A sense of gloom overtook my expression.


    The gravity of the situation weighed heavily upon us.


    No wonder my father had been so concerned.


    Carlos noticed my expression and asked, “What’s your strategy, Caleb? How do you intend to deal with Gale and the Xeric Pack?”


    Xeric Pack… Gale…


    Every mention of Gale’s name reignited the mes of hatred within me.


    In aposed tone, I assured Carlos, “Don’t worry.


    I’ve formted a n to strike back against the Xeric Pack.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    They will soon face the repercussions of their deeds.

    Gale’s POV:


    The gray clouds hung low in the sky, obscuring the bright sunshine.


    The overcast atmosphere felt unsettling, like a veil over the world.


    It had been four days since I had killed Debra.


    I should have felt relieved-both Debra and her mother were now gone, consumed by the mes.


    But this time felt different from when Elsie died.


    I didn’t regain all of the supreme witch’s power.


    I was puzzled.


    Had expending too much energy to defeat Debra and Caleb that day left me too weakened to fully recover?


    Boom! The thunder echoed through the sky, jolting me out of my reverie.

    The streets of the Xeric Pack were eerily quiet.


    Since t


    he outbreak of the war, the army and many residents had been pulled into the conflict, resulting in significantly quieter streetspared to before.


    Many of the werewolves conscripted into the war were unaware that it was actually the vengeance of the mixed-blood witches, not my stated reasons of fighting for resources and strengthening the Xeric Pack.


    They werepelled to join the war because of the environment I cultivated, turning them into instruments for my revenge.


    With fierce determination, they wielded their ws against their own kind.


    I concealed the true reason from them because portraying the conflict between the Xeric Pack and the Thorn Edge Pack as merely territorial and resource-rted would prevent it from drawing the attention of other packs whose interests were not threatened.


    This allowed them to remain on the sidelines and observe without feelingpelled to intervene.


    However, were the witches and werewolves to engage in conflict, the scenario would alter significantly.


    Simr to Rick’s response, their apprehension and intervention wouldplicate matters further.


    Consequently, I opted against revealing the truth to the werewolves.


    Provided they aided in eradicating the Thorn Edge Pack’s werewolves, I had no other concerns.


    At that moment, a knock came at the door.
