Rhea's POV 

　　Sitting peacefully on the sofa in front of my dressing mirror, I continued with my makeup. Since Kian has made it mandatory to frustrate me by locking me up here. All my attempts to break free seem futile and unsuccessful. 

　　Still sitting down on my sofa, I heard a commotion from outside. Surprisingly the voices were loud and way uncomfortable for me. 

　　Approaching the door, I pulled my door, twisting the handle in thought that a miracle might happen but just as always it was locked up from the outside. 

　　I leaned my back against the door, my heart skipped a bit, strange that's unusual what is happening out there. I can hear the heavy footsteps of the warriors rushing down the hallway and that also widened my curiosity. I feel restless because it was more like I have already invested everything in myself, both love, attention and every single thing of my life in this pack's welfare so their safety worries me.

　　Signing, I swirled my head around thinking of the next possible plan to sneak out from this dungeon and find out if my pack members are safe because that's what I care about right now.

　　I thought about it but couldn't come up with an idea till my eyes quickly flashed at the yobs of clothes on top of my bed. I have been testing each of the dresses since morning as a way of passing my time. My eyes twinkled and a smile suddenly found its way to my lips.

　　I rushed up, tying the clothes together tight at the edges. Noticing that the ones on top of the bed won't be that much, I rushed to put them on again and bring out more from my wardrobe. Once I am done, I thrash the clothes that I have succeeded in combining outside through my window. Looking down I noticed that its length was perfect and reached the floor so I quickly tied the other edge to the leg of my sofa before I slowly tiptoed to the window. 

　　Holding the clothes which are now serving as rope, I started climbing down. At first, my heart was beating very fast but as time went on I started feeling a bit relaxed. 

　　Almost closer to the ground, I jumped off landing my butt on the sand. I instantly stood up and dusted my butt before walking toward the direction where the voice was emanating from. 

　　The more I drew closer, the faster my heartbeat accelerated. Holding my breath, instead of walking up to the person, surprising to me, I hid behind the building and decided to peek and find out what the shout was all about.

　　Bringing my gaze to look at the scene, my eyes locked with those deep black eyes and they were cold. Icy and furious. And somehow I knew that his gaze was directed my way, I strolled and tried to hide from those cold and angry stares… On the other hand, I had this insane urge to run into his arms and have my head buried deep in his neck. I shook my head, reminding myself that I am married and I have a reputation to protect. 

　　I noticed his mouth pressed into a flat, tight line... Which completely ruined the effect of his full sensual lips as he strode toward me. 

　　People are starting to circle, I took a step backward wanting to turn around, and scrambled away, far away from him but that will only make me a coward. I scanned around the place in search of Kian but couldn't seem to find him.

　　"So... Why are you here?" I swallowed the huge lump down my throat, clutching my clothes I shove my emotions beside me and turned to stare at him."We were not expecting you, King Daemon, so please can you step inside and have a glass of water or wine since you're already here," 

　　I said, sounding polite as a way of welcoming a person of a high caliber, especially the king. My heart is racing faster though I pulled in a long face. 

　　His eyebrow twitched slightly as he stared at me, "I'm not here for that, Rhea," he said, taking a stride forward and our forehead touched.

　　For a few minutes, I seemed to drown in the ocean of imagination with how sensual my name flew out from his lips but the gasp from the crowds pulled me out of my erotic fantasies. 

　　This is damn wrong, my brow knitted together in anger as I stepped back a bit drawing a distance between us.

　　"Sorry, my king, but why are you here?" I asked, my head lowered submissively though I am not even affected by his aura that much. That's odd because everyone has their neck barred out in submissiveness, well except me.

　　"I am here to take you home," he said casually with a sign.
