[Edward’s P.O.V.]

When we returned from Southern Wilderness Tribe, I told several members of the tribe that Rose was a Werewolf of Chaos. Obviously, they were very surprised, but they promised to keep it a secret. Rose was also slowly starting to recover from her shock, which I was happy to see.

Jane, Ad, and Patrick began to invite Rose more frequently to small events – it was clear that they wanted to help her divert her attention. For example, they took her to the recreation room and taught her to play billiards and foosball.

I have to admit, the way Rose played billiards was absolutely lovely and charming. When I joined them later, I was surprised to see that Rose had beat Jane three games in a row. Everyone was surprised when Rose accurately hit the black ball into the bag. By the end of the games, they called her the ‘Nine-ball Princess’. Was playing billiards one of the abilities of a Werewolf of Chaos?

I hadn’t been idle either. While everyone was keeping Rose company and making sure she was safe, I decided to spend time at the library of the Council of Elders’ headquarters. It was so big that I had to spend two whole days in it.

With the library’s search system, I found all the books about the Werewolves of Chaos by keyword and chronology. Once I had gathered them, I wasted no time delving into the information. But they all pretty much said the same thing as the excerpts from Alpha Austin’s diary.

Just when I thought I might not find anything, a recent book that seemed new caught my attention.

When I opened the book to read it, the contents surprised me as it contained records of what happened to all Werewolves of Chaos. But to my dismay, most of them had been captured by vampire Nicholas – many of the corpses were found all over the world and appeared to have been fed on by vampires. The female corpses also showed signs of giving birth. Only a few of the Werewolves of Chaos were marked as ‘missing’.

I saw that Rose’s mother, Luna Nancy from the Southern Wilderness, was also marked as ‘Missing’ and I have reason to believe that Alpha Austin must have reported to the Council of Elders that his wife had been taken away by Nicholas as Werewolf of Chaos but her body had yet to be found. As such, the Council of Elders did not deem her as dead yet. Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy stood their ground to the very end – they still insisted that Luna Nancy was a Werewolf of Chaos so that no one would suspect their daughter.

The book also mentioned that the Werewolves of Chaos were found by the vampires but not because the former had used their abilities. This made me feel better. But since Rose had hidden her ability so well for so many years, I’ll just remind her to keep on doing so.

I continued reading and was amazed by the time I reached the end of the book.

[On July 15th, 2004, the holy star descended. As a great heroine, the Heavens will give this person a great responsibility. She must first strain her bones, starve her body, and leave her body empty. Then, she will combine with a certain destined Alpha to stimulate the energy in her body, vanquish demons, and turn the stained land pure. The relationship between the two must not be broken or the heroine would eventually be captured and the dark army would splatter the blood of the wolves. Her heart must always be as bright as the sun and the moon in order to maximize her ability.]

When I returned to the castle, I told Rose and the other members of the ranks what I had found, and everyone fell silent. If the contents of the book were true, there was no doubt that Rose was the star that descended into the world and shouldered a heavy responsibility. But honestly, I didn’t want my mate to face any danger. If it was possible, I would rather have her be an ordinary woman for the rest of her life, to just be my lover.

“Rose, I need you to hide your wolf and suppress your ability. That damned vampire will or probably has discovered that your mother isn’t a Werewolf of Chaos. He might have been searching for you all these years.”

Rose nodded. I could see that she was a little flustered and uneasy. I completely understood. She was only eighteen years old. How was she going to live according to these ridiculous words? It did sound a little suffocating. But after what had happened before, Rose seemed to have become more calm and collected, which surprised me instead.

My father said, “Regardless of what the book says, Rose is going to be married to her destined alpha, so the relationship between the two of you cannot be broken. I don’t think this will be difficult for you and we will do everything we can to keep Rose safe. So I guess the real question, is that it is time for our tribe to truly accept a Luna. Dear Rose, are you ready to be Luna for your tribe?”

I looked at my mate. There was still some uneasiness in her eyes, but her determination was stronger. 

“I love Edward, and I love his tribe. This is my home now. I’m ready to become the Luna of the Sunset Tribe..”
