Clearly, even my father was swayed; his gaze settled on Debra with a new intensity.

Anxiety was eating me up inside.
If things kept going this way, there was no doubt Debra was going to meet her end.
I wracked my brain, desperate for a solution.

The pack residents deeply despised witches, and their anger wasn’t going to fade easily. Even if I tried to shield Debra, I doubted it would make a difference. The weight of public opinion was too heavy to ignore.
It looked like it was time to play my ace in the hole.
I inhaled sharply.
The only option left was to let out Roz Town’s secret about the antidote. This might be the only way the residents would recognize Debra’s sacrifices and consider releasing her.
As I watched Debra cornered by the crowd, my resolve hardened. So what if the Thorn Edge Pack’s biggest secret got out?
Secrets would be revealed eventually.

Besides, Roz Town had relocated here, and the factory was firmly under the control of my appointees. I no longer feared threats from other packs.
“Caleb!” My father figured out what I was planning. He was just as worried and came running to stop me. “You can’t say it!”

I intervened, placing a hand before my father. “I cannot stand by while Debra is unjustly accused. I must clear her name today, no matter the consequences.”
“Impossible!” My father’s face darkened with disapproval. However, his reaction came too late. By the time he moved to intercept me, I had already turned and stepped onto the platform.
In that moment, all eyes were on me.
From a short distance, my father could do nothing but watch as I revealed the Thorn Edge Pack’s most guarded secret.
“Ladies and gentlemen, due to the toxins in the foggy forest, our pack has suffered greatly from increased mortality at birth and weakened newborns. Even our adults have faced unprecedented health challenges. It wasn’t until the introduction of a certain antidote that we saw any relief.”
I paused, ensuring I had their full attention. “What you may not know is that this antidote’s key ingredient is sourced exclusively from Roz Town; a town you have ostracized, and whose representative you are quick to condemn. Yet, it is their antidote that has been your salvation.”
The revelation left the pack members in stunned silence, uncertain of how to respond.
My father, however, reacted differently. Upon hearing my words, he bellowed, “Caleb, you should not have divulged our pack’s deepest secret for a mere infatuation!”
I disregarded his outburst.
Luis had nearly taken my children’s lives, and in their moment of peril, my father remained silent. As my beloved faced wrongful condemnation, threatened with execution, he chose inaction, even complicity.
My father’s disapproval couldn’t deter me from acting to save Debra.
