[Edward’s perspective.]
I brought my parents, Patrick and Ad to my office before telling them how I had found out about Rose, and how she had been treated inhumanely for eight years in New Moon Tribe. They expressed anger and disdain at the brutality of New Moon Tribe, except for Patrick who had shocked and beaten Alex to a pulp.
“So, Rose has always been a werewolf without a wolf?” My father still raised the key question.

“Edward, you know the position of Luna is very important. If a werewolf without a wolf becomes Luna, it will be difficult to convince the public.”
I quietly waited for my father to continue. Things were not looking good but I had to admit that my father’s words were true.
“But Rose is the destined mate that the Moon Goddess has arranged for you. I believe that all of this is the best arrangement. So the right next step would be for everyone to help Rose establish a Luna’s authority in the tribe.” This was my father, a great and competent former alpha who would always find a way to deal with problems instead of complaining.
“Child, when I first saw Rose, I thought she seemed quite familiar. But perhaps this is because you don’t have a sister.”
I smiled. I knew that my mother had always wanted to have a daughter. If Rose became Luna, my mother’s wish would come true. Then, I suddenly thought of another matter.
“New Moon Tribe’s Alpha Alex was Rose’s first mate, but they had already rejected each other. It was on the morning of Alex’s coronation ceremony. However, the strange thing was that Alex was still crazily fighting for Rose. Even though he had no chance of winning, he showed that he loved her very much. He even almost disobeyed his father because of this.”
“Are you saying that Alex expressed his strong love for a slave who does not have a wolf in public? This is not something that he should do. The moment they massacred Southern Wilderness Tribe, everyone knows that New Moon Tribe is a filthy tribe that only seeks profit.”
“That’s right, Ad.”
“My boys, this is probably just because of the possessiveness and competitiveness of men. After all, Rose was his mate that morning, and soon became Edward’s mate before leaving New Moon Tribe the next day. This must have made Alex very unhappy. I can only say that the Moon Goddess is very efficient.” My mother disapproved of Alex’s performance as my father frowned.

“Edward, did you notice anything unusual during your stay in New Moon Tribe?”
“No, Dad. If anything – and this might sound a little unbelievable – but ever since I met Rose, I feel that the bond between me and Rory has become stronger.”
After I said that, I saw everyone’s faces fill with shock.
“Uh… I think that this might be because Rose is a survivor of Southern Wilderness Tribe. This rekindled your memories and feelings towards that incident and Rory. After all, Rory is also a member of Southern Wilderness Tribe, so that’s why you feel this way. Otherwise, this really doesn’t make sense.”
After Patrick stepped in to smooth things over, I raised my eyebrows and tacitly agreed with what he said.
“Edward, as your father, I’m not saying that Rose is bad. If your mate now is Rory, things might have been easier. But it’s all in the past now.”
My father had a rational brain, but his words still made me feel a little heartache, and the increasingly strong sense of attachment still left me a little confused. Was it because Rory was trying to stop me from marrying Rose? I didn’t know.
Although I had only met my first partner, Rory, once, at the age of 18, I could feel that she was the one. I could only plan to talk to Rose when the time was right, and while it might touch a raw nerve about her tribe’s memory, I had no choice..
