Despite the dilapidation of the town, this restaurant was relatively luxurious, and there were only a few people present. It was very quiet. Caleb and I chose a table near the window with the least customers around.
I felt very uneasy while waiting for the food to be served.
Today, Caleb was wearing a white shirt, which made his blond hair look even more dazzling. The top two buttons on his shirt were undone, exposing his chiseled collarbone and well-defined chest. I couldn’t help but recall the night we had made passionate love to each other.
“Babe, you feel so good…” The flirtatious, sensual words he said that night seemed to still echo in my ears today.
Perhaps it was because of the mate bond that Caleb’s scent always fascinated me. I longed for him to hold me, touch me, and do more than that.

But Caleb, on the other hand, Looked completely calm. He didn’t seem to have any ounce of desire for me.
It was so weird. Why was it always so one-sided? Weren’t we supposed to be mates?
“Could there be something wrong?” I asked Ivy unhappily.
Whenever Caleb was around, Ivy would be very restless. She suggested, “Aren’t you alone with him now? Just ask him point-blank!”
Yes, maybe just asking him about it was the solution. Only Caleb knew the answer to my question.
“Mr. Wright-“
But before I could get another word out, Caleb interrupted me and said, “Debra, name your price.”
Caleb’s POV:
“What?” Debra looked a little stunned, as though she didn’t understand what I meant.
“I said, mame your price. Tell me, who hired you? What’s their purpose?” I went straight to the point.
Debra’s eyes widened. She seemed a little nervous and shifty, but she reiterated what she had said before, “I told you. I just wanted to start over in a new place.”
“Really? I don’t believe you.” I was in no mood to beat around the bush. “Neither of us are fools, Debra. Stop pretending and just name your price.”
Debra froze and didn’t say anything. She twiddled her thumbs and Looked hesitant, as though she was thinking about something. Seeing this, I sneered, “Why are you still hesitating? I’m willing to pay you more money than whatever your employer’s giving you. After all, you’re just a prostitute who’s willing to give up your virginity in exchange for money.”
The shame of being blackmailed right after our one-night stand still stung.
So I didn’t think that what I was doing was an insult to her.
I was eager to find out Debra’s true purpose, because I had only come to Roz Town to buy all the land here. I had to make sure everything went smoothly.
Adam betrayed Gale and was going to sell Roz Town. This Land was located at the junction of several packs and was of great value, so many packs coveted Roz Town. Adam was cunning. He had secretly sent the news to many Alphas. It was more like an auction than a sale, but everything was done behind the back of the Xeric Pack’s Alpha.
