[Edward’s P.O.V.]

I returned to the room with Rose but I couldn’t suppress how gloomy I felt.

“Edward, did I do something wrong?”

When Rose timidly asked me this question, I sighed. I couldn’t resist her tone at all. She looked and sounded like a pitiful little rabbit, and I couldn’t help but immediately pull her into my embrace.

“Rose, my dearest, I just didn’t want you to transform in front of everyone before I’ve figured out some things.”

“But I don’t want your tribe to doubt you because of their words.”

“Babe, this is also your tribe now. And I am proud of how well you handled things tonight.”

Rose stood on her tiptoes and pecked my cheek cutely. I immediately found her lips and passionately kissed her back.

When we were done washing up and lying on the bed, Rose asked, “How did Emily and her friend know about my past?”

“I think New Moon Tribe must have told them. Don’t worry, I’ll punish them for offending their Luna.”

Rose leaned closer to me. I stretched out my arm to let her rest on it. I couldn’t see her eyes clearly in the dark.

“Alpha, it wasn’t a big deal. Let’s just let it pass.”

“But they insulted you!”

“I’ve heard enough of these words over the past eight years. I’m already used to it. Although no one taught me how to become an excellent Luna of a tribe, I’ll just do my best. At least, I’m qualified.”

I hugged the petite woman tightly. The strength in her heart was something I had never expected. And the amount of kindness she had was incredible. I felt lucky for having such a mate.

“Alpha, can I make a request?” asked Rose suddenly after a while.

“Babe, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll do anything for you.”

“Can you help me compensate Jane for that dress? Because I don’t have money yet…”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even at a time like this, my sweetheart still didn’t forget about repaying others.

“Of course, and I guarantee that you’ll also have a lot of beautiful dresses of your own to wear in the future.”

Rose didn’t say anything else as I kissed her forehead. We quickly hugged each other and went to sleep because we had more important things to do tomorrow.

[Patrick’s P.O.V.]

It was six o’clock in the morning when I headed to the garage. Soon, Alpha and the future Luna met me.

After the ceremony last night, Alpha told me that we needed to go somewhere today and I wasn’t to mention it to anyone.

I have to say, after last night, I was very impressed with how quick-witted Rose was. Her wolf was so charismatic. Everyone knew that Emily had a soft spot for Alpha. After he drank and slept with her that one time, she seemed to be obsessed with Alpha. But now that Rose was here, we knew who our real Luna was.

“So where are we going?” Once we were in the car, I thought it was safe to ask.

“Southern Wilderness Tribe,” said my Alpha.

I was a little surprised but did not question any further as I started the car and drove.

Almost four hours later, we finally approached Southern Wilderness Tribe. I saw Luna’s expression from the rearview mirror turn sadder as Alpha held her hand tightly.

When we reached the Southern Wilderness Tribe’s packhouse, I parked the car. It was deserted and overgrown with weeds, but the buildings still stood their ground. There were even traces of blood on the walls still.

Just thinking about the scene made my blood race and I shuddered. I could not imagine what I would have done if I had experienced what Rose went through eight years ago. I didn’t even know If I would even want to survive that tragedy and live with the trauma for the rest of my life. This made me admire Rose even more for her strength and forbearance. She had taken it all on herself for eight years.

We knew how strong Rose was, so seeing her cry in front of us was heartbreaking. Alpha held her tight in his arms as he comforted her. I could even see the hatred in his eyes.

When Rose recovered, she led us to the packhouse. Soon we were in front of a locked door. The lock was already falling apart, so it didn’t take me long to open it.

We walked into the room, which looked like a study. There were bookcases along all three walls and a huge painting hung on the other side.

Alpha had told me about Luna’s miraculous survival after falling off a cliff as a child, which shocked me. What was Luna’s secret? How did she survive the fall unscathed? Why were Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy keeping a close watch on her? Why had her mother made Rose keep her wolf hidden? We started going through the books, hoping they would have the answers we sought.

Two hours later, we were left frustrated because these were just ordinary books and didn’t seem to have the information we were looking for.

“Edward, I’d like to go to some of the other rooms, is that okay?”

“No problem, Babe. Patrick, escort Luna and make sure she’s safe.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I followed Rose out of the room, up the stairs, and to the second floor. Fortunately, she had recovered. When we pushed open one of the rooms, she even smiled sweetly and told me that this was where she had first met Alpha.

It was almost an hour later when we were ready to go back to Edward. Rose had found a few photo albums in one of the rooms. She opened the albums and looked at them quietly, running her fingers across everyone’s faces. In the other room, she found some small daily items of her parents and carried them with her.

When we returned to the study, we didn’t find Edward, but his scent told me that he was nearby. Rose and I started shouting his name, trying to find him as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, the huge painting in front of us started to move, which really scared us. This oil painting was actually a secret door!

I saw Edward walk out from behind the oil painting, holding something that looked like a book in his hand.

“Let’s go home. I think I’ve found the answer to everything..”
