Chapter 179: Before Giving Birth
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
“Alpha, I know you are a wise and brave man, but I do not think that this is a very wise decision.”
Edward decided to then call Susanna and Alonso into my room. They sat around my bed and Edward told them everything. Alonso’s reaction was similar to mine but he at least did so more tactfully than me.
“Alonso, I am confident that the werewolf race’s elite warriors are in no way inferior to those b*stards. They will be able to get rid of those vampires. In fact, over the years, most of the larger werewolf packs have been training their most elite as ‘vampire killers’ to increase their defenses. I think it’s time for them to step into the limelight and do what they’ve been training for.”
“But this is Nicholas we’re talking about.”
“And what about him? Is he God? Many packs have been training their warriors and everyone is in high spirits. Don’t worry, only the most elite group will directly target that demon. I’ll join in the party too.” My mate scoffed at Alonso’s concerns.
“You’re going to be one of the people going to capture Nicholas?! No, I will definitely not let you take this risk!”
I never knew Edward was planning to be part of this, to go to battle face-to-face with Nicholas. He was hiding it from me, which only made me more upset.
“Alpha, that demon has lived for thousands of years, even during Cain’s time. If he had been so easy to deal with, he would have been killed ten thousand times over by his enemies already.”
“I believe that the Council of Elders has made their decision, Alonso. If they weren’t confident, they wouldn’t have decided to do this.”
“Fine, I won’t say anything more. But I will make it clear right now that, as long as it is related to Werewolves of Chaos, I’m not allowed to be a part of any of this by a higher power. So when the time comes, I won’t be able to lend a hand. However, I will continue to train Rose, especially after she gives birth. We have our own battle to fight, after all,” said Alonso.
“That’s not a problem, you have already done a lot.” Edward did not disagree with Alonso. And while I was thankful that these two men were more or less on the same page, I was also furious that they kept making their own decisions and made me feel like I was air. Did my presence and opinions mean nothing to them?
I especially could not tolerate Edward saying that he would challenge Nicholas directly. I clearly remembered Alonso saying that even the Hellfire I summoned previously was not enough to kill ordinary vampires. So I could only imagine what it would take for a group of ordinary werewolves to deal with the vampires, let alone Nicholas. Werewolves might pride themselves on being strong and agile, but Nicholas lived hundreds of times longer than them. Moreover, he was the leader of the vampire race.
“Edward, have you ever considered my feelings? If something happens to you, what about me and our child?” I started to sob as I spoke to him. I couldn’t hold back my emotions.
“Rose, if I can exchange my life for your safety and future, I will do it without hesitation. And while I promise that I will do my best to defend myself, I am dying to capture that b*stard.”
I bit my lips hard. Those were not the words I wanted to hear. All I wanted was for him to stay by my side. I didn’t care what life we lived, whether it was one where we were constantly on the run or one where we lived idly and in isolation. As long as he was with me, I could endure anything.
‘Rose, stop arguing with Alpha. He’s made up his mind.’
I looked at Alonso in surprise and found him staring back at him. That was when I knew he had telepathically spoken to me through our connection as Werewolves of Chaos.
‘Alonso, I don’t want Edward to take any risks. He’s my mate. He’s everything to me. I don’t think you fully understand how I feel.’
‘I do, actually, more than anyone, but this has all been arranged by the moon goddess.’
‘Please tell me that you saw this coming, and more. What did you see? What do you know? Please tell me.’
‘I’m sorry, I didn’t. The higher powers did not hint anything to me about this. All I know is that you should just follow your heart, but also know that this was meant to happen.’
‘Follow my heart? What do you mean?’
I wanted to keep asking Alonso, but I quickly realized that something was wrong. My stomach had started to tighten and I was feeling a slight cramp.
Then, I felt something like water rushing out of my lower body. Even though I was under the covers, it still made me feel very embarrassed and overwhelmed.
