Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Kimberly and Alpha Theo were in the living room, enjoying one another’s company.

Their conversation flowed easily, touching on topics both lighthearted and profound.

"Freedom is so important. I can’t even remember the last time I felt this free," Kimberly said, her voice laced with a sense of relief.

Alpha Theo smiled warmly. "It’s wonderful to finally have you here. Right now, I feel a calmness I’ve never known before."

As they talked, a guard entered the room, his expression serious.

"What is it?" Alpha Theo asked, his tone shifting to one of authority.

"We’ve received news about Alpha Darwin. He was in an accident and has been admitted to the City-County Hospital," the guard said evenly.

Kimberly sprang to her feet. "What? Where is he? Which hospital?" she asked, her voice trembling with concern.

"City-County Hospital," the guard repeated, bowing his head before leaving the room.

"We need to go now," Kimberly said, turning to Theo with urgency in her eyes

"No Kimberly, not now" Alpha Theo said, with a worried expression on his face.

Kimberly paced the room, her heart racing as she thought about Alpha Darwin.

"Theo, we can’t just sit here! What if he’s in danger? He’s my father . I can’t let him die and I don’t trust Derrick and Mona."

Theo stood, his presence calm but commanding.

"Kimberly, I understand how you feel, but going there now is dangerous. Derrick and his people could be there, and they’d recognize you immediately. They’re probably watching everyone who goes in and out of that hospital."

"But he’s hurt!" Kimberly protested, her voice cracking with emotion. "I can’t just sit here knowing that."

Theo stepped closer, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You’re not sitting here and doing nothing. You’re staying safe. That’s the smartest move we can make right now. If you show up, Derrick will use this as an opportunity to corner you." He replied.

Kimberly clenched her fists, fighting back tears. "It feels like I’m running away."

"No," Theo said firmly. "You’re not running. You’re choosing the right moment to act. Trust me. Let me go there first. I’ll find out everything, and I won’t let anything happen to Alpha Darwin."

Kimberly hesitated, her breathing uneven. "Promise me you’ll watch closely. If anything happens—"

"I promise," Theo interrupted, his voice steady. "I’ll take some of my men with me. No one from Derrick’s pack will know I’m there."

Kimberly swallowed hard and nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Okay. But please, Theo, be careful."

At the hospital, Theo strode into the main lobby, flanked by two of his most trusted warriors. He wore a simple black hoodie, the hood pulled low to conceal his face. His men spread out subtly, blending into the crowd.

"Stay alert," Theo murmured into his earpiece. "If you see anyone from Derrick’s pack, let me know immediately."

He approached the reception desk and asked in a low voice, "Alpha Darwin’s room?"

The receptionist gave him a curious look but didn’t question him further. "Third floor, room 312."

Theo nodded, slipping away from the desk without drawing attention. As he made his way up the stairs, he caught snippets of conversation from the hospital staff.

"Did you hear about that rogue attack? They said it wasn’t random."

"Alpha Darwin’s condition is critical. He might not make it."

Theo’s jaw tightened as he absorbed the information. Reaching the third floor, he stopped short when he saw two men in black suits standing near alpha Darwin’s door.

Their posture was stiff, their eyes scanning the hallway.

’Derrick’s enforcers,’ Theo thought grimly. He slipped into a nearby supply closet, pulling out his phone to text his men.

"Two guards at Darwin’s room. Distract them. Quietly."

Moments later, one of Theo’s warriors strolled into the hallway, pretending to be lost. "Excuse me," he said loudly, approaching the guards.

"Can you tell me where the restroom is? I’ve been wandering this floor for ages."

The guards exchanged a look, clearly annoyed. "Down the hall, to the right," one of them said gruffly.

"Thanks," the warrior said, then added, "Oh, wait—do you know if the cafeteria is on this floor too?"

As the guards turned their attention to the distraction, Theo slipped past them and into Darwin’s room.

The sight of Darwin lying motionless on the bed sent a pang through Theo’s chest. The older Alpha looked frail, his face pale and bruised. Machines beeped steadily, monitoring his vitals.

Theo leaned close to Darwin, speaking in a low voice. "Darwin, it’s Theo. I don’t know if you can hear me, but Kimberly’s safe. We won’t let Derrick get to her. You’ve done more for her than anyone else, and I swear I’ll protect her, just like you would."

Darwin didn’t move, but his hand twitched slightly. Theo’s eyes narrowed. He’s still fighting.

Outside the room, Derrick entered the hospital, his expression dark and menacing. Mona followed close behind, her face pale but determined.

"I don’t trust this place," Derrick muttered. "Too many prying eyes."

"Derrick, we’re here to check on my father, not cause a scene," Mona whispered sharply.

"Don’t tell me how to handle things," Derrick snapped, his voice low but venomous. "I need to make sure no one’s interfering."

As they neared Darwin’s room, one of the guards stepped forward. "Alpha Derrick, everything’s clear. No one’s been inside except hospital staff."

"Good," Derrick said, though his eyes swept the hallway suspiciously. "But keep an eye out. If anyone tries anything, you let me know immediately."

Inside the room, Theo froze as he heard Derrick’s voice outside the door. His heart pounded as he quickly ducked behind a curtain, his movements silent.

’Too close, he thought, gripping the handle of his knife just in case.

The door opened, and Derrick strode in, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Darwin’s unconscious form.

’Pathetic old man,’ he thought to himself under his breath. ’You should’ve stayed out of my way.’

Mona gasped softly. "Derrick is my father still alive? I don’t think he’s still conscious"

Derrick stood still, as he had an unreadable expression on his face.

’And he’s weak,’ Derrick shook his head. ’If he’d done his job properly, Kimberly wouldn’t be a problem. Now look at him—helpless.’

Theo’s blood boiled, but he forced himself to stay hidden, his mind racing. *This man is worse than I thought.*

"Who would have done this to my father? Because I don’t want to believe this is just a normal accident" With a suspicious look on her face towards Derrick she uttered.

Mona stepped closer to Darwin, her eyes filling with tears. "He’s not weak. He’s loyal. And he’d never betray his values for power like you would."

Mona said those words, as if she could hear what Derrick was thinking.

Derrick looked shocked, but immediately masked up his expression with a firm look towards alpha Darwin.

Derrick grabbed her arm roughly, his voice a low growl. "Watch your tongue, Mona. Don’t forget who keeps you safe."

She yanked her arm free, glaring at him. "You don’t protect me. You control me. There’s a difference."

Derrick’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He turned back to Darwin, his expression hard. "He won’t wake up anytime soon. Let’s go."

As they left the room, Theo exhaled quietly, his grip on the knife loosening. He stepped out from behind the curtain, his mind spinning. *Kimberly needs to know about this.*

Back at the Lock’s Heart Pack, Kimberly paced the living room, unable to shake her anxiety. When Theo returned, she rushed to him, her eyes filled with questions.

"What happened? Did you see him? Is he okay?"

Theo placed his hands on her shoulders, his gaze steady. "He’s alive, but he’s unconscious.

Derrick and Mona were there. Derrick..." Theo paused, his voice laced with anger. "He’s as cruel as ever. He called Darwin weak for for not playing his cruel games with him."

Kimberly’s face fell, her hands trembling. "This is all my fault. If Darwin hadn’t helped me, he wouldn’t be in this situation."

"No," Theo said firmly. "This is Derrick’s doing. Not yours. And we’re going to make sure he never hurts anyone again."

Kimberly nodded, though fear lingered in her eyes. "What now?"

Theo’s expression darkened. "Now, we plan. Derrick is more dangerous than I thought, and we can’t afford any mistakes."
