I nodded and managed to force a smile, but deep down, I felt sick to my stomach.
Invite him?
The man who sexually harassed me in the workplace and forced me to become Janiya’s slave? The man who cheated on his wife countless times yet had the audacity to beat her?
What a disgusting, hypocritical bastard!
“What the hell is going on?” Janiya demanded, staring at Caleb in disbelief.
Obviously, she also noticed that I had marked him. Her face was pale and she was clearly on the verge of breaking down. “How could you let yourself be marked by this fucking bitch, Caleb?”
Her attention was completely diverted from the matter of Caleb’s poisoning.
She just angrily asked, “Adam, Debra is the daughter of a lowly prostitute. How could she deserve to be your Luna?”
Debra’s POV:
Angela’s Library
“What does it matter?” Caleb said firmly, holding my hand tightly.
“Janiya, I love Debra. I don’t mind where she came from, nor do I care that she has a child with another man. Nothing can stop us from getting married.”
The look in his eyes was sincere as he spoke. I could tell that this was not an act, but a sincere expression of his love for me.
Touched, my heart felt as warm as a cozy mug of hot chocolate.
But I knew better than anyone that the only thing that was stopping us from being together was Roz Town, not my past.
Reality slapped me in the face and I quickly sobered up from the sweetness.
Janiya was so angry that she almost collapsed on the spot. She probably knew that she couldn’t change his mind, so she turned to Adam for help.
“Adam, didn’t you just say that there’s a traitor? It has to be Debra—”
Once again, Janiya was interrupted mid-sentence, this time by a knock on the door.
It was Carlos.
When he came in, he walked very fast and looked very serious, as though something extremely important had come up.
“I’m sorry to bother you, Adam, but may I have a word with my Alpha?”
He nodded to Adam in a respectful manner.
“Please give me two minutes.
It’s important.”
Adam agreed, but not completely. “You can talk right here.”
