Calebâs POV:
âNo! No!â
I did my best to dodge Galeâs attacks.
Just as I was about to reach Debra, I was flung back by a surge of her witch power.
I stumbled backward until I collided with a tree, falling awkwardly to the ground in pain.
Through the flames, I saw Debra struggling, her cries echoing through the air.
âDebra!â I roared, my heart pounding as I rushed forward once more.
A fierce wind whipped against my face as I focused on Debra amidst the flames, my determination unwavering.
Iâd never felt so resolute.
I was determined to save Debra, even if it meant sacrificing everything.
If I couldnât, then Iâd die with her.
But Gale was ready this time, creating a barrier between us, keeping me from reaching Debra.
âCaleb, no need to rush to your death,â Gale taunted.
âDebra will soon be consumed by the flames.
Iâll ensure you join her in hell.
You can be together for eternity.
â
Damienâs anger boiled over, his curses filled with venom.
âBastard! rot in hell!â
I transformed into a wolf and lunged at Gale.
The werewolfâs furious roar made the air vibrate.
But Gale remained composed.
âStop him.
Donât let him approach Debra until sheâs reduced to ashes.
â
As soon as she finished speaking, the watching witches and werewolves
surged forward, effectively cutting me off.
Damien swore under his breath.
âThese damned cowards! Gale is so arrogant, thinking she has the numbers.
Iâll make her pay!â
The fight raged on, punctuated by Debraâs pained cries.
Panic gnawed at me.
I needed to end this, now.
Every fiber of my being strained to break through the encircling pack and reach Debra.
Their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
I fended off one attacker only to have another lunge at me.
This relentless cycle was draining my strength.
Exhaustion gnawed at my limbs.
I stumbled, and nearly keeled over several times, only for Debraâs screams to douse me.
My blood pumped ferociously.
I refused to stop.
âDonât give up,â I rasped to Damien, my own resolve hardening.
âWe have to keep fighting.
This is for the one we love!â
Damien grunted in agreement, his breaths coming in ragged gasps.
Just as we managed to synchronize our attacks, a searing pain erupted in my back.
