ROSEANNE

Uncle Sam didn’t take me seriously at all. I could see how he kept laughing, as if my words were too amusing to be taken seriously.

Could he not see my frustration, or was he deliberately trying to provoke me?

I couldn't stand talking to him for too long. Every second in this basement made me more nauseous, and I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Answer me, Uncle Sam!" I snapped harshly, truly starting to lose control. "I need answers from you! Tell me who wanted me dead?!"

Uncle Sam laughed again, and I was certain my frustration had become his source of entertainment. But strangely, this time, his laughter sounded different. It no longer carried a mocking tone; instead, it was cold—laden with an underlying meaning.

I observed Uncle Sam more closely and noticed a shift in his demeanour. His eyes no longer seemed to mock me; instead, they were sharper, filled with meaning.

Why was he suddenly like this?

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   57. Roseanne's Suspicion

    ROSEANNEI decided to go to Moonveil the next day to meet Grandfather Andreas. My conversation with Uncle Sam kept replaying in my mind, making it impossible for me to sleep last night.I shouldn’t have given much thought to his warning—perhaps Uncle Sam was simply trying to mess with my head. It could be his new way of bringing me down. However, I couldn't just ignore it. For some reason, I felt there was a hidden message in his words.And so, here I was now, standing in front of the massive wooden doors of the Moonveil estate. My breath came out heavy, and my hands clenched tightly at my sides. I hesitated, even though I had lived here for years before.‘Even after staying here for so long, I’ve always felt like a stranger. I never once thought of the Moonveil house as my home,’ I murmured in my heart. ‘It always felt like I was just an outsider taking shelter in this house for years.’I remembered how Uncle Walter often said I didn’t belong here. Now, I felt like he was right. Perh

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   58. The Buried Hatred

    LAVINIAI kicked the small table beside the hotel bed hard, crashing the glass. Shattering glass echoed in the quiet room, making the room suddenly noisy.But I didn't care. I was too angry, too fed up with everything."Damn it! I hate this situation! This is all Roseanne's fault!" I groaned angrily, my jaw clenched, and my breath ragged from the overwhelming emotion.Grandpa kicked me out of the Moonveil residence. Even though it was only for a few days, I was still angry. And all of this happened because of one person—Roseanne. Always Roseanne. That woman was a real jinx in my life.She had taken everything that should have been mine, making me look like trash in Grandpa Andreas' eyes.“I hate her so much!” I gripped my own hair, feeling my entire body tremble with rage. I wanted to destroy something. I wanted to rip her face apart, to make her suffer just like I was suffering now.I wasn't alone in this room, there was still my mother—Eleanor, who also came to accompany me. She wou

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   59. A Serious Decision

    ANDREAS MOONVEILFor decades, I have protected Roseanne, and today is the first time I have seen her dare to press me like this.She has never defied me. Whatever I said, she would obey because Roseanne knew that in this house, I was the only one who truly cared for her. I raised and protected her until she became who she is today, and that was how Roseanne repaid my kindness.But today, she is different.I can see the seriousness in her eyes—something I cannot ignore. There is also ambition there, showing that she is determined to get the answer she wants.Roseanne will not back down until I give her that answer.But unfortunately, not all questions can be answered—sometimes, some things must remain hidden for my own benefit.I straighten my posture, staring at my granddaughter with sharp eyes. "Are you cornering me now, Anne?"Roseanne lets out a heavy sigh, looking frustrated. "No, Grandfather. It's not like that," she refutes firmly. "I just want to know the truth. I don’t want an

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   60. The Death of Sam Moonveil

    DAMIANEven though I already have a good relationship with Roseanne, I still can't read her mind. She keeps so many secrets and doesn’t share them with me, even though I want to help.I don’t like seeing Roseanne lost in thought without realizing it—I’ve caught her doing that multiple times. Whenever I ask, she always says she’s fine.And today, she’s doing it again.I had just returned to my room when I found Roseanne sitting on the large sofa, staring out the window in deep thought. She didn’t even notice my presence, too absorbed in whatever was running through her mind.I decided to approach her. Kiren had told me that Roseanne went to the Moonveil house today. I was certain her silence now was related to whatever happened there.Her body flinched slightly when I wrapped my arms around her from behind, encircling her waist while resting my chin on her shoulder."Hey, have you eaten?" I asked softly.Roseanne immediately relaxed upon realizing it was me holding her. Instead of pull

