Technically, this was the first official meeting between the two families ever since I got engaged to Caleb.

I felt a little uneasy for some reason, and my heart banged in my chest nervously.
Debra’s POV:
Spread out on the table were many delicious dishes.

Jenifer had really delivered when it came to being a hostess. One could see that a lot of care had been put into the preparation of all the dishes, because they all looked and smelled good.
When the two families sat down, Caleb’s father spoke up first.
“Mr. Clarkson, to be completely honest, I’m a little surprised to see you here today.”
This sentence didn’t sound aggressive or anything, so my father didn’t think too much and asked good-naturedly, “What do you mean?
Caleb’s father explained honestly, “I’ve heard that Debra’s father is the Alpha of the Silver Ridge Pack, but I also heard that your relationship was bad, so she was exiled. Later, Gale took her in, and she joined the Xeric Pack. Caleb’s mother and I didn’t think to invite you into our home because we considered this.”
The atmosphere dropped several degrees. Caleb’s father continued, “When I heard that you came to visit us, I was worried that you were looking for trouble. I never thought that you actually came here to help Debra. Because from what everyone can see, the relationship between you and your daughter is strained at best, and non-existent at worst.”
Truth be told, I was impressed.
As the former Alpha of the Thorn Edge Pack, Caleb’s father was a good diplomat. His words seemed to be just idle chitchat, but in fact, he was testing my father’s attitude as well as defending me in the process.
However, he managed to phrase it in a way that was objective and hard to refute.
As expected, my father’s expression darkened considerably.
He said coldly, “No matter how bad our relationship is, Debra’s still my daughter.”
Caleb’s father nodded and fell into thoughtful silence for a while.

“Is that the reason why you came here? To help Debra by humiliating Luis?”
“That’s exactly why I came,” my father confirmed.
“I just wanted everyone to know that insulting Debra means insulting the Silver Ridge Pack. And if the Thorn Edge Pack is willing to treat her well, then the Silver Ridge Pack will be your biggest ally.”
Caleb’s father broke into a smile.
“I see.”
As he spoke, he raised his glass to my father and said sincerely, “I’ve always been very fond of Debra. She has done really well here.
I just know she’ll make a great Luna, and I’m sure there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate with the Silver Ridge Pack.”
My father also smiled and clinked glasses with Caleb’s father.
