Rhea's POV

　　I don't know but today I decided to come out of my room after I heard that Kian wasn't in the pack. 

　　I have been locked up here for some days and already feel like I'm going to suffocate to death, trapped alone here doing nothing always pulls me into a deep depression. I need to have my mind focused maybe on something so that I can keep going. 

　　As for me now, I don't think that I need to dress to impress again, I slide into my comfy clothes; a pair of black jeans and a hoodie to hide the fingerprints and bruises around my neck and skin. Using makeup, I hide the dark circles under my eyes. I sat on top of my bed with my feet placed on the small center table in my room when suddenly a knock came in. 

　　"Come in," 

　　Mercy walked in with a glass of coffee in her hand, "Good day, my Luna," she greeted, I returned her greeting with a nod.

　　Taking the glass from her, I sipped the coffee, "Hmmm... This feels good," I mumbled with a lingering smile across my lips.

　　Mercy gave me a suspicious stare before it was replaced by her trademark smile, "It should be because I made it especially for you," she smiled back. 

　　"Thank you," I mouthed with a smile. Mercy was more than happy which had me curious, "What is going on?" I asked, unable to hide my curiosity.

　　"How?" She asked, her innocent face staring back at me. 

　　Looking at her, I wanted to say a lot more. But I couldn't, I don't want to spoil her mood. Mercy might be just an ordinary maid but she means a lot to me, "Never mind," I said, dismissively with a wave of my hand. 

　　She shrugged her shoulders, "If you say so my Luna, should I bring in your Lunch?" 

　　Lunch, yes I'm hungry but I don't think that I want to eat here anymore. Just want to stretch my legs outside a bit especially now that Kian isn't around. "Yes, but I will be eating downstairs in my office," 

　　I watched her stiff instantly, her eyes going around, "That seems dangerous, my Luna," she said awkwardly.

　　"Kian is not around," I announced, causing her to snap her head at me. "But my Luna..."

　　"Shhh… That's an order," I dismissed her, giving me a long look, she nodded and walked away.

　　Wait. What if I bump into Kian? 

　　But am I going to stay in my room and hide from him for the rest of my life? Was I going to be uncomfortable because of an asshole? Was I going to be locked up here continuing to die in silence all because of him? Yes, I am hurting and in pain but I am not going to let him or any of them see the effect they have on me. Besides he has taken away everything from me, and that day I cut off my precious hair is the exact day I ended my feelings for him. 

　　I pulled myself out from the mattress, and stared at myself one last time in the mirror, "Cheer up, Rhea," I told myself before walking away. 

　　However, instead of going to my office, I went straight to the garden. I think I needed some fresh breath. I was sitting on the bench with my eyes closed when suddenly I heard someone let out a sigh of relief, startling me out of my thoughts.

　　"There you are, my Luna and I have been looking for you all over the place," I swirled my head to look at the intruder when my eyes locked with that of Mercy. 

　　Something doesn't feel right, she is looking disoriented when puffing out breath. I arched my eyes at her, urging her to speak up.

　　Hesitating for a while before she let out a sigh again, unsure how I am going to react, "King Daemon is here to see you," 

　　I stiff, "King Daemon, but why?" I asked, slowly making my way toward her, "Did you tell him where I was?" She quickly lowered her head, looking unsure of what to say while fiddling with her fingers. 

　　"You're supposed to go tell him that Alpha Kian is not around," 

　　"I already told him but..." She paused, "He still insists that he wants to see you and not Alpha Kian," she announced, but I only stiffed in response as I felt a shiver run down my spine. 

　　This is bad, this is very bad, what is he doing here? What does he really want from me? He was supposed to be with Sheila, my heart thuds painfully at the idea, growling as I shove away the odd feelings behind me. Yes, I am a bit attracted to him but right now, and at this point in my life I don't think that I need him anyway near me. I just don't want any more drama in my already crumbled life. 

　　"He is waiting in your office as we speak now," 

　　I staggered, my eyes widened in horror as I stared back at Mercy. I could hear the heavy pounding of my heart. She seems puzzled too, not knowing why he is here. Besides how do I expect her to know, she is just my maid not like my assistant. 

　　I don't think that I even wanted to see him right now, I hate the way he makes me feel and his psycho claims are not just what I wanted now. Lie... My heart seems overly excited but my mind is clearly not in support of meeting him. 

　　"Are you alright, Luna?" Mercy asked, probably noticing the pale look on my face. I quickly shake off the restless feelings and put on a phony smile. 

　　"Yes, I am more than fine, just not in the best mood to meet anybody right now," I lied. She raised her brow at me in a questioning manner. 

　　"Not in the best mood to meet the king... My Luna, this is a king that we are talking about,"
