[Clyde’s P.O.V.]
I drove like crazy and by the time I got to Sunset Tribe, Patrick had already prepared a cabin for me. It was modern in design and complete with everything, so much better than where I lived in New Moon Tribe.
I didn’t have time to unpack, I just chucked my stuff aside and followed the crowd to the place where tonight’s welcome ceremony was going to be held – in front of a huge, magnificent castle. I had seen a lot of castles, but I was surprised that a ranked member of Sunset Tribe lived in such a castle, like a real aristocrat.
When the ceremony officially began, a strong old man appeared first. He was Alpha’s father. Immediately after, Alpha led his mate out of the castle and waved to the crowd.
I finally saw Rose again. She was clearly dressed up today, wearing a pink dress like a girl from a fairy tale.
Edward announced his mate to the crowd and asked them to show Rose kindness and respect. But very quickly, the kindness and respect were shattered by a woman’s piercing voice.
“Everyone! Rose is a liar! She’s a lowly slave of New Moon Tribe! She seduced Alpha! Moreover, she doesn’t have a wolf! We don’t need a defect as our Luna!”
I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a woman with an outrageous hair color. Then, another tall woman with brown-red hair beside her added fuel to the fire.
“A Luna who doesn’t have a wolf can’t protect her tribe well! If this is slander, then let Rose prove it to everyone!”
I could tell that Edward was angry. He used his Alpha voice to scold them and I admired him for already enduring so well in this situation.
What were these women thinking? Why would they provoke an Alpha of a tribe in public? I took note of the faces of these two women, who were probably no different than Sarah of New Moon Tribe and her army of whores.
Suddenly, I saw Rose let go of Edward’s hand. I thought she would panic and cry, but what she did next completely shocked me and everyone else.
Rose started to change – fur was coming out of her skin and I could feel the heat in the air.
Under the full moon, a wolf like no other I had ever seen appeared.
Her wolf stood about twelve or thirteen feet tall with fur that brimmed in shades that were a combination of light purple and pink. She shone with an amazing luster under the moonlight. Her blue pupils dazzled like the most expensive diamonds in the world. Rose’s transformation shocked everyone. I bet they had never seen such an amazing and special wolf in their lives. I hadn’t either.
I watched Rose’s wolf approach the crowd and the latter made way for her. She headed straight for the two troublemakers and glared at them. The woman with the dyed hair almost peed her pants.
I watched quietly. If Rose tried to attack them, they deserved it. After all, they’d just used dirty words which would have infuriated anyone. But in the end, Rose didn’t do anything. She just turned and walked back to the castle as Edward ran in after her.
Soon, Rose appeared again in a T-shirt and jeans, her usual style for the past eight years.
The crowd was still there and everyone was waiting for what the future Luna would say.
“Before Edward met me, I was indeed a slave of New Moon Tribe, but it wasn’t my fault. Those miserable days taught me the value of kindness and justice. I don’t expect all of you to like me. I can only say that I will live up to the responsibility of being Luna and defend this tribe.”
Oh, I wasn’t wrong about this girl. She had always been so brave and strong.
[Sarah’s P.O.V.]
Ring…ring…ring…
I looked at the caller ID and answered the call. In an instant, my ears were filled with furious curses.
“Sarah, you told me that Rose has been a useless slave to your tribe for the past eight years and that she doesn’t have a wolf. How stupid are you? Have you gone blind or deaf for the past eight years?”
“What happened? What did this b*tch do?”
“She transformed! Just now! A wolf that’s a thousand times more beautiful than yours! And this was after I had questioned her in public! If I’m punished by my Alpha for this, I’ll never let you go!”
The call ended and I was a little confused. Did Emily just say Rose transformed? How was this possible?! Wasn’t she just a good-for-nothing without a wolf?!
I quickly went to Alex and told him everything that Emily said. But he didn’t look surprised. Instead, he started to tease me.
“Isn’t Emily your love rival? When did you two get along so well?”
“Alex, shut up! Haven’t you heard the old saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend? So you knew that Rose had a wolf and didn’t tell me?”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that she is the daughter of the late Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy of Southern Wilderness Tribe.”
“What?!”
I couldn’t believe my ears. How did that useless slave suddenly become an Alpha’s daughter? If It’s true, why didn’t she fight back all this time and willingly get beaten so badly? Something was definitely amiss here..
