Chapter 193 - New Powers

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

It had almost been a week since I had come home, and the girls among the ranked members still wouldn’t talk to me. If we ever met in public, they would completely ignore me, as if I was air.

I knew why they were acting like this so I decided to play along.

Luna Taylor had become a two-faced person – treating me coldly on the surface but would always find an opportunity to sneak into my room when no one else was looking just to hold Felix and shower him with kisses. She would also talk to me and make sure I had everything I needed.

By contrast, the men were more rational. Patrick and Ad still talked to me, though quite coldly. Alpha Leon would sometimes over meals if the food was to my liking since I had just given birth. No one dared to object to his behavior because he was once an Alpha that they still greatly respected. Alpha Leon was a person who always had a clear image of the bigger picture, was able to always remain calm, and had an open mind. So it wasn’t too strange for others to see him treating me a little more nicely than the others did with me.

Edward finally stopped calling me Rose, even when it was just the two of us. He had been struggling to do away with calling me by my previous name but one night, he had almost spilled the beans. Thankfully, no one noticed. But he had been more cautious ever since.

What moved me most was Mrs. Daisy in the kitchen. She was always polite and kind to me every time we met, even when I was known as a single mother who had been brought in from the outside as Edward’s mistress. I think it was because of her years of training.

Some of the Omega members and servants in the pack, by contrast, had a bad impression of me even though they didn’t know me. I could hear and see what they were thinking but I didn’t get affected by their thoughts because they were mainly comparisons between Mona and Rose – they were complaining about me because they liked Rose better, and I had no complaints about that.

And although the members of the pack didn’t like me, they weren’t stupid enough to disobey Edward’s orders. They knew they still had to respect Mona so for now, I wasn’t in any immediate danger, which was good.

Every day, Dylan would secretly drive me to the south of the pack for training. Edward would sometimes accompany me. And when I wasn’t at the castle, Luna Taylor took over my duties over Felix. Her happiness in taking over really freed me from any worries during my training.

Although the weather was already very cold, Alonso made me train outdoors while Susanna set up a magic barrier for me. My skills had experienced a qualitative leap in control and intensity from before. And we all believed that this was because I had given birth to Phil.

Now, I could skillfully create and manipulate elements such as water, fire, earth, and wood to attack and defend against any major attacks. My sense of smell, hearing, strength, and sensitivity had also reached a very considerable level.

Most importantly, I had successfully gone berserk more and more times during training. Although I could not successfully go berserk every time, this was an improvement from only being able to go berserk twice before this as Rose.

Moreover, the intensity of my power whenever I went into berserk mode really made Alonso happy because I could now control my emotions and put them to good use, as opposed to before when I would let them go out of control.

On this day, I trained as usual in the forest near my ‘Uncle’s’ residence. Although I didn’t understand why he asked me to start with the basics every time I trained, I followed his instructions. Still, I thought these basic exercises were a bit of a waste of my time.

Just as I was about to hit a small citrus on the ground thirty meters away, I suddenly felt a strange surge in my body. Then, images began to appear in my mind as if I was watching a movie.

I didn’t know what was happening as I simply stood still, watching the images play out like a bystander. I didn’t know anyone in the images before me but I could feel their sadness, pain, hatred, killing intent, anger, loneliness, and desperation for suicide and death. I was starting to feel very uncomfortable.
