The door swung open, revealing a tall and robust man.

His brows furrowed upon spotting Bella and Fiona, and his voice was tinged with annoyance when he spoke. “Bella? Why did you bring Fiona back? I’ve told you, the Barton family’s special medicine works. You should think about her health-“
His reproachful words cut off abruptly when he noticed Zoe and me emerging from the car.
His eyes hardened as they settled on me.

Before he could say anything, Bella rushed to explain, “Debra and Zoe have come to rescue our family. We won’t have to live under the Barton family’s threat anymore.”
Bella turned to look at us. “This is my husband, Jackson, Fiona’s father.”
Unexpectedly, Jackson seemed averse to our presence. He crossed his arms over his chest and said fiercely, “Bella, she’s a witch. Why’d you bring her here? Witches are not welcome in our family. Get her out of here!”
Taken aback by her husband’s impolite behavior, Bella felt her cheeks flush as she stumbled to explain. “Debra is the future Luna. She has pledged to protect Fiona. It’s our best chance to break free from the Barton family’s influence.”
But Jackson remained unwavering, his voice stern. “What’s the difference between living under the Barton family’s thumb and collaborating with a witch?”
Bella had no option but to stress her point. “If we don’t leave, the Bartons will coerce us into acting against the pack again. Then we’ll become traitors!”
Jackson paid no heed to her words and retorted coldly, “Alpha Caleb is obsessed with her. Even knowing she was a witch, he never punished her. Now you’re doing the same. I think you’re enchanted by the witch. It doesn’t matter what you say, I won’t let her in.”
He pointed a finger at Bella, accusing her. “You once blamed me for being manipulated by the Barton family for their dirty work. But now, it seems Like you’re no different. You’re bringing a witch home. Are you betraying the Thorn Edge Pack?”
Initially, Zoe had intended to defend Bella’s honor, but upon hearing these hurtful words, she snapped at Jackson, her voice tinged with anger. “Jackson, that’s going too far! Debra is our future Luna, and she’s given her all for the pack. How can you say such a thing?”
Jackson responded rudely, “Witches have a long-standing feud with the Thorn Edge Pack; it’s right there in the history books. Zoe, are you incapable of reading or just plain foolish?”
Zoe retorted with a sarcastic smirk, “Seems like you’re not any better than the witches in those books. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have intentionally lead people into the foggy forest.”
Jackson’s irritation flared. “What did you just say?”

Zone taunted him, “What’s the matter? Can’t you understand normal words?”
“Get out! Both of you! Get out of here!” Jackson’s anger flared, and he forcefully shoved me and Zoe.
I hadn’t anticipated his action, and, given my fatigue, I stumbled and fell backward.
At that moment, a set of hands steadied me.
A familiar and reassuring scent flooded the air.
It was Caleb.
I felt dazed, my head spinning with confusion.
I had confided in him during our journey here, and he should have been tending to matters in the foggy forest. Why did he come here so soon?
