Being with her was all that mattered to me.
I was ready to give up everything else, as long as it meant being by her side.
My love was for her, not for any title or status she held.
However, we were in a critical situation with no time for lengthy explanations.
I shot Debra a quick wink before turning away.
âDamien, letâs go!â
At my command, Damien let out a howl.
We transformed into a wolf, and together, we launched an attack on Gale.
Gale, confident of her victory, stood with her arms crossed, watching us with a relaxed demeanor, clearly not expecting any real challenge.
She hadnât realized that I was not under her spell.
I was only pretending, which allowed me to catch her off guard with our attack.
âARIâ
Damienâs claws grazed Galeâs arm, causing her expression to shift to one of shock and rage.
I couldnât help but smirk.
Gale, once so sure of herself and her power, was now injured.
And this was only the start.
Gale had inflicted terrible pain on Debra and mercilessly ended her motherâs life.
I was determined to make Gale face even more severe consequences for her actions.
I looked at Gale with disdain and said, âYouâre wrong, Gale.
Iâve never felt any resentment towards Debra.
Resigning as Alpha, the Thorn Edge Pack facing attacks, my father getting hurtâ¦Those were the results of my decisions.
I wouldnât blame Debra.
â
I continued with conviction, âMy affection for Debra is profound.
My feelings for her have always been sincere; thereâs no bitterness in my heart, which is why your mind control didnât work on me.
â
As I voiced my resolve, my attacks intensified.
Gale tried to evade my relentless onslaught, but she was clearly struggling.
Eventually, one of my powerful strikes sent her tumbling to the ground.
She had a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth, looking defeated and miserable.
âThis canât be happening!â Gale stared at me, astounded.
She shouted angrily, âWerewolves in the Thorn Edge Pack are liars!
You canât possibly love her genuinely!â
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
I couldnât understand why Gale harbored such a strong bias against the werewolves of the Thorn Edge Pack.
I was determined to challenge her prejudice.
âListen, Gale,â I said slowly, trying to reason with her.
âIf I were pretending, your mind control would have taken effect by now.
â
With unwavering determination in my eyes, I stated earnestly, âNo matter what happens, my love for Debra will never waver.
Iâll always stand by her side, no matter what.
