Chapter 91 He Hides His Thoughts
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
When Clyde suggested that he pick up Alonso at the airport alone, I didn’t object. I simply asked that he bring the car back and park it in the castle’s basement parking lot where Patrick and I would wait for them.
Just as I was wondering why they had taken so long to get from the airport to the pack, I finally saw Clyde arrive in the pack’s Land Rover. We were once again on American soil with this fair-skinned boy with different-colored pupils. I could already imagine how shocked everyone would be when I introduce him as someone I met on my business trip.
“Alonso, welcome to Sunset Pack,” said I as I shook his hand.
“Alpha, this is what I do.”
I asked Clyde and Patrick to help him carry his luggage to the room we had arranged for him, which he was quite pleased with since I treated him as a VIP.
“If you have any other needs, feel free to ask me,” said I to him.
“Alpha, I hope to meet Luna as soon as possible.”
I wanted to give him some time to rest but since he had volunteered, I was more than happy.
I asked Clyde to bring Alonso to my office in half an hour and I went back to my room. Rose was reading in her study with great interest. I walked over and helped her brush a few strands of loose hair behind her ears. She kissed me on the cheek sweetly.
“Dearest, I’m going to bring you to meet someone soon.”
“Who is it?”
“Before that, I have to be honest with you. Going to England for my business trip was only half the truth. I was only there for a day.”
I saw Rose looking at me with some confusion. She probably couldn’t understand why I was telling this. But I had to be honest with her. When I told her the whole truth, she accepted it calmly. Fortunately, she agreed that it was for her own good.
When Rose heard me say that Alonso was also a Werewolf of Chaos, she was a little excited.
“I always thought that I was alone!”
“Well, Babe, now you have a companion. Actually, Clyde is one too.”
“But I almost killed him…”
“He has already forgotten about this matter. I believe that you will be able to control your ability more skillfully soon.”
“Alpha, I know that you went to Turkey to look for that person for me, but I hope you will be able to freely and openly tell me about these things beforehand in the future. I need to know where you are and that you’re safe.”
“We will face the future together.” I kissed her eyelashes, showing that I had missed her dearly. Although I was strong but I was also glad to have my mate think of and care for me.
I let Rose change clothes before leading her to the office. I also notified the other ranked members of the community to meet us at my office. They needed to know the truth so they could help him in the pack.
When everyone was present, I briefly explained what had happened. Of course, I omitted the part where he dealt with Patrick. Fortunately, everyone welcomed Alonso and offered to cooperate with him.
“Mr. Prometheus, I never thought you would be a child. Well, I mean you must be very skilled and experienced. We can’t wait to work with you to help Rose.” Jane’s words were a bit stiff, obviously. It wouldn’t be a surprise that she had doubts about Alonso’s ability. And honestly, I had a little doubt too. I might have seen him easily lift Patrick up through the air, but I had never seen his other abilities.
“Just call me Alonso. We’ll officially begin Luna’s training tomorrow.”
“How will you train me?” asked Rose.
“You’ll know tomorrow. The training will be tough. I hope you have the willpower to go through with it.”
“You can count on me, sir.”
“Luna, please, just call me Alonso.”
It seemed that this friend from afar was very strict and somewhat unreasonable.
After this small meeting, Rose and I accompanied Alonso on a tour around the castle. We told him the location of the dining hall and that he could contact me if he needed anything. Then, we returned to our rooms.
“Edward, are you sure he came to us as soon as he landed?”
As soon as I closed the door to my room, Rose immediately asked me a question.
“I think so. Where else would he go?”
“But he just had sex.”
“What?”
“I can smell it. He just had sex before he met us, not with a human.”
I was impressed by Rose’s keen sense of smell and believed her words. Still, I couldn’t believe this child just had sex!
“That might be his private life. All I care about is that he trains you well.”
“Alright, there’s one more thing. I can’t read his thoughts.”
“What do you mean?”
“Regardless of whether my ability was activated passively or actively, I couldn’t read his thoughts. Isn’t that weird? He seems to have erected an invisible barrier to me.”
Oh, this didn’t sound too good. After all, if Alonso made any rash moves, I was hoping Rose’s mind-reading ability would help us deal with him. Moreover, if he was honest in his intentions to help Rose, why would he block her out?
