Chapter 146: He’s Going to Marry Someone Else
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
When I was done washing up, I finally lay on the bed, ready to go to sleep. But then, my little wolf kicked me hard. These kicks made it difficult for me to fall asleep. He was a lively child and he always kicked me hard, which made me very happy. I speculated that perhaps he was a boy.
Then my waist started to feel really sore. I tossed and turned but no matter what position I lay on the bed, I still felt very uncomfortable. I thought that maybe I should sit up or go for a short walk. Tomorrow I would ask Susanna for some advice since I had never encountered such a situation before.
I got up from bed and wanted to go to the kitchen to get some water to drink, but just as my hand was about to pull the handle of the bedroom door, I heard a noise outside. Although I could feel that they were trying to keep their voices down, my sharp hearing thanks to me being a Werewolf of Chaos managed to eavesdrop on the conversation.
“I don’t understand why you’re lying to her about this! If she finds out the truth, she’ll resent you.”
“I’d rather she resent me! I have to ensure the safety of her and the child!”
I didn’t hesitate anymore as I immediately pushed open the door and went out.
“What are you talking about? What did you lie to me about?” asked I.
“My dear! Why aren’t you asleep? It’s not good for the child.” Susanna came over and held my arm, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
“I need you to tell me the truth! What are you lying to me about!” I demanded loudly. I didn’t like being lied to.
“Tell her. She will find out sooner or later,” said Susanna to Alonso. But he just looked at me.
I crossed my arms in front of my chest, waiting for him to give me an answer.
“Alright then. But you have to promise that you will control your emotions,” said he to me.
“That depends on what you want to say.”
Alonso thought about how to express what he was going to say next. But the more he acted like this, the more curious I became.
“Rose, the person who humiliated and ignored you in Sunset Pack isn’t the real Edward. He was an imposter who has been disguised as Edward with black magic.”
I was shocked.
“But you told me that he was Edward and that you couldn’t tell what was wrong with him!”
“I lied to you, Rose. That person wasn’t Edward. I had suspected that someone wanted to destroy your relationship, thus causing Edward’s car accident and then replacing him with an imposter.”
“Then where is the real Edward now?”
“He seems to have returned to Sunset Pack.”
Alonso’s words buzzed in my ears and I felt my mind go blank.
There was an imposter in the castle and no one knew. I cut off my connection with everyone because of an imposter!
I rushed into my bedroom and found the phone Edward had bought for me in my suitcase. I didn’t care that I had strewn my clothes all over the place.
I trembled as I pressed the power button. Thankfully, it still had some battery life left in it, but then I realized that I couldn’t make a call.
“I’ve already gotten rid of your phone card. It will only put you in more danger,” said Alonso casually as he walked in. I felt like a train had run over my heart. But then, it bounced back to life, this time beating stronger than ever, powered by anger and resentment.
“Why did you lie to me?! Do you know what you’ve done?! You made me cut off my connection with Edward! You made me end our relationship! Didn’t you want to protect me?! You clearly knew that cutting off the connection would make it easier for vampires to find me. And you even stopped training me! You are not my ancestor! You are my murderer!!”
“I did not know that you would make the decision to cut off your connection! And I stopped your training because I was afraid that the energy in your body would burst out and affect your child!”
“Why do you always impose your will on others? You think it is for their own good, but this is simply your selfish act of sharing the pain of your eternal life with others! You’re so selfish and cold-blooded! You’re disgusting! I’m getting out of here!”
“Stop being crazy, the safety of your child should be your utmost priority right now. Where will you go? Your Alpha is ready to marry Emily to make her the new Luna.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. I just felt my vision and hearing blur out as my body became weak. I couldn’t help but sit down on the floor as Susanna’s cries filled my ears.
