The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1348

Caleb replied, “I’ve had them imprisoned.

Riley made a serious mistake, and I’m not sure how to handle it yet.

”

Handle it?

I furrowed my brows, puzzled.

“Why do you need to handle Riley? What did she do?”

Caleb looked troubled and said, “If Riley hadn’t drawn Gale here, you wouldn’t have almost been killed by her.

As one of the chief offenders, she has to face the consequences.

”

So that was the issue.

Quickly, I responded, “Honey, it’s not Riley’s fault.

Back then, Luca was captured by Gale, and she manipulated Riley too.

Riley didn’t intend to hurt us.

She’s not guilty.

”

Caleb sighed.

“That’s exactly why I haven’t acted against Riley yet.

I’ve been unsure about how to proceed.

”

He looked at me, his expression softening.

“But now that you’re back, you should decide Riley’s fate.

I’ll support your decision, whether to free her or otherwise.

”

Debra’s POV:

Without a second thought, I declared, “Then let Riley go.

”

At that moment, the sun had just dipped behind the hills.

The red sunset slowly faded into a blurry haze as time moved on.

The light filtering through the gauze on the window appeared so dim.

As the last streak of sunlight vanished, the once bright sky turned suddenly dark.

It reminded me of the day we met Riley in the forest.

I could still see the helpless look on Riley’s face then.

What would I have done in her shoes?

I pondered the scenario where Elena and Dylan were captured by Gale…

Waves of anxiety and unease washed over me, prompting me to clench my fists.

Indeed, understanding others’ feelings seemed easier when I tried to see things from their perspective.

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Caleb and said, “Honey, Riley messed up, but she deserves forgiveness.

If our kids were taken by Gale, I doubt I’d do any better.

”

Then, I highlighted the positives.

“I also believe that Riley will learn from this.

She won’t repeat the same mistakes.

Besides, Riley is the best candidate for the Roz District right now.

The district is in turmoil and needs a leader with strong management skills and appeal to stabilize things.

It would be hard to find someone more capable and trustworthy than Riley in such a short time.

”

“Alright, I’ll do as you suggest.

I’ll have someone release her tomorrow,” Caleb responded easily.

“No, I need to go there myself.

”

“What?” Caleb frowned.

“The war just ended, and we’re rebuilding the pack.

It would look good for you to come with me, deal with everything, and make a positive impression on the Thorn Edge Pack werewolves.

I responded, “We can discuss that later.

I need to handle things with Riley first.

I knew Riley well.

She was kind-hearted and always blamed herself for everything.

If she isn’t punished, she won’t show her face because of her guilt.

I need to talk to her.

Plus, my good friend has been locked up for too long.

It’s only respectful that I go there personally.

”

“I understand.

I’ll Listen to you.

” Caleb smiled and patted my head.

“I wasn’t thinking.

You’re being very thoughtful.

”
