Counterback of the Despised Luna
Chapter 4 The Awesome Me
Rosaline’s POV:
I followed Caden into the company. As we passed the employee workstations, whispers filled the air.
Finished
Of course, I knew that the news of my engagement to Caden had already caused a stir throughout the city. I was mentally prepared for the gossip and stares.
But y
with my enhanced Alpha hearing, their words were not what I had expected.
“Look, look, who’s that woman behind the boss? She’s so beautiful, and her aura is amazing!
“Wow, her legs are perfect! I’m jealous!”
“Could she be Mr. Holbrook’s fiancée?”
“No way. That can’t be
I realized what was happening. These people, like Eleanor, probably expected me to be a clumsy, naive country girl from distant Frostmoore, someone completely out of place. But no one had expected the woman walking beside Caden, heading to work, to be so beautiful and composed.
I ignored their chatter and headed straight for the HR department to complete my paperwork. When I returned, I overheard several secretariat staff gossiping.
“Rosaline is so gorgeous! She’s even prettier than Wendy!”
“Beauty’s great and all, but she’s just some Omega from the countryside. How could she possibly be worthy of Mr. Holbrook?”
A voice dripping with disdain reached my ears, and I couldn’t help but smile coldly. I pushed open the door and walked up to the rude girl.
Standing tall and looking down at her, I saw her name tag. Stella Dixon, Head of Secretariat.
With a hint of sarcasm, I asked, “Yeah, I’m not worthy of him, but are you?”
Her face stiffened as she looked up and saw who it was. The words she was about to say died in her throat, and the others quickly scattered.
I smirked. These people were pretending to be polite, but deep down, they were clearly dissatisfied. They were only holding their tongues because I was still engaged to Caden.
“Mr. Holbrook said you’re part of the secretariat now, so you should be treated fairly. This is an advertisement shoot that Eclipse Group is working on today. You’ll be in charge of it,” Stella said as she handed me a file.
I took the file and turned to leave.
“Stella, is this the ad Ryan’s doing? I hope Rosaline doesn’t mess it up, one of the girls whispered.
“Ryan is a huge star. He’s young, temperamental, and loves to nitpick. No one can stand him. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Rosaline messed up her first day?”

trouble, and I’m sure Rosaline will have a hard time with him.”
The women were clearly trying to set me up.
I glanced through the ad shoot details. Ryan? That name seemed familiar.
The shoot was scheduled at Eclipse Group, and when the time came, I went downstairs with a few colleagues to greet Ryan Lindsay, the star.
Finished
A black Bentley rolled into the parking lot, and Ryan stepped out, wearing sunglasses. At 19, he already had millions of fans. His swagger as he walked toward us screamed rebellion and indulgence.
Under the urging looks of my colleagues, 1 stepped forward to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Lindsay. I’m Rosaline, the coordinator for this shoot
Before I could finish my sentence, Ryan, his face still proudly tilted upward, interrupted with a sharp complaint. “It’s so hot, and none of you thought to get me an umbrella? Is the set ready for the shoot? Oh, and you, go get me a coffee. From that place in the city center-”
He stopped mid–sentence, his cocky expression turning into one of complete surprise.
I smiled at him. This brat finally recognized me.
“D*mn, Rosie! Am I dreaming?” Ryan ripped off his sunglasses and stared at me in disbelief.
“Rosie? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be out traveling the world or lounging in some 15 feet bed by now?
He threw his arms around me, pulling me into a hug.
I patted his head, chuckling. “It’s been a while, Ryan. By the way, what did you say you wanted to drink?”
Ryan quickly waved his hands in denial. “No, no, I didn’t say anything! What do you want? I’ll go get it for you.”
Everyone around us was completely stunned.
I could understand their shock. The tyrant was being affectionate with the new girl at the company and it was a bit much for them to process. I had even patted Ryan’s head, and now he was offering to buy me a drink.
None of it made sense.
They must have thought Ryan was being so friendly because he already knew I was engaged to Caden, but what they didn’t realize was that Ryan and I had known each other for five years.
When Ryan was 15, he was filming in the countryside near Frostmoore, which was also near my home.
During that time, Ryan ran into a Rogue that was wandering in the wild. I happened to be there and saved
him.
I had just turned 16, and using only my fists, I beat the Rogue–who had shifted into his wolf form–into submissi
Ryan was shocked by the whole thing. To him, I was the coolest person he’d ever met. His second shock came when I took him home to the Shadow Pack Manor, which was even bigger than any palace in the

world.
Finished
From that moment on, I became the most impressive Alpha in the entire Werewolf Continent in Ryan’s
eyes.
