The moment these ominous words left his lips, the guards halted their advance, frozen in their tracks, no one dared to defy his command.

With the immediate threat neutralized, Patrick turned to me and Caleb, then glanced towards our car. With a slight tremble in his voice, he asked, “Debra, Caleb, would you consider remaining in the Thorn Edge Pack?”
Debra’s POV:
Patrick, possibly fearing our refusal, promised earnestly, “If you choose to stay, Debra, I commit to shielding you from the pack’s criticisms and ensuring you won’t endure any more hardship.”

“That’s great!” Ivy lit up with enthusiasm. “Then we don’t have to face a tough life on our own.”
Yet, Caleb and I knew it wasn’t that straightforward.
Caleb expressed our shared thoughts. “Father, the Thorn Edge Pack wouldn’t tolerate a witch staying, especially not with the elders.
They were rigid and stubborn, holding a deep-seated hatred toward witches. Knowing the elders’ mindset, they wouldn’t let Debra live in peace. Their only aim would be to eliminate her. Both emotionally and logically, Debra and I are no longer fit to remain here. It would not only cause you trouble but also disrupt the peace of the pack.”
Patrick remained silent, his heavy sigh speaking volumes. Obviously, he recognized the truth in Caleb’s words.
Puzzled, Ivy asked, “But I don’t understand. Didn’t Patrick offer his protection? Why do we need to worry about the elders and the pack’s residents?”
I explained to Ivy, who tends to take things at face value, saying, “Despite being the leader of the pack, Patrick cannot unilaterally decide everything. His decisions are influenced by the elders and the pack’s collective sentiment. Even if he were to stand against the majority to save me now, it wouldn’t shield us from the community’s discrimination.”

Upon hearing this, Ivy let out a sigh. “The human mind is indeed intricate. I never pondered such matters before.”
I said, “My identity has already stirred significant controversy, from the exposure at our wedding to the death sentence. These events have not only troubled us but have also garnered attention from other packs. While Patrick might be able to spare my life, remaining as the Luna is simply not feasible for me. The outcry from the residents would reverberate through every street and alley.”
“Okay,” Ivy said, visibly disheartened.
Sharing my perspective, Caleb said firmly, “Dad, I’ve decided to leave with Debra and the children.”
Patrick hesitated, his reluctance evident. However, he didn’t push the matter any further this time. Instead, he simply asked, “Where do you plan to go?”
Caleb replied, “We haven’t planned that far ahead. The breakout was impromptu, and we’ve been reacting to events as they unfold. We’ll figure out our next steps once we’re safely away from the Thorn Edge Pack.”

Feeling a mixture of regret and reluctance, Patrick placed a comforting hand on Caleb’s shoulder and said, “Once you’ve reached your destination, make sure to send me a letter, at the very least, to Let me know where you are.”
Caleb didn’t object and readily consented. “Father, could you please refrain from blaming our friends and allow them to remain in the pack? They broke into the prison because they were concerned about Debra’s safety. It wasn’t their intention to challenge your authority.”
I. was anxious about Patrick discovering Melany and Brian’s involvement.
Considering Patrick’s adherence to tradition, his reaction might be furious. If he were to persist with Brian’s execution, things could escalate.
Preempting any blame from Patrick, I said, “Mr. Wright, please allow Melany and Brian to go. Their involvement was solely due to their concern for Caleb and me. They’re both innocent.”
To our relief, Patrick consented without any objections.
Patrick said calmly, “Your friends are welcome to remain in the pack under the same conditions as before. I’ll ensure tonight’s events remain confidential, preventing any gossip from the guards. Regarding Brian and Melany…”
