Resisting the urge to laugh at him, I hissed in a low voice, âKeep your voice down.
You might wake her up!â
Carlos had no choice but to come back and help.
âI donât like this girl,â he muttered under his breath.
Together, we carried Janiya back to her room and settled her down.
Then we went back to my room and plopped down on the sofa.
While todayâs matter had been settled, my mood didnât improve.
On the contrary, my heart felt heavy, as though a storm had swept through a beach, leaving disaster in its wake.
Although things had returned to peace, there was still a huge mess to clean up.
I stood up and wanted to pour myself a glass of wine, but I accidentally tripped on the foot of the table.
A toy car fell down from the table and clattered to the floor.
The noise attracted Carlosâs attention.
He picked up the toy car from the floor and asked, âWhat happened? The kid didnât Like the toys you chose?â
I shook my head with a bitter smile.
Carlos seemed to have misunderstood what I meant.
Scratching his chin in confusion, he mused, âThatâs weird.
How could a kid not like any of these toys? The toy store owner said that these were their bestsellers.
â
Swallowing the Lump in my throat, I told him about the babyâs death.
âWhen Debra was being hunted down, her health declined.
The child didnât make it.
â
Carlosâs jaw went slack.
He seemed to want to say something, but after seeing my grim expression, he chose not to say a word.
Maybe he realized that it wasnât appropriate to say anything now.
Even the words âIâm sorry to hear that'â was useless.
âIâve thought about it.
Once Iâm finished dealing with Roz Town, Iâ1L find a way to take Debra back to the Thorn Edge Pack.
Sheâll become my Luna.
â I looked at the toys in the room.

âReally? Thatâs a great idea!â Damien, who had been quiet all day, suddenly became excited.
âHarlan canât make Debra happy, but you can.
Youâre the best match for her! Harlanâs just a despicable idiot.
He mustâve taken advantage of Debra when she was still lonely and sad.
But now that youâve met Debra again, you should kick him out of the picture.
â
I silently agreed with what Damien said.
âCaleb, there are plenty of other ways to make amends.
You donât have to get involved in her life,â Carlos said slowly.
âIâm not trying to make amends, Carlos.
â A flicker of impatience flashed through my eyes.
âThen why would you do that?â
âBecause Iâve fallen in love with her.
â
Carlosâs eyebrows shot up in disbelief.
âWhat? You are in love with her? Howâs that possible?â
I knew what Carlos was thinking.
In his eyes, I was the Alpha of a pack, while Debra was just the daughter of a prostitute.
We werenât in the same social class at all.
However, Carlos forgot that when it came to love, social class didnât matter.
âIâve never felt so heartbroken for a woman before, Carlos.
â I sighed, recalling the scene where I humiliated Debra in the bar.
âKnowing that she lost her child because of me, I feel that I owe her my life.
If I had just been softhearted at that time and took her in, she wouldnât have suffered so much.
