making space for him to walk in. He nodded at me before stepping inside, "I wasn't even expecting you today, well I guess you're good at your job," locking the door, I said before walking inside the room to have a seat. "Sit," he nodded and sat down before passing the document in his hand over to me across the table. "What's this for?" I inquired, collecting the files from him. "Is about the research, everything 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
