âNo way!â
Hearing this, Zoe immediately stood up and blocked our way.
âYouâre in Roz Town, so you play by its rules.
Once a game starts, no oneâs allowed to leave until itâs over.
â
âYeah, sheâs right!â
The crowd echoed Zoeâs sentiments.
Feeling annoyed, I asked Zoe, âSo who made such a stupid rule? Adam or Gale? Do any of you still remember that Gale is the real Alpha?â Everyone in the bar fell silent.
My gaze swept across the crowd.
Everyone avoided my gaze.
âIâll follow your rules, but youâd better think about what I said.
â
I picked up the apple from the table and said, âCome on.
Iâll be Harlanâs volunteer.
â
Caleb walked over and reminded me in a low voice, âDebra, this is dangerous.
You might get hurt.
Why donât you just let Harlan admit defeat?â
âCaleb, you bastard!â
Harlanâs eyes flashed in anger.
He seemed to want to pounce on Caleb on the spot, but I hurriedly stopped him.
I didnât know what kind of bet Harlan had going on with Caleb, but judging from Harlanâs violent reaction, I figured it was a big gamble.
It seemed that I couldnât let Harlan Lose tonight.
âIt doesnât matter,â I said loudly in front of Caleb.
âLetâs finish the competition.
I trust my mate, Harlan.
â
Caleb seemed to stiffen at the mention of the word âmate,â but the rest of the people in the bar settled down.
Sitting back in the referee seat, Zoe shouted, âThe competition shall continue.
For the sake of fairness, weâll let Harlan go first.

Under Calebâs intent gaze, I slowly walked to the appointed position, put the apple in my mouth, and closed my eyes.
Truth be told, I was extremely nervous.
I had no idea how good Harlan was at throwing darts.
But now, I could only pray that he wouldnât miss the apple.
Putting my life in another personâs hands was nerve-wracking.
Every second that passed was torture.
I gritted my teeth anxiously.
I felt so nervous that my heart seemed to want to leap out of my chest.
Suddenly, with my eyes squeezed shut, I heard Calebâs voice saying, âForget it, I quit.
â
Debraâs POV:
The second I opened my eyes, I met Calebâs complicated gaze.
âWhat? You quit?â Zoe jumped to her feet with a shocked expression.
Staring at me, Caleb said loudly, âYes, I admit defeat.
I donât want to continue anymore.
