Consequently, staying at home became more challenging.


    With many concerns weighing on me, the monotony of my days felt unbearable.


    Even while resting, I grew restless.


    So I told Caleb honestly, “Darling, I need to go out and do something.


    I’ve rested well.


    My body and strength have recovered.


    I can handle a vampire if need be.

    “What are you nning to do?” Caleb asked, not objecting since he recognized my condition.


    I replied, “We need to make extensive preparations to fix the rift.


    My strength alone won’t suffice, so I n to visit the Xeric Pack and persuade the witches to help.


    ”


    “I see.


    ” Caleb looked concerned.


    After a brief pause, he offered, “Then I’ll go with you.


    I don’t have any pressing matters to attend to.


    ”


    “But haven’t you been busy preparing to fix the rift?” I asked, puzzled.


    “It’s okay.


    Even if I’m away, Carlos can manage things here.


    He’s reliable and there won’t be any issues,” Caleb reassured me with a light cough.


    I couldn’t change his mind, so I had to agree.


    “Well, I’ll finish it and we’lle back as soon as possible.


    ”


    In a way, it wasforting to have my mate by my side.


    We got ready and hit the road.


    The drivers alternated, allowing us to travel without stopping, and we soon arrived at the Xeric Pack.


    Stepping out of the car, I was greeted by the familiar sights of the Xeric Pack and felt a pang of nostalgia.


    When I left, Gale ruled here, and everyone lived and worked in peace.


    During my darkest times, facing death’s threat, it was Gale who provided me refuge.


    Yet, in the blink of an eye, everything had changed.


    The relentless schemes and deep-seated hatred had transformed everything beyond recognition, erasing any hope of returning to the way things were.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    “Hi, Debra, Caleb, nice to meet you!”


    A robust and clear voice cut through my thoughts.


    Caleb and I turned to see a tall, sturdy figure hurrying towards us.


    His voice was filled with excitement as he greeted, “Wee to the Xeric Pack!”


    It was Han who hade to greet us.


    “Han, good afternoon.

    Caleb and I were delighted to see our old friend and quickly walked over to him.
