Before exiting the forest, Caleb stationed several guards at its perimeter, anticipating the mysterious figureâs emergence.
Despite keeping vigilant watch for several days, he remained elusive.
We couldnât ascertain if he had escaped or met his end within the misty woods.
Unfortunately, this lead slipped through our fingers for the time being.
Upon our return to the Thorn Edge Pack, Caleb and I organized a modest farewell for Denise.
We discovered a serene spot for her final rest, crafting an unmarked tombstone in her honor.
That day, Dylan seemed to sense Deniseâs absence and asked, âDad, Mom, whereâs Denise?â

Naturally, we concealed the tragic truth from him.
âShe managed to escape from prison.
Her whereabouts are unknown.
â
Dylan cast his gaze downward, a tinge of disappointment in his eyes.
âOkay.
Can you stop hunting her and just let her be? I donât think sheâll return to the Thorn Edge Pack and disrupt our family in the future.
â
I clung to Dylan tightly.
I knew his feelings for Denise were incredibly tangled.
Regardless of her flaws, she had raised him for many years.
During Dylanâs severe illness, Denise had taken care of him.
Their past relationship was more than just a simple mix of love and hatred.
I consoled Dylan.
âDylan, youâre incredible.
You possess the ability to forgive at such a young age.
Moreover, your kindness and love havenât faded despite enduring so much over the years.
Youâre doing better than many adults.

Debraâs POV:
After Deniseâs passing, Caleb and I tended to Dylan in the hospital for a few days.
Despite Dylanâs health no longer taking a turn for the worse, his recovery was agonizingly slow, leaving him weaker than his peers.

Anxiety gripped us both, and we had no alternative but to patiently await Brianâs return with the latest updates on the medication from Roz Town.
Regrettably, Carlos came with a piece of bad news.
âCaleb, Debra, something bad happened!â Carlos exclaimed, his face grave.
âThe second batch of Roz Town residents set out yesterday.
Once they reached the Thorn Edge Packâs border, they disappeared into the foggy forest without a trace.
Brian and Melany are among them!â
âWhat ?â
My heart raced, and a sense of dread washed over me.
