Her voice, usually gentle, now carried a weight of fury.

“Yes, the children have filled me in.

Her tone resonated with such intensity that I found myself at a loss for words.

Clearly, she was furious.

A whirlwind of emotions churned within me-sadness, confusion, and a gnawing sense of injustice.

It seemed every member of the pack knew it.

No one seemed willing to believe my side of the story.

While I was lost in my thoughts, Jenifer asked, “Caleb, how could you betray Debra after all she’s done for you? You loved her deeply once, didn’t you?”

I remained silent, the silence between us growing palpable.

Jenifer’s sigh cut through the tension.

“You’ve disappointed me greatly.

Her words carried a sting, a sharp reminder of my failings.

Her disappointed gaze bore into me, intensifying my discomfort.

Finally, unable to contain the pent-up words any longer, I blurted out, “Mom, believe me, what happened wasn’t what I wanted.

I never intended to betray Debra.

I have my principles.

Jenifer studied me for a beat before pressing further, “Then explain what I heard from Elena and Dylan about you and the secretary, lying naked together in bed in the morning.

She arched an eyebrow, her tone Laced with skepticism.

“Surely you’re not going to tell me you were just having a casual chat under the covers?”

Her words halted my attempt at explanation.

How could I convince her that there was nothing between me and Alexandria?

Once again, I found myself engulfed in silence, unable to refute the damning accusations against me.

I could feel Jenifer’s fiery disappointment as she stood there gazing at me.

“I never imagined I’d raise a son like you,” she lamented, her voice heavy with reproach.

“Mark my words, that secretary will never join the Wright family, nor ascend to the position of Luna in the Thorn Edge Pack!”

Her words resounded with a powerful finality, like a declaration carved in stone.

“Debra will remain the rightful Luna, unchallenged.

No one else shall claim that title beside her.

Never.

Before we could dwell on her words, a sharp rap sounded at the door.

Simultaneously, we turned to face the interruption.

A figure, tall and graceful, stepped into view.

Alexandria entered and hesitated at the doorway clutching a medicine box.

Before we could ask, she explained, “I apologize for intruding, but I’ve come to tend to Alpha’s wounds.

Eduardo Clarkson has just hit Alpha, so I…”

Jenifer cut her off with a derisive scoff.

“Caleb brought this upon himself.

He can endure the pain; perhaps it’ll jolt some sense into him.

Her gaze swept over Alexandria dismissively.

“As for you, a mere secretary, meddling in family matters is unwarranted.

Best you learn your place.

With a shake of her head, Jenifer turned back to me and let out a deep sigh.

“You’ve let me down, Caleb.

Bringing a woman home so carelessly.
