“I believe in what I feel,” Caleb said firmly.
His words amused me. I couldn’t help but ask defiantly, “Really? Then why didn’t you feel it five years ago?”
This rendered Caleb speechless.
He frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that he couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation. Like a child who had done something wrong, he chose to Lower his head and keep silent.
I sneered, turned around, and walked away.
“Hey, what’re you doing? You feel the same way he does. Why are you walking away from him?” Ivy, my wolf, complained. “Running away won’t solve anything. Since you’re mates, you should face these challenges together. Caleb is the mate that Moon Goddess has chosen for yo
It seemed that in Ivy’s world, nothing was more important than uniting with one’s mate.

It was as though she had completely forgotten all the pain and suffering this man had caused us. But I wasn’t as forgiving.
“Ivy, do you forget what happened to us?” I said to her angrily. “If Caleb had admitted that we were mates at the very beginning, I wouldn’t have been exiled from the pack and Vicky wouldn’t have died. It was useless for him to admit it now. It wouldn’t change what happened five years ago. It wouldn’t bring Vicky back! Even if he is my mate, I won’t forgive him!”
Ivy lowered her voice and whimpered, “But it looks like he just found out about it. Maybe there’s been some kind of misunderstanding?”
“Whatever the case, it’s none of my business. Would you want a victim to forgive their murderer?” I felt very upset, so I ignored Ivy and blocked out her complaints.
When I got back to our apartment, I found Harlan sitting on the sofa, waiting for me. He probably saw the distress in my eyes and guessed that I had a quarrel with Caleb.
But he didn’t ask me anything about Caleb. Instead, he brought up the mission. “Things are moving too slowly. We have to pick up the pace. What’s our next step?”
I ran my fingers through my hair and tried to think. After a while, I suddenly thought of the crazy woman in the police station.
“We have to investigate Emily, that pregnant woman at the station earlier.”
Was what Emily said true? Was Adam going to sell Roz Town?
Debra’s POV:
Raindrops started to fall from the dark clouds in the sky, wetting the flying birds passing by. Gradually, the cold, harsh wind began to pick up.
A huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating Gale’s face. She was standing front of my bed. “Debra, you betrayed me. You betrayed the Xeric Pack! You ungrateful bitch! I’ll kill you!”
Her beautiful face was distorted with anger. Suddenly, her hand shot out and choked me, her slender fingers wrapped around my neck.
I couldn’t breathe and struggled desperately. When I turned my head, I saw Vicky standing next to my bed, covered in blood. She kept crying, “My dear child, how could you forget about my death so soon? Have you forgotten why we were exiled from the pack?”
Her disappointed, resentful gaze was Like a poisonous knife, stabbing at my heart ruthlessly.
