He gently caressed my head, his gaze tender.
âSilly, donât be sad.
I have faith that your mother will return someday, just as in your dream.
Even if she doesnât, once weâve resolved pack matters, Iâll help you search for her.
â
âOkay.
â I suppressed my pain and responded with a smile.
The vision of such a promising future for Caleb, only to face such a tragic outcome, left me choked up and physically aching.
After confirming my well-being, Caleb released the handbrake and resumed driving.
To ease my emotions, I opened the car window, letting the breeze dry my tears and dissipate the Lingering ache from the dream.
Regardless, I must find a way to prevent the tragedy, just like the one that occurred in the dream.
In addition to striving to remain by Calebâs side, I must also anticipate the potential necessity of parting ways, preparing in advance to prevent him from succumbing to despair upon my departure.
But how could I proactively safeguard us?
Suddenly, I recalled a spell to suppress emotions from my motherâs notebook.
Could sealing Calebâs emotions forestall that grim future, sparing him from pain?
This notion rapidly gained traction in my mind.
Without hesitation, I retrieved the notebook I always kept with me.
Perhaps I could locate the spell to seal emotions within its pages.
If I could successfully cast it, Caleb wouldnât have to endure suffering as he did in the dream.
Debraâs POV:
My thoughts were heavy, and Ivy noticed, asking with surprise, âWhy on earth would you consider locking away Calebâs feelings? Do you really want him to erase his memories of you?â
I swallowed the lump in my throat and confirmed, âYes.
â
Ivy was taken aback, her expression one of utter disbelief.
âhy?â she asked, her voice shaky with a mix of anger and confusion.
âYou and Caleb have overcome so much to be together.
Why would you choose such a path now?â
Her emotions escalated, eventually raising her voice.
âThe love between you two is evident, seen as a perfect union, why end it this way?â
She even challenged my decision.
âYou seem to be avoiding discussing important matters with Caleb lately.
First, hiding the pregnancy, and now making this decision about his emotions.
Isnât this unfair to him?
Have you thought about how he feels? Could it be that a conversation between you two might have led to a different, less drastic solution?â
