[Rose’s perspective.]
I saw the girl. Patrick and Lily finally brought her in. She was a bit like an Egyptian beauty from the books, but I could tell that she had just been crying.
Edward ordered juice, Diana ordered a Long Island Iced Tea without alcohol, and the others drank beer.
Patrick was being his joyful self all night and I could tell that he was trying his best to make everyone laugh. I guess it was for his sweetheart, although I didn’t know what happened earlier. Thankfully, his efforts weren’t in vain. The atmosphere at our table was completely lifted by him. There were even
times when my stomach hurt from laughing.
Patrick’s mind was always filled with all sorts of dramatic oddities, like when he asked, “What organ can Mum touch but Dad can’t?” I racked my brains but couldn’t figure it out. The others couldn’t guess it either. In the end, Lily started to warn him not to talk dirty in front of the ladies.
“Oh, come on! What are you all thinking! Can’t you be a little more simple?”
“So what’s the answer?” asked Diana curiously.
“Your lips. Try saying Mum and Da
Iwas speechless upon hearing the answer to the joke. Patrick was such a drama queen. But I had to admit that everyone was happy whenever we were around him. And he had been such a warm-hearted gentleman when he accompanied me during our exploration at Southern Wilderness Tribe.
That night, I had a taste of the draft beer in Edward’s glass. Why did so many people in the bar like to spend money to drink this bitter thing? I didn’t think it tasted very good.
Time passed quickly, and eventually, it was time for us to return to the tribe. Patrick first sent Lily and Diana back to the dorm before picking Edward and me up.
“patrick, are you still sure that Diana is your destined mate?” asked Edward on our way back.
“Alpha, Duke and I are very sure. Her scent seduces me even though it’s not the scent of a werewolf.”
“So it’s her scent? Why can’t I smell it?”
“Baby, the scent of a human girl is the same as that of a werewolf. Both are hormones secreted to attract the opposite sex, but werewolf mates can distinguish each other’s unique and strong scent. As for humans, I think unless it’s a partnership, it’s very unpleasant to smell. This is why Patrick can smell it
but you can’t.”
I nodded. After we had returned to the castle and settled in, I found Patrick giggling at his phone.
“What made you so happy?”
“I sent a message to ask if Diana had arrived at the dormitory safely. She thanked me again and accepted my invitation for tomorrow.”

“That was fast! Patrick, you’re such a pickup artist.”
“Luna, don’t talk about me like that. I just hope that she has a good impression of me so that everything will play out smoothly.”
“Good luck, Patrick.”
“Thank you. If I don’t come home tomorrow night, I’ll be back as soon as I can on Sunday to protect you and Alpha during your Luna ceremony that night.”
‘The shock I felt was clearly displayed on my face. Could they be getting it on so soon? But I didn’t say anything and simply followed Edward back to his room. Edward said that he still needed to take care of some business so I decided to take a shower first.
When the hot water hit me, I suddenly heard a voice inside me.
“Rose, I’m glad to see that you’re now part of Edward’s family. You’re happy.”
“Lam, Charlotte.”
“So, do you want to be an ordinary Luna, or the werewolf with the heavy responsibilities in the book?”
Charlotte’s sudden question left me at a loss.
“Charlotte, if I keep hiding my ability, the vampires won’t be able to find me, right?”
“The truth is that person has been looking for you, my dear Rose. He already knows that your mother isn’t a Werewolf of Chaos.”
“Who is that person?”
“Ican’t see who he is, but I can sense that he is a powerful person that belongs to the darkness.”
“Charlotte, you’re scaring me. How do you know all this?”
“The moon goddess told me, but that’s all I know.”
“So what should I do now?”
“One thing I can be sure of is that your relationship with Alpha must not be broken. Otherwise, it will put you and his tribe in danger. Dear Rose, this is all I know so far. Perhaps you should make your choice as soon as possible.”
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Edward reading by the bookshelf in his study. I walked over and hugged him from behind.
“Edward, Charlotte spoke to me just now.”
“What did she say to my most beautiful little fairy?”
“She wanted me to choose. To be an ordinary person or to defeat the person in the darkness.”
Edward immediately put down his book and I saw shock and anxiety in his eyes.
“The person in the darkness? Is that that d*mned vampire?”
“I don’t know. Charlotte said that she can’t see him clearly, but she knows that that person has been looking for me.”
“This d*mned… Rose, what do you think?”
“I don’t know… Why did God give me such a big problem? I just want to be your mate. Charlotte said that if our relationship falters, the tribe will be in great danger and I might die.”
“I promise our relationship will never break up. Nothing can separate us. But babe, I do hope that you hide your ability. Although it may not have been discovered yet, if you sense it in the future, you must restrain yourself. I don’t want you to fall into any danger. I will protect you with my life.”
I nodded and climbed into bed. Edward quickly showered and came into bed too. He held me in his arms and kissed me on the forehead as I closed my eyes.
Then I thought of my parents, especially my mother. She was so beautiful and loving in my memory, but she was taken away by that so-called b*stard just to keep me alive.
When I thought about it, I felt ashamed. Maybe I shouldn’t live in this world to be such a coward. I wished I could get justice for my parents.. But weren’t their sacrifices just to keep me alive and safe? So, what was the best thing for me to do?
