Rhea's POV

　　After up to seven hours of traveling in silence, we finally arrived in Thorn pack.

　　As soon as the car stopped, Mercy and I got off before our eyes widened in shock.

　　"OMG! This is just like a paradise," I held her lips, stopping her from screaming.

　　"This place really looks amazing, and more than fantastic..." we both nodded thoughtfully.

　　This pack is unbelievable, since I was a toddler till now I have always heard about the mighty pack but today is the first time that I am stepping foot inside here. Everywhere screams luxury and seems breathtaking.

　　Mercy and I were staring like lost puppies till we heard a chuckle from behind. I swiveled my head in that direction and was met by an unfamiliar male face.

　　"Hello, Luna Rhea, pardon my manners for keeping you out here for too long," he bowed his head respectfully with a lingering smile on his lips.

　　I can't lie but this man standing in front of me is damn handsome but so bad it can't be compared to that of Daemon.

　　"Well, if I am to say I think that I somehow loved it that you kept me out here for so long because come on... I think it feels amazing standing here because I can't seem to get enough of this sight," I cracked, earning a laugh from him.

　　He doesn't seem bad though, he seems like a gentleman but his aura shows that he is a person of high ranking. "So excuse me, I have never met you before... Who are you and why are you apologizing?"

　　"Oh! My bad," he groaned with his right hand placed against his chest, as he pulled up a forged hurtful look, earning a confused nod from me and Mercy.

　　Staring at us, he continued with what he was saying, "My name is Gamma Wilfred, the beta was sent on an errand by the king, so he sent me to welcome you and as well lead you to his office,"

　　My heart throbbed; in his office. I can hear the fast beating of my heart, so I am going to see Daemon. Remembering what happened in the hallway that day made me nervous.

　　"Good day, gamma," Mercy instantly greeted, staring at the two of them. I motioned for him to lead us to the king.

　　A comfortable silence falls around us, as we strode through the hallway toward his office. Here is damn beautiful, like nothing that I have ever seen. It is extraordinary.

　　When we approached a door which I am sure is the office, the warriors standing out there shifted so that Wilfred could walk in. They bowed their heads at us respectfully.

　　I can feel the fast racing of my heart, my pulse is throbbing rapidly and I can feel my fraying nerves all at once exhibiting how suddenly nervous I am.

　　As we stood outside the office waiting for Wilfred to come out and allowed us inside, I could feel a heated gaze from the other end of the hallway.

　　Lifting my eyes a bit, my gaze locked with that of a woman. I can remember her vividly, she is the woman from the other day in the hallway. What's her name again? Sheila…

　　She stood there in all her glory, looking stunning and elegant as usual. Her lips curled up in a deadly smirk before she turned around and walked away. And just then the office door opened and Wilfred stepped out.

　　"Please, Luna Rhea, you and your beta can now enter," he shifted for us to walk in.

　　"My king," we bowed our heads in respect to Daemon.

　　"Wilfred, please, leave us, and where is Kian?" He turned to me, his eyes so intimidating and dominating that I had to shift my gaze from him.

　　"Or as usual he is busy," involuntarily, my gaze fell on me.

　　Biting hard on my lips, I mumbled, "He is busy at the pack and couldn't make it and that's why I only have to present him as well as the pack,"

　　"So busy that he had the guts to decline my call!" Daemon barked, in his domineering tone which kept getting harsher with each passing second.

　　My toes hurt fully curled under my heels for having left standing up here for too long, not even when I am flipping out under his lustful and fierce gaze.

　　"On behalf of him and the entire pack, we are sorry for his misbehavior, please pardon him with mercy, my King," I apologized instantly. His gaze became cold and murderous, scaring me.

　　"Don't dare apologize to me," he warned, "Where is your beta?" He eyed Mercy up and down before shifting his gaze to me, "I guess that they were both busy with each other at the pack,"

　　His gaze became stony and his lips which looked like that of red cherries, curled up amusingly, "So hard to speak," he mocked.

　　I bite hard on my lips to the extent that I can feel the taste of my blood on my tongue. He was saying the truth, who doesn't know about my husband's sexual scandal with his mistresses? My heart hurts, and I suddenly felt embarrassed.

　　Noticing the sudden change in my mood, he cleared his throat and motioned for me to sit down. My eyes fell on Mercy who was still standing beside me.

　　I continued giving him a look to allow her to sit as well, for she is like my acting beta now but Daemon's eyes were cold and flawless.

　　"Sit down!"

　　I flinched instantly at his loud voice, shuffling toward the nearby chair in front of me which is actually facing where he is sitting. I couldn't say anything but kept staring back at him.

　　"Leave us!" At his command, Mercy scurried out of his office, leaving just Daemon and I, all alone.
