Chapter 105 - Time
Three weeks later.
(Rose’s P.O.V.]
I had been training with Alonso every day. Eventually, I had been able to summon and control other elements besides hellfire. I had also been able to set up a simple barrier to defend myself against others’ attacks. My strength, endurance, and stamina had significantly increased. By now, telekinesis, mind reading, and telepathy had become second nature to me.

But I never let my guard down, going all out for every session for two main reasons: 1) Susanna had said that the increase in my abilities and power would mean that her magic barrier would become less and less effective in masking me from others – Nicholas must be getting closer and closer with each passing day; and 2) Since I ws adamant that I would never let Charlotte kill Alonso, I had to make sure that I had mastered my abilities to the furthest extent to compensate the potential ‘lack’ in power I would have if I allowed Charlotte to unlock her powers.
In addition to training, I had also began to familiarize myself with the affairs and laws of the pack because my main job was not only to be Edward’s mate, but also the pack’s Luna. But honestly, as much as I loved reading, seeing the condensed, complicated, and dry words of the rules and regulations always gave me a headache.
Today, I was in my office reviewing the contents of my previous memory when Edward pushed the door open and entered.
“Great job, Rose. Now, let me test how much you remember.”
“If this is what it means to be the Luna of a pack, I’m starting to wonder if I’ve overestimated how amazing it is to get into the world’s top universities.”
I ridiculed him but Edward only smiled and kissed my forehead.
“You can do it. You are a great wolf, so tell me, what is the job of the pack’s Luna, Beta, and Gamma?”
“Luna mainly assists Alpha in handling matters related to the pack, such as accompanying Alpha to receive guests and participate in activities. Beta and Gamma’s mates also help maintain order in the race.
“Beta and Gamma are Alpha’s deputies. Beta mainly deals with external matters, while Gamma mainly deals with internal matters. More specifically, Beta is responsible for the safety of Alpha and Luna; supervising and verifying the training of all the pack’s guards; as well as taking on the role of ensuring the safety of the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children of the pack when war broke out. Gamma handles more day-to-day matters, such as providing work for the members of the pack, mediating internal disputes, maintaining the order of the pack, and so on. Being Gamma also means assisting Alpha and Luna in handling all other matters of the pack.”
“That’s right. Next question, give me two examples where an Alpha needs to punish his members by death.”
“If a werewolf kills a member of the same or different pack without a valid reason, he will be executed. If it’s a malicious murder or a crime done using the power of other races, such as wizards, vampires, etc., he will be punished with the harshest method based on the situation, most likely by being subjected to silver, poison, or whipping.”

I paused, unable to imagine what that would be like. Then I continued.
“If he lies to Alpha or Luna about some major incident or issue, he will be exiled and no other packs are allowed to take him in. If the situation calls for it, the liar can also be sentenced to death. If someone colludes with the enemy, he will be executed for treason.”
“Very good, you even memorized an additional rule.”
“They are simple, just a little boring,” said I. Perhaps being a Werewolf of Chaos had enhanced my memory. Regardless, no matter how boring these materials were, I had to remember them well if I wanted to help Edward govern his pack as a wise leader.
At that moment, there was a notification on my phone. It was a message from Diana.
(Luna, Jane and I are going to the screening room in the basement. Would you like to come join us for a movie?]
My heart was itching to go. Ever since Diana had first come to the pack a few weeks ago,
with the pack and fitting in quickly. She’s a cheerful person after all so we quickly became as close as sisters. Patrick jokingly called the three of us a girl group because we would think about each other almost every time we wanted do anything fun. It might sound silly to others but I really enjoyed this friendship. In the past eight years, other than Charlotte, I never really had friends.
“Alpha, can I go to the screening room and watch a movie with the girls?”
“Go ahead, Sweetheart. Go relax.”
I stood on my tiptoes and kissed my Popeye before walking towards the screening room. But just as I was about to arrive, I suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I felt something well-up uncomfortably inside me and I quickly ran to the nearest restroom not far away.
