Rhea's POV

　　The atmosphere around the hall wasn't a pleasant one at all. I can feel the pitiful and disgusting look hurling toward Sheila's direction by the thongs, and if eyes can kill I so much believe that I won't be standing here at all.

　　Kian's face is mirrored in anger and fury, what happened and where the bravery came out from is definitely something I have no idea about. Part of me feels delighted for what I did while the other part seems furious at my formidable acts just now; feeling jealous over another male, that's a taboo.

　　But that single act seemed to put a fascinating smile on Daemon's face, "Is nice having you all here tonight," He announced, his voice seeming delightful and welcoming.

　　From the corner of my eyes, I can feel the thoughtful look that Sam is throwing in my direction. I swallowed and pretended as if I had no idea.

　　"It is a thing of honor to have you all here, as a matter of fact, this event was actually a way to celebrate the cooperation of the four strong packs based on politics and businesses," he finished, earning a clap from the crowds.

　　His gaze falls on me, "And I hope this cooperation brings positivity and leads us to the right path in achieving the best and what truly belongs to us," 

　　"Yes," a loud applause echoed through the room. I felt my heart skip at that very last statement. Why does it feel like his words were directed at me?

　　Kian cleared his throat pulling me out of conflicted thoughts and the next thing I heard was, "Let's the merriment begin!" Came Daemon's voice.

　　However, the music was instantly switched on again, returning the vibes in the room once again. I noticed Kian indirectly clasped my right hand roughly from behind stopping me from making any move, "You can't possibly bring shame here, go apologize to Sheila," he whispered in a commanding tone.

　　"Oh! Do you also want to make her one of your mistresses?" I matched his tone.

　　"Don't you dare!" 

　　"Then why do you care so much?" I mocked, lifting my head a bit to see his angry face. A smug smirk played on my lips, hiding the pain around my wrist.

　　Staring down at my dress, a nasty smile reappeared on his furious face, "Dressing to impress me or should I say gaining attention from the king," 

　　I hitched in a breath at his words before a wide smile break through my face, "I dress elegantly for an important gathering and I bet you shouldn't want your wife looking worthless beside you," 

　　My sudden word seemed to have affected him somehow, clearing his throat, he mumbled, "I bet you know," 

　　And of course, the party was moving quite well just like it was supposed to be. I glanced back at Sheila and watched her storm out of the place. From the other angle, Sam is whispering to Daemon, sparing me a quick glance he suddenly left. Walking through the exact door that Sheila followed some moments ago. 

　　I clenched the hem of my clothes, unable to think straight. I know that this isn't supposed to be bothering me but I see myself troubled with each passing second and the worst is having Kian glued to my side not ready to step away.

　　I see the angry look on Fiona's face watching Kian beside me, not ready to leave my side. 

　　I didn't know what else to do because the last thing I ever want is having this monster beside me and every single soul seemed so interested in the party so I decided to leave.

　　"Hmm..." I turned to him, "I need to use the restroom," 

　　Kian's eye narrowed on me, he took a closer look at me, "You want to use the restroom, right?" I nodded at him.

　　"Then let's go," my eyes widened at him, "Excuse me," I snapped at him, ensuring to keep my voice a bit low.

　　"You heard me right, wife," why the sudden exposure of affection? What is fucking wrong with him? 

　　"Sorry to disappoint you but I won't have you follow me to the restroom, have you lost it, Kian," I shook my head, stubbornly.

　　I noticed his eye darkened a shade, and he inched closer to me but before he could say a word, the Alpha of the moonlight pack stride toward us with his Luna beside him.

　　A smile gracing my lips on seeing them, "Hi, Alpha Dickson and Luna Eleanor, is nice seeing you here," 

　　"Is also nice to meet you two, Alpha Kian and Luna Rhea," they stretched out their hands. I instantly took them, giving them the best smile that I could muster.

　　They just saved a soul right now, from Kian's smile and tone he wasn't all pleased to see them. And seriously I am not in here for their long boring talks so I excused myself.

　　"Sorry, but I need to use the restroom," 

　　"Oh! That's okay," Eleanor smiled, I noticed Kian's eyes snapped at me, the anger in them couldn't go unnoticed.

　　"Sorry, but I need to escort my wife," his words almost crippled me but I was fast to decline his offer. I can see the surprised look on their faces, who doesn't know about his ill behavior but before Alpha Dickson could finish his next word.

　　"Okay, that's..."

　　"Wow! That's so nice of you, hubby, but I believe that Alpha Dickson and Luna Eleanor will keep you company till I return," I bit down on my lips, I stroked his shoulder leaving a rueful smile on my face.

　　"No that…"

　　"Right, Alpha Dickson and beautiful Luna Eleanor," I raised a brow, interrupting their words. I managed to force out a smile.

　　"Yes, of course, why not," they smiled sweetly at me and that seemed to deepen the smile on my face. 

　　"Thanks," 

　　Kian's eyes hardened more, I nodded at him ignoring his sharp glare and the anger contouring around his face. 

　　Without a second word, I turned around and left the party room.
