I nodded stiffly in response.
My father Let out a soft sigh and cast a gentle gaze in my direction.
âIâm aware that there are skilled individuals documented in there.
Actually, your mother wished that when a crucial moment arrived, youâd turn to me for assistance.
Do you want to disappoint her?â
I stood there, uncertain, teeth digging into the plush of my lower lip.
From where I stood, the problem of Roz District presented a mountainous challenge.
Solving it single-handedly seemed impossible.
Among the Thorn Edge Pack, Kane stood as the lone figure ready to spearhead the construction efforts, accompanied by his team.
Moreover, the inhabitants of Roz Town were busy with preparatory tasks, so they couldnât come here in time.
The most logical route was to enlist help from other packs.
But this option came with its own set of problems, mainly in terms of increased expenses and potential security risks.
So, when considering all aspects, it felt like the wisest decision would be to accept my fatherâs help.
Anticipating the imminent arrival of the second group of Roz Town residents and mindful of Kaneâs rather overconfident demeanor, I finally found myself in agreement, all for the greater good.
âOkay.
Iâm willing to accept your help.
â I spoke up, my words laced with caution.
âBut before I agree, you have to tell me what you want from me.
I donât want to owe you anything or feel obligated in the future.

A shadow of sadness crossed my fatherâs face briefly, but he composed himself and made his request.
âIâd like a few more days to spend with Elena.
â
I was taken aback, my mind struggling to make sense of it all.
Aside from the unusual request, what surprised me even more was my fatherâs genuine concern for Elena.
He explained, his voice steady, âShe reminds me of your mother in some ways.
Thereâs a resemblance in both appearance and feeling.

Spending time with her helps me recall the happier moments from the past.
â
Deep down, I knew he was speaking the truth.
There was no doubt about it.
Elena had inherited a perfect blend of my and Calebâs genes, but as she grew, she increasingly resembled my mother.
Whenever I looked at her, fragments of my motherâs gentle countenance flickered through my mind.
âOkay.
I see.
â
I agreed to his request and turned to the door.
The conversation was over, and I was in no mood to linger.
I rushed to leave, but two silhouettes blocked my way.
I lifted my gaze and there they were-Caleb and his father.
They had stationed themselves patiently by the door, as if shielding me from any harm my own father might cause.
