The Abused Luna's Comeback

Chapter 168: Coping

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

By the time my international flight landed, Patrick had already driven to the airport to pick me up.

“Alpha, I didn’t expect you to come back so soon. I thought you would stay there for a few more days.”

“Me neither, especially when Luna looked at me with those eyes. I almost couldn’t resist. But I had to. I have something important to do.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a long story, but it’s related to Rose giving birth in two weeks.”

“What? Didn’t Luna get pregnant only a few days before your car accident? It hasn’t even been five months yet.”

“Yes, but the fetus has already fully formed and is growing too big to fit in Rose’s womb. She’s still as petite as ever so she will need to have an induced labor ahead of time.”

“Good God, are all children of Werewolves of Chaos so strong? They even outcompeted normal werewolves in development. Still, this is something that should be congratulated. Wait, what do you mean by ‘the current Luna’?”

“She has a new appearance and identity. Her name is Mona now.”

“So Alonso’s lover really changed Luna’s appearance?”

“Yes, not only her, the three of them. D*mn it, I have to admit that Alonso is cunning but at least he’s still loyal to Rose as her ancestor.”

The moment Patrick dropped me off at the castle, I gathered the ranked members in my office and told them everything that had happened in the past two days. Otherwise, they would still be thinking that I had gone on a business trip the past two days.

When they heard that I had found Rose and that she was about to give birth, everyone was extremely excited. My mother even shed tears.

“My God, son, I feel like you were only a little boy days ago, but now I’m going to be a grandmother! Thank the moon goddess. But why didn’t you bring Rose back?”

“It would be safer for her and the baby if Rose gave birth further away from the pack. Rose now has the clairvoyance ability and she has foreseen Nicholas coming for her soon. In fact, he had been prowling around our pack right after my car accident, and that was the danger Alonso had sensed and forced him to disappear with Rose. Annabel was right.”

“Oh my God, are you saying that the d*mn vampire who was chasing Luna was already so close to us and that he soon come knocking on our door?” Jane was in disbelief.

“Yes, but in Rose’s vision, the baby was already born. This means that the vampire came looking for her after she gave birth. So, he might have closed in on Rose last time, but since Alonso had taken her away and had Susanna disguise them, the vampire must have lost track of her for now. If that b*stard finally comes to us, we can’t avoid a fierce battle with him.”

“I can’t wait to beat up this disgusting b*stard who only knows how to suck blood. I’ll start asking the pack’s best warriors to join the targeted training tomorrow. He has been hunting our people for a long time. He deserves to die ten thousand times,” said Patrick while gnashing his teeth.

“Set up more infrared cameras, power grids, and security personnel around the castle. Since those vampires only like to appear at night, they must not be very active in the day.”

“It is necessary for us to conduct several simulation exercises for the other Omega members, especially the elderly, women, and children. They need to know how to respond when they are in danger or in a war,” said my father.

“Thank you, everyone, for your support and proactiveness. But just know that the vampire will not be alone. It’s not a friendly visit, after all. He will most likely bring along some powerful colleagues. Which is why I have returned. I am here to take someone back with me.”

The rank members looked at me as I told them my true plans.

“I’ll have Dr. Baldwin go to Phuket in a week with all the equipment he needs to be delivered with my plane. Although Alonso took good care of Rose, I want someone I can completely trust and rely on with her too. Remember, all of this needs to be kept with the utmost confidentiality. When Dr. Baldwin and I aren’t around, the rest of the pack only needs to know that I am on another business trip while Dr. Baldwin has been assigned to lend his medical expertise in another pack.”

“I agree, son. Dr. Baldwin’s family has had excellent medical skills for generations, and he has always cared about Rose. We can count on him.”

“Can I go with you? Maybe I can help my daughter-in-law after she gives birth. It’s not easy to take care of a newborn baby,” said my mother.

“Mom, I need you here. Once Rose has given birth, I will bring her back with your grandchild as soon as possible. Then, you can spend all the time you want with them.”

“So you still don’t know the sex of the baby?”

“Yes, Rose wants to keep it as a surprise. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, the child will be the most precious gift the moon goddess has given us.”

I looked at everyone’s happy faces. I didn’t tell them about the problem with my child’s spine since it would only cause them to worry unnecessarily, especially my parents.

Despite being the boss of a pharmaceutical company, I was completely unskilled and uninformed in obstetrics and gynecology. So, I thought I should start learning the basics to better adapt to being a father. I would trust the rest of the profession to Dr. Baldwin.

As for what to do with Emily and her accomplices, I had my plans. I had a vague feeling that there was something else that was yet to be revealed. I needed to find the deeper truth behind what we had uncovered. But I might not be able to do it on my own.
