Andrew, perhaps you should prioritize the disaster unfolding here. It is, after all, your estate, Caleb remarked nonchalantly.
He paused, then drped his arms around my waist and drew me close.
As for Debra, shes my Luna. Ill look after her myself. You neednt worry about her.
Debras POV:
Caleb seemed to be asserting his dominance. He wrapped me tightly in his arms, his gaze fixed on Andrew with a faint, knowing smile.
Andrews face was livid, the bones of his hands protruding. His jawline was tense, and his dark eyes appeared ready to unleash a storm.
If the guests werent around, his anger might have erupted.
However, Caleb wasnt satisfied. With a provocative smile, he lowered his head and kised my forehead, feigning concern. You were exhausted last night and awakened so early. Would you like to go rest for a while?
When the surrounding guests heard this, they seemed to imagine a series of heated scenes. Yet, due to Andrews presence, they didnt dare to discuss it openly. Only a few hushed whispers reached my ears.
This half-blood witch was never worthy of Andrew. And now she has a lover?
Shame on her! Shes brought disgrace to us.
How could Andrew possibly fall in love with a woman Like her?
Andrew became angrier, his fists tightening with a newfound resolve.

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and regret, I subtly elbowed Caleb, hoping to signal him to rein himself in.
Caleb raised his eyebrows but continued to hold me tightly.
I attempted to discreetly free myself from his grip, but it was clearly futile.
At that moment, I sensed someone watching me. When I looked up, my gaze met Andrews penetrating eyes.
His eyes were filled with such complexity that I couldnt bring myself to meet his gaze.
Debra
Andrew. I interjected with a pang of guilt, shifting the conversation. So, whats your strategy concerning Keenan? Its imperative that you address this promptly; otherwise, the repercussions could be dire for you.
Andrews betrothal to me had already drawn harsh scrutiny from the entire clan. Now, with two deaths occurring at the engagement celebration, the situation could easily be exploited by those with hidden agendas to undermine him. Such incidents not only threatened Andrews standing and authority but also tarnished his reputation.
Andrews lips twisted into a bitter smile as he assured me, Debra, fret not. I shall address this matter with due diligence.
I chewed on my lower lip, casting my gaze downward, at a loss for words.
