[Rose’s Perspective.]
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Edward opening the door in frustration. It’s Patrick. He whispered a few words to him as if to complain about the timing of his arrival. I was shocked and a little ashamed by what I was about to do. I never thought I’d give my first kiss to a man I’ve only known for less than a day. Was this what getting into a relationship was like?
“My bad. I just wanted you to get to the restaurant for a meal. You don’t want your tummy growling during sex,” said Patrick to Edward. Did Patrick just say ‘sex’? I quickly thought of Edward naked, which made me even more uncomfortable. If I had my mother to bring me up, she might have taught me about it. But now I knew nothing about it.
“Darling, let’s go grab a bite.” Edward interrupted my thoughts as he walked over. The three of us went downstairs to New Moon Tribe’s restaurant. There were already some Alphas and their Betas eating there, but they didn’t look too good.
Just as I was about to go into the kitchen to find something to eat, Edward pulled my hand and let me sit at the dining table.
“Sit here. What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
“Uh… It’s alright. You can just go grab your meal first.” The truth was that I had never had much experience with different types of food. I had always just been responsible for cooking and serving the food to New Moon Tribe. I would admit that I had a talent for cooking, though. New Moon Tribe had always been very satisfied with my cooking, and I think that was one of the main reasons they hadn’t beaten me to death yet.
Edward and Patrick went to help themselves at the buffet table while I sat waiting for them at the table. I could hear the servants behind me whispering to each other. Or at least what they thought were whispers.
“I can’t believe Rose will sit at this table one day! She was? washing dishes with me just yesterday!”
“Maybe she traded her body for this?”
“I heard that Alpha Alex and Alpha Edward were fighting because of her. What’s so special about her? How can a useless orphan without a wolf do so much better than me?!”
I ignored them. I have been surrounded by countless insults and sarcasm daily for the past eight years. If I wasn’t strong enough to withstand them, I might have already suffered from depression.
“Rose? Why are you sitting here, you d*mn sl*t? The dirty laundry is already piling up in the laundry room. Go on! Get going and return to your rightful place!” I didn’t have to guess hard the owner of the voice I just heard. It was no other than Alpha Roger.

“Alpha Roger, please watch your words!” Edward was carrying a tray over. He always appeared at the right time.
“Alpha Edward, did you just choose this lowly servant girl over being the enemy of New Moon Tribe?”
“It seems that your stupid son hasn’t told you that Rose is my mate. Anyone who disrespects her is disrespecting me too. I look forward to how New Moon Tribe becomes our enemy.” Edward picked up a small grilled sausage, stuffed it into his mouth, and immediately grimaced.
“Alpha Roger, instead of worrying about something that you have no right to interfere with, why don’t you train the chefs of your tribe properly? I don’t think the food you’ve served tonight would be something even dogs would want to eat.”
Just as Edward finished speaking, another Alpha also started to complain and agree with him. Only then did I understand the expressions of the guests when we entered earlier. Roger’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver from embarrassment and anger. I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore. I didn’t know how New Moon Tribe had been feeding themselves during the years before I was brought in. I just knew that I’d been cooking for them for years, and I had really gotten them used to my presence in the kitchen.
Because of the quality of the dinner that evening, Edward and Patrick were going to take me out to dinner. Out! We’re going out! I was a little excited because I hadn’t been outside in years.
As we walked towards the door, I heard a sharp female voice.
“B*tch, where do you think you’re going?”
