Undeterred, Gale continued, “Worrying won’t help now, Debra.

It’s too late.

Caleb won’t leave now that he knows you’re pregnant.

That must be why you hid it, hmm?”

A malicious glint flickered in her eyes.

“Such devotion! You followed Caleb even when pregnant, just like I would have.

Unfortunately, your plan is doomed to fail.

The blood drained from Debra’s face.

My fists clenched tighter.

Gale’s laughter twisted into a cruel sound.

“Because regardless, I will kill you both.

Your child was a pleasant surprise.

It’ll ensure Caleb never leaves.

Ignoring Gale, I locked eyes with Debra, my heart a gaping wound, bleeding with every ragged breath.

Gale’s words were undeniably true.

Her aim was clear: leverage the child to chain me to Debra.

She guessed right.

Abandoning Debra wasn’t an option; it never was.

“Caleb, don’t! It’s obviously a trap!” Carlos’ panicked grip tightened.

“You’ll die!”

Debra’s pain-filled expression held my gaze.

Without hesitation, I injured Carlos.

“I’m so sorry, Carlos.

But I can’t leave.

The Thorn Edge Pack is now your responsibility.

My steps were resolute as I marched towards Debra.

This time, Gale offered no resistance.

Perhaps, after countless casualties on both sides, her goal was already achieved.

With my death, the Thorn Edge Pack would be hers for the taking.

But she underestimated them.

Gale’s power was undeniable, but could a pack under siege be so easily crushed?

I had faith in Carlos’ ability to lead the resistance.

Confidently, I broke free from Carlos’ restraints and charged towards the flames.

But what I overlooked was Debra’s desire to protect me.

Just as I lunged into the flames, a sudden smile played on Debra’s lips.

Her face, etched with sadness, filled my vision.

“Caleb,” she whispered softly, “I love you.

Live a long, fulfilling life.

The she waved her hand.

“Debra.

My eyes widened, but the blinding white light engulfed me.
