Rose's POVI looked over at the twins, making sure they weren't awake. After that, I carefully stood up from the bed and walked out.I followed Adriel as he walked out of the room and down the corridor. My heart raced with worry as I caught up to him in his office."Adriel, what's going on? Please talk to me," I pleaded, gently placing my hand on his arm as he stood by the window, staring out into the night. His chest rose and fell slowly like he was calming himself."Adriel?" I called again and he turned to face me with a smile."Yes my love," he said with a smile. "Sorry for scaring you." He answered with a peck to my forehead."What happened?""I remembered something and I had to rush in to check if it was done or not. It was very important. Sorry for startling you," he explained."Hmm," I moaned in understanding. "It happens… just don't scare me like that next time, okay?" I warned him.He chuckled, "Yes, my Luna, I won't.""So everything is alright? Is there something you need?"
Rose's POV"Honeymoon?" I asked, excitedly. "I thought we wouldn't be able to go.""I pulled some strings for you, my love," he said looking at me lovingly."What of the twins?" I asked, worried for my kids."They are also sorted. They will be with us but not with us. It's like a children's vacation for them too. Nothing will happen to them, relax." Excitement and joy bubbled up within me. The thought of spending a romantic getaway alone with Adriel, away from the responsibilities and duties that came with our roles, and the children was incredibly appealing. I looked into his eyes, my heart pounding, and I smiled warmly."Yes, Adriel. I'd love to go on a honeymoon vacation with you," I replied, my voice tinged with anticipation.Adriel's smile widened, his eyes sparkling. "Wonderful!" he exclaimed, his enthusiasm matching mine. "I've arranged everything. We'll be leaving tonight for a secluded island I discovered. I have a feeling you'll love it."As the words sank in, my excitemen
Rose's POVAlthough he didn't respond, I got my answer from his moans so I went further to pleasure my husband, making sure our wedding night was spent in pure ecstasy.The next few days were spent in each other's arms whether we were indoors or outdoors as we weren't confined to the island alone. The jet flew us to different locations, and in every aspect, I had the best time of my life with Adriel but it had to end. With a happy-sad face, I bid goodbye to the island and the alone time with my husband, then we flew back home after picking up the kids from the vacation spot.As we arrived back home, Adriel and I were greeted with a warm and enthusiastic welcome from our pack members. The moment we stepped out of the car, the air was filled with excitement and joy. The pack had gathered at the entrance, eager to see their Alpha and Luna after our honeymoon.I could feel the genuine happiness radiating from everyone around us. They decorated the packhouse with flowers and banners, crea
Rose's POVAdriel took a deep breath, his expression a mix of emotions. "Rose, Luna Zora is... my stepmother."I blinked, taken aback by his revelation. "Your stepmother? Alpha Nathaniel's wife?"Adriel nodded. "Yes, she raised me as her own. She cared for me, taught me, and loved me just like she would her own children. She played a significant role in my upbringing.""But why haven't you mentioned her before?" I asked, trying to piece together this new information.Adriel sighed, his gaze fixed on the floor. "It's complicated, Rose. There were... disagreements and conflicts within the pack. When I returned from that journey, Luna Zora and I grew apart. We had different visions for the pack's future, and our relationship became strained. Then the accident that killed the Alpha and hospitalized his wife."I could sense the weight of his words and the pain he carried. "And now that she's awake, what does that mean for us? Is it good or bad?"Adriel's expression softened as he reached o
Rose's POVAdriel looked hesitant, his brows furrowing as he considered the idea. "I've never really been open to talking about my past with anyone, Rose. But if you think it might help then..."I squeezed his hand reassuringly. "I truly believe it could make a difference. She's a therapist, Adriel, and she's helped so many people. Just think about it, okay? I won't force you if you don't want to."After a moment, he nodded slowly. "Alright. I'll give it a try. For us."A mixture of relief and hope washed over me. "Thank you, Adriel. You're incredibly strong for taking this step." I said with a peck to his cheek.The next morning, I woke up to the gentle rays of the sun filtering through the curtains. Adriel was already awake, sitting by the window with a contemplative expression. I could tell he was deep in thought about the upcoming call.I got out of bed and walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Hey," I said softly, "are you ready for this?"He turned to me, his eyes
Rose's POVAfter speaking to my friend, the therapist, it was decided that we would go on a mini trip to have a clue on what is going on with Adriel. Although we just came back from our honeymoon, traveling again would look suspicious, especially when we were hiding Adriel's condition from the world.Thinking of a proper excuse for the cabinet and subordinates kept me awake all night long. I stared at the ceiling, wondering what to say that would make it sound believable in their ears because the dreams were becoming more frequent. Before he'd have them once throughout the night, but now, they'd come multiple times, making him look over-stressed. It broke my heart to see him like this and I knew I had to do something to help my husband. I wouldn't be an idle wife. With a plan in mind, I gently removed myself from Adriel's arms, then walked to the table to open my laptop. I turned it on and with a few taps here and there, a proud smile appeared on my face. "Good Job, Rose Moon!" I mu
Rose's POVWith a deep breath, Adriel hugged me from behind then and pulled away, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Rose, you amaze me more with each passing day. Let's leave tomorrow morning then. I can't wait to put this behind me and start afresh."As the sun set that evening, Adriel and I continued to make our plans. The address he could remember was in two different locations. One in Moon River Pack and the other, in an abandoned rogue overthrown environment.The next morning after saying goodbye to our children and promising them we'll be back in less than a week. The sun had barely risen when we found ourselves at the airport, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of travelers. Adriel held my hand tightly, a mixture of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes. "Rose, I can't thank you enough for being by my side through all of this. Some would have insulted or left me…"I squeezed his hand reassuringly, offering a supportive smile. "We're a team, Adriel. We'll get through t
Rose's POV"No!" We yelled as the woman fainted in front of us, I felt fear and concern rush through me. Adriel and I exchanged a quick glance before I pulled out my phone, hastily dialing our driver's number."Hey, it's me… We need you to come down to the location we're at right now. That's number 13. There's an emergency, please hurry," I explained, my voice trembling with worry.Within seconds, our driver arrived, and together we carefully lifted the unconscious woman and placed her in the back seat of the car. Adriel sat beside her, cradling her head gently as I sat in the front, my heart racing with a mix of anxiety and curiosity. "Why did she faint all of a sudden? Could it be the shock from seeing Adriel? I just hoped she'll be fine," I said to myself, looking at the map for the nearest hospital.As we sped towards the nearest hospital, I couldn't shake off the strange encounter we just witnessed. Everything that happened gave me an eerie feeling that there was something more
