Gritting my teeth, I tried my best to keep sober and stumbled out of the bathroom.
âDebra! Wait!â ALL the color drained from my fatherâs face.
He followed me out and shouted anxiously, âDonât go out, or else someone might see you.
Come back quickly!â
But I knew that Caleb was right outside.
If I hid in the bathroom and my power exploded suddenly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I kicked the door open and threw myself into Calebâs arms, shouting, âHelp me, Caleb!â
Caleb held me close and fixed his eyes on my father.
âWhatâs going on?â
My father was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat.
But he pretended to be calm and lied through his teeth, saying, âOh, sheâs fine.
She just doesnât feel well all.
Just leave her to me.
â
Obviously, my father still wanted to hide my identity from Caleb.
However, Caleb exposed my fatherâs lie unscrupulously.
âYou donât have to hide anything from me.
I know all about Debraâs secrets.
â
Then he carefully scooped me up and was about to walk out.
âWait!â My father immediately caught up to us and stopped Caleb in his tracks.
âWhere do you think youâre taking her? Put her down right this instant!â
Caleb returned his gaze coldly and said through gritted teeth, âIâm taking her to a safe place.
Iâm protecting your daughter, not hurting her.
Now, please get out of the way!â
However, my father stood his ground.

âAre you really taking her to a safe place? Or are you going to tell your elders about her secret so that the Thorn Edge Pack can deal with her?â
Debraâs POV:
My father eyed Caleb vigilantly, refusing to back down.
He seemed ready to fight at any given moment.
I remembered that he was like this whenever he was extremely nervous.
âDad, donât worry.
.
â I could see that my father really cared about me and that he was just afraid that Caleb would expose my identity, so I told my father sincerely, âI trust Caleb.
He would never hurt me.
â
Father paused and faltered somewhat, as though he believed what I said.
But he still wasnât completely convinced, so he stepped aside and followed Caleb.
His eyes were fixed on me the whole time, as though he was scared Iâd disappear if he so much as blinked.
Caleb could also tell that my father was just worried about me, so he didnât try to stop him from following us.
In this way, the three of us descended the stairs to the basement.