    ROSEANNE"That’s impossible," I muttered in disbelief at the news Tobias had just delivered. "You're joking, right?"My heart pounded violently, and a wave of nausea hit me upon hearing those words. My mind felt blank, unable to process anything. I was too shocked, too speechless even to know how to react.I felt Damian’s hand envelop mine, his warm fingers slipping between my own in an attempt to calm me. "Explain clearly what happened, Tobias," Damian said, his voice steadier than I had expected.But I knew he was just as surprised as I was. He was simply keeping his composure because I already looked panicked. He had to stay sane—for me and to ensure everything remained under control.Tobias exhaled heavily. "Blair brought food for Sam this morning. But when he arrived at the basement, Sam was already unconscious and was later pronounced dead. Blair himself checked his condition and confirmed that Sam had stopped breathing."Without realizing it, I held my breath. Losing my only ke

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   62. She, The One Who Looks Like Me

    ROSEANNEAfter escorting me to my room, Damian left to hold a meeting with Tobias and Kiren to discuss Sam's death. I was still shaken by the incident, feeling weak and unsure of what to do.Right now, only one name kept surfacing in my mind—someone who was most likely behind Uncle Sam’s death.I grabbed my phone and dialled Grandpa Andreas’s number as quickly as possible. My last conversation with him still lingered in my memory, and I remembered that Grandpa Andreas had indeed planned to kill Uncle Sam and take him to Moonveil.Was this his way of warning me for not letting him take Uncle Sam away?I let out a heavy sigh. The moment the call was answered, I attacked him with a single question. “Why did you kill Uncle Sam?”Grandpa Andreas didn’t respond immediately. There was a brief silence before he asked, “Sam is dead?”Good acting. I scoffed internally.“Don’t pretend, Grandpa. I know this was your doing,” I accused without hesitation. “You were the only one who wanted Uncle Sam

    ROSEANNEThis wasn’t the right time to be curious about anything else, let alone dig deeper into who Lyra was.And yet, I couldn't ignore the pounding of my heart or the strange feeling that consumed me as I read through those files. It was as if there was an inexplicable connection between me and the woman from Damian’s past.Not to mention the fact that earlier, the man named Tion had stared at me so intensely, as if he harboured a deep grudge against me—even though I had no recollection of ever knowing him.Didn’t all of this seem incredibly strange?I couldn’t just brush it off."I have to talk to Tion," I finally decided. It was the only way to get answers to my questions.I didn’t expect Tion to know anything about my accident. Still, perhaps he had other information—something about Lyra or why we looked so similar as children.Clutching Lyra’s file tightly in my hand, I carried it with me as I left my room and headed toward the underground dungeon, the same place I had left not

    ROSEANNE"You really know me?" I stared at Tion, torn between belief and doubt.A part of me still questioned what he said, but on the other hand, he looked so convincing—I couldn’t detect even the slightest hesitation in his words.The hatred in Tion’s gaze felt undeniably real. He wouldn’t be this serious if he were only trying to intimidate me. That’s why I had to find out and ask him directly."I know you very well, Luna Roseanne," Tion spoke again. "Even more than you can imagine.""Don’t be ridiculous, Tion. I always know the people around me, so there’s no way you claim to know me when I have no idea who you are. I don’t think we’ve ever met."Tion let out a low chuckle, but to my ears, it sounded eerie. "We don’t need to know each other to be aware of one another, Luna.""Then tell me, how do you know me? And why do you keep staring at me so sharply, filled with hatred? What problem do you have with me that makes you despise me this much?" Without wasting time, I fired my ques

