Not rebuffing? What implications lay behind those words?

Before I could seek clarification, a stranger’s voice interjected abruptly.

“Caleb? You’ve been Lingering out here.

Why not join the festivities?”

A man, evidently inebriated, stumbled out of the banquet hall towards us, cheeks flushed with alcohol.

As he drew near, his gaze fell upon Alexandria, a smirk playing on his lips as he spoke in a tone laced with intoxication.

“Caleb, it looks like you’re out here trying to win over your future Luna.

No wonder you’ve been MIA for so Long.

With a tilt of his head, he remarked admirably, “The future Luna is as beautiful as the one who’s gone missing.

Caleb, you’re truly fortunate!”

My mind buzzed with confusion.

Collecting myself, I fixed my gaze on the man and inquired, my voice trembling, “What’s the meaning of this? Future Luna?”

Oblivious to the tension, the man, taken aback by my question, responded, “You don’t know?”

He gestured towards Alexandria, his tone serious, as he introduced her.

“This lovely lady is the future Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack.

Caleb just made the announcement at the banquet, and it’s become common knowledge.

He cast a glance my way, his bleary eyes filled with sympathy, his drunken visage carrying an expression of pity.

“It looks like you’re the last one to catch on.

Debra’s POV:

Upon hearing that, I staggered and almost fell to the ground.

It was as if a fierce bolt of lightning had struck, with my body quivering beyond my control.

A pained murmur escaped me.

I instinctively grasped my chest, where a sharp ache throbbed.

Meeting Caleb’s gaze, disappointment flooded me as I questioned, “Is it true, Caleb?”

Caleb’s complexion pated, panic evident in his expression.

“No, that’s not it.

.

Releasing Alexandria, he hurried to grasp my hand, pleading, “Debra, please listen to me.

There’s been a misunderstanding!”

But his time I couldn’t bring myself to listen.

The intoxicated man’s words reverberated in my mind.

“The future Luna is as beautiful as the one who’s gone missing.

Caleb, you’re truly fortunate!”

“This lovely lady is the future Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack.

Caleb just made the announcement at the banquet, and it’s become common knowledge.

It looks like you’re the last one to catch on.
