I requested, “Dad, please help me investigate the situation with the Thorn Edge Pack and the witches. I can only stop Gale’s plan and prevent bigger disasters once I know the truth.”

“Well… I’ll consider it…” My father pondered deeply, resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Just as I was about to think that there was no hope, a spark lit up in his eyes. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Wait, I recall there’s a witch locked up in the Silver Ridge Pack’s dungeon. If we can convince her to talk, perhaps we’ll uncover some of the truth.”
My father’s words caught me off guard. I couldn’t resist asking, “Dad, when did a witch end up in the Silver Ridge Pack’s prison? How come I wasn’t aware?”

My question seemed to remind my father’s memory about something.
He sighed and replied with a bitter smile, “Your mother, before revealing her witch identity, secretly aided many witches. One of them goes by the name Camilla Alvarez. Due to her old age, your mother had her work as a cleaner in the villa to evade being hunted by werewolves.”
I acknowledged with a nod.
My mother had mentioned her assistance to other witches.
Curiously, I asked, “How did Camilla get imprisoned?”
My father was upfront and told me straight, “When I learned who your mom was, the Silver Ridge Pack became more strict on their witch hunts. They didn’t just keep a close eye on people coming in; they also searched the pack itself. So it wasn’t long before they figured out Camilla is a witch, and I had to lock her up in the dungeon.”
Debra’s POV:
“What ?”
My eyes widened in sheer astonishment.

Given his temperament, wouldn’t he have chosen to eliminate the witch to avert any future calamities?
Overwhelmed by surprise, I voiced my confusion spontaneously. “Dad, you despised witches back then, so why did you spare Camilla’s life instead of eliminating her? Why?”

ting smile. “It appears you’re quite familiar with my nature.”
He shared with a bitter smile, “Indeed, I had every intention of ending Camilla’s life, but your mother’s formidable display of power left me apprehensive she might seek vengeance. To safeguard against your mother’s potential return, I felt compelled to keep Camilla alive, confining her in the dungeon.”
Curious, I probed, “What happened next?”
This approach seemed uncharacteristic of my father.
As expected, he elaborated, “My plan was to extract your mother’s location from Camilla, but her loyalty was unwavering, and she disclosed nothing. Subsequently, my duties demanded my attention, and with Camilla causing no disturbances in the dungeon, I opted to retain her as leverage. Should your mother have threatened the Silver Ridge Pack, I intended to use Camilla as a bargaining chip. Over time, I gradually overlooked her presence in the dungeon.”
“I understand…” I found myself at a loss for words.
My father added, “Camilla has aged considerably. Rumors suggest she was once a formidable witch and has lived an extensive life. She might possess knowledge about the Thorn Edge Pack and the witches.”
“That’s great!” My enthusiasm ignited. “Dad, I implore you to allow me to meet her.”
