The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1745

I locked my gaze onto her face and demanded, “Who were you talking to just now? Why were you hiding it from me?”

A fleeting, uncertain look crossed Debra’s eyes, as if she was debating whether to confide in me.

I tightened my grip on her shoulders, forcing her to meet my eyes.

I pressed further, “Was it Andrew?”

After a moment of hesitation, she sighed and finally nodded in acknowledgement.

Irritation surged within me.

Though I had promised to respect Andrew, I couldn’t bear the thought of Debra avoiding me when she was in touch with him.

If she had simply called Andrew while I was there, I wouldn’t have felt this surge of anger.

Noticing my foul mood, Debra offered a

helpless explanation.

“Andrew just called to say he’ll take me to the clan leader’s party tomorrow evening.

”

The leader’s party?

It was clear to Andrew that someone close to the leader was plotting against Debra, yet he still planned to bring her there.

My gaze hardened as I declared firmly, “You’re not going! Don’t you realize how dangerous this party could be?”

Debra’s POV:

I knew Caleb was anxious about my safety, but this time, I couldn’t heed his warnings.

Pulling Caleb onto the sofa, I looked at him earnestly and said, “I must attend the party tomorrow.

”

Caleb’s gaze was unwavering as he demanded, “Why? I need a_ reasonable explanation.

”

I didn’t want Caleb to know the real reason, which was why I had tried to avoid him while on the phone earlier.

But now, with Caleb pressing me for answers, I couldn’t predict his reaction if I lied.

After a moment of contemplation, I decided to come clean.

“This party is being held because Veronica wants to introduce Andrew’s fiancee to the elders.

”

This meant that I would be the center of attention at the party, leaving me with no valid excuse to decline.

“No way!” Caleb’s tone was harsh and unyielding.

“You know this party is a setup for you.

Why walk straight into their trap?”

I bit my lip, trying to persuade him.

“I know what I’m doing.

I have to go.

”

Caleb fell silent, his eyes looking into mine for a long time without uttering a word.

I felt a sense of helplessness, but my attendance at the party was non- negotiable.

I was acutely aware of the dangers this party posed.

When I spoke with Andrew earlier, I sensed something amiss.

Although Andrew mentioned it casually, I could tell Veronica wanted him to explain the murder that had occurred at our engagement party in person.
