Daemon's POV

　　Looking at me he burst into a cold bitter laugh, "How sure... Huh, when my mate is starving out there," he barked out.

　　"Is not only your mate, Sam!" I snapped, "Put yourself together," I yelled. He sighed, putting his head in between his two palms. "Is hard bro," he mumbled.

　　"If the rumor is everywhere that means that Rhea will soon hear about that," I said, sounding disturbed.

　　Sam lifted his head to look at me, "I am talking about my mate, Daemon,"

　　"I know why he is doing this,"

　　"Why? We should just go strangle that b*tch,"

　　"No, Sam," I instantly oppose his suggestion, "He is doing this to get a reaction from Rhea,"

　　"By punishing the whole pack members," he doubts.

　　"Who doesn't know how much Rhea loves and cares for the welfare of her pack members…"

　　"Yes, we know but does... Wait a minute!" He paused, earning a raised brow from me. "He wants a way to hurl her back,"

　　"Exactly!" I exclaimed.

　　"So what do we do now?" His words came out quickly like he was waiting for any plan to execute, "Calm down, Sam and besides he has always wanted a smooth ride_ peace over violence," I teased him at my last statement.

　　"I think we should go with violence this time around," I nearly burst into laughter at his sudden change of mind.

　　"Why?"

　　"Bro, this is not funny," he glares.

　　"Fine," I sighed, "How do we do that?" We both exchanged a known look, "There is no signal... she can't leave the pack," I nodded at him.

　　"This is not the decision that we need to make now,"

　　"Daemon!"

　　"Where is Wilfred?" I asked, ignoring his desperate voice.

　　"Hmm," he sighed, "He is still there_ sulking," Sam blurted out.

　　I shook my head, I wonder what he might be going through right now. Since he left the hospital he has locked himself upstairs inside his room. Paying deaf ears to our constant knocks and mind links.

　　Just a mere distance from a mate hurts then imagine when your mate gets pregnant for another male creature out there. Wilfred is a strong soul so I know that he will come out from this situation more successfully.

　　"He is going through a lot," I murmured.

　　"And my mate is out there," Sam resumed, "We need a solution,"

　　"Sam!!" I yelled, shutting him up, "Calm bro... we need a concrete plan,"

　　"Besides I need to settle whatever that is happening there to avoid Rhea going back there and I also need to save Mercy out from there and put an end to this mess," I point out, "And besides Wilfred needs to be here with us,"

　　Sam nodded after a few minutes, sulking, he looked troubled. His mind kept drifting elsewhere as he pulls on his hair constantly.

　　I sighed and tore my gaze away from him. I think I need to come up with an idea immediately. A lot is at stake... Rhea and Mercy.

　　Sheila's POV

　　"Gosh!"

　　I was going through the files that Jerry brought to my room when I heard him sigh.

　　"What happened?"

　　He raised his head from his laptop to look at me, "Is how bad somebody can be," I c***k my brow at him. "What are you trying to say?"

　　At first, I thought he was referring to me, "Luna Rhea has really suffered,"

　　I instantly tear my gaze around before narrowing my eyes at him, "What are you saying?"

　　"Why is it so hard for Alpha Kian to love her?" He asked, pity flashing in his eyes.

　　"Well, I am sure that he does," I sipped my drink, "Wait this is not why we are here?"

　　"Then why did he get another woman pregnant," the tumbler instantly slipped out from my hand and pieces on the floor, the drink splashing on the colorful tiles.

　　"Another woman pregnant," I stammered, my face looking flushed.

　　"You haven't heard," he inched closer. "Yes, the rumors are everywhere," my heart tightened at his words.

　　What is Kian doing? How did I end up working with a senseless man that has nothing to offer? He was supposed to have Rhea pregnant on the night of the moonlight festival... that was the plan after he must have killed that wolf of hers.

　　"Who is the woman carrying his pup?" I think I finally found my voice back because I was able to ask him a question.

　　"His mistress," the word echoed in my head twice, how could he stoop so low to have a mistress have his pup despite the plan?

　　"Mistress," I repeat.

　　"Lila his former mistress and the former beta of Luna Rhea,"

　　"Lila," I whispered, "is she not mated to Wilfred?"

　　"Yea, she is," he shrugged, "How terrible things could be sometimes,"

　　My mind wandered around fast, bringing my gaze back to Jerry, "You need to leave," I muttered.

　　"Huh,"

　　"You heard me the first time_ leave,".

　　"But we haven't finished up with the research,"

　　"I said leave, leave right now!" I latched out, and he instantly stood up with his laptop and scrambled out of the room.

　　Growling, I hit my palms on the desk before taking my car key and speeding out of the lack toward the Blackwood Pack.

　　I slammed the office door and angrily bashed into his office.

　　"Look I have told you to stop coming here unannounced,"

　　"Unannounced... huh, really and that's why you impregnate your mistress instead of having Rhea have your pup, I could have known better!!" I yelled, he stared at me blankly with confusion and at the same time surprised showing that he hadn't gotten the news.

　　"What are you talking about?" He said in a muffled voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?" He almost latched out.

　　"Who did I impregnate? Who made that false allegation?"

　　"Your mistress, Kian... Kian your mistress!!" I yelled back in his face.

　　He was stunned for a moment before looking back at me, "Which of my mistresses?"

　　"Why act as if you have no idea?"
