The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1240

“You’ve seemed off lately, what’s going on?”

I mustered a faint smile.

“Off? Not at all.

” Feeling a pang of guilt, I lied.

“I’m just tired, that’s all.

”

Yet, at that moment, I saw an opening.

I inhaled deeply, grasped Caleb’s hand, and whispered the spell under my breath.

As the magic took hold, a brief look of bewilderment crossed Caleb’s face, but he quickly recovered, puzzled.

“What were you murmuring about, dear?”

I let go of his hand and forced a smile, despite the pain wrenching my heart.

“It was nothing, just mumbling to myself that we should stick together.

”

Only I was aware that the spell had been successfully cast.

Should we both return unharmed, the spell would remain dormant.

But if I were to perish, it would activate at once.

At that point, all of Caleb’s emotions for me would be sealed away, confined to a remote corner of his heart.

Even his memories of me would start to fade.

Debra’s POV:

“Okay.

” Caleb, unsuspecting, tenderly stroked my head.

“If something’s on your mind, please share it with me.

We can tackle it together.

Don’t bottle it up, alright?”

I managed a nod, fighting back the wave of sorrow and ache.

We drove on.

The breeze from the open window brought Ivy’s sobs to my ears; she was crying intensely, her face wet with tears and snot.

She lamented, “I can’t stand the thought of leaving.

”

I exhaled deeply.

My feelings mirrored hers.

I tried to soothe her, “Ivy, for Caleb, this is a sacrifice we need to accept.

”

Ivy retorted, “But after everything we’ve endured to be with Caleb, why does it have to end like this?”

I concealed my own anguish, saying, “Ivy, if we make it back safely, the spell will remain inactive.

”

At that moment, my heart bore a heavier burden of pain and discomfort than Ivy’s.

It was crucial for one of us to stay composed, preventing both of us from succumbing to despair.

If Caleb were to discover our plan, it would all be for naught.
