[Edward's P.O.V.]
I left the infirmary and walked back to my room to check on some of the documents for the meeting tomorrow. I would go see Rose later, relieved that Patrick would be waiting at the door of the infirmary while I was gone.
On the way back to my room, I felt a strange sensation. Guilt, even. I told Rose not to reject me in a hurry. Yet, I said that I would bring her back to live with me in Sunset Pack. And she naively agreed. She might have thought that I was simply protecting her. And perhaps I was. But there was more to that.
My first mate was someone I loved but could not be with. She was also a member Southern Wilderness Pack, killed in that despicable massacre many years ago. Although I did not personally witness her death, it was reported in the sensational news. I wanted to ask Rose how she managed to escape, but I felt that it was not the right time to ask.
