It was Caleb that dashed cold water on Zoeâs words, reminding her gravely, âZoe, now that weâre in the Thorn Edge Pack, this matter is being scrutinized by everyone.
I have to handle it impartially to avoid any negative public opinion, as it wouldnât bode well for either Debra or myself.
â
Zoe rolled her eyes and said, âScrew your packâs rules! That woman deserves to rot in hell!â
Debraâs POV:
Caleb was smart enough to recognize the futility of argument, and chose the silence of wisdom instead.
Zoe clicked her tongue in boredom and refrained from engaging in an useless argument.
Instead, she graciously guided us through the new district.
Daylight waned as dusk settled.
The sun bid its farewell, painting the western sky with a captivating hue of red.
Under the tender caress of the setting sun, the new district wrapped itself in an ethereal glow
Its buildings were adorned with a delicate golden gauze, exuding a mesmerizing beauty.
I stood entranced by the spectacle and exclaimed, âThe dusk scenes in the new district are truly captivating!â
âOf course.
â Zoe nodded proudly.
âDebra, youâve been in the Thorn Edge
Pack for so long, but you havenât stayed in the new district yet.
How about staying here today and experiencing the life for a whole day here?â
âSure.
â
I nodded.
Since joining the Thorn Edge Pack, I had spent most of my time at
Jeniferâs place.
I had yet to get to know how the Roz Townâs residents were doing here.
Caleb readily agreed to accompany me.
He got in touch with Carlos and arranged for our daughter to attend kindergarten the following morning.
We stayed in the new district, immersing ourselves in its allure for a night.
The following morning, as I made my way downstairs to buy breakfast, I was taken aback by the boisterous commotion coming from outside the hall where a crowd of people had gathered.
My brows shot up in surprise.

What happened?
As I stood there, Jenifer materialized at the gate.
Why did she come to the new district?
Frowning, she asked, âDebra, did you and Caleb visit Jayla yesterday?
My heart fluttered, a sign of impending unease pounding in my chest.
âYes.
Whatâs wrong?â
Jennifer locked eyes with me and said somberly, âShe passed away Last night.
