Chapter 104 - Evolution
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
“Because once the Phoenix Soul Wolf and the Dragon Bone Wolf find me, they will be unable to control their beastly nature and want to eat me. My blood can activate the energy within their bodies. I am the key. This is my true mission, my fate.”
“You mean that Rose and her wolf will only be able to discover and master all their abilities after Charlotte, the Phoenix Soul Wolf, has consumed you?” asked I.
“You could say that.”
“Which idiot gave you such a mission? I will never let Charlotte eat you. I will never kill any of my friends!” Rose was not willing to accept such words from Alonso.
I saw a hint of softness in Alonso’s eyes. Did he just look kind? But this softness and kindness disappeared in an instant. He fell silent and simply pointed at the sky. Rose’s arrogance subsided but she still muttered to herself.
“You may have a foul mouth and temper, but those don’t warrant being eaten by me. I don’t want to and won’t kill you.”
“Tell me about the Dragon Bone Wolf. Didn’t you just say that since the Phoenix Soul Wolf has appeared, the Dragon Bone Wolf shouldn’t be too far away?”
I interrupted their conversation because I was curious about this pairing of the dragon and phoenix. I knew that in some cultures, these two mythical creatures were significant figures.
“Yes, Alpha. As long as either one of them appears, the other will too soon. That was what I was told.”
“What’s the relationship between them?” This was what I was most concerned about.
“I don’t know. Whatever I told you is all I know. Even I have limited knowledge. But I was also told that your relationship with Luna must not be broken. So the Dragon Bone Wolf should not be a threat to you. Whoever the Dragon Bone Wolf is, he will most likely have a simple platonic relationship with Luna.”
Ugh, Alonso had indirectly revealed what I had been so concerned about. Now I looked narrow-minded and insecure. I quickly changed the topic.
“So, will Rose join forces with that person to fight against Nicholas? How can you be sure that the Dragon Bone Wolf is a good person? I mean, in many legends, dragons are usually depicted s evil.”

“I don’t know if Luna and him will join forces. I’ll have Clyde inform all Werewolves of Chaos within range to see if any of them have news or sightings of the Dragon Bone Wolf. Whoever this person is, he should have the skeleton of a giant dragon on his body. Whether he’s a good person or not is up to him. This also means that Luna will still have to strengthen her abilities in the meantime, just in case.”
“So their names do mean something. And you said that you are the key to activating the Phoenix Soul Wolf and the Dragonbone Wolf?”
“Yes, the Phoenix Soul Wolf and its master both possess the gift of rebirth. Meanwhile, the Dragon Bone Wolf and its master both possess the bones and thus power of a giant dragon. Only my physical body can stimulate their potential.”
“This idea is too sick.” Rose was still muttering to herself. But I completely understand how she must have been feeling. It would be akin to someone telling me to kill my Chief Guard, Dylan, just to obtain more stamina and power. I could never do that.
“Though we must sometimes make sacrifices for the greater good, there are times when compromises and alternatives could be made to get the best of both worlds. But since we haven’t gotten to the stage where you’ll have to eat me yet, let’s focus on your training and worry about having to deal with all of these later. I do hope that you won’t eat me just because you hate me.”
“Charlotte is not such a wolf!” Rose retorted. “That’s all for today’s training then,” said Alonso. We said goodbye to Susanna before she simply disappeared and the three of us walked back to the castle together.
“Alonso, what’s your relationship with Susanna?” asked Rose as we approached the castle.
“We’re lovers.”
“I thought she was your mate.” “I wish she was my mate, but that’s not fair to her.”

“Why? You keep having sex with a woman, but you don’t give her a title? That would be unfair to her!”
Alonso just smiled foolishly and didn’t say anything else.
When Rose and I returned to the room, Rose was still complaining to me.
“I think that being a lover is just an excuse. This is how men behave when they don’t want to be responsible!”
“You’re right, Babe, but maybe Alonso has his own issues to deal with.”

“What could a young boy that makes love to an older woman be going through? I’m not saying that this is completely unacceptable, but they are just wasting each others’ time.”
“Just like Patrick’s brother and his elven lover.”
“Noah once said that if he met his destined mate, he would break off his relationship with Eve, but he would still raise the child. I think Alonso might have the same mentality. Before meeting his destined mate, women are meant to be played with.”
Rose continued to nag, but I did not explain further. I knew that a woman must not be provoked when she was angry. Otherwise, she would only turn the blame on me.
