aleb looked mildly taken aback, his surprise evident in his raised eyebrows.

“Yes. But I thought you said that just to distract her.”
“It’s true.” A bitter smile crept across my lips as the haunting memory flooded my thoughts once more.
“Back then, I was carrying twins, and labor had become a dreadful ordeal. I thought the baby boy was dead and I became depressed. The grief almost killed me. I just took a quick look at the body and then looked away. I couldn’t bring myself to go near him.”

Caleb’s face gradually hardened, his voice taking on a grave tone.
His throat moved as he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. He asked in a raspy voice, “So, you’re telling me you didn’t lie to me when we crossed paths in Roz Town?”
“That’s right.” I admitted with a sigh.
“That’s why I couldn’t forgive you. I believed we were both haunted by the tragedy of that baby boy.”
Caleb’s POV:
Debra’s words sent me plunging into an endless, frigid ocean. The blood in my veins congealed, and my heart felt as if it had been seized by a large hand, threatening to shatter it into countless fragments. Agony and guilt threatened to engulf me entirely.
I finally came to the stark realization of my foolishness.
I had always assumed that Debra had not had endured the same pain as other expectant mothers of the Thorn Edge Pack. Typically, babies born in the Thorn Edge Pack tended to be frail, plagued by a sickness like Dylan’s. Yet, Elena defied these expectations. She was vivacious, enjoyed robust health, and was full of boundless energy.
In my opinion, Debra should have experienced an effortless delivery.
But I was wrong.
I now understood that Debra had experienced a labor riddled with hardship, and she had even endured the torment of losing one of her babies.
It came as no surprise that the doctor had expressed concerns about her fragile health. In the Thorn Edge Pack, a pregnant woman battled excruciating labor pains, even though her mate stood beside her. I couldn’t help but wonder how much agony Debra had endured all by herself. I feared for her life, thinking she had come perilously close to losing it.
My heart ached severely.

In those days, I denied any connection between Debra and myself. Her own father had banished her from the pack, and Marley’s relentless pursuit had driven her to the brink. Without her mate’s support, she endured immense suffering and eventually gave birth to two babies, albeit losing one of them in the process.
The thought of her pain was unbearable.
I clung to Debra, my arms wrapped around her, my guilt washing over me in a tidal wave.
Tears welled up as I choked out an apology.
“I’m so sorry, Debra. I truly am!”
It was becoming increasingly apparent to me just how despicable I had been in those days. I had failed to recognize Debra as my mate.
Instead, I had callously regarded her as something she was not, even resorting to humiliating her when she needed help the most.
