With that, he moved to leave. “Debra, I attended your Luna announcement ceremony and saw your joy. I must go now, but remember, you can always call on me. I’ll be here if you need me.”

Debra’s POV:
“Dad…”
I wanted to say more, but my dad had already turned around and walked to the door.

The sunlight cast his long shadow on the floor, and his waving hand seemed to say goodbye without words. After lowering his hand, he walked away.
Watching my dad’s figure shrink in the distance, I felt a lump in my throat.
Whenever we argued or misunderstood each other before, I always wished I could see inside his head. Back then, I couldn’t grasp how Dad could just move on from Mom and be with another woman, even badmouthing Mom at times.
But once we cleared up all the misunderstandings, it hurt to see him so tormented by Mom’s death.
I watched his tall silhouette disappear for a long while before turning to Caleb, confused. “Caleb, did I mess up?”
‘s
Caleb shook his head. He gave me a serious look and reassured, “No, you didn’t mess up. Actually, I think you handled it well.”
Still unsure, I muttered, “But my dad looked so guilty…”
Caleb rubbed my hand and explained with patience, “He misunderstood his wife and it led to her death. It’s natural he feels guilty. But don’t worry. Your dad is a strong man, and he’s been through similar situations. He’s tough. Right now, he just can’t move past it and needs a way to let out his feelings. Because if he doesn’t do anything, it’ll just make him more upset. So, you can let him work through his guilt with peace of mind.”
I sighed deeply.

“I’m just worried that he’ll feel too guilty. In the last few years, Marley caused trouble in the Silver Ridge Pack. It wasn’t easy for him, and his grey hair has increased quite a bit. He cleared up the misunderstanding with me, but my mom’s death hit him hard. I think it’ll take him a long time to recover.”
Caleb reached out to rub my head and soothed me. “It’s okay. Your dad has been the Alpha for many years. He’ll get past this eventually. Try not to worry too much.”
I nodded, feeling somewhat powerless.
Truly, in this situation, overthinking was pointless, and my dad had his own way of handling things.
After calming down, I suddenly realized someone was missing from the announcement ceremony earlier. I asked, “By the way, darling, where is Riley? I haven’t seen her since I got back to the Thorn Edge, She wasn’t at the announcement ceremony either. Where could she be?”
I tried to remember the last time I saw Riley, and a chill ran through me. “Did Gale…?”
The thought was too horrifying to finish. I couldn’t even bring myself to say “kill her.”
Logically, I knew the battle had been chaotic, and it wasn’t unusual for people to get killed. But the thought of my good friend being dead was something I couldn’t bear.
“Riley?” Caleb heard the concern in my voice, furrowed his brow, but then reassured me. “Don’t worry. Riley is fine. During the war, Gale was too busy trying to kill us and paid no mind to Riley and Luca. They escaped when they woke up.”
Hearing this, I finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
Feeling confused, I asked, “So where are Riley and Luca now? Why haven’t they shown up for so long?”
