KNOWING HER ALPHA의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

___ROSE'S POV___ When I looked around, I couldn't find who had said my name. No one was looking in my direction or even waving to let me know that they were the ones who called me. I shrugged and assumed that someone with my name must have been called. Only God knows how many people named Rose are in this restaurant given how busy it is.  I placed my order and I was given a meal ticket that will enable me to collect my food after it's been prepared and brought to the server. We were directed to a nearby table that seats six. On my way there, I heard it again. Rose. This time, it is clearer and I can feel like it's me that's been called. I don't think anyone else can hear it except from me. I looked around again, but no one.  

___ROSE'S POV___  My shout causes Nate to look forward and we see a car coming straight for us. During our argument, he must have derailed from the lane we were supposed to be on the road. He quickly swerved, narrowly missing hitting the car and that could have resulted in an accident that could have been fatal since the car coming from us was one that was large too. We were both breathing heavily when it was over. Since it isn't good to drive with anxiety, he parked the car by the side of the road alongside a stretch of trees. My siblings must have either noticed we parked or they saw the near accident because they stopped and reversed to come and meet us where we were parked. They got out and we did too. All of them rushed to my side except Jaden who walked leisurely behind. 

___ROSE'S POV____ The "No!" came out a bit higher than I intended and the kids all looked up and faced me. I smile at them. "It's fine. I was just a little loud. Sorry". Several faces quizzed me in their own different ways to know if I was actually telling the truth about being fine or if they need to come and rescue me. Using my face, I assured them that I'm fine and they continued what they were doing. I can still see some of the look up in my direction on several occasions. I know one wrong seating or word and they'll all be here. They might be kids but they're strong and together, they can be very intimidating. I love my family.  "See what you've caused. Now the kids are highly suspicious of you. I'm sure several of them are now using their super hearing to listen to this conversation. O

__ROSE'S POV___ For the next two days, things were going smoothly both at home and in the hospital. No one was fighting anyone, except I and Nate whom I'm still not talking with. He's come to me twice more to ask me if I've reconsidered but I didn't reply him and always found a way to exit the conversation before he even starts sometimes. Jo and the boys have been on their best behavior and none of us have mentioned the previous incident except when I told the boys that Jo and I have sorted ourselves out and I explained the arrangements for the therapy sessions which they all agreed to. The hospital called to let us know that the removal of organs from the donors was successful and both of them are now recovering. Nate, true to his word, sent them the money and paid for all of their bills. He didn't accept my offer to pay part of the payment, stating that

___ROSE’S POV____ “Nate?” I called out, more like a question. He started, looking guilty like a kid that have been caught with his hands in the cookie jar, doing what he’s not supposed to do. He looks like he didn’t want to be caught dead here and least of all by me. He also looks like he didn’t get enough sleep but that has been his look for the past few days. I can see that he’s still in his nightwear which means that he hasn’t had his bath yet. He must have just woken up then. “Good afternoon, Rose” He greeted and cleared his throat, looking everywhere but me. I didn’t understand why he wasn’t looking at me directly in the eyes. His eyes drifted off to my body and back away. I looked down at myself and saw that my robe was
