Rhea's POV 

　　"Excuse me," she gasped, her gaze moving from Mercy to me.

　　"You heard me right, Lila, leave us," I pulled my gaze from her and averted it to the open door in front of us.

　　Following the direction of my eye, it fall on the door before she turned to look at me, "I am your beta, shouldn't I know what the information is all about," 

　　I noticed Mercy tensed at her words and that's when my eye fell on the file behind me. Picking up the file, I threw it at her, "As my beta, I instruct you to pick up some omegas and go work on that southern part of the pack," 

　　Despite how calm my voice seemed, the contempt and vile in each and every word that left my lips had her frozen. It feels like she has been drenched in a tub of ice cube water. 

　　"Please if you can excuse us, Lila," I motioned for her to leave, beating her in her own game. 

　　"Ah... Whatever," she groans loathly on regaining herself and angrily stomps out from the place but before she could make it to the door. I heard her snarling at terrified-looking Mercy before slamming the damn door shut. 

　　"So what is the message all about?" Snapping my gaze from the door, I had it fixed on her. 

　　She stared at the door before stepping closer to me, "Good day, Luna," she smiled, earning a nod acknowledging her presence.

　　"King Daemon sent his gamma to give you this thing," she handed me something that I didn't even notice in her hands all this while.

　　"But I guess gamma Wilfred got a mind link and couldn't make it to your office, so he dropped it for me to send the message across to you," 

　　I slowly took the stuff that was covered in a shiny ribbon from her and gently started unwrapping it.

　　Mercy nodded and turned to leave but I called her back, "Who did you say gave this to you?" I asked again to be sure of what I just heard a few minutes ago.

　　"Gamma Wilfred," she answered.

　　Untying it, I almost staggered but I held my ground and exhaled. My eyes widened in shock and horror, the stuff in front of me was enough to stimulate me in all places.

　　"Rose," I looked pale though part of me seemed delighted. The sweet aroma coming out from the rose flower causes a burning fire to begin to light up within me. I can feel the heat spread from my finger that was touching it to the tip of my toes.

　　Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as panic and confusion crawled down my body. What is this all about? Sending me a flower as in what exactly?

　　I looked up to notice that Mercy was still standing there, I glanced at the flower in front of me and then at her.

　　"Who gave this to you?" I asked again but this time with a more serious tone.

　　"Gamma Wilfred from the Thorn Pack," she replied instantly. 

　　I diverted my gaze around in confusion, why did he send a flower to me? I am left in a daze, returning my gaze. I looked at her. 

　　"Leave," nodding, she turned and walked away. 

　　This is serious, what do I do now? How can Daemon, a fierce and vicious king, send me a flower? 

　　I needed to find out before I lost it, so I picked up the flower and rushed out of my office straight to the parking spot without giving a damn about my appearance.

　　"Joshua," I called on my driver. "My Luna," he gave his neck a small bow.

　　"Take me to the Thorn pack," his gaze trailed at my appearance and then at the car.

　　"My Luna, your clothes..."

　　"Just take me to that pack," I forcefully opened the front seat and slid in not caring to hear what he had to say. At this moment I don't care about my appearance, my mind is driving me insane.

　　He rushed toward the driver's seat, igniting the engine and we drove off. 

　　After what seemed like forever, we arrived at the pack. Immediately the car stopped, I suddenly pushed the door open and rushed out.

　　Ambling toward the pack house, "Wow! Luna Rhea, is nice meeting you," I heard Wilfred from behind but I ignored him, fastening my step.

　　Stopping at Daemon's office, I direct his guards to go inform him that I am here to see him. It wasn't that long before the door was opened gesturing for me to enter. 

　　However, immediately after I stepped into the office I slammed the door closed and angrily walked up to him.

　　"What is the meaning of this?!" I roughly placed the flower on top of his desk. 

　　His eyes squinted a little but he didn't pull his gaze away from me, swirling his chair around, he turned to face me.

　　"What is this all about? Why send a flower to me?" I asked, fighting hard the urge to shudder in front of him.

　　His smile spread in a tiny line as he tried to suppress his laugh when taking in my appearance.

　　"Answer me, King Daemon!" I demanded but that only widened his smile. 

　　"You came rushing here when looking like this, did you even stare at your appearance? Or I guess you rushed here on receiving the gift,"

　　My lips got tangled against my mouth as I followed the direction of his insulting smirk. Gosh...! I looked like a mess. 

　　How could I rush here without my footwear, fuck? I guess I left that at my office, and my hair looked messed up from constantly pulling on it in frustration in the car on our way there. And about my dress, let's not talk about it. It is not something that is meant to wear and go visiting a person of high caliber. 

　　Exhaling sharply I groaned in annoyance, "That still hasn't answered my question, King Daemon," 

　　"Daemon to you," 

　　I parted my lips to say something but was quickly greeted by Daemon's large hand on my neck, pushing me against the wall. All thanks to his Lycan speed, I gulped hard holding onto his hand that was gripping my throat. 

　　"Daemon, repeat after me," his eyes met mine and I could see the seriousness in them but I didn't have time to absorb what was going on because the sparks were rather too quick to erupt. 

　　What is wrong with me?
