Chapter 140: The Night Before I Return Home

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

I lay on the little bed in my room, tossing and turning.

I thought about all the things that might be happening in the pack, wondering if my brother was able to successfully capture the imposter and if my mate was safe.

Although I knew that the ranked members of Sunset Pack would not let my mate suffer any physical harm, if Rose had rejected me, she must have suffered a great deal of trauma. At the thought of this, I could not wait to return to the pack and burn that imposter to the ground.

But he was just a puppet. It was Emily, the dark witch, and possibly other accomplices who created all of this. Once I had gathered enough evidence, I would submit it to the Council of Elders and ask them to hand over these people for me to deal with personally.

I must endure it all for now, despite the growing hatred I had for the dark witch Annabel. Her words had struck a nerve – Nicholas had come seeking Rose to take her away. My poor mate must be exhausted now and I can not imagine how she has been treated all this time. I was ready to return the ‘favor’ to the person who did all of these to us.

Emily came here again at night. I could tell she was in high spirits. She told me that she had disposed of the imposter and we’d be able to return to the pack tomorrow night.

“Why at night? Did something unspeakable happen?” asked I.

“Dear, the guards all know that the Alpha is in the castle, but if another Alpha appeared before them in broad daylight, wouldn’t that be a little strange?”

“Gosh, Emily, you’re a genius. You can definitely become a good Luna.” I continued to shower her with praises which made her smile until her face was about to burst.

“But just in case, maybe you should go back to the pack to confirm whether that imposter has really been disposed of. I will stay here and wait for you to pick me up tomorrow.”

To be honest, I only wanted to distract her. Now, even saying one more word to her made me feel like vomiting.

She paused, probably wondering if my advice was necessary, but she finally agreed.

After I was sure she had left, I sent a message to Patrick.

‘Is it convenient to text now?’

After I received a reply saying that it was convenient, I continued messaging him. I had to be careful because I was afraid that they were being watched in the castle by a spy. I had to take the dark witch’s words with many pinches of salt since she had done so many heinous things

‘Yes, he’s in the dungeon. I had attacked him with Lucifer but he had refused to transform into his wolf.’

I sneered. This was to be expected because once the guy summoned his wolf, his last layer of disguise would be torn.

‘Emily and I will return to the pack tomorrow night, and I need you to pretend as if nothing had happened. And you need to tell the other ranked members to play along as well.’

‘No problem, but I need you to meet me alone. I would like to meet Champion.’

Instead of annoying me, Patrick’s words made me proud of him. Despite all the evidence I had given him, he was still suspicious. And rightly so too. I happily obliged.

‘Is Rose okay? Why does she keep her phone off?’ I couldn’t wait to ask.

‘Luna had left the pack.’

Patrick didn’t say much more, but the mere sight of those words was enough to knock me down.

I thought my mate had simply cut me off but still remained in the pack because leaving without our connection would make her extremely vulnerable to danger. I didn’t want to ask why she did it. She’d always been a strong woman and would never do something just because of a setback or difficulty.

‘Where did she go?’

‘We’ll talk more after we’ve met.’

I didn’t send any more messages and Patrick didn’t either. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep for a while to make sure I had enough energy for tomorrow. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since I woke up from the accident.

But I found that no matter what I did, I couldn’t sleep. My mate had left the pack and I didn’t even know where she would go by herself. What kind of danger would she be in?

I tried calling her again but it went straight to voicemail again. What hurt the most was that I couldn’t connect with her at all. She had always been able to connect with me, even if it was a one-way conversation.

After the accident, she must have tried many times to connect with me, even with the imposter, but she had failed. I couldn’t imagine how helpless and desperate she must have been. That man had lived by Rose’s side every day. What had he done to her? It made me so jealous and angry that I was going crazy.
