Rose's POVMy mind raced, desperately seeking an escape plan as I prayed for a miracle.I couldn't let them discover my true identity, couldn't let them ruin the fragile peace that I just found. I had to think quickly, to find a way to divert their attention.As I was thinking, the voices of the people grew louder by the minute until someone finally spoke up, "There is a lady, her name is Rose. Although she doesn't fit your description.""What do you mean she doesn't fit my description?" Luke asked."Well for starters, she is carrying a high-risk pregnancy. She doesn't smell or look like someone with Alpha blood. And the whole time during the festival, she wasn't feeling too well due to the road sickness. She doesn't fit in the description of the Moon girl you're looking for," the woman said and I sighed. "Thank you, Linda. If not for you and your wisdom, they must have recognized me as someone with Alpha blood," I said to myself."Where is she? The Rose girl,” Luke asked and they al
Rose's POVAs the bus lurched forward, I gripped the edge of my seat, my heart pounding in my chest. The engine roared to life, and the tires screeched against the pavement as the bus accelerated, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The wind whipped through the open windows, carrying with it a sense of urgency and freedom.I glanced out the window, watching my former pack's grounds fade into the distance. "Bye, Moon family."The trees blurred together, their branches reaching out like fleeting memories. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the landscape. It was as if nature itself was holding its breath, waiting to see what fate had in store for us.Finn, after moments of standing, sat beside Linda, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. The muscles in his jaw clenched, and his grip on the seat tightened.

Rose's POV Linda and I found a quiet spot away from the bustling crowd and settled down on a comfortable bench. The cool evening breeze swept through the trees, adding a touch of serenity to the lively atmosphere."Hmm. It feels so good to be back," I said, smiling, watching the people have fun."I know right... There's nowhere like home." Linda replied.Linda and I dug into our plates, savoring the flavors of the dishes. As I took my first bite, a burst of spices danced on my tongue, a perfect blend of heat and subtle sweetness. It was as if the food carried the essence of the collective strength and resilience of our community.Linda watched me with a smile. "You seem to be enjoying that."I nodded, a contented smile spreading across my face. "Yeah, I am. But then it's not just the food, Linda. This meal represents our triumph, our unity.

With a tender smile, I whispered a silent prayer for the well-being of my unborn child.The fatigue that had settled over me became more pronounced, and my body urged me to surrender to sleep. I closed my eyes, allowing the serenity of the moment to embrace me fully. My breathing slowed, and my mind drifted into a peaceful slumber.The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, gently coaxing me awake. I stretched my limbs, feeling the pleasant ache of a restful night's sleep. The worries of yesterday were replaced with a renewed sense of determination and hope.Rising from the bed, I shed the clothes that had kept me warm during the night and made my way to the bathroom.

Rose's POVWe arrived at the café, the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. Finn held the door open for me, and we entered the cozy establishment. The place was adorned with warm hues and soft lighting, creating an atmosphere that invited relaxation and conversation.We settled at a corner table near a large window, offering a view of the bustling street outside. A friendly waitress approached us, ready to take our orders. I opted for a cappuccino, while Finn chose a black coffee.As we waited for our drinks, I couldn't help but replay Linda's words in my mind. There was something off about her reaction to Finn. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that perhaps Linda and Finn's relationship wasn't as perfect as it seemed. I wanted to find out the truth, not only for my own peace of mind but also for Linda's sake."So, Finn, how did you and Linda meet?" I asked, attempting to steer the conversation toward their relationship.Finn's face lit up with a smile
Rose's POVMy mind raced, trying to piece together the fragments of conversation I had overheard. Linda's involvement in something secretive was becoming more apparent, and now it seemed that I was somehow involved as well. My curiosity quickly transformed into concern and a touch of fear.I felt a knot tighten in my stomach as my mind raced with questions. Linda had always been a close friend, but her recent behavior had been mysterious and unsettling. Why the lies? What could she be planning? And why did it involve me?Linda continued her conversation, oblivious to my presence nearby. "I won't let Rose get in the way of our plan. She can't know what we're up to."My hands trembled slightly as I clutched onto my food order slip. What was this plan she was talking about? And why was she so determined to keep it hidden from me?I debated with myself whether to confront Linda or not. The confrontation was never my strong suit, and the thought of a confrontation with a close friend made
Rose's POVThe door to Linda's room creaked open, revealing a room that appeared ordinary at first glance. Linda's personal belongings were neatly arranged, photographs capturing happy memories adorned the walls, and a faint scent of her favorite perfume lingered in the air. But beneath the surface, something felt amiss.I cautiously stepped inside, my eyes scanning the room for any clue that could unravel the mystery. A stack of papers on the desk caught my attention. I approached it, my heart pounding in my chest.As I sifted through the papers, my eyes widened in shock. They were filled with coded messages, names, maps, and sketches of a place I couldn't recognize. Whatever Linda was involved in, it was far more complex than I could have imagined.Just as I was about to delve deeper into the papers, a sudden noise startled me. The sound of footsteps approaching the room grew louder, sending a jolt of panic through my veins. I quickly closed the drawer and retreated to a hiding spo
Rose's POVI blinked in confusion, my tear-stained face turning pale. "Wh- what? But you… you look just like him," I stammered, my voice trembling.The man sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. His eyes held a mix of frustration and annoyance. "I get it. As a rogue you need money and your tactics are getting old. It's this the new trick to get money right?" He asked, feeling disgusted as he clearly misunderstood me."No, please. That's not it. What do you mean by tactics? I'm not begging for money. It's me, Rose, last time we met, you called me Hazel- like the color of my eyes. Don't you remember? You have to, you have to be Hottie, the voice, the facial features, you…""Enough! Take," he said and handed me a wad of cash. "Do not bother me again and stop this new tactic of yours, it's not working."I shook my head, my mind reeling with confusion. "No, I swear, I'm not trying to trick you or beg for money. I genuinely thought you were Hottie because of the uncanny resemblanc
