Rose’s POV
A loud knock woke me up again. I swear, I'm going to kill Nate as soon as I have the chance. I didn't get to sleep until almost 2 am and now it's 7 am. I just need two more hours of sleep. Please, universe. Just two more. I dropped my head back to the bed, prepared to continue sleeping.
Nate must have known that I'd do just that because he started knocking again.
"I know you've heard me knocking, Rosy. And I know you woke up and you want to sleep back. I'll have you know that if you don't get up right now, I'll get the master key or break down this door, if needed, and I'll pick you up and dump you in a tub of extremely cold water." He threatens me. I know it's something he can do and so amidst grumbling and mumbling and silently cursing hi
ROSE’S POVIf there's a voice I'd never forget, and the exact tone, it's Jessica's voice when she talks to Nate. I know at this point that she's doing it to annoy the hell out of me, but coming to my house? Seriously? Doesn't this bitch have a job?"What do you want, Jessica?" Nate asks, also obviously annoyed by the Intruder we seem to have at home waiting for us.When we walked in, she was sitting on the couch, her legs crossed, which shows the silt of the gown she was putting on, which also means her legs and part of her thigh were exposed. She's putting on a full face of makeup, so she must be going somewhere. No one wears gowns and makeup just to come to report or deliver something.
Rose’s POVI think the excitement of the events that might unfold today made me wake up a lot earlier than I used to. Taking advantage of that extra time, I decided to go for a run, one which was cut short by the start of the rain, I should have checked the forecast before or even tried to use my senses to deduce, but I just want to run. I couldn't run in the rain though, I don't want to risk having a cold.I went back into the house and went to prepare the room that Helena will be staying in tonight. I want her to be as comfortable as I had been when I went to her place. It might not be all fun and laughter here with many people, but I could at least give her somewhere comfortable to sleep.When everyone else started to stir in their sleep to start
ROSE’S POVMary looked at me pointedly as she said this. I knew she was going to try something like this, but I paid her no heed."I'm sorry we're late. We had to do something before coming in" Nate says, apologizing for us both. I didn't have it in me to say anything here today, as long as I'm not spoken to directly, we should be fine.I looked around the room, almost the same people as the previous time, only fewer. This seems like an extremely close members meeting. It should be since they're making Nate the Alpha soon, and not every pack member will be invited to this meeting. I know that because I've overheard something like this before at my aunt's pack meeting. We, the kids, aren't allowed in the meeting, but we can't help but eavesdrop sometimes.&
___ROSE'S POV"Jessica" Ralph speaks up, for the first time since I've been here and he is met with several glares. They didn't want me to know, I knew it must be someone close to them. I already expected her to be the one given their history together. That explains the smug look she gave me when she came to deliver the message and when I came in today.I am livid that they decide to ask me for something like this, giving up my life for their son. That's an extremely selfish request.I wish I had brought my own vehicle because I really do not want to be in the same space with Nate anytime soon. The fact that he knows about it and went along with it makes me extremely angry. If he had told me about it, at least I'd have known what it was about and I'd know what to say. Mary was obvious
__NATE'S POV____When Jessica came to deliver the news to me I thought she was joking. She waited until Rose was gone before telling me about it. I knew her seductive ways were to make Rose jealous and she was lightly disappointed because she didn't answer her.When Rose left the room she came to me and told me what Dad asked her to come and tell me. "We're getting married and you're to be the Alpha which means I'll be your Luna. You'd better start looking for ways to break it to her. Also, there's a meeting tomorrow and it's mandatory that you attend".She tried to get me to kiss her but I wasn't feeling it. This isn't in my plans. Actually getting married to someone and becoming the alpha? That's a workload I'm not about to add to the present one I have. It's hard enough being the CEO and keepi
___ROSE'S POV____"Come and ride me" is probably the hottest thing I've ever been told. Seeing him pat his thighs for me to come sit on is extremely sexy and I could feel myself purring in response.Wolves don't purr, idiot. Or do we? Even Bessie is confused. She's slurring like she's drunk. Drunk with lust, she is.I walked towards Nate, extremely aroused. Even though I've had one orgasm, I was craving more. And I don't want it to be from his hands or tongue, I want to feel his dick inside of me. When I got to him, I wanted to impale myself on the dick awaiting me, but he pulled me back."Easy, tiger," He says and pulled me in for a kiss."
___ROSE'S POVMy statement seems to calm him down a bit and he reined in his anger. He doesn't get the right to be so possessive about me when I'm not even his. I can't even be his, I'm not an object. I know he didn't say anything but I feel objectified."I'm sorry. I didn't realize that's how it sounds. I didn't mean for it to look like I'm being possessive of you" and his face changed, he frowned, almost like he just comprehended my words "what do you mean by you're not mine. You're my wife".He's going to play this card? He knows better than to do that. " Only on paper. I don't even use your last name. Because we're faux married doesn't mean I'm yours. I'm my own person and you should know that by now. You know I won't conform to the societal rubbish of me being submissive to you because we're
___ROSE'S POV___I didn't believe my ears when Jo said this. No, not Aunt Mel. I saw her yesterday, didn't I? And she was fine. She's healthier, better than I've seen her in the last month, so Jo must be playing a prank on me."This isn't the time for jokes, Jo. I saw her yesterday and she was fine" I refused to think of the possibility that she might actually truly be in the hospital. I feel like once I think it, then it actually comes to a reality."I'm serious, Rose. She had a relapse and collapsed not long ago. Dad and James have taken her to the hospital. I'm home now with Jaden and John, waiting for news from them. So far, we haven't heard anything and we thought you should know" She was fully sobbing now. It's true, she's in the hospital. This can't be happening now. Not Aunt M
