Her impulsive and disrespectful gesture infuriated me.

My expression turned cold as I ordered, “Let go!”

“No!” Alexandria clung on, desperate not to be dismissed.

“Forgive me and promise you won’t push me away.

Was she now using this as leverage?

Worried that we could be seen and spark rumors, potentially worsening Debra’s misinterpretation, I was about to forcibly remove her when an awkward voice interrupted.

“Alpha, I hope I’m not disturbing.

Is this a bad timing?”

I jerked away from Alexandria as if electrocuted and swiftly turned to replace out who was talking.

It wasn’t someone I knew, but a guard I didn’t recognize.

Feeling a bit more at ease, I cleared my throat twice and inquired calmly, “Who are you, and what do you need?”

The guard looked visibly uncomfortable.

Caleb’s POV:

“I’m Aaron Brown, one of the guards stationed at the pack’s entrance.

The guard introduced himself briefly before presenting me with an invitation.

Handing it over with respect, he said, “Alpha, someone specifically requested that I deliver this to you.

Frowning, I accepted the invitation, scrutinizing it.

“What’s this about?”

As far as I knew, none of my acquaintances had upcoming celebrations.

The guard’s cheeks reddened further, his discomfort evident as he stuttered, “This is Luna’s engagement announcement.

“What?” I paled instantly, my heart plummeting.

I fixed an intense gaze on the guard, teeth clenched.

“The Luna you’re referring to, is it Debra?”

“Yes.

” The guard observed my response.

“Alpha, why would Luna get engaged to another man? Have you two parted ways?”

I tightened my hold on the invitation but maintained my silence.

Had Debra become so disillusioned with me that she’d intentionally sent her engagement invitation?

No, that couldn’t be her.

She loved me and had integrity; surely she wouldn’t resort to this out of mere disappointment.

I attempted to compose myself, and once my breathing steadied, I asked, “Who delivered this invitation?”

The guard shook his head, feeling confused.

“I’m not sure.

He didn’t provide his name; he simply delivered the invitation and left.

I was greatly displeased, my brows furrowing.

“You don’t know who it was, yet you still gave it to me? Aren’t you concerned that it might be part of a scheme?”
