Riley was always so thoughtful.
Ever since Caleb and I got engaged in Roz Town, she had been like a second mother to me-caring and robust, always looking out for me.
I touched my ears and said softly, âIâve thought about having the wedding at the church where the Roz District meets the Thorn Edge Pack.
This way, people from both places can join in.
â
âGreat thinking! Itâs wonderful youâre considering this.
Perhaps itâll even help the Roz Town and the Thorn Edge Pack become closer,â
Riley said, nodding in agreement.
Zoe added, âEven though Debra appears gentle, sheâs very decisive and intelligent when it matters.
Sheâs clear about whatâs important.
With her around, Iâm sure theyâll manage to coexist peacefully.

While we were talking, I noticed someone sneaking glances at us from a distance.
Dressed in plain clothes, he blended into the crowd.
He pretended to be busy, pacing back and forth, seemingly listening in on our conversation.
I felt a chill run down my spine.
However, before I could react, the man caught my stare.
Instead of staying put, he turned and ran away.
Debraâs POV:
âStop!â Zoe catapulted forward like a lightning bolt, clearly sensing the presence of this dubious character.

With feline grace, she swiftly apprehended the intruder in under thirty seconds, deftly hauling him back.
He tumbled to the ground.
In an awkward display, the man was unceremoniously thrust before me.
Arching her eyebrows, Zoe cast a disdainful gaze upon him, and remarked, âThinking of slipping away after eavesdropping? You must be daydreaming.
Donât you know who I am?â
Upon closer scrutiny, I realized it was an entirely unfamiliar face.
I had no acquaintance with him, never laid eyes on him before.
This man was an enigma; our paths had never crossed before.
The situation grew even more dubious.
Why would a stranger eavesdrop on our conversation?
I inquired icily, âWho are you?â
The man hung his head, stuttering, âHi, Debra.
Iâm Scott, part of the third group of residents that arrived here from Roz Town.
â
The third group of residents?
Riley and I exchanged puzzled glances.
