Besides, Andrew might have already known about the truth.
But if he did, what was he doing? Why didnât he tell me the truth? Was it because he was afraid of having to fight Veronica face-to-face?
Caleb noticed my frown and put away a strand of hair behind my ear.
âIT wouldnât let anyone harm you in any way, okay? Everyone who messes with my girl shall pay a hefty price.
I promise that.
â
Somehow, Calebâs words were enough to bring warmth to this cold nightmare of mine.
My eyes seemed to brighten from his words as his warmth reached the trenches of my desolated heart.
I might have lost my memories, but Calebâs unwavering support and intimacy were enough to make up for it.
He always made me feel loved and taken care of.
Ivy could feel how I thought and screamed, âOh, my! Look at how fast your heartâs been racing, dear! Why donât you give this charming man a ki*s?â
Ivy was excited for me, but her enthusiasm didnât reach my grieving heart.
At the back of my mind, I was still unsure of where I stood with Caleb despite his kindness.
It would still break my heart whenever I thought of us because of Alexandria.
âIvy, I donât think itâs the right time.
â
Then, I pushed Calebâs hand away.
âLet me handle my own business,â
I told him.
I noticed how Calebâs expression darkened as his Adamâs apple rose in an attempt to spill out words.
âCaleb,â I called to him, interrupting him before he could actually speak.
âIâm grateful that you have helped me a lot with this, but I think I should be the one to avenge myself.
â
That was it.
I put up walls with those words not just because of our relationshipâs uncertainty but also for Calebâs sake.
He was the Thorn Edge Packâs Alpha, and it wouldnât do him any good to attack the witch clan leader.
That would just raise conflict between the two clans.
And I would never ever let Caleb endanger his life for me.
Debraâs POV:
In Calebâs eyes, it seemed I wanted to make a clean break with him.
With a sad and disappointed expression on his handsome face, he said to me, âYou are the Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack.
Whoever dares harm you is destined to become an enemy of the entire pack.
â
His gaze was intense, and I could see a mix of affection and resolve in his eyes as he continued, âI wonât change my mind.
The Thorn Edge Pack and I will take revenge for our Luna!â
I sighed helplessly, struggling to find the right words.
I knew nothing I could say would change his mind.
âCaleb,â I began, hesitating, âthis matter isnât just about me.
It involves the entire witch clan and Andrew too.
If we need to resolve this, we must also consider Andrewâs interests.
â
âAndrew!â At last, Calebâs composure broke.
He gritted his teeth and spat out Andrewâs name, his face growing cold.
âYou always think of Andrew, but donât forget, you are my Luna!â
The atmosphere suddenly shifted, growing tense.
Caleb completely misunderstood my intentions.
He thought I wanted to face this together with Andrew, leaving him out of it.
