This terrified everyone.
Even your parents couldnât believe it.
âWellâ¦â I didnât know what to say, because this was something that was out of Debraâs and my control.
âWhat are my parentsâ thoughts about it?â
Carlos stepped closer and replied in a low voice, âThey have their doubts, but theyâre not certain.
Iâm the only one who knows with certainty that Debra saved you.
Caleb, this proves that Debraâs witch power can now even control life and death.
â
âLife and death?â I scowled.
This ability felt familiar to me.
âYes.
â Carlos wore a complex expression.
âAccording to the Thorn Edge Packâs records, only the first Swamp Witch, who collaborated with Alpha Rick, possessed such power.
This also proves Debraâs identity.
Caleb, I think your parents might suspect her.

My heart plummeted.
Carlos never made unfounded conjectures.
Something must have happened.
I asked anxiously, âDid my parents make any comments about Debra?â
Carlos denied.
âThey havenât said anything yet, but some rumors have been circulating in the pack.
Iâve been doing my best to quash them these past few days.
But thatâs not a long-term solution.
I think this trouble will always hang over our heads.
â
Carlos met my eyes and added ominously, âItâs difficult to stop rumors.
As long as people are around, rumors will also stay.
You need to prepare yourself.
Iâm afraid you wonât be able to conceal Debraâs identity for long.
Once this truth comes out, the consequences will be unimaginable!â
My heart went into a freefall again.
I knew this would happen after Debra used her power to save me.
Her identity was like a ticking time bomb that could go off any second.
I didnât know the reason, but at this moment, Alpha Rickâs words from when I was dying came back to me.
What did he mean by asking me to amend his mistakes? Did he regret killing the witches?
I considered every angle and felt like the matter was way too complicated.
If that was really the case, the history of the witch seducing and controlling Alpha Rick was utterly false.
So what went down that year?
Why did the Swamp Witches loathe the Thorn Edge Pack so much that they continued taking revenge on it to this day?
âDamien, what should I do?â
Too many questions remained unanswered, and I could feel a headache coming on.
This agitation muddled up my brain, making me extremely irritable.
Damien grumbled, âDoesnât it make more sense to visit Debra first?
