Despite his protest, the patrol team, burdened by their biases, did not accept Caleb’s argument.

The middle-aged man stated, “Alpha, if someone intends to commit murder, it only takes moments. When we arrived, the victim’s body was still warm. Even if Luna did not kill him, she is undoubtedly connected to his death, and we cannot release her under any circumstances!”
The youngest one boldly challenged Caleb’s authority as Alpha and said, “Alpha, if we let Luma go today and someone else dies later, can you take responsibility for that?”
Debra’s POV:

Caleb was visibly shocked by the challenge.
However, his response only deepened the patrol team’s misinterpretation.
The man who appeared to be the leader, with a beard of stubble, had been relatively quiet, only occasionally contributing.
As the confrontation escalated, he could no longer stay silent and stood up with a grave expression.
After glancing at me and then at Caleb, he said, “Alpha, if you can’t guarantee that no one else will be harmed, how can you justify releasing a suspect so quickly? You should not show partiality towards Debra just because she is your wife and our Luna while ignoring the safety of others. Even if she is not the culprit, her presence at the crime scene warrants an investigation. If she truly is innocent, we will surely let her return.”
“Exactly!” The younger man echoed, his voice filled with frustration.
“Alpha, you’ve always been just and strict. Why do you seem so partial now? Could it be true, as the former Alpha suggested, that you’ve been enchanted by the witch?”
“What absurdity is this!”

Caleb’s look became intense, his veins stood out, and his eyes reddened, his presence becoming quite formidable.
The patrol team was slightly daunted by his formidable demeanor.
Nevertheless, they remained resolute and did not waver.
Both sides stood their ground, creating a standoff. The tension in the air was palpable.
How had it come to this?
I frowned deeply, overwhelmed with frustration.
The real culprit was still at large, yet here we were, caught up in internal conflict. It seemed unlikely that this tension would be resolved quickly.
If Caleb continued to argue with the patrol team, it might only worsen the misunderstandings and cause the members of the Thorn Edge Pack to further resent me as their Luna, potentially impacting the witches as well.
After much consideration, I finally intervened, “I reject your accusations. I am innocent, and the real perpetrator is someone else. However, I am ready to cooperate with your investigation and answer any questions.”
Hearing this, Caleb grew worried. “My dear, this situation has nothing to do with you. Why should you be investigated? I absolutely oppose this.”
He looked at my abdomen and added with concern, “Moreover, you are pregnant. How can you consider going to a detention center? What if something happens? A detention center is no place for a pregnancy.”
I offered Caleb a comforting smile.
