___ROSE'S POV___
We couldn't continue, not now that the person on the other side knows there are people on the other side of the door. It could be someone trying to use the toilet or something.
Nate and I spang apart and tried to look as presentable as possible. I know it's going to be harder on my part because of how much undressing I did, but I did what I could. I dragged the clothes back down and up to my boobs and arranged it. Fortunately, my hair didn't undergo much, so I just had to use my fingers to comb through for it to go back to the way it used to be.
There was a mirror in the room so I used it to check my face. The makeup hasn't smugged much, except for my lipstick which I will reapply as soon as I get to my bag. I'm sure Jerry left a lipstick of this shade in my bag. He never allows me
___ROSE'S POV____I know Jo jokes around a lot so I didn't pay head to whatever she has just said. I strolled forward to go and join them on the dinning table and the excited face she turned towards me had me curious. What if it's true? What if I am really truly viral? I shook my head to clear these thoughts. There's no way that's possible.She barely let me sit down before she hovered around me, that silly smile still on her face. "Have you checked your phone this morning?".As a matter of fact, I haven't. Since I switched it off in the car yesterday, I haven't had the time or opportunity to use it again. I'm sure I haven't charged it yet because it has to still be in the purse I took with me to that event yesterday. I forgot to plug it in yesterday. That's not correct. I was too distracted to r
__ROSE'S POV____Neither I nor Jo heard when Nate came down. He is barefoot, which can be the reason why we didn't hear him. Not that he exactly came down, but he was already on the last steps of the staircase. I wonder how much he has heard.He moved down completely and walked over to where we were seated. He took a seat opposite us and waited for an answer. When none was forthcoming, he asked again."What don't I need to know about?" He leaned forward in that intimidating way of his, prepared to intimidate us into answering his question."It's nothing. We were just talking." I replied to him and gave Jo a look that said "speak and I'll annihilate you right here." She gulped and faced away from me.
__ROSE'S POV___I took one look at her crying face which was beginning to swell up and I hugged her to me. It's not her fault anyway. If that message hadn't been sent, all of these wouldn't be happening. I'd have just been fawning over the fact that I now have several thousand followers and a very high amount of likes and comments. Curse that person to ruin my good mood."It's not your fault. I assure you that I'd have done the same thing if it had been me. I know you couldn't resist his charms, he gets like this when he wants something. You don't have to beat yourself up about it.What is done is done already, there's nothing we can do to change that. Now, clean your tears and lend me your phone. I need to make a few phone calls and then we'll head to the hospital. I'm sure the boys will be down soon."
___NATE'S POV____I knew when Rose left the room. I wasn't that deeply asleep but I didn't say anything to her because she must have something she wants to go do for her to leave. I stayed in bed for a few more minutes before picking up my phone to see if I had any stuff to do. Normally, I'd go to do it in my study where I had access to my computer but since my phone is nearest and I'm too lazy to stand up from the bed, I decided to use it.The amount of notifications that came in as soon as I switched on my data is unusual. As a pretty popular person in both worlds with a social media account, even if I use it professionally, I'm used to having a lot of notification everyday, but this is unusual. It's almost like it doesn't want to stop and my phone kept pinging.After a while, it calmed d
__ROSE'S POV____"Wait, you mean to tell me that the person who sent that message to me was Jessica? The same Jessica from your pack, Nate?" I know they've told me this several times but I still can't believe it. I know she hates me and I obviously hate her too but I didn't know it's bad to the extent that she wants me dead? Why? What for? I didn't do anything to her and I'm not planning to so what's the reason for her trying to kill me or at least sending me death threats."Yes, it's the same Jessica." Nate confirms. Ever since they knocked on the door and announced that they found who it was, he has been angry. Even more angry than he was when he found that I was keeping the fact that someone sent me death threats from him.I looked at each of them again, maybe they're joking or something
_ROSE'S POV___I really didn't want to do that. I don't like becoming extremely violent with someone but the way she was talking to me made me very annoyed. She was the one who is planning to kill me and now she's telling me fuck you? This bitch has a whole lot of nerve."Will you talk now? Or you need me to redo that stupid plastic you had fixed to your face to give you the slightest semblance to a sane being? I don't mind giving you a new plastic surgery even if this one won't be for the best." I'm surprised that I said this to her calmly, in opposition to the anger boiling in me.I hadn't planned on doing anything here today. Infact, I had planned to watch the guys and then plead with them before asking them to leave her alone. And then we'll go back home and let her off with a war
__ROSE'S POV___Which means as long as we leave her alive, they'll get together and plan on how to kill me, again. Even though they haven't made an attempt yet, they know they can't go through with whatever plan they had previously because we'll now be on our guard more than before. That will cause a change in their plans so they have to regroup and replan."Don't mind her. She's not serious about it. She's just trying to bait us so we can untie her. Don't think about it. Just let's leave this place. It's giving me the heebie-jeebies already." Jo said when she saw that I've stopped in my tracks a tad too long and was probably reconsidering whether or not to go back to her.Jessica doesn't seem like the kind of person to tell the truth so she could be lying to us about telling us the r
___ROSE'S POV____When she stopped talking, we were all reeling from her words. I didn't realize that Nate's mother herself had a hand in this. With what Jessica has said, she is the actual mastermind of all of this and Jessica and the other person are just pawns in her game. I've figured out why she insisted on having Jessica succeed her as the next Luna: she needs someone she can continue to control, thereby continuing to oversee the affairs of the pack. I don't understand why she wants so much power when she has it already. She can do whatever it is she wants even without being the Luna or controlling the Luna.I'm sure if I had been submissive to her the first time we met, she would have wanted me to be the Luna and backed me up instead of Jessica. My refusal to conform to her standards and kiss up to her made her hate me, thereby cancelling me as a candidate to become the next Luna in her place."Wait. You mean my mother is the one who put you up to this? And what for? She doesn'
