Fury contorted Calebs face upon hearing this news. I, too, was shocked.
Before we could fully react, another bodyguard delivered a fresh report.
This new paternity test definitively proved that Alexandrias child was not Calebs. The pregnancy itself happened half a month after Caleb had left the Thorn Edge Pack.
I was shocked. So, it was all a lie? It was Neal and Alexandrias plot all along?
Calebs POV:
When the investigation results landed on my desk, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me.
Relief warred with anger. The good news was that it was all a misunderstanding. I hadnt wronged Debra in the slightest. But Neal and Alexandrias audacity made me fume with rage. How dare they pull such a stunt!
My fists clenched until my knuckles cracked. I knew it, I muttered, pacing restlessly. My gut feeling was right from the start. This whole charade was a conspiracy all along!
Debra let out an audible sigh of relief. However, she said worriedly, Can we be sure this report from your bodyguard is accurate? What about the one Carlos brought?
Her question brought me back to reality.
The joy of clearing my name quickly turned to a pit in my stomach as I glanced at the paternity test Carlos had brought over.
This suspicious document hung over me like a taunt. It hinted at a betrayal, either from Carlos, my most trusted confidant, or my doctor.
The situation was downright humiliating. No matter who was responsible, it was a serious matter.

.
Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to compose myself. Keep this quiet for now. At least we know the truth about Neal and Alexandria. Theyre out of the picture.
Debra nodded, her expression visibly easing.
I placed a kis on her forehead. Our priority now is to figure out the source of this discrepancy.
Taking the initiative, Debra reached for my hand, a gentle smile gracing her lips. Right.
With the situation with Debra finally resolved, a wave of relief washed over me. But we still needed to figure out who the traitor was.
Debras hand reached out, smoothing the wrinkles of worry on my forehead. Dont worry, Caleb. Well get through this.
Despite my exhaustion, Debras trust and comfort brought a flicker of happiness.
I leaned wearily against her shoulder, and she responded with a natural hug and a gentle pat on the back.
At that moment, we were each others pillars of reliance and trust.
However, this warm moment was shattered abruptly.
Neal stormed in, his face contorted with anger. He pointed a finger accusingly at Debra and me. My daughter is critically ill in the hospital, facing a miscarriage, and you, the father, are here flirting with this woman? Youre an utterly irresponsible man! What makes you think youre fit to lead the Thorn Edge Pack?
I froze for a moment, grappling with his words. Just how shameless could a man be?
My face contorted in disgust.
Engaging with him was pointless. Instead, I barked an order towards the bodyguards stationed outside the door. What were you doing? How did he manage to get in? Get him out of here!
