Rhianna's POV

It wasn't like I wanted to bump into him or anything. I always hated being so close to the twins. They brought some kind of feelings in me that I didn't very much like.

They were like danger lights, and I wanted to stay far, far away.

I looked up into Forrest's bright green eyes. They glowed. So bright. He was handsome. No, women would call him hot as hell. He was also a Playboy and a devil.

Hell. All the three brothers were handsome, even though they were all a*sholes.

"You weren't looking either," I snapped at him, suddenly angry with him, with everything and everyone in the world.

What the hell did I do to be cursed like this? For the infinite times, I wished I had my parents, I wished they hadn't died.

He growled under his breath and glared down at me.

He was shocked, and angry. Of course.

I was shocked too when those words left my lips. Usually Nia was the one who did things like this. But now here I was, staring into the eyes of the man who was called The devil by the people around him and I was calling him out on his mistake?

Maybe I was starting to grow some spine without Nia. I didn't mind it. It feels good to stand up for myself for once. Nia was right. I was the one to blame for the way I was treated.

Forrest looked angry and his bright green eyes became dark, showing a hint of his Alpha wolf.

All the three brothers are from Royal Alpha Werewolf line, but Theodore was the king, because he was the eldest, and because these two didn't actually care.

He growled again.

I was scared, but I didn't care anymore.

What the hell could he do to me that my mate hadn't already done? Glare at me? Growl?

Fuck him. Fuck all of them.

I had never spoken a word against him, I had never done anything to offend him, but... he was always looking at me like just looking at me was hard for him. Why? I knew I wasn't sexy like some of his lady friends, but I wasn't really ugly either. I knew that much.

"You-" He started and I cut him off with a wave of my hand. I had had enough of all of their attitude.

"You could have stepped to the side. You should watch where you are going too. Don't go walking into people," I said as my fingers trembled. I hid it between the folds of my dress. Even though my words came out stronger, my body still betrayed me.

"What did you say?" he growled out and angry tears blurred my vision. I bared my teeth at him. I wanted to punch him, hurt him. Do something, anything. I hated feeling like this, feeling so helpless.

I just wished Nia would come back. Maybe then, I would at least have a fifty percent chance of getting out of this hellhole.

"You heard me," I said, swiping my palms quickly across my cheeks. "Now move. I have to go to my daughter."

"Rhianna, why are you-" I didn't want to listen to him anymore. I pushed him away. He looked surprised as he stumbled back. I marched past him.

My legs were shaking. My heart pounded closer to my ears. I was half running before I reached Peyton's room. I could still feel his eyes boring into my back. I didn't dare turn back.

I reached Payton's room, shaking, trembling and slammed the door behind me and locked it just in case. I knew he wouldn't follow me, but still I didn't want to take the chance.

I took in a deep calming breath. Every cell in my body was shuddering from the interaction I just had with Forrest.

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO? F*ck me.

Payton's caretaker looked up at me with a worried look in her eyes. She was one of the few people who actually cared for me. She was only a few years older than me, and she was a blessing in disguise. I couldn't have survived the past two weeks without her.

I would go as far as to call her my friend. My only friend. My only well wisher in this snake pit full of people with vile intentions.

"What did that a*shole do now? I will run away with you, Luna Rhianna. You know that. I have a wolf, and she is stronger, and I can keep both of you safe. You- he keeps hurting you and I don't like it."

Anne was an Delta wolf and a trained fighter. Theo appointed her as Peyton's nanny because she could protect Peyton if Peyton was in any danger --and now he was the one who was threatening OUR little girl.

Anne's wolf Trena was actually stronger than Nia and bigger. Of course, every wolf around us were stronger and bigger.

"I can't ask that of you, Anne. You have a family here and they love you, and I can't ask you to end your life for me."

"My parents will be alright, and I still haven't met my mate, thank the goddess. I don't want a mate after all of this."

"Your mate will be much much better. Not everyone is like Theodore," I said with a sigh. Once upon a time also, I did believe not everyone is like Theo. But I thought that because he was above every one of them. But now I realized he was a merciless, cruel, manipulative b*stard.

