Gale snorted.
âYouâre so naive, Caleb.
Even if you run off, you wonât escape my control.
Who do you think you are, wanting to take Debra with you? Dream on! Youâre too green!â
Firing back, I said, âNo matter what, youâll never understand the kind of love and loyalty I have.
â
âShut up!â Galeâs annoyance erupted into fury.
âFine! If youâre in such a rush to meet your maker, Iâll send you straight to hell!â
She clenched her teeth and raised her hand, summoning the witch power.
As I watched her anger, a small grin spread across my face.
Finally, I had succeeded.
This was the outcome I had hoped for.
It was better to face Gale head-on than waste time.
Debra couldnât wait any longer.
With each passing moment, her suffering grew.
Despite the pain shooting through me, I straightened up, a smirk on my lips.
âGo ahead, then.
Give it your best shot.
â
âCaleb, run!â Debraâs urgent cry pierced the air.
âYou canât take on
Gale alone.
Please, go.
Elena and Dylan need their father!â
My heart sank.
Thinking of Elena and Dylan, our kids, filled me with sorrow and regret.
I wouldnât be there to see them grow up.
I wouldnât see them get married or start families of their own after today.
Regardless, I couldnât leave Debra behind.
Even if it meant facing death, Iâd stand by my lover, never giving up on her.
âThen Iâll make your wish come true!â Gale sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Her hand ignited, unleashing flames, which werewolves were afraid of.
The flames flickered in Galeâs eyes, casting a haunting glow.
With a sinister smile, she declared, âYour wish is my command.
Iâll burn you both to ashes.
â
Love conquered fear.
I stared at Gale with unwavering determination.
âDamien, if we can defeat Gale, we might survive, but thereâs also a chance we wonât.
Are you ready?â
âIâm ready!â Damienâs roar was firm.
The wind howled, echoing the tension.
I focused on Gale, ready to engage her in battle.
The battle was about to begin.
Then, a familiar wolf emerged behind Gale.
My eyes widened in recognition.
