237 A Strange Meeting
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
“Elder Liam, Frankie wants to meet Mona?”
Edward was looking at me and I could see the surprise in his eyes. I didn’t need to think much as I simply nodded in return. Edward told Elder Liam that I agreed, though with a hint of hesitation.
“Baby, do you know that Werewolf of Chaos?” asked Edward right after he had hung up.
“I don’t know him but I had seen him when I used the Illusion of Despair on Nicholas. I think I need to meet him since he asked to see me.”
But Edward’s first reaction was to stop me.
“I mean, maybe we can wait for his public trial before going. The elders said that he didn’t say anything during his imprisonment. Moreover, his surrender is suspicious in itself. I don’t want you getting too close to him, especially since we don’t know what he is up to.”
“Alpha, don’t you remember? I can read others’ thoughts. I think it’s beneficial for the council to interrogate him in my presence. I can see if he’s lying.”
“But what if he can keep you out of his thoughts too? What if he was a Werewolf of Chaos too?” It seemed that he was now half an expert in studying Werewolves of Chaos.
“You’re right, but I still need to go. I want to be as useful as possible because I have a very good feeling that this person has information about my mother. I saw him next to her in Nicholas’s Illusion of Despair. I need to know the truth.”
“Alright, then we’ll go.”
“Alonso will also have some insights because I had requested his help regarding something related to this previously.”
“When did this happen?”
“On the day we returned to the pack, I told him everything I saw in Nicholas’s vision. He promised me that he would help me investigate.”
When I told Edward about Alonso’s findings, he sighed.
“Baby, you can completely take charge now, but I still hope that I can protect you and our son’s safety,” said Edward to me with a hint of loneliness and worry in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, I hooked my hand around his neck and sealed his lips with mine.
“Alpha, I might start to walk on different paths as you and become stronger, but I will always be yours and yours only.” I was not lying.