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   78. Hidden Secrets

    ROSEANNEWhile I was lost in thought, contemplating a few things, a deep and heavy voice suddenly broke the silence of our quiet bedroom."Are you satisfied admiring your Alpha's handsome face?"My eyes widened in shock, my heart leaping into my throat, and I froze briefly. Damian let out a low chuckle, clearly aware of how my body tensed in his embrace. He must have realized that I was startled by him waking up so suddenly.Damian slowly opened his eyes, and in the next second, I was met with his dark gaze, fully awake and staring at me intensely. His eyes were still heavy with sleep, a signature look of someone who had just woken up, but there was also a glint of amusement in them, making me instinctively swallow my saliva in nervousness. Yet, the undeniable love I found within those dark irises made me even more flustered.A smirk tugged at the corner of Damian's lips, making me wish I could disappear on the spot.Damn it, since when had he woken up and realized I had been staring

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   77. Admiring the Alpha

    ROSEANNEThe morning light seeping through the cracks of the bedroom window pulled me from what felt like an all-too-short sleep. My eyelids felt heavy, my body stiff and aching in every inch of my skin. I let out a soft groan, realizing that I was still wrapped tightly in Damian’s embrace. Even in his sleep, he refused to let me go.I struggled to adjust my eyes to the light, trying to open them fully. “It must be morning already,” I murmured, noticing the faint glow filtering through the large curtains.I didn’t remember exactly when I had fallen asleep, but it must have been near dawn. Damian hadn’t allowed me to rest early—I had to keep up with him until his rut was over.Shifting my gaze, I looked at Damian’s face beside me. The warmth of his body enveloped my bare skin, making me reluctant to move. It was so comforting that I wanted to spend my entire day just like this, in his embrace.“Argh,” I groaned softly as a familiar ache set in.The moment I tried to shift slightly, pai

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   76. The Long, Hot Night

    DAMIANAbout fifteen minutes later, I caught a faint whiff of the vanilla pheromones I had longed for just as the front door finally opened. I lifted my head quickly, rising from the sofa when I realized Roseanne was home. Without a second thought, I strode toward the door, ready to welcome her as she stepped inside.As soon as the door opened, I saw Roseanne reaching to take off her coat, but I pulled her into my embrace before she could do anything. I didn’t give her a chance to react.I had been waiting too long, and now my patience was thinning.My hands gripped her waist tightly, my body instinctively seeking her warmth. My pheromones must have already filled the room because I felt Roseanne tense slightly before she let out a quiet sigh.“Damian,” she whispered, her voice soothing my heart's wild pounding.I didn’t answer. Instead, I lowered my head, pressing my lips against her neck, inhaling deeply the scent that made my thoughts blur. I was still angry that she had left witho

  • The Alpha's Mate: A Love Rewritten   75. Alpha Damian’s Rut Day

    DAMIANThe realization hit me like a massive blow, snapping me back to full awareness. Damn it, how could I forget that this week was my scheduled rut? I should never have overlooked such an important day and failed to make preparations. But now, instead of being where I should be, I was stuck at the Pack’s residence while Roseanne was far away from me.I needed Roseanne now. I needed my Luna."Alpha Damian, are you alright?" Tobias asked, looking slightly concerned as he observed me. He could probably sense my unease and was beginning to put the pieces together."Shit, Tobias, take me home now," I decided quickly. I had to return before my Alpha instincts took over and made everything even harder.Tobias initially looked slightly confused but understood within seconds, seeing my restless demeanor. "I thought the intensity of your pheromones was triggered by your anger earlier, so I didn’t think much of it. But it turns out… this is your rut, isn’t it, Alpha Damian?""Stop asking ques

