___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'
__ROSE'S POV____He looks extremely disoriented, like he was torn between believing if it's true or if Jessica was lying. I know how hard it must be to hear that your mom has a hand in trying to kill your wife even if she's not your real wife.I know he's trying to process it, and he hasn't really processed it completely. "I'm sorry," he said. This is the first time he looked like he'd be extremely remorseful about something he has done even though he didn't do anything. I'm not still entirely convinced that he doesn't have anything to do with this yet, but I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt."You're sorry? I don't need your apology, Nate and you know this. We need to address this. You can't tell me that because she's your mother, we're going to overlook the fact that she actu
___ROSE'S POV____The slap must have brought him back to his senses because he shook his head and when his thoughts cleared, he looked so ashamed of himself."I can't believe that you're thinking of sex at a time like this. And not only that you're trying to force yourself on me, you literally made it known that all you see me as in this house, is nothing but a whore to have at your beck and call. No wonder your mother wanted Jessica to be the Luna. You are really your mother's son. You both have tastes in whores." I said, extremely angry. I moved myself from the wall and went to the door. Just as I was about to open it, he spoke up."I'm really sorry, Rose. I'm sorry about what happened. I couldn't control myself or my wolf. I didn't mean anything I said. I'm sorry." Of course, he me
__NATE'S POV___I refused to believe what Jessica had said about my mother. Even though she can be callous and very wicked sometimes, I refuse to believe that she can actually have a hand in planning someone's death and not just anyone, the death of my own side. What kind of mother does that? I don't believe she can do that. My mother can't.I know she and Jessica are extremely close these days and I can't seem to figure out why but it looks like this is the reason. They want me to get married to her so mom can continue ruling as the Luna from behind the scene. Mom has been trying to force Jessica on me for a while now and while I don't exactly like Jessica, she's a good fuck so I let her stay. That's basically all she's good for anyway. It's not like she's extremely brilliant or very pretty, she's average on both and can pass off as below average w
ROSE'S POV____When I called Jessica a minion, she hissed at me like a cat and made for me but a look from Mary stopped her from coming for me. She looked at me like she was about to come scratch me to the point of killing me and I giggled inwardly at her annoyance. I wanted to put out my tongue but I know that will be extremely childish of me. And it wouldn't even make sense in this kind serious situation and I want this to be taken seriously, so I relaxed my face and tried to look as calm as possible.While my face is calm, I'm boiling on the inside and it's taking all of my willpower to stop myself from shifting. I know if I give Bessie the opportunity to come out and display her rage here, I'll be wanted for the murder of the Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the entire state."Leave
