The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1455

Who had fired the shot?

Confused, I looked towards the source of the gunshot.

Soon after, Harlan emerged from the jungle, flanked by the warriors of the Xeric Pack.

Speechless, I watched as they approached.

Harlan’s timely arrival shifted the balance of power.

With the help of the Xeric Pack, the assailants were quickly subdued, and the wounded were rushed

for medical treatment.

Despite the turn of events, joy eluded me.

Standing there, I trembled as I looked up at the now-calm rift in the sky, the memory of the ordeal overwhelming me.

With a heavy heart, I closed my eyes, haunted by thoughts of Debra’s fate.

Caleb’s POV:

After everything was taken care of, Harlan finally approached me.

“I’m sorry, Caleb.

Something came up, and I was delayed.

That’s why I was late.

I’m truly sorry,” he said with remorse.

I said nothing in response.

Harlan glanced around, then asked, “Where’s Debra? Why don’t I see her? Isn’t the battle over?”

A cold hand seemed to squeeze at my heart at the mention of Debra’s name.

I could no longer control my rage, and I lashed out with my fist and struck Harlan hard in the face.

I hit him with all my strength.

Harlan was not expecting to be hit, so the blow knocked him to the ground.

However, my anger still raged.

I straddled him and punched him over and over as I yelled angrily, “Why did you arrive so late? Tell me! Why did you betray me, Harlan? Debra and I trusted you.

We never did you any wrong.

Why would you do this to us?”

Finally, I stopped punching.

Harlan had by then regained his composure but just laid there, saying nothing.

His brows fell, and he had a look of defeat painted on his face.

When I seemed to have calmed down, Harlan began to apologize.

“I’m so sorry, Caleb.

”

Although I had knocked the wind out of him, he didn’t appear angry.

Instead, he seemed overwhelmed by guilt.

“I indeed failed to provide the needed support, but I swear, I did not betray you.

It was all Danielle’s doing.

”

I stared at him.

“What do you mean?”
