With a frown, I asked, âZoe, whatâs going on? Why are you here?â
Zoe scoffed, âI met Debra while patrolling the border.
She was upset and told me that you slept with another woman.
At first, I didnât want to believe it, thinking you wouldnât do that.
But here I am, seeing you with another woman.
â
Zoeâs voice turned sharp.
âCaleb, how do you explain this to Debra?â
Frustrated, I rubbed my forehead and said, âYouâve got it all wrong.
â
Zoe remained unconvinced.
She narrowed her eyes at Alexandria and taunted, âI found it strange when you suddenly got a female assistant.
Now it seems you planned this all along.
â
Stepping closer, suspicion in her eyes, she accused, âCaleb, did you make Debra disappear just to be with another woman? Did you?â
This was getting ridiculous.
Angry, I shouted, âShut up!â
Zoe raised an eyebrow and said, âFeeling guilty, huh?â
As tensions rose, Alexandria tried to explain, âZoe, youâre mistaken.
Nothing happened between Alpha and me, it was all an accident.
â
Zoe gave her a cold look.
Alexandria continued, âItâs true.
Alpha has been searching tirelessly for Luna.
Please donât assumeâ¦â

But before Alexandria could finish, Zoeâs slap landed sharply on her face, leaving a red mark.
Zoe said scornfully, âWho do you think you are? Trying to seduce a married man, You have no right to speak here.
â
Hearing this, I couldnât hold back any longer.
The simmering anger inside me boiled over, and I pointed to the door, yelling, âZoe, get out! What happened between Debra and me is none of your business!â
Zoe stared at me in shock for a moment.
âFine, have it your way.
Caleb, youâve got some nerve.
Even when youâre wrong, you still act like youâre in the right.
We were so wrong about you!â
With that, she left without looking back.
Watching her leave, I massaged my forehead, feeling utterly drained.
Alexandriaâs POV:
âAlpha, I apologize,â I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks.
âItâs all my fault.
Iâve caused you to be misunderstood by Zoe.
Please, let me go and explain everything to her.
â
But Caleb simply waved his hand dismissively.
âNo need.
â
From his demeanor, I knew he was very frustrated.
