The basement had been renovated; it wasnât as dark and damp as before.
There were many beautiful luminous crystals in it that seemed to glow, and the air was filled with a faint sweet fragrance, making me feel very at ease.
As soon as Caleb set me down, I took a deep breath and gradually relaxed, and the surging power in my body gradually disappeared.
Everything seemed to return to normal.
Caleb breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me happily.
âTurns out this place really works.
â
Now that I was calm, I was able to think straight and asked curiously, âWhat happened to the basement? And howâd you know itâd work?â
As I looked around the room, my intuition told me that the place had been specifically decorated to calm me down.
Caleb explained, âBecause you werenât able to control your power before, I was worried that something unexpected might happen.
So I did the research and found out that when a witch canât control her power, she has to be placed in a comforting environment to relieve it.
Thatâs why I had the basement renovated to look like this.
When you feel that youâre about to lose control of your power, you just need to be brought here.
â
âSo whatâre these crystals for?â
âThe basement has no windows, so itâs really dark.
I was afraid that you wouldnât find it comforting, so I had someone install those crystals to light up the place.
â
Only then did my father come to his senses.
He asked Caleb in astonishment, âHowâd you know that Debraâs a descendant of a witch?â
âI guessed it,â Caleb answered honestly.
âBut Iâm not afraid of her, nor do I intend to give up on her.
Iâll do everything I can to protect her.
â
My fatherâs eyes widened in disbelief.
âSo even if the Thorn Edge Pack doesnât accept her, you donât mind? I thought all the people in the Thorn Edge Pack hated witches.
Your people always killed witches they came across.
Even an Alpha like you canât change the situation.
â
âIt doesnât matter.
Iâll build a new Thorn Edge Pack that can accept witches, just like the way that I convinced them to accept the residents of Roz Town.
Itâs just a matter of time before they change their minds.
â
My father put a damper on Calebâs naive notion and said, âCaleb, donât forget that it was very difficult for you to deal with the matter of the Roz Town residents.
If I hadnât brought my people here, the construction of the new district wouldâve been put to a halt.

Building a new district in your pack was already so difficult, let alone building a new pack.
Stop fantasizing!â
Caleb frowned and was about to refute my fatherâs harsh criticism, but I stopped him.
âLetâs talk about this another time.
â Then, I turned to my father and said, âWeâre in a safe space right now.
No one else will hear us.
So, can you please tell me what happened to Mom?â
My father sighed heavily.
âWhat do you want to know?â
âI want to know how she died.
Why is my memory about her death so vague? And I also want to know about what you said earlier about being able to heal my friendâs scars.
Tell me everything.
