What’s the latest, Debra?” my father asked with a palpable sense of concern. “I’ve caught wind of turbulence within the Thorn Edge Pack.

Are you alright? Could you shed some light on the recent troubles afflicting the Thorn Edge Pack?”
I found myself momentarily taken aback.
The news had spread like wildfire, reaching even my father’s ears.

Yet, my intention was never to divulge the internal strife involving the Barton family’s insurrection in the Thorn Edge Pack. After all, it was an internal matter tied to Caleb’s leadership, and my father was an outsider in that regard. Hence, it felt rather improper to unburden this situation onto my father.
Putting on a facade of composure, I responded, “Both Caleb and I are on good terms. We’ve successfully quelled the turbulence. No need for unnecessary worry.”
“But the word on the street is..

“Dad!” I interjected before he could continue, offering reassurance.
“No need for alarm. It’s not as dire as they say. Caleb and I have resolved it. Should we require any assistance, I’ll be sure to reach out.”
My father was dissatisfied, his astute nature undoubtedly discerning my hidden agenda.
His tone grew somber as he voiced his discontent. “Debra, why do you have to keep me in the dark about the exact situation? I’ve already gathered from others that the Thorn Edge Pack is embroiled in a grave crisis. Don’t treat me as if I were a stranger. I’m your father!”

Our discussion escalated to the brink of a quarrel.
At that precise moment, Caleb happened to stroll past us, taking note of my foul mood. Concern etched across his face, he inquired, “Debra, what’s troubling you? Who’s the cause of your distress?”
“Caleb?” My father’s keen ears immediately recognized Caleb’s voice.
Without hesitation, he requested, “Debra, please pass the phone to Caleb. I have a matter to discuss with him.”
Uncertain of my father’s intentions regarding Caleb, especially after our heated exchange, I reluctantly handed over the phone and said, “Caleb, my father wishes to speak with you.”
Without batting an eye, Caleb engaged in the conversation, his tone polite as he inquired, “Mr. Clarkson, how may I be of service?”
The moment that followed, however, froze the amicable expression on Caleb’s face.
