âYes,â I murmured instinctively, drawn towards them.
But just as I neared, a horrifying rift ripped open the sky, swallowing Debra and the infant whole.
âNo!â The scream ripped from my throat.
I lunged forward, desperate to save them, but the riftâs power was beyond me.
Helpless, I watched them vanish.
âNo!â I roared again, jolting awake as the rift sealed shut.
Sweat plastered my body.
As I sat up, heart hammering, a wave of pain crashed over my heart.
But then, as quickly as it arrived, it receded, replaced by a strange numbness.
Clarity slowly seeped back, pushing away the dreamâs emotional turmoil.
What was happening?
Confused, I furrowed my brow.

Debra was my mate.
The dream had been a horrific vision, yet waking up, I felt indifferent.
Could it be true? Did my love for her vanish?
Lost in thought, I didnât hear Damien stir.
âCaleb, whatâs wrong?â he rasped.
The conflicting emotions of the dream warred within me.
âA nightmare,â I managed.
âihat happened?â Damien pressed, unaware of the dreamâs true weight.
âI dreamt of Debra and a baby being swallowed by the rift,â I confessed.
âIt was terrifying, but when I woke up, nothing.
No feeling.
â
I clasped my head and muttered, âDamien, I think I may not love Debra anymore.
â
Moonlight cast a solitary figure on the floor as Damien too fell silent.
Calebâs POV:
In the end, I couldnât determine whether I still loved Debra or not.
In my dreams, I felt such intense pain that I wished to be pulled into rift alongside Debra.
However, upon waking, I felt completely different; so serene that I couldnât feel anything at all.
Perhaps there was a trace of emotion.
But any slight pain I might have felt vanished so quickly it was almost negligible.
Why had I become like this?
My mind wandered even as I went to the office to handle my business, unable to find an answer to this question.
