The Despised Luna's Comeback

Chapter 468 Was Caden Truly Going to Marry Someone Else?

I followed the sound of the voice and saw a strange female werewolf walking toward me. She beamed when she noticed me looking her way and eagerly approached. "I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to try on wedding dresses? Oh, let me introduce myself first—I'm a reporter." I hesitated for a moment before giving a polite nod and offering a professional smile. "Hello." The reporter quickly scanned me before her face lit up with a bright smile. "This wedding dress looks amazing on you, Ms. Tessford. It's a perfect match. You look even more stunning than the articles described ... Oh, is Mr. Holbrook not here with you today?" I blinked in surprise but quickly regained my composure and smiled. "Caden's been swamped with work lately, so he let me come on my own to try on dresses. He even said we're going to have the most extravagant wedding ever, one that will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Oh, look at me oversharing again." I was being intentional. Knowing she was a reporter, I figured everything I said would soon be published, making it clear to everyone that Caden was planning to marry me. Rosaline, the Omega, would lose everything. The reporter quickly shook her head, but her eyes gleamed with excitement as she processed the scoop. "It's fine. You and Mr. Holbrook are getting married, so of course you're excited. He must treat you very well." I played coy, lowering my gaze as I replied, "He spoils me a lot. This wedding dress, for example, is something Caden had specially ordered for me. He even mentioned we'd be going to Phoshire for our honeymoon." I didn't even lower my voice; I wanted the entire world to hear. I, the future Luna of Eclipse Pack, was finally taking my place. Rosaline's POV: I sat at home, staring at the news headlines. "Heidi Tries on Wedding Dress—Is She Really the Future Luna of Eclipse Pack?" My emotions were conflicted. After a moment, I turned the TV off. It felt as though my heart was weighed down under suffocating pressure. Although this was part of the plan Caden and I had discussed, seeing Heidi trying on the dress triggered a moment of doubt. For a brief instant, I wondered—was Caden truly going to marry someone else?I frowned, pressing my hand to my chest, trying to push away the bitter feeling. I quickly composed myself and left to visit Jasper at the hospital. Jasper's POV: Rosaline was cutting oranges for me, but it was clear she wasn't really present. I turned toward her several times, studying her face. I had seen the news earlier about Heidi trying on wedding dresses. Honestly, I was furious when I saw it. It felt like Caden was confused. He'd made his relationship with Heidi public, yet he was still holding onto Rosaline, unable to let go. "Here." Rosaline handed me a slice of orange with a faint smile, but as she tried to pull her hand back, I couldn't help but grab her wrist. "Rosaline," I began with an agitated voice, locking my gaze with hers. "I know you've always loved Caden, but he's not worth it. You ... you must have seen it, right? Heidi's trying on wedding dresses. They're getting married, and now it's all out in the open!" I could feel my chest rising and falling with agitation, and when Rosaline heard my words, she lowered her gaze, silent. Her silence felt like sorrow to me, and it gave me the strength to continue. "Caden broke up with you not long ago, right? He's not the man you should rely on. He's blind for letting you go, only to get engaged to someone like Heidi. Don't be sad. Don't let him hurt you anymore. "Rosaline, you've been taking care of me these past few days. You know how I feel about you. I might not have the wealth or influence that Caden has, but I can give you happiness. I'm willing to wait for you. Even if you don't feel the same way now, we can take it slow. Please, just let me in." I had been struggling with these thoughts every day. I needed to know Rosaline's feelings, and after gathering all my courage, I finally let my emotions spill out. In my eyes, Caden didn't deserve Rosaline. Rosaline's POV: I took a deep breath, pulling my hand away from Jasper's, unsure how to respond to him. For now, I had to pretend I didn't notice the sincerity in his gaze. I tucked the blanket around him and said, "You need to rest and focus on recovering. Once you're out of the hospital, we can talk about everything."Jasper paused, then slowly withdrew his hand, giving me a gentle nod. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
