âNo need.
Iâll inform them of an incorrect date, a few days after we intend to repair the sky,â Caleb informed.
I looked at him, puzzled, and asked, âWhy would you do that?â
Caleb gently rubbed my head.
âFor safety, of course.
â
Even after he said that, I was still uncertain of what he meant.
âFor safety? What do you mean by that?â
Debraâs POV:
âFirstly, you know the fight between the Thorn Edge Pack and Gale was nearly a disaster, and the Thorn Edge Pack suffered greatly.
Yet, we emerged as the most dominant pack,â Caleb explained patiently.
I nodded.
I was aware of that.
It explained their previous caution when we were in negotiations with other packs.
The Thorn Edge Pack had always been formidable.
In the past, few dared to challenge it.
After overcoming the Xeric Pack, our power increased significantly.
We were now unafraid of even an alliance of other packs.
But how did this relate to the task of repairing the sky?
âAnd then?â I asked.
âThis type of strong political authority gained during war doesnât hold steady right away.
Weâve got soldier casualties and all sorts of rebuilding to deal with afterward, and that takes time.
Naturally, the other packs donât want to wait around for us to fix things,â
Caleb added.
Speaking of this, he sighed.
âThe stronger the Thorn Edge Pack becomes, the more it rattles other packsâ interests.
So, ever since the war ended, many packs have been itching to make a move.
They all aim to overthrow us, but theyâre wary of us teaming up with the Xeric Pack.
Plus, theyâre weighing our ties with the Silver Ridge Pack, so theyâre holding back from any hasty actions.
â
I was still puzzled.
âI get all that, but what does it have to do with fixing the sky? Arenât vampires the biggest threat we face? Do you think those Alphas are stupid enough to let all the werewolves plunge into despair just for their packsâ interests? After all, theyâre werewolves too.
The crisis affects them directly.
â
Caleb sneered, âDebra, youâre too naive.
Our knowledge of the other world is limited.
Right now, all they see is the immediate threat of vampires.
â
He shrugged and added, âHonestly, while vampires are very powerful, they are outnumbered and were defeated in the end.
We have captured all of them.
So, many packs believe the creatures from the other world arenât much of a threat.
Theyâve become complacent and arenât taking things seriously.
â
I was at a loss for words.
That made sense.
If I hadnât seen those horrific visions in my dreams, Caleb and I wouldnât be so driven to fix the rift.
We wouldnât be as desperate as we were now, rushing to make preparations.
Perhaps we would end up repairing it eventually, but certainly not without significant delay.
We wouldnât take it seriously until the situation became very serious.
Perhaps that was why I had those dreams.
Human nature tended to be this way.
If it didnât directly involve them or align with their own interests, they wouldnât give their all or make sacrifices.
Instead, they would carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages first.
Since the Alphas were getting into action, their intentions were clear as day.
