Caleb’s POV:

My father’s words echoed the sentiments of the elders, aligning himself with their cause.
As my father lent his support, the elders grew emboldened, their voices rising in unison. “Debra must be sentenced to life imprisonment. She poses a perpetual threat to our pack’s safety and must be confined for eternity. This is the only way.”
“I disagree.” A dissenting voice emerged from the consensus. “Life imprisonment might not be foolproof. What if she manages to escape?

Perhaps we should return her to the Xeric Pack and have them keep her under surveillance.”
But this suggestion was swiftly dismissed by another. “It’s useless; bad idea. Execution is the only surefire solution. Letting her Live will only invite further trouble upon us.”
My fists clenched, a blaze of fury flickering in my eyes Like wildfire.
Struggling to contain my seething anger, I addressed them with a dark stern face. “If you choose to execute Debra, then I shall die with her. Consider your decision carefully before proceeding.”
I knew that reasoning with them at this moment would be futile.
Desperate times called for drastic measures.
My serious declaration struck fear into the hearts of the elders, their expressions betraying their apprehension, just as I had anticipated.
After a pregnant pause, my father broke the tense silence. “The meeting is adjourned. I will reconsider Debra’s fate and reconvene in a few days’ time.”
With that, the heavy atmosphere lifted, replaced by a palpable sense of relief among the elders. Their smug satisfaction at my father’s decision only fueled my despair.
I seethed inwardly, a sense of hopelessness settling over me like a shroud.
Despite my vehement threats, my father remained obstinate, refusing to yield an inch. It was clear he was biding his time, entrenched in his own stubborn beliefs. To him, witches were a harbinger of disaster, and it was only a matter of time before he made a move against Debra.
The sentiment echoed through the elders gathered in the meeting room.
Their intentions were as grim as my father’s-they all sought Debra’s demise.
Fuming with frustration, I slammed the glass down, leaving the room without a backward glance. The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating, and I needed out.
On my way, I encountered Carlos and Sally.
“Caleb, we’ve been searching for you!” Sally rushed over, concern etched in her features. “How’s Debra? Are they going to let her go?”
“What about the elders?” Carlos asked. “Has your father relented, forgiven Debra for her secret?”
Rubbing my temples wearily, I relayed the grim news. “The elders aren’t on her side, and my father stands with them. Debra’s in danger. I don’t know what to do.”
Carlos’s eyes brimmed with regret.

Dropping his gaze, he apologized with heavy guilt weighing his words.
“Caleb, I’m sorry. If I’d destroyed the tape, Luis wouldn’t have had a chance to exploit it. None of this would have happened. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!”
With a deep pang of guilt, he raised his hand, poised to slap himself. I intervened swiftly, shaking my head in disapproval. “No need for that. Blame isn’t yours to bear. As long as Luis is onto Debra’s secret, he’ll stop at nothing to unveil she’s a witch. His determination is relentless, and sooner or later, he’ll succeed.”
Sally’s voice softened with concern as she sighed. “Is there anything we can do for you, Caleb? Just say the word, and we’ll lend a hand, whatever it takes.”
A pregnant pause hung in the air as I contemplated. Suddenly, a resolve sparked within me. There was an unfinished matter that I had to attend to. Meeting their eyes, I replied, “Thank you, but not now.
However, I do need your presence as witnesses for one crucial matter.”
