Calebâs POV:
After the party, I wanted to talk to Debra, but she never came back to the Thorn Edge Pack.
She disappeared completely, like a bird flying out of its cage.
I couldnât find a way to reach her or know where she was.
I couldnât just go into the other world without knowing the dangers, especially with vampires around.
Searching for her would put many pack members at risk.
I felt lost.
All I could do was wait for Debra to come back.
But with such a big misunderstanding between us, would she even want to come back?
Debraâs absence made me miserable.
I worried about her all the time.
Stress made my hair fall out, and I let Carlos take care of most pack tasks.
Meanwhile, Alexandria came to the villa to apologize.
âAlpha, I know I messed up,â she said, tears in her eyes.
âPlease let me make it right.
â
But I couldnât forgive her.
If it werenât for Alexandria, things wouldnât have gotten so bad with Debra.
So, I told the servants, âGet her out.
I donât want to see her.
Sheâs not welcome here anymore.
â
The servants escorted Alexandria out, despite her crying and pleading.
But she didnât leave.
The servants came back and said, âMiss Vargas is still outside, saying she wonât go until sheâs apologized to you in person.
â
I scoffed, âLet her stay there!â
As night fell, the sky darkened, and stars twinkled above.
Alexandriaâs silhouette remained in front of the villa, refusing to leave, even drawing the attention of bystanders.
Even the servants, usually indifferent, started betting on when she would leave.
During dinner, with the wind howling, someone mentioned the cold weather outside, wondering if Alexandria might get sick.
Unable to stand it anymore, I left my meal and went to confront her at the door.
Seeing her shivering from the cold, I felt no pity and asked coldly, âAlexandria, what do you want?â
As soon as she saw me, Alexandriaâs eyes filled with tears.
She reached out to me, but I avoided her, saying, âStick to the point, no touching.
â
Looking hurt, she cried.
âAlpha, I came to apologize.
Iâve been so restless, unable to sleep these past few days.
If you donât forgive me, Iâll stay here until you do.
â
I couldnât help but smirk.
She was acting so pitifully, it was almost impressive.
