The Abused Luna’s Comeback

212 Alonso’s Worries

[Alonso’s P.O.V.]

When Susanna and I returned to the house in the southern part of the group, we didn’t talk much.

To be honest, I was afraid of what was about to happen. This had never happened when I was facing Cain. I had a faint premonition that this matter was far more complicated than we had expected.

“Susanna, I think I should do something about this.”

“What do you mean? Didn’t you say that you weren’t allowed to interfere?” She walked to me.

“I can’t, but I don’t want to just stand on the sidelines. If Nicholas makes a move on Rose…”

“That’s impossible. That b*stard can’t identify a Werewolf of Chaos who hasn’t used their abilities. Rose just needs to sit tight until he gets to Emily.”

“But what if? Rose is my last descendant. Felix is a boy and can’t pass on the bloodline unless Rose gives birth to another girl.”

“I don’t know what you mean by that,” said she to me. “My dear, you’ve trained Rose well. She also knows the entire plan and is willing to follow it. That’s the best way to protect her and her son. Besides, you said it yourself. You believe that she’s immortal like you so-”

“I don’t think so anymore.” I interrupted her.

“What?”

“I don’t think she’s immortal.”

“Why do you think so?” asked Susanna to me.

“I don’t know. It’s just my intuition. Or should I say, sixth sense?”

“Baby, a woman’s sixth sense is usually more accurate than a man’s. Rose will be fine. Things will go according to plan.”

“I think I should talk to her. I feel that she has hidden some of her thoughts from me.”

“Alright, but I want to remind you that I know you care very much about Rose and that she is your descendant. But she has the right to her secrets and thoughts. And perhaps you need to respect these things.”

I nodded. Susanna kissed my face and I went out the door, heading back towards the castle.

When I knocked on Mona’s door, she was a little surprised by my arrival.

“Uncle, why are you here again? What’s the matter?”

“Isn’t Alpha here?” asked I.

“He’s gone to make sure the pack is ready. Is there anything you need from him?”

“I’m here to see you. But there’s nothing special. I just want to talk to you. After all, we rarely speak to each other face-to-face.”

“I thought we’d meet at practice later.” She smiled at me, then walked over to the crib and continued to help her son burp. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Rose.” I looked at her. “Are you hiding something from me?”

She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she put Phil in the crib and gently coaxed him to sleep. Once the little prince had fallen asleep, she sat down on the sofa in the room and motioned for me to join her.

“I hate that you’re also a Werewolf of Chaos because it means that way you’ll know that I’ve put up a wall against you.” She smiled again, looking peaceful, magnanimous, and fearless. I rarely saw such a smile on her face.

When our conversation was over, I stood up and hugged her.

“Alonso, this is the first time you’ve been so kind to me,” said she with a smile.

“I apologize for being so hard on you in the past, Rose.”

“What are you talking about! If a grandfather dotes on his granddaughter, it will only spoil her. The truth is, I appreciate your presence, Alonso,” said she.

“Who’s a grandfather? All I know is that I am a handsome, talented, and beautiful uncle.”

“I am just making an analogy.” My descendant mocked me. But then she asked a question.

“To be honest, I have not thought about what identity I will continue to live in when this is over. Should I continue as Rose or Mona? I’ve discussed this with Edward and he said that no matter which I choose, he would support me. I’d like to hear your opinion.”

“This question stumps me, Child.”

“Is that so? I thought you would be able to give me some advice because you weren’t Alonso when you were born. You’ve changed at least a hundred identities over the years, but your soul is still the original you.”

“Our situation is different,” said I to her. “Have you asked Charlotte’s opinion?”

“She already knows that I’m struggling with this matter, and her appearance has also undergone a huge change. She’s no longer the same color as before – she now has the appearance of a bloody rose. Her eyes are now beautiful silver, which makes her look very magical.”

“It is indeed very magical,” said I. “Under normal circumstances, the wolf’s original form will not change at all. For example, my wolf didn’t, but you’re the unique Phoenix Soul Wolf. Your essence is stronger than mine.”

“So what’s your suggestion?”

“I don’t think I have any. This is a decision between you and Alpha. If he has already told you that, then he will love you regardless of whichever identity you choose. I think you need to carefully consider which identity will give you more life force and emotional space. What kind of self do you look forward to becoming?”

“It sounds a bit profound, but I will think about it. Thank you, Alonso.”

Before I left the house, I hugged Rose again, or Mona. I didn’t know if our conversation had made me sentimental, but I had even started to feel a little afraid that the last question she asked me would ultimately be an invalid question.

Moon goddess, please bless us so that everything will go smoothly.
