[Edward’s P.O.V.]
I changed into my formal attire in the bedroom and waited for Rose so that we could go to her welcome ceremony together.
“Edward, you look so handsome dressed like this. You look like a sculpture.” My girl looked at me with a gentle gaze.
“Are you saying that I’m usually not handsome?” I pulled her into my arms and kissed her, but she immediately slipped away.
“Watch my makeup! I don’t want to upset Jane.”
I shrugged helplessly. Women. Their heads could be cut off, but their makeup couldn’t be ruined.
Rose’s welcome ceremony was scheduled to be held in the open space in front of the castle at seven o’clock. Patrick had already asked the relevant personnel to issue a notice. All members of the tribe could participate voluntarily. I didn’t force them. After all, this was Luna’s ceremony. Secondly, I wanted to keep things simple until I could unravel some of the mysteries related to Rose.
As the hour approached, I saw that there was already a large crowd outside from our window. Well, perhaps everyone wanted to see what the future Luna of the tribe would look like. After all, their Alpha had been single for so many years.
Rose stood beside me. She was so beautiful, but I could tell that she was a little nervous.
“Relax, Babe. This is just a simple welcoming ceremony. It won’t last too long.” I held her hand tightly and comforted her.
“Edward, I hope I won’t embarrass you,” said Rose softly.
“And why would that happen? I think everyone will like you as soon as they set their sights on you.”
The ceremony began. My father, the former Alpha of Sunset Tribe, became the host of the ceremony. He suited the role very well.

“Members of Sunset Tribe, the position of Luna has always been vacant. Thankfully, with the guidance of the moon goddess, my son, Alpha Edward Lancaster of Sunset Tribe has found his mate, Rose.”
When I heard him call out our names, I took Rose’s hand and walked out of the castle gate. I waved to everyone and Rose began to wave as well. Some people were surprised when they saw Rose. I could hear their admiration for her beauty. This made me more proud of my mate.
“Thank you all for coming to my mate’s welcome ceremony today. In the near future, Rose will officially become your Luna. I hope that everyone can give her the greatest degree of friendliness and respect.”
The moment I finished speaking, the crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
“Mom, Rose is so beautiful. Is she a fairy?” asked a young child. It was a child from the White family in the front row. Everyone smiled kindly and I saw a relieved smile on Rose’s face.
But in the next second, a sharp female voice from the crowd tore through the night sky. Every word stimulated my eardrums.
“Everyone! Rose is a liar! She’s a lowly slave of New Moon Tribe! She seduced Alpha! Moreover, she doesn’t have a wolf! We don’t need a defect as our Luna!”
This stupid sentence was no less than a heavy bomb. Everyone was shocked and a heated discussion erupted.
“Is what she said true?”
“Alpha chose a Luna without a wolf?”
I quickly looked over at the owner of the d*mned female voice and realized that it was Jones. How did she get this information? Still, I didn’t have time to waste and quickly stood up for my Luna.
“Jones, if you continue to slander your future Luna, you will pay the price!”
I roared with my Alpha voice which I rarely used to reprimand my own people. As such, the crowd instantly fell silent.
“A Luna without a wolf cannot protect her tribe! If this is slander, then let Rose prove it to everyone!”
This time it was Emily who spoke as she stood next to Jones. The arrogance on her face made me want to tear her limbs apart. Why were these jealous women so troublesome?
Just as I was desperately trying to figure out how to get Rose out of this situation, my mate suddenly let go of my hand.
By the time I realized what Rose was trying to do, it was too late to stop her..
