Damien, eyes filled with fury, yelled.
âCaleb, end Galeâs life now! She didnât just set Debra on fire and take your fatherâs life but also made so many of our innocent pack leave their homes.
She has no right to Live!â
My gaze turned darker, and my grip tightened.
The inner beast in me was screaming for action.
Yet, I knew haste wasnât the answer.
I took a deep breath, calming myself down.
I told Damien firmly, âNo, we must watch her closely.
Gale is tricky; we need to make sure sheâs at a disadvantage before we make our move.
Otherwise, our elite fighters might suffer more losses for the Thorn Edge Pack.
â
Damien wasnât happy.
He let out a dismissive snort and mumbled, âWhy hesitate? Just end her.
â
But he didnât push further.
Once I got a grip on my feelings, I confronted Gale.
âYour words wonât save you now.
With my team surrounding the Xeric Pack, Iâm curious about your next move.
â
Gale just smirked, clearly not bothered.
She raised her chin with pride, stating casually, âWhy bother with surrounding us? Iâm the supreme witch; a simple gesture from me could wipe you out.
I suggest you make the smart choice, surrender without a fuss, and avoid unnecessary losses.
â
Hearing her boastful and confident speech, my suspicions grew stronger.
I locked eyes with her and replied calmly, âIs that so?â
Galeâs expression was full of disdain as she said, âItâs the truth.
â
I lifted an eyebrow slightly, offering a cold smile.
âIf youâre as mighty as you say, why didnât you come after us yourself when Debra and I had to leave the Thorn Edge Pack and were looking into Dylanâs case in the Xeric Pack?â
Gale froze for a moment.
She attempted to justify herself.
âWell, thatâs becauseâ¦â
But I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
âAlso, if you hold such a grudge against the Thorn Edge Pack and are eager to see its end, and considering your supposed immense power as the supreme witch, why didnât you seize the chance to crush us completely after you already dealt us a significant blow, thus achieving your long-awaited goal?â
I curled the edge of my mouth, showing no mercy as I presented my theory.
âCould it be that even the revered supreme witch canât use her power non-stop? Maybe thatâs why youâre now waiting for them to come back.
â
I gave a mocking smile, emphasizing each word.
âCould I be correct, Gale?â
Calebâs POV:
Galeâs face contorted, reflecting her sudden discomfort.
I let a small smirk play on my lips.
My hunch was spot on.
