Revealing our pack’s secret for her sake might seem selfish, but true loyalty doesn’t mean sacrificing someone for the sake of secrecy.

Nobody should be a sacrificial offering.
Surveying the crowd, I noted their stunned silence, a testament to the weight of my revelation.
Their astonishment was palpable, underscoring the gravity of what I had disclosed.

Thus, I proceeded, “Before its evacuation, Roz Town was under Adam’s control-a man driven by greed. He planned to betray Gale, disregarding the well-being of Roz Town’s inhabitants to profit at their expense. Debra, then a mere secretary, was tasked by Gale with gathering evidence against him.”
The memory of the past rushed into my mind like flowing water. It was so clear that it seemed that everything had happened yesterday.
“To thwart Adam’s plans of selling Roz Town and to save its people from displacement, Debra embarked on a perilous journey, risking her life in the process. Her efforts were solely for the preservation of Roz Town, placing its well-being above her own safety. My own dealings with Adam were aimed at securing the antidote for our pack.
Initially, Debra, unaware of the antidote’s significance to the Thorn Edge Pack, was hesitant to collaborate, leading to our disagreements.
It was only upon gaining mutual trust that she understood its importance and, concerned for our people, agreed to help.”
The memory of Debra’s fiery intelligence and spontaneity brought an involuntary smile to my face.
I then shared the sacrifices made.
“Regrettably, since Roz Town belongs to the Xeric Pack and its inhabitants have roots there from childhood, they were initially reluctant to relocate, even after I offered favorable terms in the contract. Thus, to appease the community, Debra agreed to a contract of marriage with me.”

“Your marriage was a transaction?” A voice from the crowd pierced the air.
“Yes,” I admitted, my voice steady. “Though Debra harbored feelings for me, her distrust, warranted by my former frivolity, made her hesitant. She didn’t want to marry me back then.”
I scanned the crowd, taking in their varied reactions.
“Yet, to secure the antidote for the Thorn Edge Pack and to guarantee Roz Town’s prosperity and stability, she was prepared to forego her own happiness. If she were truly malevolent, why would she commit so profoundly, even to the extent of sacrificing her personal joy?”
A hush enveloped the crowd, their silence speaking volumes, punctuated only by the sound of their breaths.
Yet, I felt compelled to add, “Consider this, if Debra had intentions to undermine the Thorn Edge Pack as Luis suggested, she wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. She could simply use the antidote as leverage to exert control over us, much Like Luis attempted. If possession of the antidote equated to power, she had no reason to engage in such elaborate acts of sacrifice.”
The pack members’ mood shifted as they processed my words, their earlier agitation giving way to contemplation.
They had acted under the influence of Luis’ manipulative narrative about witches, not out of inherent malice.
Debra’s selfless actions stirred a change in their hearts.
My father remained silent.
Then, unexpectedly, a pack member voiced, “Alpha, we’re open to embracing the people of Roz Town. However, we still harbor reservations about accepting a witch as our Luna.”
Disappointment weighed heavily on me. Before I could formulate a response, my father concurred, “Indeed, our distrust towards witches runs deep. It’s prudent to detain Debra for now.”
