Mercy's POV 

　　As I scanned around the lone hallway that led outside the packhouse, there was no single soul. My heart was pounding so fast as I quickened my steps, I needed to get to the Thorn pack before daybreak. And suddenly I started feeling a presence behind me causing fear to grip hold of me. 

　　"Mercy," I swirled around and my deep forest eyes fell on the figure. I gulped hard, holding my breath.

　　"My Luna," I stuttered, biting hard on my lips. I just pray that she doesn't notice my fraying nerves. 

　　"Hmmm," she nodded, her gaze staring me up and down, "Where are you going?" I stilled, finding it hard to breathe in the air. 

　　"Mercy," she called, her voice lowered, "Yes... Luna," I looked fluttered, swallowing hard. I composed myself.

　　"I'm going to my room," I groaned at myself, is this the only lie that I can come up with? Her brow creased up in a questioning manner, "But this is not the direction to your room or are you hiding anything from me?" 

　　"Oh! Not really my Luna, I know that's not the direction to my room, hahaha," I laughed nervously, "I wanted to help Lucia, my friend to tidy up the kitchen before I go back to my room and that's where I am going to," 

　　She gave me a long look but before she could say a word, an annoying voice interrupted us, "Luna Rhea," there was a hint of mockery in the voice causing us to jerk our heads in the direction of the voice. Ts... Ts, I sighed what was I expecting, "Lila," Luna Rhea dubbed with distaste.

　　"Hmm," she snorted, a nasty smile plastered on her lips as she walked with an elegance that suited her. I cleared my throat, stepping back a bit as she stopped in front of Luna Rhea, their feet almost touching.

　　From the corner of my eyes, I kept glaring at Lila, from the onset I have never loved her. She is the true definition of a pain in the ass, a wicked soul always craving for authority.

　　Luna Rhea continued hurling a warning glare at her but the idiot shrugged her shoulder, maintaining her stand. 

　　"Hi, long time, Luna Rhea," she mocked and said with a raised brow. 

　　"If you can excuse me Lila, I have something important to do," Luna Rhea said politely, trying to keep her cool.

　　"Huh…" Lila said with a bitter laugh, "Something important to do," she scowls, her lips pulled up in a wicked smirk.

　　I sighed within me, anger bumping inside me at every single moment. Though it is not like I can do anything because they are in a higher rank than me.

　　"Lila," Luna Rhea let out a stern warning but this arrogant idiot laughed and just brushed it off. I wonder what she is up to this time around. 

　　I watched her stop pacing around and swirled to face Luna Rhea, "The universe is so dear to me," she flicked her hair and mocked. "You thought denouncing and stripping me off my position is going to end me," she forged a pitiful face, her eyes flashing a devilish look on them. But in all Luna Rhea remained quiet, her face masked in cold and all I could see in her eyes were anger and raw hatred toward Lila. 

　　For some reason, I couldn't blame her distaste toward Lila, who couldn't hate her after everything she has done and still doing? 

　　"It didn't end me, rather it motivated me to frustrate you and leave you shattered," Lila snarled, sounding harsh.

　　I watched Luna Rhea throw her head back and laugh hard, the type of laugh that will have you crumbled. "By sleeping with Kian, right?" She laughed again.

　　I watched Lila taken back before her face was mixed with anger, "I slept with him every single day, knacking and sucking his balls. Something that you haven't and will never experience in all your life in this pack as his wife," 

　　No no... I think now that I will add that she is more than arrogant, like Shuu, does she have to rub it in Luna Rhea's face on how she warms her husband's bed all day and night? Bringing my gaze to stare at Luna Rhea, I noticed that she seemed unaffected unlike before and that surprised me but as well pulled a smile on my lips. 

　　"And how does that affect me?" 

　　"It does, Luna Rhea because you will always remain in pain and distress even after I am gone from here," she smirks when running her eyes at her from head to toe, as a gesture of intimidating her. Luna Rhea folded her arms across her chest with a furrowed eyebrow. "Fiona will always be here to frustrate you after I am gone to the Thorn pack," she added, showing off her 32 teeth.

　　I scowled and looked away but I was drawn back by Luna Rhea's vicious chuckle, "I heard that you were mated to Gamma Wilfred," and that widened Lila's smile.

　　"Wow! The news travels so fast, shouldn't we be celebrating Luna Rhea?" She mocked, keeping her devilish smile on.

　　"Stop fooling yourself, Lila, I know that's why you are here," she said coldly, looking bored, "Though I am still wondering why he didn't mark you immediately or are you sure that he fancies you at all because Lycan's are known for their possessive nature toward their mate," I laughed inwardly as I watch Luna Rhea scrunches her nose in disgust with her head held high. 

　　I watched Lila's face turn pale but she retaliated immediately, snorting in the process, "I'm mated to a Lycan, a gamma, and not a mere werewolf," she mirrored the disgusted look before laughing at her.

　　"I am mated to a Lycan and that makes me your superior," she resumed, snapping at her.

　　"No," Luna Rhea blinked innocently, keeping her emotions at bay, "Being mated to him doesn't make you a Lycan... Allow him to mark and claim you which I am not sure will ever happen," 

　　I heard Lila gasping, I held my lips as a muffled laugh erupted from them. Lila stares at her in disbelief and slight embarrassment. I am sure that she wasn't expecting Luna Rhea to stand up for herself and even go this far, not after hearing that she is mated to Lycan. Well, I wasn't expecting that either, and for that, I seem so proud of Luna Rhea.
