Trying my best to keep a clear head, I asked, “Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”
The killer replied, “You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that someone hired me to kill you.”
Then he Looked at me carefully and mused, “But you took me by surprise. I never would’ve thought that a fragile-looking she-wolf like you would actually be so difficult to deal with.”
I stared at him and said grimly, “At least let me die without any doubts. Is the one who hired you from the Silver Ridge Pack?”
The killer nodded. “Yes.”
After answering this question, he stopped wasting time with me and was about to make a move.

Just when death loomed over me like a suffocating shadow, the door opened.
“Debra, didn’t you say that you’d move tonight?”
Caleb’s annoyed voice came from the door.
My eyes lit up with hope. I was saved!
The killer was stunned by Caleb’s sudden intrusion. Without a moment to lose, I shouted in a hurry, “Help me, Caleb!”
The killer’s expression changed. He moved his hand ruthlessly and swung the blade toward me.
But Caleb reacted fast. He rushed over like a gust of wind and slammed into the masked man.
The knife was knocked out of his hand and clattered to the floor.
Caleb then turned around and held me tightly. His warm and powerful embrace dispelled all the fear in my heart in an instant.
Debra’s POV: Everything happened so fast. It was only when I heard Caleb’s heart beating wildly in his chest that I realized I was saved.
The killer, who had been knocked to the floor, spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up against the wall, all the while eyeing us coldly.
Just then, Carlos rushed in. “What happened?” he asked in bewilderment. He glanced at me and Caleb and instantly realized that something was wrong.
Carlos then shifted his gaze to the masked man. “It seems that someone’s courting death.”
Both Caleb and Carlos were strong werewolves that exuded oppressive, domineering auras. The killer knew he was no match for the two of them.
Without giving us the chance to retaliate, he suddenly morphed into a brown wolf and smashed the window with his ferocious paw.
He then leapt through the broken window, escaping the hotel room.
