“I’LL kill you and your child, Debra. Trust that I’LL kill you! You’re both a shame to me and the Silver Ridge Pack. You have to die!”
Then my father morphed into a wolf and pounced on me, his sharp teeth bared at me ferociously.
“Get away from me! No!”
I woke up all of a sudden, cold sweat dripping down my forehead.
“What happened? Were you having a nightmare?”
In a daze, I looked in the direction of the voice and found Caleb staring at me worriedly. I also saw that I was holding his hand tightly.
“Oh, God! Sorry!” I immediately withdrew my hand in embarrassment. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the hand I was holding was already bruising. It seemed I had held onto him for dear life while I was asleep.
Caleb didn’t seem to mind. He simply said I thought another assassin somehow made it in here.”
“I woke up to you screaming.
Recalling that terrible dream, my heart banged in my chest, pumping blood through my veins vigorously. “It was nothing. Just a nightmare.”
“I think you’re in danger,” Caleb said seriously. Then he suddenly whipped out his phone. “Give me your number. That way, you can call me if anything happens. I’ll go to you as soon as possible.”
“What’s the point?” I asked, shaking my head. “If I was in danger, by the time you arrived, my dead body would‘ve gone cold already.”
Caleb narrowed his eyes at me. “This is an order. If you don’t give me your number, I won’t let you leave this room.”

“Are you threatening me?” I asked incredulously.
“Yes.” He nodded.
Caleb’s shameless behavior surprised me. After some slight hesitation, I finally caved and exchanged phone numbers with him.
Just then, Carlos knocked on the door and came in.
When he saw me, he looked embarrassed again. But when he saw Caleb, he quickly regained his composure and reported the situation to him.
“I’m sorry. I failed to catch him.”
“What?” Caleb asked in dissatisfaction.
“Just when I thought I was going to catch up to him, he led me to a dead end and disappeared. It seemed he was very familiar with this place.”
His words made me feel strange. How could someone from the Silver Ridge Pack be so familiar with Roz Town?
