[Edward’s Perspective.]

I didn’t know why the Alpha Conference had to be brought forward, and I felt a twinge of guilt as I watched Rose’s innocent eyes flash with disappointment at not being able to go to the amusement park.

Patrick was driving us back and Rose was asleep so I pulled out my phone to give a shot at explaining things to my parents so they wouldn’t be too surprised when I brought Rose back to the tribe.

I found our family’s group chat and started sending messages.

[Me: Mom, Dad, I found the mate the Moon Goddess had arranged for me in New Moon Tribe. She is from the Southern Wilderness Tribe, a survivor of the massacre, very beautiful, but without wolf. She was imprisoned and enslaved by New Moon Tribe for eight years, beaten and starved all year round.]

When the message was sent, I felt a little apprehensive. Although I knew that my parents were reasonable and kind people, I could not help but worry how they would judge a female without a wolf to possibly become a Luna. But no matter what their reaction would be, I had already decided to bring Rose back with me.

I needed to obtain more information about Southern Wilderness Tribe and their massacre anyway. Moreover, if I did not bring her back, she might be beaten to death by New Moon Tribe eventually.

[Father: OMG, your mate is a survivor of Southern Wilderness Tribe?!]

[Mother: She was enslaved for eight years? Poor child, bring her back with you. I think Austin and Nancy would be happy if you do so.]

Sure enough, my parents chose to stand on my side. They did not even ask about Rose’s wolf. Southern Wilderness Tribe’s Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy were good friends with my parents. After the massacre, my father was very angry and my mother even cried a few times.

I noticed that Patrick had looked in the rearview mirror a few times. After he confirmed that Rose was in a deep sleep, he finally spoke.

“Alpha, I’m still very surprised that our Luna is a survivor of Southern Wilderness Tribe.”

“Me too.”

“Anyway, your pursuers will be heartbroken. You have finally found your mate.”

I smiled and did not comment.

“Oh, I’ve become the only pitiful person who’s still single among the members of my tribe. Even my best friend is already taken. I wonder when my mate will appear.”

“Patrick, I used condoms for the few one-night stands that I’ve had in the past. Not a single drop of my seed has been scattered elsewhere. As for you, I advise you to be careful and stop sleeping around. If you often walk by the river, you will definitely get your shoes wet. Think about your brother Noah.”

Patrick made a gesture of touching his forehead. He knew what I was referring to. Patrick’s little brother Noah was promiscuous and had impregnated an elf who was not his mate after a passionate encounter.

“Is that elf Eve still living in Noah’s house?”

“Yes, but wasn’t she a wh*re? She drugged Noah and tricked him into sleeping with her. She also made Noah think that she took birth control pills, but after that, she became pregnant with his child. She single-handedly destroyed any good feelings we had for the elves. If my brother finds his mate after that, I would encourage him to break out of his cage instead of being a caged beast.”

“What do your parents think?”

“Oh, don’t even get me started. Our father is on the side of the elf and sees that child as his eldest grandson. So Noah has to take responsibility no matter what. But our mother has a firm belief in the whole mate system, you know that.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But she is a kind woman. She sympathizes with that hypocritical elf and can’t sit idly by while she is pregnant with her grandson. And the youngest woman in our family doesn’t seem to know about this yet.”

“Has your little sister Lily found a mate?”

“Not yet. I think she has set some pretty high standards because her brother is so outstanding, you know?”

I chuckled. Patrick always couldn’t say more than five sentences before throwing in some humor. I didn’t know if he would become less of a ruffian after having a mate. As the Beta of the tribe, I had to say that Patrick was very dedicated and competent. At the same time, he was also the source of our laughter.

“Seriously, if I find my mate, she’ll be my only true love, and my dick will only get hard for her.” I looked at Patrick’s intoxicated expression in the rearview mirror.

“Save your disgusting vows for when you do meet your mate,” I retorted, glancing at Rose who was still sleeping like a doll. I was glad she didn’t hear Patrick’s dirty words..
