NovelEnglishChapter 71 The Monster Is…
[Edward’s P.0.v.]
After returning to my room, I took a quick shower. Rose did the same. Then, I sat on our bed and Rose sat opposite me. She lowered her head and I held her hand tightly.
“Rose, Babe, I need you to be honest with me about whatever’s in your head.”
She nodded, looking a little dejected.
“Did you attack Clyde?”
“I don’t remember… Even if I did, I definitely didn’t mean to! I’m sorry…”
“You mean, you attacked him unconsciously?”
“I don’t know. But when I saw him provoke that… Uh, when I saw that figure, I felt a burst of energy from my body, and then I fainted. But I swear, I definitely didn’t mean to hurt him. I don’t know why there was a burst of energy at that time either.”
Hearing her say this, I realized the seriousness of the situation.
“Rose, I think we have to act now and start training you to restrain your abilities. We can’t risk another outburst hurting another innocent person.

“Edward, I’ve never thought of using my abilities to harm the innocent or even kill them. But you’re right. Today is Clyde. Tomorrow might be another unintended victim. I’m an anomaly. Why don’t you just lock me up for the safety of the pack?” “Don’t be silly. You just need to learn to control yourself. How can I lock you up?”
I hugged Rose tightly. I knew that she was still in a state of emotional turmoil. Back then, just the sight of an injured bird would make her sigh endlessly and she would not rest until she had healed it back to recovery. How could a person like that intentionally hurt someone? But still, whatever just happened was giving me a headache. I still did not have a way to help her keep her abilities under control.

“Babe, have these monsters appeared in Southern Wilderness Pack before?”
Rose was sobbing in my arms before immediately looking up at me again. Her gaze was empty as she shook her head. But after a while, she started to nod her head.
“What? These monsters had been around before?”
I was really surprised because I had never heard Rose or anyone else mention it before.
“Edward, I had hidden something from you in the car earlier.”
“Dearest, what is it? You can be at ease and tell
me.”
“I think I know why this energy burst out.”
I looked at her quietly and waited for her to continue. Her expression turned very solemn and sad. I had a bad feeling about it.
“The ‘monster’ that Clyde wanted to kill…”
I continued to look at Rose. Her voice was choked with sobs. She didn’t seem to want to call them monsters, which puzzled me.
“Darling, I’m listening.”
“The ‘monster’ that you’re talking about is my father!!
“The ‘monsters’ that you were fighting were my people!” “What??”
I was stunned. Completely stunned. But I quickly regained my composure.
“Babe, I think you’re too nervous and tired. You must have seen it wrongly. How could it be-“
“Alpha, do you think that I could have mistaken my own father? That WAS my father! Austin Jeffrey Garner! Even if he had turned into ashes, I’ll still recognize him!”
“But your father and his people were already…”
“I know, that’s what I don’t understand. But I’m sure that I wouldn’t mistake him for someone else.”
I gathered my emotions. Rose was already very weak now and I had to be her pillar of support even though I was shocked by the thought of her father and people being resurrected. They were like zombies.

“Okay.”
Rose lowered her head again and tears continued to flow down again, dripping onto her clothes. I quickly wiped them away.
“Edward, tell me, was my father killed again?” Rose’s question triggered a wave of pain in my heart.
“No, he ran away.”
“I will go to apologize to Clyde. If I have to be punished because of this, please deal with it impartially.”
“After Clyde recovers a little, I will go and talk to him.”
I hugged Rose again, trying to understand her current feelings to the greatest extent. I tried to imagine what I would have done if I were to experience all of this.
According to werewolf law, death by an assault on a member of the same species carries a severe penalty, ranging from deportation to death. If the victim was only injured, the punishment could vary. And if the victim was willing to forgive, the punishment could be waived.
I didn’t know if Clyde would forgive Rose, but I was willing to drop my Alpha status and talk to him. I wasn’t protecting Rose, but I thought if it was me or anyone else for that matter, we would have done the same.
Clyde’s wolf was different. I could tell at a glance. I remembered how he had come to Rose’s rescue at New Moon Pack; how soon he joined our pack after Rose arrived; and then what had happened today.
This man had secrets and he was closely related to Rose. Everything he had done seemed planned, but I knew nothing about him.
Just the thought of it made my heart nervously skip a beat.
