Debra’s POV:
๐€โถล๏ฝแปืฉ๏ผฅ๐๏ฝ.ฤ๐๐ช
I couldn’t help but cast a wary eye at Bella’s retreating figure.
She was obviously hiding something.
Turning to Caleb, I muttered, “There’s definitely something off about Bella. She seemed so flustered when I mentioned her husband.”

Caleb gave a solemn nod. “You’re onto something there. Based on the information we’ve gathered, something’s wrong with Jackson. He’s got plenty of experience in guiding people, and it doesn’t make sense for him to make such a rookie mistake. There’s a chance he intentionally led those people astray.”
Confused, I asked, “But why on earth would he do that? Bella assured me her husband was a good man. Jackson isn’t the type to pull off such a despicable thing. Why did he take the wrong path and nearly risk his own life?”
After a moment of contemplation, Caleb speculated, “If I had to guess, it’s likely that Jackson was following orders from someone else. The individuals pulling the strings behind him must have seen this as an opportunity to eliminate the residents of Roz Town, sabotaging the relocation plan and severing the ties between the Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town.”
I was silent.
It was the most plausible explanation we had come up with so far.
I couldn’t shake the unease settling in my gut. “It’s becoming evident that this situation is not as simple as it looks. All these unfortunate events happening in such quick succession can’t just be a string of coincidences. I’m sure there’s a connection between them.
What do you plan to do, Caleb?”
Caleb had clearly been pondering this, and he responded cautiously, “I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided not to question Jackson right away, to avoid alerting the enemy. If Jackson was threatened to be involved in this scheme, we have to tread carefully. Acting impulsively could backfire, and we might end up with the opposite of what we want. The best approach is to discreetly monitor Jackson and identify the person who contacted him for further investigation.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?” I offered.

“No.” Caleb shook his head, declining my offer. “Debra, you must listen to Melany. You need to rest and recover as quickly as possible. The kids miss you so much. I’m afraid we can’t keep the truth from them much longer.”
I paused for a moment and conceded reluctantly.
I had indeed been in a coma for a while, and our children were clever enough to suspect something was amiss. To shield them from the harsh reality and prevent them from being terrified, I resigned myself to lying back on the bed and continuing my much-needed rest.
On the second day, as the first light of dawn painted the sky with shades of grey and orange, Melany burst into the room in a hurry, dragging Caleb along with her. “Debra, you’ve got to keep an eye on this one!”
I lifted my gaze, taking in the irate expression on Melany’s face and the nonchalant look on Caleb’s. Curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on? What did he do?”
Melany, clearly annoyed, fired back, “Caleb just spent a few days in the hospital, and he thought it would be a brilliant idea to sneak out. Thankfully, I caught him in the act and brought him back, or he’d be long gone by now. He should be resting in bed.”
I was taken aback for a moment and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Caleb had been asking me to rest, but he wasn’t taking his own advice.
Caleb, a little indignant, retorted, “Why can’t I leave? I’m practically back to full strength. I’ve got important pack matters to attend to. Melany, I am an Alpha. I can’t keep wasting my time here.
I have lots of things to deal with. You can’t just keep me cooped up.”
“What do you mean by wasting time?” Melany, her frustration mounting, shot back. “Caleb, don’t forget, not too long ago, you almost died.
