On high alert, I sped up immediately.
However, the person behind me also sped up.
I wasnât far from Annaâs house.
I didnât know how long this person had been following me, and if they had seen Elena or not.
In order to protect Elena, I immediately turned into a wolf and fled in the opposite direction, trying my best to put distance between me and Annaâs place.
As expected, the stalker followed suit.
But as I approached the hotel, he suddenly disappeared, and I was alone.
Perhaps he was afraid of Caleb and Carlos, so he didnât dare to get close to them.
After making sure I was safe, I returned to my human form and quickly put on my spare clothes in the car.

When I was about to enter the hotel, a pair of hands grabbed me from behind.
I screamed and struggled instinctively.
The man pressed his warm body against my back, and his scent wafted over to my nose.
Immediately, I stopped struggling.
It was Caleb.
I turned around and scolded him angrily.
âWhat the hell are you doing? You scared me!â
âDebra, where were you?â
Caleb looked as angry as me.
âYou didnât come back to the hotel, and I couldnât get in touch with you.
I thought you were kidnapped!â
When I turned on my phone, I found that there indeed were several missed callsâall from Caleb.
His face was full of worry.
It was the first time that I had seen him so concerned.
Somehow, I found it somewhat cute.
âIâm fine,â I muttered, feeling a little guilty.
âYou worry too much.
I can deal with whoeverâs after me.
I refuse to hide behind you.
â
âYeah? Then whatâs your solution?â Caleb retorted in disbelief.
âItâs none of your business.
â I shook off his hand and started walking to my room.
Caleb seemed to be too stunned to move.
But a few seconds Later, he came to his senses and quickly caught up to me.
âYou know what? Youâre like a rose.
Beautiful but covered in thorns.
Every time anyone tries to get close to you, they get stung.
â
I glanced at him expressionlessly and kept walking.
âIsnât that a good thing? My thorns will protect me.
If I were just a flower in the greenhouse, I wouldnât have survived the past five years, Caleb.
â
Caleb fell silent, but he kept following me all the way to the door.
