[Edward’s Perspective.]
I left the infirmary and walked back to my room to check on some of the documents for the meeting tomorrow. I would go see Rose later, relieved that Patrick would be waiting at the door of the infirmary while I was gone.
On the way back to my room, I felt a strange sensation. Guilt, even. I told Rose not to reject me in a hurry. Yet, I said that I would bring her back to live with me in Sunset Tribe. And she naively agreed. She might have thought that I was simply protecting her. And perhaps I was. But there was more to that.
My first mate was someone I loved but could not be with. She was also a member Southern Wilderness Tribe, killed in that despicable massacre many years ago. Although I did not personally witness her death, it was reported in the sensational news. I wanted to ask Rose how she managed to escape, but I felt that it was not the right time to ask.
I was already twenty-six years old but I was only eighteen when I met my first mate. Time passed too quickly. I might have lost my first mate, but the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance through Rose. If Rose had survived, perhaps my mate could have escaped as well. If there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance that she was still alive, the pain of remembering the massacre of her race would have probably continued to ravage her body and mind. How miserable her life must have been all this while!
My heart started to ache the more I thought about it. I simply hoped that she had turned into an angel instead. At least she could have ended up with her family then.
As for Rose, I could tell from her reaction towards Alex that she was a little wild cat, in addition to being a stunning beauty. I wasn’t put off at all. Rather, I thought she had quite a lot of courage. Still, she had no wolf, which was a big problem because I was an Alpha. I had to choose a Luna not only based on my personal interests but also those of the tribe as well. It was really difficult for a Luna without a wolf to shoulder the responsibilities that came with the position.
I didn’t know what my parents would think of this, or if the tribe members would accept Rose, but I decided to take her back and deal with the rest later. Maybe her wolf would reveal itself once she was in a safer and more stable environment, after she had mated with me, or after both conditions had been met.
I admit that I found Rose’s smell and appearance very sexually attractive and that she was the mate that the Moon Goddess had arranged for me. So mating shouldn’t be a problem between the two of us.
And although I don’t know why that Omega Clyde defied the orders of New Moon Tribe’s Alpha and chose to save Rose instead, it seemed that there are a few good samaritans here. I would reward Clyde later, if he didn’t get killed by his Alpha yet..
