âWhat on earth do you think youâre doing, you lunatic?â Brian roared, his voice reverberating with indignation.
âDo you truly believe we want to witness Calebâs demise in Roz Town? It would spell disaster for the entire town.
Do you think for a second that we donât desperately want him to awaken? Weâve been tirelessly toiling day and night, searching for a solution.
And now you have the audacity to claim that we delayed the rescue? What gives you the right to undermine our hard work and efforts?â
As the tension escalated between the two, I quickly grasped the impending chaos that would ensue if the situation persisted.
Now, the paramount concern shifted to devising a plan to rescue Caleb.
Gritting my teeth, I summoned the resolve and decisiveness to make a firm decision.
âIn that case, allow me to take charge and make the decision,â I asserted.
Taking a deep breath, I addressed MeLany and Brian and proposed, âLetâs arrange for Caleb to receive the antidote without delay.
â
In an instant, all eyes turned to me.
As Carlos released his grip on Brian, his tone turned icy, and he questioned with disdain, âWho do you think you are, Debra, to make decisions for Calebâs life? How dare you assume the authority to determine his fate?â
Maintaining a composed expression, I responded calmly, âBecause I am his mate.
Furthermore, hasnât Caleb always expressed his desire for me to return to the Thorn Edge Pack and become his Luna? You should be well aware that the Luna possesses the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Alpha when the Alpha is unable to do so.
â
Carlos clenched his teeth and persisted, âDidnât you hear what was said earlier? Taking the antidote might result in Calebâs death.
Melany and
Brian are incompetent doctors, and thereâs no guarantee they can ensure his survival.
I believe that only by returning to the Thorn Edge Pack can he be truly saved.
â
In response, I posed a question to Carlos.
âBut how can you be certain that Caleb wonât die during the journey back to the Thorn Edge Pack?â
Carlos was taken aback, his expression momentarily frozen with surprise.
Without allowing Carlos to elaborate, I pressed on, âThe poison in
Calebâs body may not have spread yet, but its progression is unpredictable.
Thereâs a looming risk that it could worsen at any moment.
If we were to embark on the journey back, who knows if we might encounter adversaries along the way? If Caleb were to perish during the journey, would you be able to bear the weight of that consequence?â

Carlos fell silent, his uncertainty evident as he struggled to find a response.
I asserted, âCarlos, Calebâs poisoning in Roz Town is a grave matter.
If you were to take him back in his current condition, it would undoubtedly draw attention.
Once word gets out, it could trigger a full-blown war between the two tribes.
Countless Lives would be lost, and innocent people would suffer the consequences.
Can you bear the weight of such consequences, Carlos? Can you?â
âIâ¦â Carlos didnât know what else to say.
âDonât think about it anymore.
Iâll take care of it.
â
I shifted my gaze to the pale-faced man lying on the bed.
Inexplicably, an unprecedented sense of calm washed over me in that very moment.
âI am fully prepared to shoulder the consequences of the decision I have made.
If anything were to happen to Caleb, you can take me back to the Thorn Edge Pack for trial.
This entire situation has nothing to do with Roz Town.
I was once a mere outcast, expelled from the Silver
Ridge Pack.
Let me resolve this matter on my own.
â
Carlos, undoubtedly taken aback by my unwavering resolve, persisted stubbornly, âBut even if you are willing to sacrifice your life, it wonât bring Caleb back!â
I countered Carlos with conviction, âBut perhaps my sacrifice can pave the path towards peace between the two packs, right?â
Carlos lowered his eyes in silence.
