Sally, who had been silent this whole time, finally broke the silence.
âPlease donât blame Carlos.
The reason why he went to the station and bailed Marley out was to help me.
â
She lowered her head and explained, âThat day, Adam was preoccupied by
Riley, so he couldnât send someone he trusted to help Marley.
He ended up grabbing me when he had the chance and ordered me to bail Marley out.
â
At this point in the story, Sally blushed.
âBut I was too scared to go by myself, so I asked Carlos for help.
Adam warned me that heâd kick me out of town if the news spread.
I had to beg Carlos to keep it a secret.
I didnât expect that it would cause such a _ huge misunderstanding.
â
I was stunned.
Was Sally telling the truth?
Recalling the embarrassed look on Carlosâ face that day, it slowly started to dawn on me.
Carlos had told me over and over again that it had nothing to do with
Caleb, but at that time, Zoe and I thought he was lying.
However, what surprised me even more was that Carlos was willing to turn his back on his Alpha for Sallyâs sake.

This was unbelievable!
Debraâs POV:
Calebâs dissatisfaction with Carlosâ actions cast a shadow over his countenance.
âCarlos, just wait until we get back to the Thorn Edge Pack.
Iâm going to teach you a Lesson you wonât forget,â Caleb warned in a Low, ominous voice.
âWait⦠The Thorn Edge Pack?â Sally interjected curiously.
A flicker of surprise washed over me, only to be quickly replaced by realization.
It dawned on me that Carlos had withheld certain details from Sally.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have posed such a question.
As expected, a look of immediate panic swept across Carlosâ face.
âSally, this⦠ummâ¦â
He hemmed and hawed, struggling to form a coherent sentence.
Sensing that something was amiss, Caleb was on the verge of speaking up.
However, I swiftly intervened, stopping him.

I shook my head at Caleb, signaling him to refrain from speaking.
It seemed more prudent for them to address this issue on their own, without any external intervention.
Sally was an innocent soul, and I had no desire to see her get hurt.
As for Carlos, his loyalty to Caleb was unwavering.
I had witnessed firsthand the depth of Carlosâ loyalty when Caleb was previously poisoned-it nearly drove him to madness.
Despite Carlosâ typically carefree and unreliable demeanor, he proved himself to be a genuinely good-hearted man.
