[Edward's P.O.V.]
I started going back to work at my company but I was often distracted so Patrick still took care of everything for me.
I looked for all the connections I could find, including reliable relationships with some of the other packs in my family. I approached some of the private detectives in human society, sending them pictures of Rose and Alonso, and announcing that there would be a huge reward for them if they could tell me where they were now. But time has disappointed me again and again.
I had turned desperate the moment I realized Annabel could create another version of me simply by disguising someone else with my smell and a few strands of my hair.
This meant that if Rose really wanted to escape me, then the witch Susanna could have done the same with her. So, unless she wanted to come back to me, I wouldn't be able to find her. Pursuing my mate was going to be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
