[Rose’s perspective.]

I took a deep breath before I knocked on the bedroom door at the end of the corridor.

Soon the door opened and I saw my partner half-naked with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. Although his muscular curves were very sexy, I was still thinking about the woman in the corridor just now.

“Darling, I was just about to look for you if you had taken any longer to show up. How was Jane’s tour?”

“Not bad, but I just saw a woman leave your room. Who is she?”

“Emily? She’s an Omega of our tribe.”

“Well, she’s the second woman to tell me she’s going to be Luna of Sunset Tribe…

“So, Alpha, I’m just a slave you saved, not your true mate, then?”

I saw Edward’s Adam’s apple quiver. I didn’t want to seem aggressive or petty, but I certainly didn’t want to be a third party.

“Rose, to be honest, Emily was my one-night stand.”

When Edward said this, I felt a twinge of bitterness in my heart.

“But you have to understand, I’m already twenty-six years old and hadn’t had a mate, which can make a man feel lonely and irritable at times. I’ve had some difficult nights, most of which I’ve spent alone, but I’ve had brief dates and a few one-night stands.”

I looked at Edward quietly as he spoke with a serious expression on his face. This was the first time I’d seen it on him when he’s talking to me since I’d met him.

“I swore to the Moon Goddess that if I ever met the person I was meant to be with, none of this would ever happen again, that my body and mind would belong to my mate, that I would be faithful to her. Also, Emily did want to have sex with me, but I turned her down.”

I nodded and didn’t say anything more. The Moon Goddess had indeed set me up with Edward, but I was still not sure if we were meant to be together.

I felt a little depressed. If only I could talk to Charlotte now – she could give me some ideas and advice, just like when I was a child. But since my mother had asked me to hide my wolf, I hadn’t spoken to Charlotte in eight years, let alone transformed.

I expressed my sleepiness, and Edward showed me the bathroom. I was once again amazed at Sunset Tribe’s resources. They had a huge, in-the-ground bathtub which Edward said had a jacuzzi function. In addition to the bathtub was a shower next to it.

I chose the shower. Edward taught me how to let out hot water from the shower and told me not to worry about time because it would let out the water at a constant set temperature. Once he showed me where the shampoo and shower gel were, I took out a change of clothes from my carry-on suitcase – it seemed that Patrick had put my luggage in the room beforehand.

I felt good as the hot water showered down on me. I’d forgotten the last time I took a hot shower. For eight years, I had been washing myself with cold water and soap.

By the time I got out of the bathroom in my t-shirt and shorts, Edward had changed into his housecoat. I could feel the heat in his eyes. I thought it might be because I wasn’t wearing a bra. But he didn’t say anything. Instead, he started drying my hair with a hairdryer.

He was very gentle, and I couldn’t say no. I thought I should give him a chance to show me what he was made of.

When it was all over, we lay down together on the big and soft bed in the room. I could only say that the comfort level of this bed was f*cking amazing. All I wanted at the moment was to sleep on it forever.

Neither of us spoke another word. Edward simply kissed me on the forehead as we waited for sleep to come. Too much had happened today, and I quickly fell asleep on the big, comfortable bed..
