Chapter 1171: Chapter 1270

Caleb’s expression turned to one of regret and remorse.

He uttered in a raspy tone, “The blame lies with the Thorn Edge Pack.

Gale and her fellow witches were mercilessly burned in the forest.

They’ve been under a curse for ages, and it’s not just them; their descendants suffer too.

For generations, witches have Lived in fear, hidden among werewolves.

It’s all because of what the Thorn Edge Pack did!”

With that, Caleb’s hands balled into fists.

Overwhelmed by guilt, he struggled to remain composed, his hands trembling.

Noticing his distress, I felt a surge of sympathy for him.

Gently, I touched his hand, offering comfort.

“Love, you’re not to blame.

These are the sins of your forebears.

You shouldn’t carry this guilt.

”

Despite my words, Caleb remained troubled.

He grimaced, expressing his frustration.

“But Rick, my forefather, started all this.

I benefit from his actions.

The power we enjoy in the Thorn Edge Pack comes at the expense of those witches’ lives.

I’m filled with shame at the thought.

”

His face clouded with sorrow, and he hung his head, expressing his remorse.

“I wish the Thorn Edge Pack hadn’t gained its power if it meant those witches could live.

”

Caleb’s voice, laden with regret, stirred a profound sadness in me.

I felt the weight of his words, but dwelling on the past wouldn’t change anything.

Those tragic events had occurred, and feeling guilty wouldn’t undo them.

Right now, we need to focus on the present situation.

Just as I was about to offer Caleb more words of comfort, a piercing voice cut through the air.

“Debra, have you witnessed all that happened back then?”

Gale’s red eyes conveyed a torrent of emotions.

Her presence brought back vivid memories of the atrocities committed against Gale and her fellow witches.

I couldn’t deny it.

With a heavy heart, I confirmed, “Yes, I’ve seen it.

”

Gale’s expression hardened.

Confounded and bitter, she demanded, “Then why? Why don’t you exact vengeance on Caleb right now, for all of us witches?”

Debra’s POV:

I was aware that Gale’s mood was very unstable.

If I was not careful enough, she would unleash years of pent-up anger on Caleb.

So I approached the subject with caution.

“Gale, the resentment from the past shouldn’t affect Caleb.

He’s done nothing wrong.

He’s innocent.

”

“Innocent? Ha-ha!” Gale’s response to my words was a burst of manic laughter.
