Chapter 120
That is not what I intended… Caleb attempted to explain, anxiety tightening his voice.
Alexander’s gaze snapped up, his eyes blazing with fury.
He accused loudly, ‘Caleb, you go too far!”
Jared, enraged, stormed towards the First Hall’s private chamber, wrenching the door open.
“Isabella, emerge!” he roared, his eyes flashing with fury.
“Have you not made a great show of leaving home, vowing never to return? What right have you to request a gift from Caleb? You’ve upset Emily! Apologize to her!”
Caleb’s face drained of color; he seized Jared’s arm.
Jared, do not be reckless! I wished to give the gift; it is not Isabella’s fault!”
Jared flung off his grasp.
“Mind your own affairs!”
Caleb stumbled back, his back colliding with the wall; darkness clouded his vision as he slid down helplessly. His wolf cried out in pain and fear.
Emily watched the conflict unfold, a triumphant smirk playing on her lips, a sinister glint in her eyes. Caleb favored me!
When Caleb collapsed, she didn’t rush forward to feign concern.
“Caleb!” Alexander exclaimed, rushing to his side.
Emily hurried over, affecting anxiety, her voice trembling.
“Caleb!”
Jared, despite his anger, panicked at Caleb’s collapse. He rushed to his side, supporting him. Self–reproach laced
his voice.
“Caleb! I apologize; I did not mean to!”
Alexander and Jared surrounded him, calling anxiously.
“Caleb! What troubles you?” Alexander asked, his worry evident; he touched Caleb’s face.
Jared clenched his fists.
“I apologize, Caleb; I should not have grown so angry.”
Emily knelt beside him, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling.
“Caleb, awaken!”

Those present at my birth celebration were aware of the Miller pack’s treatment of me; none appealed to familial
ties.
Their concern was for me.
I remained impassive, observing them.
My expression remained unchanged; it was as if the fallen one was not family, but a stranger. My wolf felt nothing but cold indifference.
The sound of approaching healers grew louder, and soon, they arrived with a stretcher, carefully lifting Caleb onto
In that moment, he barely opened his eyes.
Caleb’s gaze searched the crowd, stubbornly seeking my form. When he finally found me, his heart ached–my eyes held no concern, only coldness and indifference.
That pain surpassed any physical discomfort; it was as if an invisible force had clenched his heart. After losing consciousness, countless images flooded his mind.
He dreamt that he’d harmed me for Emily’s sake, ultimately leading to my demise.
His wolf howled in silent agony.
