“Calm yourself; Riley is experiencing a change of heart. It’s crucial not to reveal yourself at this moment,” Caleb cautioned in a hushed tone.

My teeth ground against each other with an almost unbearable force.
I finally understood why he’d chosen to come now. He had intentionally selected this opportune moment to prevent any chance of my disputing his claims of my being Luna.
Riley’s face brimmed with satisfaction as she read the agreement. A nod accompanied her smile, and she declared, “This scheme appears feasible to me.”

“As long as you are satisfied.” Caleb let out a relieved exhale.
Riley added, “However, you must swear to keep this information secret for now. The matter must be brought before the leaders of our town.
Only after the residents have had the opportunity to cast their votes will we proceed with signing the contract.”
Caleb frowned.
“Isn’t it a little troublesome?”
Riley reassured, “Fear not. If Debra assumes responsibility for the subsequent proceedings, I am confident that the residents will wholeheartedly support the decision. She has earned their trust and admiration.”
Though I remained silent, my heart seethed with a torrent of curses directed at Caleb.
I glared at him with an intensity that could melt steel, willing myself to quell the seething rage brewing within my chest.
Bastard! How dare he unilaterally determine my destiny as Luna without so much as a word from me?

My sanity teetered on the edge of oblivion, but I feared that allowing my emotions to spill would sway Riley’s judgment. ALL I could do was extend my hand beneath the table, pinching Caleb’s thigh.
“Of course.” Caleb uttered, enduring the excruciating pain with a forced smile directed at Riley.
“Debra is the chosen Luna of the Thorn
Edge Pack, and she possesses partial governance over Roz Town. She has already proven herself by saving the town, making her the most suitable candidate to oversee this entire affair.”
Debra’s POV:
“Okay, that’s it.” Riley declared abruptly, leaving me no room to hesitate. With an air of composure, she proceeded to make the next set of arrangements. “I shall hold onto these documents for now. They will serve as the topic of discussion during the next meeting with the leaders. You may leave now. I will do everything in my power to persuade them. If successful, I shall entrust the matter to Debra.”
“Understood. Thank you, Riley.”
Caleb then whisked me away, leading us out of Riley’s line of sight.
No longer bound by pretense, a somber expression flashed across my face.
Caleb tried to pull me into the car with an insistent tug, but I stood my ground, refusing to budge. Curious gazes from passersby fixated on our standoff. Realizing my unwavering determination, he had no choice but to employ a mellower tone, coaxing me softly, “It’s time to pick
Elena up.”
I said nothing.
