[Edward’s perspective.]

The next day.

I woke up next to Rose, my mate. She was still sound asleep as her long and curly eyelashes quivered with each small breath she took.

I got up carefully so as not to wake her. Then I went to my study, pulled out the drawer, and took out the box.

I wasn’t supposed to take it out next to my mate, but Rose’s words last night surprised me. I thought she didn’t care about my past, but I could tell when she mentioned Emily that there was a hint of jealousy, especially when she asked me if she was just a slave I’d saved, not a lover.

I’d never really favored any of the one-night stands I had. And if anyone could stop my feelings for Rose, it was the owner of the box.

Although I was a firm believer in the whole concept of a mate, and I should love Rose deeply, I was overwhelmed by the growing sense of attachment to the owner of the hairpin. Yet I didn’t know what the problem was.

I opened the box and found the pink hairpin inside. It was very small and had traces of time. I held it in my hand as I looked at it. Many years ago, a cute girl gave it to me. At that time, I thought that we would be destined to be mates. However, all of this ended with the massacre of Southern Wilderness Tribe.

I was conflicted about whether I should seal this box, but also about how I felt about the owner of the hairclip. After all, I had already met Rose, another beautiful, brave, and independent girl.

I tried to put myself in her shoes. No one wanted their mate to always have another person in their heart. If I was still hesitant, it would be unfair to Rose.

I thought for a while and finally decided to let it go. But this didn’t mean that I wouldn’t investigate the strange massacre and try my best to avenge the owner of the hairpin.

I must have been so immersed in my thoughts because I didn’t notice when Rose suddenly appeared in my study.

“Edward, what are you looking at?”

“Oh, nothing, it’s an old thing.” I tried to stay calm, but in fact, I was shocked.

“Can I take a look at it?”

D*mn it, I shouldn’t have opened this box so early in the morning because it was obviously a girl’s thing, and I was holding it so carefully in my hands too.

I couldn’t find a suitable reason to reject Rose’s request, so I could only pass her the hairpin. But she didn’t catch it properly and the hairpin fell to the ground. The glass ball on it shattered into small pieces.

“Oh my God!” Rose exclaimed.

I couldn’t even tell if she did it on purpose, but for a moment I felt a little annoyed. Although I had already decided to put it away, she had better not have acted like this out of her jealousy.

But I quickly controlled my emotions. I wasn’t going to blame her because this was just an old hairpin to anyone. I could only blame myself for taking out this box so early in the morning.

Just as I was about to bend down to pick up the broken hairpin, Rose’s behavior surprised me. She knelt down at lightning speed and held the broken hairpin in her hands. She looked at it and touched it carefully. I noticed that her hands were trembling and she seemed to be very surprised by this little thing. Her pupils even widened in surprise.

“Rose?”

“Alpha, where did you get this hairpin?”

“Uh… from a girl.”

“Can you tell me about it? Please!”

Was this one of those trick questions girls liked to ask their partners? I’d rather talk about my one-night stands. Although I was a little reluctant, Rose was my mate and she had the right to know about my first mate.

“Darling, I hope that before you listen to me, you can promise me that you will not fly into a rage because of what had happened in the past.”

“Yes, I promise.”

“The previous owner of this hairpin was the daughter of Southern Wilderness Tribe’s deceased Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy, Rory.”

When I said this, I noticed that Rose’s eyes were turning red. Perhaps it was because I mentioned Southern Wilderness Tribe which reminded her of a sad history.

“Edward, is the owner of this hairpin important to you?”

I could hear the tremble in Rose’s voice. Although I knew that what I was about to say would make her feel uncomfortable, I still decided to speak honestly.

“She meant a lot to me, and if she hadn’t been wiped out, I think I would have treated her like the love of my life..”
