[Rose’s perspective.]
Jane showed me around the castle. She had medium-length, caramel-colored hair and a pair of tiny dimples. She was a feast for the eyes, but I soon found myself stunned by the tour. I could not imagine a building like this to have conference rooms, recreation centers, restaurants, libraries, kitchens, gyms, laundries, underground wine cellars, and dozens of other kinds of facilities. There was even an art gallery filled with sculptures and famous paintings, and this was just where the members of Sunset Tribe usually lived.
“Jane, have you ever lost your way around here?” When we passed through the art gallery, I finally couldn’t hold back my question.
“Well, I did lose my way when I was a child. When my father found me, I was crying behind this statue, complaining about why this place is so complicated.” Jane made a helpless expression and I laughed.
“Luna, you’ll get used to this place. Now, do you want to go outside to see the pool and the scenery?”
I nodded. Although I was already a little tired, I didn’t want to be a killjoy.
When we left the castle and stepped foot outside, a doll-faced woman met us. She wore a maid’s uniform and was tall.
“Gamma, good evening.”
“Christie, say hello to your Luna.”
“Ah.. Good evening, Luna!”
Although this woman named Christie immediately greeted me, I could still detect a trace of shock and reluctance in her expression.
“Jane, who is she?” asked I a few meters after we had walked past the woman.

“She’s the housekeeping maid for the ranked members. She’s an orphan that Alpha Leon picked up just beyond our borders.”

When I heard that Christie was an orphan, some sympathy welled up in my heart. But then, my stomach made an untimely gurgling sound.
“Luna, haven’t you had dinner yet?”
“Erm, no.. Please, Jane. Just call me Rose.”
“Oh, Rose, this is my fault. Let me take you to the kitchen. Madam Daisy should still be there. Her supper is really superb.”
I followed Jane to the kitchen of the castle. An old lady and a few other servants were busy in the kitchen. Although she didn’t look too old, she had a full head of short silver-white hair.
“Good evening, Gamma. And who may this lovely lady be?”
“Madam Daisy, she is Alpha’s companion, our Luna, Rose.”
“Oh, we finally have Luna! Ladies, you’ve come at the right time. Come try the new recipe of Daisy’s Tiramisu.”
We happily sat down beside the counter and Madam Daisy served us her strawberry-flavored Tiramisu, some grilled sausage bacon, and hot cocoa. Although Jane complained that the midnight snack was too high in calories, she was just as happy as I was.
We were soon chased out of the kitchen by Madam Daisy because I tried to wash the dishes after dinner and both she and Jane sternly stopped me.
Jane’s cell phone rang and she immediately picked it up. After she had hung up, she had to go deal with something. She told me that Edward’s room was on the last room on the right of the fifth floor of the castle and asked if I could go by myself and I told her it was no problem.
By the time I had climbed up to the fifth floor, I was tired and sleepy. I walked towards Edward’s room at the end of the corridor and saw a woman coming out of his room. She was tidying up her clothes as she walked.
Although it was a little presumptuous of me especially when I was still new, I stopped her as she was about to walk past me.
“May I ask who you are?”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Rose.”
“Rose? You’re new here, right? Looking for Alpha? Don’t even think about it. As the future Luna of Sunset Tribe, I advise you not to disturb Alpha after he has just had wonderful sex! Otherwise, you’ll end up very miserable.” And with that, she walked off with her head held high.
I felt a little speechless. This was the second woman after Sarah who claimed to be the future Luna of Sunset Tribe. And it sounded like Edward had just had sex with her.
When I was at New Moon Tribe, I’d heard other people say that every werewolf had a destined mate, but most people only get one chance at finding theirs, very few get a second.
And now, I’d run out of both. It turned out that Edward was my second playboy after Alex. Even though he had sex with other women on the first day he brought me back, I couldn’t bear to hate him. I just felt sad. It was my own bad luck after all. My wolf Charlotte was also feeling sad. Maybe she would never see the light of day again.
At the thought of this, a tear fell out of my eye but I quickly wiped it away. I didn’t want to appear weak. So I decided to ask Edward. If he had someone else in mind, I might as well just leave..
