Rhain tucked away his weapons hastily upon realizing it was Daisy who was causing the ruckus, shattering the balcony door in her fit of anger. His wife had a temper and while such things didn't bother him most of the time and toying with his prey was just another amusing thing, he was not in the mood now.

Stepping into her chamber, he was met with a scene of chaos - glass shards scattered on the floor, the balcony door in pieces, having borne the brunt of Daisy's wrath. "What are you doing?" he demanded.

"And you could have chosen not to confine me like a caged bird," she retorted, her nostrils flaring with indignation.
