Rhea's POV

　　Realization dawned on me as I continued to stare in that direction that I once saw him, so we weren't mates after all and he lied to me.

　　But he gave me a mark, "That wasn't a real mark though I am glad that I have finally reconnected with you,"

　　I have a lot on my mind that I paid less attention to her words, Daemon stepped forward and touched my fur. I felt sparks shot through my whole body, so he has always been my mate all this while. I watched Eleanor lean into his touch as he pats her head and kisses her face.

　　He was rubbing my furs and back, trying to calm me a bit down... He sure knows what I need right now.

　　The moon slowly went back and I transformed back to my human form. Daemon held me before I could make it to the ground. I think I will get used to transforming back from human to wolf.

　　Going around naked is nothing to werewolves though Daemon shades my naked body away from people seeing it. I suddenly went shy under his lustful stares. He pulled out his jacket and used it to cover me up before pulling me off the ground. He carried me to his car and we all drove out... This time around, Mercy was with us.

　　I didn't plan on leaving my pack members because I can see the pain in their eyes but I need a moment to calm my head and accept the fact that I now have a wolf and that Kian wasn't actually my mate.

　　I have stayed for days now in Thorn pack, it wasn't easy but I kept pushing it. I heard that Daemon is working on my divorce paper with Kian. Nobody has ever set their eyes on Kian since the incident and that makes me curious about where he might be.

　　I needed to know why he claimed me as his mate for years and even went to the extent of marrying me.

　　I won't say that he loves me because our families were well-known enemies... So what are his intentions?

　　Wow! I heard that Sam and Mercy were mates... I am so happy for them, it seems like I get to have her by my side again this time as a friend and sister and not as a servant. Well, The news is still there about Wilfred's rejection toward Lila. I heard that she was still carrying Kian's pup though nobody also knew about her way since the rejection that almost took her life.

　　I can say that Wilfred is still in hiding for now, still, I couldn't stare me in the eyes... Well everyone is passing through a lot now.

　　I was sitting at the edge of the bed when Daemon walked in. I don't know how long I would be able to resist this greek god in front of me. He was like an early morning breakfast, since I noticed that we are mates I have been having this burning affection around him.

　　My body seems to always be on fire whenever we are together, he stops in front of me and sneaks his hand around my waist pulling me to himself.

　　"What... are you doing?" I stammered, gulping hard as suddenly felt that familiar hotness seeped into my body.

　　"We are going out," he suddenly announced.

　　"Out," I furrowed my eyebrow at him in confusion.

　　"A date," a smile broke through my face at his word.

　　"Where are we going?" I curiously asked as he led me to the closet to change into another dress.

　　"It is a surprise," he answered with his eyes twinkling in amusement.

　　I wonder where we are going this time around!

　　I kept bugging him to tell me where we were going but Daemon refused to disclose the information to me. He did rather keep it for himself, just like he called it a surprise date. I am already getting annoyed by his silence and he seemed to be enjoying my restlessness.

　　This is my first ever date and I wonder what it could look like. I have spent days locked up inside the room after the incident pondering my mind on what just happened. After that day today is the first day I am stepping out and then going on a date with my mate, I giggled inside at Eleanor's wagging tails.

　　Eleanor is such a lovely wolf, she has been there with me all this while, ensuring that I didn't dive into depression.

　　We drove for an hour before we finally arrived at the beach. The atmosphere was shiny and a bit cloudy, giving the impression that it would rain soon.

　　Nobody was in sight, we were the only people there. Opening my side of the car, Daemon took my hand in his and started leading me to the sandy beach. He is so romantic and caring I will give it to him... Who can believe that the big bad Lycan king is actually sweet?

　　The sound of the ocean was the only thing that we could hear, the wind blowing through my hair as I enjoyed the view of the ocean swinging side to side. He actually knows what I need right now, a place to calm my head.

　　The view is splendid and feet meters away is a long shiny fabric spread under an umbrella with countless rose flowers sprinkled around the area. On top of the shiny fabric that seems like a long scarf are different varieties of food placed on. The umbrella helps shade the area away from the arching sun.

　　I stared at the scene in front of me, my jaw dropping. Daemon came behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist, "You like it," his mouth brushed my ear lobe.

　　"It is more than beautiful," the word rolled out from my lips like a moan, he chuckled and pulled away. Holding my hands I lead me toward the area. We both sat opposite each other.
