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 "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
Rhea's POV "Today, we are gathered here for the coronation of our Alpha, Kian, and his mate, Luna Rhea, as well as for the merging of the two powerful packs, Clawson pack and Blackwood pack," declared the Elder, eliciting applause from the crowd. The atmosphere today was serene, and every soul present was composed until moans were heard. The photo of Kian and I that were projected on the wall suddenly changed to a pornographic video, featuring my husband, Kian, as the protagonist. The skin in between deepened in a frown as I stared at the projector in front of me trying to figure out what might be going on. The soft light in the room blends out all that cellulite on the feminine figure in lingerie straddling Kian, my husband. I watched with a pang in my heart at the intense video, how passionately they kissed each other, their lips moving in sync with Kian's hand sliding into her pants and rubbing her clits. My face scrunched in disgust as a throaty sound flew out from th
Rhea's POV "What a heartless creature you are," his words tore my heart. "You knew too well that she wasn't feeling that strong, and you dragged her into the water, for what exactly... to drown her to death or what?" "I didn't do it!" I pleaded desperately. "What didn't you do?" I could hear the anger in his voice. Through the haze of my tears, I could see a deadly smirk playing at the corners of Fiona's lips as our eyes met. "I feel so cold," Fiona said, rubbing her hands together and pretending to shiver. "Please, Kian, can you warm me up?" Glaring at me, Kian wrapped his coat around Fiona's shoulders and pulled her close in a warm embrace. With a nasty look in my direction, he turned and walked away with Fiona by his side, leaving me all alone by the fountain. It hurt but it was so bad because I couldn't do anything. I dragged myself out of the water, my clothes drenched and my spirit broken. Sitting on the edge of the fountain, I thought back to the early da
Daemon's POV Standing in front of the wall mirror in my bedroom, I stared at my appearance, admiring my features. My beta Sam came in with black clothes wrapped with white nylon. "Here for the occasion," he said. But merely looking at the suit, I scoffed and dismissed him with a slight wave of my hand. I am Daemon Thorn, the Alpha of the Thorn pack, and the Lycan King of the werewolf realm. Today was the coronation ceremony of one of the strongest packs in this realm, and their Alpha Kian had invited me over to grace his ceremony and discuss business issues. I was known as a merciless, ruthless, manipulative, vicious, and cold-hearted creature, feared among the whole werewolf realm, but I cared less about that. Only my beta, more like a brother to me, Sam, knew truly who I am underneath the personality that I portrayed outside. I can detect the smile that will be looming around Alpha Kian's lips when I will enter his ceremony, another reason for him to brag about my p
Rhea's POV I wasn't supposed to feel drawn to another man's scent, nor should I have found it intrusive given that I already had a mate and husband. Despite my attempts to discard the handkerchief, I found myself gazing back at it after giving it a gentle squeeze. With a resigned sigh, I picked it up and headed inside. As I walked through the hallway, I greeted those who passed me and acknowledged their greetings in return, making my way towards my room. Upon reaching it, I couldn't help but smile at the familiar sight. This was a place where I could unwind and clear my head, the atmosphere always soothing. Stepping inside, my grin widened as I took in the sight before me. Only moments ago, I had been berating Kian for forgetting my birthday, but now my spirits lifted as I approached the bouquet of flowers on my bed. I sank down onto the bed, feeling it dip beneath my weight, and leaned forward to inhale the sweet fragrance of the blooms - it was tantalizing and wonderful. Su
Rhea's POV My eyes shot open, and my breathing became ragged, as if a weight was crushing my chest. I gasped for air, causing the room to spin around me. Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell to the floor. Thankfully, Mercy caught me before I hit the ground. The realization that Kian was sleeping with someone else, especially my assistant and Beta, made my heart ache. It was a humiliating thought that someone who shared intimate moments with my husband was working alongside me to manage pack affairs. The tears were streaming down my face as I clamped my hand over my mouth, trying to hold back my silent screams. "Oh! Mmmm… Come on," "So good!" My heart constricted as I heard their dirty words, causing me to feel grief and pain. For a few moments, I forgot about the meeting until Mercy cleared her throat behind me. In response, I cleared my throat and quickly blinked away the tears in my eyes. With trembling hands, I stood up and grasped the handle, determined not to let them
Rhea's POV "Why did you allow Kian to mark you?" I was dumbfounded for a moment before I regained my composure. What was he talking about? As I looked up at him, I noticed his narrowed gaze, filled with ridicule. His mouth twitched in disgust as his question replayed in my head. Under his authoritative voice, my legs trembled, and my chest quickly rose and fell. What did he mean by that? I stared back at him, not knowing how to respond. The air was tense the moment his question left his lips. Before I could process everything, he asked again. "Why did you let him mark you?" My eyelids flew open as my heart pounded rapidly. I could have laughed at his ridiculous question. Everyone knows that I am legally married to Kian. Why the unnecessary inquiry? Despite wanting to laugh, the seriousness in his tone left me speechless. All I could do was stare back at him. There was an undeniable tension between us. I felt a pull towards him, for some strange reason. Something in
