Mercy's POV

　　"MATE," 

　　For a few seconds, I couldn't move away from my spot. I was taken back for a moment before my eye swept back to him. As I tried to absorb what I just heard... from the look and his aura, I know that he is definitely a Lycan. 

　　Am I mated to a Lycan? As a Lycan!

　　"Mine," this single syllable barked out was enough to pull me out of my trances. Lifting my head, I noticed the twinkle in his eyes.

　　"As in… mate? Who..are you?" I stammered as I noticed his lips stretched out in a straight line. A pleasant smile danced around the bottom of his lips. 

　　"Well, sorry for not introducing myself," he chuckled while still staring at me. My palms grew a little clammy as I clutched my clothes tight, it was probably due to my fraying nerves, I guess. 

　　"I'm..."

　　He had merely two words to say when suddenly his phone rang abruptly interrupting the moment. 

　　"Hey, man, what's up?" His gaze, not leaving my side as he answered the call. 

　　Standing on my spot, I kept fidgeting with my nails nervously as I waited for him to finish the call. Everything displaying right now wasn't what I expected today; bumping into Sheila, having seen Alpha Kian, and now being mated to a Lycan. 

　　Ahhh... Is my mind playing tricks on me as usual, from his aura he seems powerful like a high-rank Lycan. He is definitely not Gamma because I know Gamma Wilfred, the mate of Lila remembering that causes my stomach to churn. Then who is he... Does King Daemon have a brother or relative? But he was rumored to have been the only child of his parents and was assigned the position of leader at the age of eleven years after the cruel death of his parents. 

　　But again, who is this god that is standing in front of me? A beta... I doubt it.

　　As soon as he ended the call, his trademark smile slipped back into its place. Giving me a long look, it seems like he was mind-linking someone and suddenly I heard an angry voice from behind. "Can you just be serious, and stop messing around," 

　　I stiffened immediately, I heard the voice and the same goes to the owner of the voice, "King Daemon," I swiveled around, my heart pounding heavily. I think that I have cast my identity, so I lowered my head.

　　King Daemon stood there, his eyes moving from me back to my alleged mate who still had a smile on his face. Strangely, he didn't even submit to acknowledge the presence of a strong creature in our midst; rather he smacked King Daemon's shoulder playfully with a grin, "Wow! I found my mate, man," their gazes moved in my direction, causing me to shrink back nervously. 

　　Part of me seems overly happy to have seen my mate but at the same time, he seems like a person of a higher caliber. After a few seconds, I heard King Daemon clear his throat, "Mercy," 

　　"Mercy," my alleged mate repeated, "You know her," his voice changed. Is that jealousy? I mumbled to myself. But King Daemon chuckled, surprising me, his gaze not leaving mine. Placing his right hand on top of his shoulder, he blurted out. "Finally, you get to meet my spy," 

　　"Spy," he screeched, his jaw dropping, "You mean... She has been the spy all this time," he pointed at me, his gaze widened. 

　　"How?" 

　　From the connection, it seems like they are both pretty close and that relaxed me a bit though I am still flinching knowing that he is my mate. 

　　"Yes," he said, his icy expression slipping back to its place. Glancing at me, he ordered in a clipped tone, "To my office," 

　　His order left no room for discussion. I gulped, my gaze connecting with the man but before he could step closer to me, I hurried toward Daemon's office. 

　　Entering inside, I noticed gamma Wilfred sitting on the couch. Our eyes locked and I felt my heart flip nervously. He knows me... What is going on today in my life?

　　And just then, the door was pulled open and my mate walked in. Will I even get used to him being my mate for real? 

　　"Hey, buddy, what's happening here?" He asked.

　　"We are going to the Blackwood Pack," Daemon announced.

　　"Mercy," gamma Wilfred dubbed. 

　　"You know her too," Daemon and my mate turned to look at him.

　　"You are going to Blackwood, why?" I asked immediately, ignoring gamma Wilfred. 

　　And my question seemed to pull everyone's attention toward King Daemon, "Yes," he claimed.

　　"Why are you here?" Gamma Wilfred asked, earning a warning growl to himself from my supposed mate. His gaze widened, and I let out a light cough. Gamma Wilfred shifted his gaze to King Daemon but got no response. 

　　"What is going on?" He inquired, "She is my mate," my alleged mate, announced.

　　"WHAT!!" Gamma Wilfred exclaimed but King Daemon chuckled slightly. I bit my lips, pulling my gaze away from his directed gaze.

　　"Is this not Luna Rhea's personal servant?" He asked, "And also Daemon's secret spy," my mate added, earning a gasp from gamma Wilfred. 

　　Does he still love me knowing that I am an ordinary omega but what power does he have to have growled at a gamma?

　　"Well, Sam, and Wildred, this is my spy, and honestly I wasn't planning on introducing her like this to you two," my heart hammered hard against my chest, **Sam, as in... That's his beta's name, I swallowed, finding it hard to absorb what he just said. 

　　"Yeah, is nothing," they both wave it off, "But where to?" Sam asked, I guess that's his name.

　　"Going to claim what's mine," 

　　My eyes flew open at his words, I suddenly step forward, obstructing his way, "You just can't go, King Daemon, definitely not now," 

　　His eyebrow arched up, "But you were the one that informed me earlier that I have to take her," 

　　Swallowing the saliva that suddenly formed at my throat, "Yes, but..."

　　"Fuck the but!!" He snapped, pushing me off his side and striding out of the room.

　　I tried to call him back but the words got stuck in my lips, how I wish that Daemon can keep calm, a lot is happening that needs to be found out. And that's Sheila and Alpha Kian... For some reason, I have this feeling that something is wrong somewhere.