"I don't want to gamble. But come on, Luna. I consider you a friend and I want to help you."

"It will be alright. I can bear it for a few more days. I know Nia will come back soon, and then I will leave this hellhole. Don't worry about me, Anne."

"But I fear that he will break you completely before that," she said with a worried look on her face as I picked up Peyton from her crib. I cradled her closer to my breast. "How about we just kill him?"

I was tempted to, but I knew I would have to run forever if I ever killed the beloved King of Westerlands packs. Westerlands packs consist of ten smaller packs around the west side of USA, and Theo was admired and adored by everyone.

I wouldn't stand even a 0.5 percent chance if I killed him.

As if Peyton could sense my state of mine, she touched my cheek with her chubby hand.

Just a touch from her, and I would feel like I was healed. My pain would go away, and everything would be alright again. She was my only source of heaven in this hell.

"Mommy loves you, Peyton. Mommy loves you so much."

"Ma..." she said in her beautiful little voice and smiled. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine.

I was startled out of my happy bubble when someone knocked on the door. Knock was not the right word. More like pounded. Hard.

"Open the door."

"It is one of the twins," Anne said, her eyes wide.

I shook my head. Was he here to shout at me some more for talking back? I didn't want to listen to any of it now. I should have just kept my mouth shut and walked away.

Taking in a deep breath, I clung to my daughter's tiny body like she was my lifeline. She actually was.

I pressed a finer against my lips, motioning Anne to be quiet.

"Do not open the door," I mind-linked her and her eyes widened as she shook her head.

"He sounds angry."

"Yeah, I did something stupid," I said as sat down on the bed. "Just... don't breathe loud."

"He already knows we are in here. He can smell us, and our fear."

"I am not afraid," I lied through my teeth and Anne raised her brows. I gave her a shrug.

The pounding increased.

"Rhianna. I know you are inside."

I kept quiet.

"Open the damn door now."

Is this guy fucking insane? Couldn't he let my one misdeed go?

I heard more thud.

"If you don't open, I will kick it down."

I kicked the floor in anger and hissed when I accidentally hit the leg of Peyton's crib. "You still haven't opened the door, Adams." H sounded more than just irritated. "What is wrong with you? Just open the damn door." Anne gulped and walked to the door. "If I die today, take care of Peyton for me, Anne?" I mind-linkd her and she rolled her eyes as if to say I was being dramatic. "I am sure he doesn't want to kill you. Just open the door," Anne replied. From the sound of a boot kicking against the door, I was sure he was going to do as he promised. Kicking the door down. This guy was f*cking insane. This whole family was insane. It was my bad luck that I was saddled with the King of assholes, my freaking mate. Moon Goddess was an idiot.

    Rhianna's POV "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" I was really curious to know what changed all of a sudden. Did they know about Theo and me? "I mean, why now after all these years?" He didn't answer. He just stalked the entire length of the room like a caged animal and grunted and growled. Of course, why would he answer to some lowly Omega? Huh?I gritted my teeth and shrugged."Because..." Fabian tried, but he had no excuse, as well. "Of course, it is not new to me. I mean, I have been here for what... two years and you guys barely even look at me or talk to me. When you talk, it is only to snap at me about some mistake I do, and I do a lot of mistakes, don't I?""Adams... it is not-" Fabian once again trailed off as he met his brother's eyes with desperation. Forrest was still stalking back and forth. He shook his head and let out a low growl. "I know you don't consider me your equal. Of course, I am some lowly Omega who came out of nowhere into your home. You also don't

She would know what to say to me, say to them. She would help me find out if they were really telling me the truth. "Yes. Forrest is right. We will stay until you trust us enough to say what is really wrong. Rhianna... Deep in our hearts, we knew something was wrong and that you were hurting. We came back from Venice when we-" Fabian stopped again, and gave me a conflicted look. My heart... it didn't feel so painful anymore, and I didn't feel so lonely. They came for me? But how? Why would they do it for someone they barely knew? "What do you mean? Did you come from Venice for me? Why?" It made me even more befuddled... to learn more about them. "Just..." Fabian trailed off, looking uncomfortable. I could see that he wanted to say so much, but he was hesitating. Maybe he didn't know whether to trust me

