It would take forever to cut down all of the trees.
And the forest was the protective barrier of the Thorn Edge Pack.
If the forest was to be destroyed, their safest, most reliable barrier of natural protection would be utterly gone.
The cost wasnât worth it.
As I tried to find a way out of this mess, Sally piped up, âDoes the forest really have the ghosts of the witches inside, Debra?â
I shook my head.
âI donât know.
But the forest is related to the witches, so I should be able to deal with it.
â
âBut thereâs no evidence, right? What if itâs all just a coincidence?â
I didnât answer her question, my mind suddenly seized with a memory, something my mother had said to me.
She said Iâd bear the burden of a difficult fate, straining under it.
Was this the beginning of the difficult fate that she had predicted?
Carefully, I laid the events down in my head, everything had happened recently, and said seriously, âSally, I believe Moon Goddess has an intention to arrange me to be Calebâs mate.
Iâm the child of a werewolf and a witch.
Maybe this is my fate and I donât want to escape.
I want to face it.
â
Sally wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight, saying softly, âI know youâre kind and stubborn.
If you donât go in there this time, and something happens to the people of Roz Town, youâll live in self-blame and pain for the rest of your life.
So I choose to support you, Debra.
â
âThank you, Sally!â
I hugged her back, relief and joy flooding my veins.
I assumed Sally would disagree with me, just like Caleb and the others.
However, after learning the truth, she chose to believe in me.
It filled me with strength and joy and hope, elation bubbling in my body.
âSilly girl, donât thank me.
â
Sally took a step back and shook her head, a smile on her face.
She drew an invitation letter out from her pocket and gave it to me.

âI brought this for you.
Debra, I hope you can save the people of Roz Town and come back to attend my wedding.
You will do it successfully, wonât you?â
There was a chic, small pattern on the invitation letter, elegant and cute.
It must be designed by Sally herself.
Even without leafing through the contents, I knew it was a wedding invitation from Sally and Carlos.
It made me feel a little sad.
I didnât know if Iâd be coming back alive to attend the wedding.
I tried to be relaxed, mustering up a smile.
Sniffling slightly, I said with a nod, âOkay! I will!â
âWell, goodbye!â
âBye!â
Sally waved at me with a smile, turned around and left reluctantly.
