[Rose’s Perspective.]
I had been denied medical treatment for eight years, and I was glad I hadn’t been beaten to death the entire time. But this time, I woke up in the tribe infirmary, apparently already examined and medicated by a tribe doctor.
Edward returned to the infirmary shortly after he left, saying that the doctor had said that I was malnourished and weak, thus needing more sun exposure and calcium. I did not refuse his offer and allowed him to put me in a wheelchair before pushing me out into the garden to get some sun.
The weather was nice today. It was a little hot, but I still enjoyed it. I was usually in the laundry room, kitchen, or cleaning in some corner of the building that I had never had the time to admire such a lovely garden during the day.
Although I hadn’t rested for long, I felt as if I had almost recovered. Of course, this could also be because of Edward. To be more precise, it was because of his scent. The mixture of cedar and sea salt was a combination that made me feel refreshed and relaxed. The sight of him simply made my heart beat faster, thus increasing my blood circulation. However, I suddenly realized that this comfortable short period of time was about to come to an abrupt end.
“Edward, what time is it?”
“It’s 11:40 am, darling.”
I jumped up from my wheelchair and wanted to run to the kitchen, but then I felt a throbbing pain in my leg. It must have been an injury from when I was getting beaten up. D*mn it, I was already late for lunch prep. I didn’t want to be beaten up again.
“Where are you going?” Edward grabbed my arm.
“I have to cook or I’ll be punished for not preparing any food for dinner. If I go now, I can probably get away with just a few slaps.”
Edward frowned. Good God, even his frown was so sexy.
“Rose, you’re my mate now. You don’t have to cook for them anymore. In fact, you don’t have to serve them anything. You won’t be a… slave anymore.”
He paused for a moment before saying ‘slave’. It sounded like he was afraid of hurting me.

“Show me your room.” Edward decided to change the subject as he used his slender fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. The moment his fingers touched my skin, my body shivered a little.
“Alright.” I obediently brought him to my small room. When I pushed the door open, I started to feel a little embarrassed. My room was too small and the wall paint was already peeling off. There wasn’t a single piece of furniture that was distinguishable. There wasn’t even a bed.
“This is where you live?” Edward’s eyes widened in confusion.
“Yes, I’ve been living here since I was brought back eight years ago. Apart from being my bedroom, this is also a utility room. It’s quite versatile,” said I, hoping that I could add a little humor to the awkwardness. However, Edward’s expression made me shut my mouth.
“New Moon Tribe is f*cking scum. Pack up your things and move to my room.”
“What?” I thought I heard wrong.
“Pack your things. My room is on the second floor, at the end on the right.” Edward then turned and left. He was a little bossy, but I didn’t dislike him. And it didn’t seem like I had any other choice but to listen to him.
I quickly packed my things. But since I didn’t have much, it didn’t take me long to be done. I lugged my small suitcase up the stairs to the second floor of the building. The moment I arrived in front of Edward’s room, my eyes couldn’t help but move towards Alex’s room. It was hard to ignore it since this was where I would end up every time I had to clean his room.
Just as I was about to open the door, a voice came from behind me.
“Rose, what are you doing here?”
It was Alex.
“You came to find me, Rose. You made a wise choice.” I turned around and saw a victorious smile on Alex’s face. Did he think that I was regretting my decisions earlier? How could there be such a naive and blindly confident person in the world?
I ignored him and knocked on Edward’s room door. Alex’s expression changed. I heard him say ‘d*mn it’ then felt his hands grab my shoulders.
“Rose, are you going to live with this kid? Are you crazy? You can’t do this to me! I was just a little impulsive this morning. Whatever I said at that time did not reflect how I truly feel about you! You are still my beloved mate!” I turned around and tried to break free from his hands, but it was quite a struggle.
“Alex, who I live with is my business, it has nothing to do with you. Put away your ridiculous imagination, you disgusting hypocrite.”
“Rose, you are my mate sent by the Moon Goddess! You have lived here for eight years and had been given everything you need! Even if I had not been that involved in your life before this, I swear I will treat you well in the future!” Alex looked hurt but I could care less. I was more concerned over why Edward had yet to open the door for me.
“Rose, everything I have done is because I love you too much! I have already convinced my father that you will become the Luna of New Moon Tribe!” God, why did both men say that I would become the Luna of their tribes on the same day? I wasn’t ready to become a Luna at all.
While I was still in a daze, Alex’s face moved closer to mine. His hands gripped me tightly as if he wanted to kiss me. I struggled even harder, feeling an overwhelming sense of disgust. I raised my knee and tried to kick his dick, but my damned luggage was in the way..
