Rhea's POV The door to the dining room opened and we were greeted by two guards, and they quietly stepped aside upon seeing our faces. Daemon spared me a quick glimpse, noticing how my body suddenly shivered. I know he knows the reason, the dining area is already filled with Lycans of all kinds. The atmosphere will surely intimidate me, I guess. The noise suddenly died down and the entire crowd turned quiet and all eyes were on us, well practically on me. I could already feel a mixture of hatred and anger on some of their faces, except Sam and Wilfred. Well, I didn't expect them to jump up and start welcoming me in open arms when every single soul knows about my marriage with Kian and here I am all wrapped in the hands of their king... That's a sultry move if you ask me. And this fucking bastard caused it, I rolled my eyes at him in my head while putting on a fake smile to hide how tense I am feeling right now. Placing his hand behind my back, he helped and guided m
Rhea's POV I clutched a handful of my dresses, feeling the anger in my heart. This whole thing is confusing and at the same time annoying. This is a reputation that I am trying to maintain but here it is crumbling in front of me. Not only did I have a failed marriage but my image is rubbing in the mud in front of every single soul. Rushing out, I mistakenly bump into someone, "Sorry," I mumbled, not caring to cast a glance at the person. "Seems you still haven't dropped your clumsy attitude," I halted on my track at the voice and spun around to see the owner of the voice. "Li...la," my eyes almost bulged out before it suddenly dawned on me that she might be here to see Wilfred. "Hmmm," smirking she stepped forward, "You don't cease to amaze me, Rhea," "Luna Rhea to you, at least respect that," I warned, turning around to leave but her next word held me in one spot. "Luna, hahaha, really..." She ridiculed, "The title that you no longer deserve," My eyes harde
Wilfred's POV I heard everything that went on between Luna Rhea and my mate, Lila. I heard their every single conversation and I felt my heart pieces at every word that left their lips. The exposure was the one that hurt most, after Luna Rhea left the dinner area, I noticed how uncomfortable the place was for her, especially after Daemon's announcement which even worsened her mood. I watched her leave the place ignoring Daemon's growls and calls which left a confused and suspicious mask on the faces of the other Lycans in the room, well except Sam. Daemon instantly walked out from the dinner area, a minute after Rhea ambled away. I didn't blame him, I sometimes admire his patience and calculating nature of tolerating and watching his mate in the arms of another for months. Not that long, Sam stood up and left and of course, I was left alone with the other Lycans. Their curious look was on me knowing that I will eventually be the next to walk away and yes... I didn't inten
Rhea's POV I angrily sauntered inside my room and tried locking up the door and to my surprise, Daemon's blazing black eyes came into view. He is standing in front of me, holding the door, stopping it from closing with his right leg. It was obvious that he had been following me. He was glaring at me and I don't know why. Didn't he see that I'm not in the mood right now besides I am the one that every single soul pissed off today so I am the rightful person to be angry but his penetrating eyes seemed to see right through me. Just like earlier, I wish for the ground to swallow me but that will only make me a coward. So I went away from his biting stare and stride toward my closet. Opening my wardrobe, Daemon's baleful voice looms over the room, "Why did you leave?" I halt on my track, leaving the wardrobe half open. I turned to face him, the skin on my forehead folded confusingly, "Leave where?" Daemon stepped inside the room, slowly closing the door behind him. He was
Rhea's POV My body is crying in pleasure that I didn't even know what he was talking about, "Say that you are mine and mine alone," he commanded and at his words, the hairs on my back stood erect making my legs go weak. However, unknowingly I leaned into his arms but before I could say a word, Daemon lifted my face, his eyes were dark and filled with lust. Leaning forward, his lips came crashing down. "Here you are, bro, you have a visitor," What the fuck!!! I was filled with embarrassment. My entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning, and my senses were working around in chaos. I just couldn't think. I couldn't breathe, I was filled with embarrassment. Despite the intruder, Daemon hasn't let go, his hand is still wrapped around my waist pulling me to himself. "SAM!!" He growled, sounding annoyed. "Oh! Pardon me... I didn't know that you guys were... "Fuck it!" He was instantly cut off by Daemon's constant growl. I was just not the one in here
Daemon's POV My legs move swiftly as I angrily stride toward my office, my face showing not a single inkling of my thoughts. I walked past the long corridor, quickening my steps as I headed toward my office. Sam was behind me, one more turn and I approached the tall and huge black door at the end of the corridor. Pushing it open, I walked in and scanned the place till my gaze fell on the maggot sitting across my office chair. "Why are you here?" My pose depicts arrogance and my aura demands submission. I can see how his hands were vibrating in fear before he suddenly slid them into his pants pocket, acting unaffected. My face has an expressionless mask on making it hard for anyone to read. "I am here to see you, King Daemon," he bowed his head in submission. "Why are you here?" I demand again but this time in a harsh tone. "You already know why I am here," he said through his teeth. "Talk or get out!" I bark out the syllables with no trace of emotion in my voice.
Rhea's POV I left Daemon's chamber heading down the hallway, luckily I didn't come with any luggage so my chances of sneaking out is high. My heart wants it here but at times it is better to go with your brain, the only problem I have right now is how to escape. I have not stayed here for too long, and I haven't mastered the surroundings damn well. What am I going to tell the guards out there that I am going out of the pack to do? Think...Think... Think, Rhea! Quietly hitting my palms on my head I let out a frustrated growl. At the other far end of the hallway, I heard murmuring and whispering. Out of curiosity I swirled my head around and started striding toward the place. Almost closer, my gaze widened in suspension as I hid behind the pillar. What is Kian doing here? And what is he doing with Sheila? What are they talking about? I wanted to inch closer and evade their conversation but the two bitches nodded at each other and parted ways. I instantly turned around and
Daemon's POV "So cut off that slack and silly idea of leaving," she was still shocked and that was an opportunity to steal a kiss from her. I inched close and pecked her on the cheeks. Looking at how stunned she looked, I stride back with my hands stuck inside my pants pocket, "Layla here will be your personal assistance," She followed the direction of my gaze and they stopped at a small petite-looking average girl, "Whatever you need she will be of help, I am sorry that she isn't Mercy," her gaze flew open at the last word. "I heard about the relationship you two had but at least for now, Layla will be of help," smiling, I tugged her hair behind her before striding away. Ethan yelled inside for the sudden loss of contact, groaning and wailing but I ignored him and proceeded to where I was going. If I spend one more second there I swear I won't mind carrying her upstairs to my room and lavishing her smooth succulent skin. Sighing I snapped out of my unthinkable imaginatio
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
