Carlos sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in distress.
âI just hope youâll think about it, Debra.
For both your and Calebâs sake, please donât go against us.
â
âBut I canât just think about myself,â I replied stubbornly.
âYou and
Caleb have been here for a while.
You know that there are a lot of nice people who live here.
This is their home.
I canât imagine how theyâll feel after they lose their home.
â
Carlos fell silent, having been rendered speechless.
With a helpless look, he exhaled loudly and said, âDebra, sometimes you and Caleb are really alike.
Both of you are too stubborn for your own good.
Maybe thatâs why Moon Goddess chose you for each other.
After everything thatâs happened, I can tell that you two love each other
But because you two canât see eye to eye on this, youâll only end up hurting each other.
Youâve got to understand, Debra.
As his Beta, I donât want to see him get hurt.
â
I nodded quietly.
There was a Lump stuck in my throat.

I appreciated that Carlos was so loyal to Caleb and obeyed his every order.
But if even Carlos was so determined to get the town, how much more
Caleb?
Did I have to choose between my own happiness and that of others?
I felt caught between a rock and a hard place.
Although if I loved Caleb with all my heart, I couldnât just turn away from the mission Gale assigned me and the residents of Roz Town.
Even if the love I yearned for was within armâs reach, I needed to stay true to my principles.
I didnât want to lose myself for my mate, just like Riley did.
âIvy, there has to be another way, right?â I asked sadly.
Ivy sighed.
âMaybe, but if there is, I donât know what it is.

That night, after Carlos left, I lay on the sofa and got lost in thought trying to come up with solutions.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly received a text from
Adam.
âDebra, youâd better report to my office tomorrow!â
Debraâs POV:
On the following morning, as I woke up, Caleb was still fast asleep
I had intended to bid him farewell right there in the bedroom, but his words from the previous night lingered in my mind, causing me to hesitate.
