Chapter 195: The Mistresses’ Stance

Two days later.

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

When Edward told me in the room that he had arranged a late dinner for me tonight, I didn’t quite understand why it was necessary.

“Why do we need to have dinner together?”

“Dearest, this means that the pack has welcomed you. Have you forgotten that when I brought Rose back to the pack, we also had dinner together?”

“I haven’t forgotten, but now I’m a mistress.”

“The mistress of the United States’ largest werewolf pack’s Alpha.” Edward smiled as he kissed the top of my head, but I didn’t find it funny.

“Alright, alright. I take back that silly joke. But Babe, you do need to attend this meal. We need some opportunities to reduce the prejudice of others towards you.”

In the afternoon, Edward worked in his office while I waited in my room for the dinner to happen. Edward told me that in addition to all the ranked members, there were also some representatives from the pack’s Omega families.

While I was playing with Phil in my room, it occurred to me that maybe I could do something about the dinner.

After I sent a secret message to Luna Taylor, she darted into my room and took over. I tied my hair into a neat ponytail and headed for the pack’s kitchen. I didn’t choose to wear anything grand since I didn’t have any in my closet.

Sure enough, when I expressed my desire to prepare dessert for tonight’s dinner, Mrs. Daisy adamantly disagreed, citing my inappropriate status and the fact that she and the servants should do the work. But after I coaxed her, she caved.

I chose to make a plain tiramisu cheesecake, which was one of my specialties. Moreover, there wasn’t enough time for more complicated desserts like lava cake.

I’ve always thought that the huge kitchen of Sunset Pack is a treasure trove where you can find whatever ingredients you want, as well as the tools and appliances you needed. I immersed myself in the joy of cooking the entire afternoon.

After my finished products had been frozen in the freezer for a while, I took them out, cut them into fan-shaped pieces, and carried them out on a tray.

When I walked into the dining room, I found that there were already quite a few people there, although it was still some time before the meal began. They gathered together in groups of two or three to chat, but I didn’t see Edward anywhere.

“Look who it is. Today’s mistress.”

It was Jane. Her voice wasn’t too loud, but it was enough to focus everyone’s attention on me.

“Did Alpha actually let you do this? asked Diana to me. I only gave her a friendly smile, then freed my hands to pass the two small steel forks to her.

Jane didn’t take them. Diana hesitated but took one anyway. Then she picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth and I could already see her change in expression.

“D*mn it, I’ve never eaten such delicious Tiramisu.”

Her words were very dramatic. When I put the tray in my hand into the dessert area, I saw some Omega werewolves try them too. When they put the cake I made into their mouths, their satisfied and amazed expressions said it all.

“Now I know how you made progress in seducing Alpha. That’s a good move.” It was Jane again. She seemed to be the most aggressive ranked member, but I knew in my heart how much she loved me.

“Jane, don’t you want to try it? I’m sure you’ll like it.” It was Patrick’s little sister, Lily, whose mouth had been stuffed with my cakes. I hadn’t seen her for a long time, but I knew she was one of the people who knew my identity.

“I don’t want to eat a cake made by a she-wolf who seduced an Alpha to get to the top.”

Jane was still provoking me, but I knew how flustered she was. She had even sent me a message before to first apologize to me, then told me that no matter how impolite she was, I needed to hit her back hard, because it would help me establish my authority.

Although I had promised her at the time, I didn’t want to do that now. I just wanted to express my true feelings.

“Gamma Jane, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us,” said I but she just looked at me.

“I’m not a lucky person. My parents were killed in a car accident when I was young. That was when my aunt and uncle took me in. Soon, I met a man who I thought was my true love. Then I got pregnant. But when his drinking and abuse habits were exposed, I left him because I wanted to protect my family, especially myself and my son.”

Everyone looked at me and some started whispering.

“No matter what abuse I suffered, I never gave up taking my own life seriously. I admit that I met Edward during difficult times, but he did not tell me his identity at first. We fell in love which was a magical and wonderful thing. It felt like we were the only two people in the world.”

I looked at Jane, who was waiting for me to continue.

“Your Alpha insisted on taking me back to the pack. After I found out his identity, I refused. But in the end, I agreed. It wasn’t because I wanted money, a supreme position, or a stepfather for my child. My child didn’t lack love. I just wanted to be with the man I loved, to care for him as much as I could, that was it. He didn’t promise me anything and our relationship wasn’t an exchange of benefits. But when I came to the pack, I could feel your hostility and disgust towards me, maybe because you missed Luna Rose. But we all have our lives to live. Edward has the right to continue moving forward and I also have the right to love him.”

I heard the thoughts of some Omega people as they chewed on what I had said.

“Jane and the other members of the pack, I am not here to replace anyone, I am me, Rose is Rose. I understand that you have lost the Luna of the past, but when my aunt and uncle took me in, they did not try to replace my parents. They just wanted to care for me and give me a loving home. I know that I cannot replace the Luna of the past. She seems to be a good person because everyone likes her. I also know that I will never be able to achieve her reputation in your hearts. And I do not intend to try. I just want to stay by Alpha’s side and give him and this pack all that I can give. Please don’t judge me yet when you still don’t know me. It’s not fair to me. I may be a single mother but that’s not why I’m inferior or a sl*t. If you have any opinions about me, please address them to your Alpha because I never asked to be here. If I’ve done anything wrong, please point them out to me. I’m more than happy to accept and correct them.”

I saw Jane’s mouth slightly open. Her eyes revealed an unconcealable eagerness, even though I did not strike back hard against her as we had agreed.

“Mona is right!”

When I finished what I wanted to say, a man’s voice suddenly came from the crowd.