Just his closeness felt like a vile mark on my skin, burning me from within. Touches disgusted me, touches that had once been my reprieve. My mate stumbled back and fell. "NO." An ugly look twisted his face. I could see his anger. He wanted to bury me in his wrath for doing this to him, but... he wouldn't. He didn't want to kill me yet. But I did not understand what exactly he wanted from me. He growled as he stood up, his body covered with fur, his eyes glowing red from his rage. I ran to the door, but before I could open the door, he grabbed me by the back of my dress and pulled me forward before throwing me on the floor. "I told you that you have to learn your place with me. I don't feel happy about your transgressions, Rhianna. You are being an absolute brat." His voice was condescending. He talked with me like I was a five-years-old screaming for ch

He snarled at me, his eyes flashing murderously and punched the wall. I didn't even flinch away from him. I just stood there, my eyes cold, unwavering. I was even surprised at myself right now. Nia would have appreciated this, appreciated what I was doing now. The last two weeks had finally caught up to me. I had done everything he asked, I had f*cked him because I was so scared... and I was DONE. He looked at me like I had lost my mind and gone completely crazy. Maybe I had, because this wasn't like myself, this was strange. I wasn't this woman. I had never talked back at anyone, let alone my strong, powerful mate. He was the king. If he wanted, he could do everything he had promised to do, but... "Peyton. What about Peyton? You will die and leave her? How can you-" He suddenly looked almost scar

He pretended to be a good man with her, but we know he is not the man he was with Rhianna."I knew it wasn't just my wishful thinking that she finally saw Theo for what he was. I had seen the pain in her eyes and I knew it was more than just me shouting at her and being a jerk to her.When she stumbled into me in the hallway, everything in me begged to wrap my arms around her and pull her into my embrace and never let go. It made me angry that I could never do that, never touch her like that, because she belonged to someone else, that she loved someone else. So I did what I always did. I snapped at her like a f*cking jerk. It was not an excuse for being a jerk all the time, but I didn't know how else to do that. I was a desperate fool."You are.

I just couldn't imagine how she was his mate, and how the feelings we had for her was not something more meaningful. I knocked on Peyton's door, and a woman opened the door. I had seen her around in the castle, but she was definitely not Anne. She looked nervous and twitchy. I had a feeling something was absolutely wrong. What was going on here? "Something bad.

That is the only good thing about you - your beauty. Hmm... and you do know what you do in bed," he said with a leer as he studied me up and down. The dress was as beautiful as it was revealing and when he looked at me, I felt dirty. "Now, let's go say hi to the Alphas, and Lunas, okay. Be a good girl, Rhianna. If you want your friend to live, you will be a good girl." Every word coming out of him was patronizing, demeaning.The more he talked, the more I wanted to defy him, deny him of his demands.I hissed.My anger simmered beneath the surface like a smoldering ember, intense and consuming.

There was no regret in his brother's eyes...The look in Rhianna's eyes, one of gratefulness and dispair made me want to smash the castle down until I found her friend."I think it is Beyden," Forrest said as soon as I walked into Peyton's room. I growled in response and stopped when I saw Peyton looking at me with wide eyes.I expected her to cry, but instead she miled at me, making my heart melt at the sight of her smile. She was the most beautiful little girl and I hated that Theodore was such a bastard to this precious darling's mother. I smiled and sighed as I picked her up when she waved her hands up and down."Come here, princess." I lifted her up.

When he makes love to someone else..." I scoffed. What Theo did was not making love. He sighed as if he understood me. "...you will feel it, feel the pain of the betrayal. It will hurt your heart, it will feel like you are being repeatedly punched in your soul. You will feel like you are dying," he said in a voice that sounded so desperate. Why did I not feel anything when Theo cheated on me? Did he do something to hide it? I wondered if his deception ran deeper than I initially thought, if his cruelty had started the moment he met me? But why me? What did I do to deserve this? Did he choose me because he thought I would be easy enough to kick and then calm me down? "No. I didn't even feel a pinch of it. I found out he was cheating only because I was trying to surprise him like a fuc