    DAMIANI hate today so much.I should be at home right now.I should be by Roseanne’s side, making sure she’s safe and keeping an eye on every corner of the Fenrison house to find out who the damn spy still lurking around is. I must ensure that Roseanne is always safe with me and that nothing bad happens to her again.I should be doing that—fulfilling my duty as her Alpha by keeping Roseanne away from harm. My protective instincts are at their peak because of everything she’s been through. I can’t lose her, so I must do whatever it takes to keep her safe by my side.But that’s not what I’m doing right now. Instead, I’m far away from her, stuck in the Aeternum Pack’s residence—a place I have no interest in being—listening to the endless ramblings of the Elders, which make my ears ache. They won’t stop talking, repeating the same pointless things repeatedly. They keep attacking me even after I’ve answered and given my reasons. These people won’t stop until I either surrender or lose my

    ROSEANNEKiren looked hesitant to take me, and I knew why.“Luna Roseanne, but Alpha Damian asked me to make sure you stay home no matter what. He doesn’t allow me to take you anywhere for now,” Kiren said.I had expected him to say that, so I simply ignored his words and stood up from the sofa. “Didn’t I just ask you if you are still working as my personal Beta or if you’ve become one of Damian’s Betas now?”“Of course, I’m still your personal Beta, Luna Roseanne. Even though you’re married and have an Alpha, I must remain loyal to you,” Kiren instantly replied without a second thought. “I will listen to you more than Alpha Damian.”“Good, then get the car ready now and wait for me downstairs because we’re going to the White Dove Orphanage. I have to take advantage of the time while Damian isn’t home. If not now, I won’t get another chance to prove whether Lyra is my twin sister or not.”“What if someone asks me where I’m taking you? You know, Alpha Damian has given orders to all the

    ROSEANNEThe next day, Damian left early in the morning because he had important business in the pack that he couldn’t postpone. He instructed Kiren to watch over me as usual while Tobias had to accompany him.This morning, Damian seemed reluctant to leave me—considering that we were still searching for the spy within Fenrison, who was most likely responsible for Uncle Sam’s murder. He didn’t want me to be at home without his supervision. Damian had become very protective of me, not wanting me to end up in another dangerous situation.He even asked me to come with him. I could see how uneasy he was about leaving me behind, so he wanted me to go to Aeternum Pack and stay by his side.However, I understood why Damian was being so protective, especially after hearing his story about Lyra last night. Damian must have been afraid that I would meet the same fate as her.He didn’t want to lose me the way he lost Lyra.But I refused to go because Damian’s absence allowed me to sneak out and i

    ROSEANNE“Damian, I won’t ask about Lyra anymore,” I said softly as I hugged him.I felt Damian’s arms wrap around me, holding me tightly in return. Then, a small chuckle escaped him. “Why? If you still have questions about Lyra, I can still answer them, Anne.”Even though Damian spoke gently and seemed fine with this conversation, I didn’t want to continue talking about Lyra for now.I never expected Lyra’s story to be so heartbreaking, especially hearing it directly from Damian. He had no hesitation in telling me everything.Maybe Damian seemed fine now, but I was sure that deep down, he must feel a little sad whenever we talked about Lyra. Whether he wanted to or not, Damian had to recall his past with her, and those memories must bring back old wounds and the longing he still felt for her.Losing someone in such a tragic way leaves a scar on the heart. No matter how many years pass, the memories remain, etched forever.That’s why, in the end, I shook my head. This conversation abo

    ROSEANNEI had already heard the story about Lyra from Damian’s perspective. Unlike what I had expected, Damian’s story and Tion’s were quite different. I felt a bit confused because it seemed like Tion knew Lyra better than Damian did, even though Lyra was once Damian’s Luna.At this point, there were only two possibilities: either Tion was telling the truth or deliberately trying to mislead me with false information.But if Tion was correct, then Damian didn’t know much about Lyra despite having lived with her as his mate. However, why did Tion know so much about her?‘Was it because they came from the same orphanage, so Tion was close to Lyra?’ I started forming different possibilities in my head, trying to piece together the puzzle I couldn’t solve yet. ‘But Tion seemed to care about her a lot, and I could even feel his sadness when he talked about Lyra’s passing.’I shifted my gaze to look at Damian. My Alpha was also looking at me gently. There was a hint of longing in his eyes
