Chapter 6 Troubled Mind Cadens POV : Finished I admit that Ryans behavior and words made me feel like Rosalines relationship with him was definitely more than it appeared . It bothered me , and I couldnt shake it off . I watched her nonchalant expression and added , Just so you know , were still engaged , and Ryans a celebrity . You two better not let any rumors get out ; it wouldnt be good for the Holbrook familys reputation . Also , it wouldnt be easy for you to marry into the Lindsays . After all , youre two years older than Ryan , right ? Enough . Rosalines expression darkened as she interrupted me . So , she finally got what I was trying to say , huh ? This woman … How slow can she be ? My romantic relationship is none of your business , so stop commenting here and there , she snapped . That d * mn woman . Her words made my blood boil , and I ignored her until we got out of the car . Later that night , I had insomnia as usual . Ive had insomnia since I was 13 after I was kidnapped by a rival Pack and locked in a windowless room with no moonlight . But tonight , it was different . Rosaline kept appearing in my mind . She didnt deny having a relationship with Ryan did that mean she was admitting it ? I asked my wolf , Edward , Last night , I actually slept better than usual . How did you sleep ? Edward answered with a sigh , I miss the feeling of holding Rosaline while I sleep . I didnt have trouble sleeping when I held her . Is she my fated mate ? I asked . But I hate her . Edward mumbled , Once you become Alpha of the pack and my power grows in three months , we can know for sure . His words only made me feel more troubled . How could Rosaline have feelings for that kid , Ryan ? Was she blind ? Since I couldnt sleep , I got up and lit a cigarette . Then , I stared at the moon , keeping my eyes open until morning . Rosalines POV : The next few days were uneventful . The repetitive cycle of work , sleep , and eating made me miss the old days . Whether it was traveling the world or lounging at the Shadow Pack Manor , both felt freer than being stuck here . Soon , it was the Eclipse Groups anniversary celebration . In the evening , I was dragged by the Holbrooks to get my hair and makeup done , and I had to change into a formal gown to attend the event with Caden . 22:28 Thu , 13 Mar Chapter 6 Troubled Mind The party was extravagant , with many famous figures from Rivemons business circles in attendance . Finished Caden , as the CEO of Eclipse Group , was constantly busy greeting guests , leaving me standing by his side . Feeling bored out of my mind , I made an excuse to head to the bathroom and escape for a while , Just as I finished touching up my makeup and was about to leave , a woman called out to me . Are you Rosaline Sinclair ? I turned around to face her . She looked about my age , dressed in a Dior haute couture gown . Judging by her appearance , she must be from some prominent Pack . Can I help you ? I asked . Im Wendy Crawford , she said as she stepped forward . I had heard the name Wendy in all the gossip circulating since I arrived at Eclipse Pack , The princess of the Crawfords was Cadens childhood friend and the only woman who had been by his side for years . Everyone assumed they were a perfect match and that they would eventually marry . Rumors have even suggested that Wendy will be the future Luna of Eclipse Pack . But now , I had shown up and messed up their plans . Whats this about ? I asked , keeping my voice steady . Wendy took a card from her bag and , without flinching , said , Heres ten million . I want you to announce that youre breaking off your engagement with Caden tonight . I couldnt help but laugh at her audacity . Since coming to Rivemon , it seemed like people thought throwing money at me would get them what they wanted . But compared to Eleanors 5,000 . Wendys ten million was certainly more generous . Wendy looked at me with a frown . This ten million will ensure you live comfortably for the rest of your life . You need to know that Caden will never choose you as his Luna . Hes only sticking with you now because of Mr. Richards poor health . Once he gets better , Caden will get rid of you . You wont get a single benefit from this . Hal 1 scoffed , Ten million to last me for the rest of my life ? Ms. Crawford , thats not even enough for my monthly allowance . Without waiting for her stunned reaction , I turned and walked away , my heels clicking sharply on the floor . Behind me , I could hear Wendy shout , Youre out of your mind , Rosaline ? How could you , a bumpkin Omega , have ten million of a monthly allowance ? 50 Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
