Yet, before I could pin down my thoughts, Han interrupted me.


    Han approached me and said quietly, “I’ve assembled all the witches as you requested.


    What would you Like to tell them, Debra? Go ahead.


    ”


    “Okay,” I replied.


    Han looked over at the witches gathered and continued in a subdued tone, “But I must remind you that rtions between witches and werewolves are quite delicate.


    During my time managing the Xeric Pack, I primarily dealt with the werewolves and seldom engaged with the witches.


    Thus, I’m not certain they’ll heed your call or agree to help mend the rift in the sky.


    ”


    I wasn’t surprised by this.


    “Okay, I understand.


    ”


    I had anticipated such a situation before my arrival; that was why I came in person.


    I slowly walked toward the witches and then ascended the steps to the high tform.


    My heart pounded audibly, but only I could hear it.


    To be honest, I was more anxious than anyone else.


    Although I now held the title of supreme witch, too many recent events had kept me from bonding with the witches.


    I had only met them briefly once before during the fight with Gale.

    With no other option, I decided to take the plunge.

    I drew a deep breath.


    Under the watchful eyes of all, I walked confidently to the high tform at the center.


    After settling in ce, I offered a polite and friendly smile, waved to the gathering, and said, “Hello, everyone! It’s great to see you all again!”


    However, contrary to my expectations, the response was just silence from below.


    The witches gazed at me with nk expressions, as though they hadn’t heard a word.


    I felt even more anxious.


    What did their expressions imply?


    Unable to discern their thoughts, I decided to push forward and asked, “How are things going for you in the Xeric Pack?”


    They still did not reply and remained silent, as if unable to speak or hear my words.


    The tension in the air increased.


    I struggled to keep my smile, which made my face feel rigid.


    Finally, after some time, an older witch stepped forward and said, “Debra, you called us here today.


    Please, feel free to speak inly.


    There’s no need for indirectness.


    ”


    Her tone was cool, and her look was unfriendly.


    My cheeks warmed slightly, and I felt both confused and embarrassed.N?velDrama.Org ? content.
