Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Alpha Theo just received a package from an unknown person Once he opens it, he meet a towel covered in blood and a note placed on it.

"This will be the blood of Kimberly and later you will be next in line if you do not mind your business!"

Alpha Theo paced around his study, his mind reeling from the note and the blood-stained towel. Anger and fear warred within him.

’Who would dare threaten me? And Kimberly?’ He clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening. ’Derrick must be behind this. Who else would stoop so low?’

He threw the note on his desk and stormed toward his closet to grab his jacket. *If Derrick thinks he can intimidate me, he’s in for a rude awakening.*

But as he reached for the door, a sudden thought halted him. *No... This is too direct for Derrick. He’s calculating, but this? This feels like someone trying to provoke me into making a mistake.*

A knock interrupted his thoughts. "Come in!" he barked, his voice sharper than he intended.

One of his trusted men, Leo, entered. "Sir, we found the man who delivered the package. He didn’t get far. He’s in the holding room now."

Alpha Theo’s eyes narrowed. "Good. Let’s see who’s behind this."

Leo hesitated. "Sir, there’s something strange about him. He keeps laughing... like he knows something we don’t."

Theo’s expression darkened. "Take me to him."

In the pack’s underground holding room, the atmosphere was tense. The man sat chained to a chair, his head tilted back as he chuckled darkly. His laughter echoed off the stone walls, sending chills through Theo’s men.

Theo entered, his presence commanding silence. The man’s laughter ceased, and he turned his gaze toward the Alpha with a twisted grin.

"Alpha Theo," the man drawled. "Such a pleasure to finally meet the great protector of the weak."

Theo ignored the bait. "Who sent you?" he demanded, his voice cold.

The man shrugged. "Does it matter? The message is clear, isn’t it? Stay out of Kimberly’s life, or face the consequences."

Theo stepped closer, his eyes blazing. "And you think this will scare me? You think a bloody towel and empty threats will stop me from protecting her?"

The man leaned forward as far as his chains would allow. "It’s not a threat, Alpha. It’s a promise. Kimberly’s fate is sealed. And if you continue to interfere, so is yours."

Theo grabbed the man by the collar, lifting him slightly off the chair. "Who sent you?" he growled, his patience wearing thin.

The man’s grin widened. "You’ll find out soon enough. But by then, it’ll be too late."

Theo threw him back into the chair with a force that made the chains rattle. "Take him to the cells," he ordered his men. "He’s not leaving until he talks."

The man laughed again as he was dragged away. "Tick-tock, Alpha! Time’s running out!"

Back in his study, Theo paced again, his mind racing. *This isn’t just about Derrick anymore. There’s someone else in play—someone dangerous.*

He poured himself a glass of whiskey, hoping it would steady his nerves. *Kimberly... If only I could get to her and warn her.*

But the thought of stepping into Derrick’s territory again made him pause. *It’s a trap. They’ll be waiting for me. But if I don’t act now...*

A sudden knock on his door made him jump. "What is it now?"

Leo entered, his face pale. "Sir, we’ve just received word from one of our spies in Derrick’s pack. Something’s happening there."

Theo set his glass down. "What do you mean?"

"The spy says Mona’s been acting strange. She’s been gathering certain herbs and ingredients from the pack’s physician. He thinks she’s preparing something... possibly a potion or poison."

Theo’s eyes widened. *Mona... What is she planning?*

Leo continued, "And there’s more. Derrick has doubled the guards around Kimberly’s quarters. It’s like he’s preparing for something."

Theo’s jaw tightened. *Kimberly’s in immediate danger.*

"I need to act now," he said aloud, more to himself than to Leo.

Leo frowned. "Sir, if you go now, you’re walking into a trap. Derrick’s expecting you."

"I know," Theo replied. "But Kimberly’s safety is more important. If Mona’s planning something, I can’t sit back and do nothing."

Before Leo could protest further, Theo grabbed his coat and headed for the door.

Meanwhile, back in Derrick’s territory, Kimberly sat in her room, her nerves fraying with each passing moment. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

*Why do I feel like I’m being watched?*

She stood and paced, trying to calm herself. But then she noticed it—a faint shadow outside her window.

Her heart raced. *Someone’s out there.*

"Who’s there?" she called out, her voice trembling.

The shadow didn’t move, but a faint whisper reached her ears. "Kimberly... The moon will rise, but the sun must fall first."

She ran to the window, but by the time she reached it, the shadow was gone.

A knock at her door made her jump. "Kimberly, it’s Mona. May I come in?"

Kimberly hesitated. "One moment." She quickly composed herself and opened the door.

Mona entered, her smile warm but her eyes calculating. "How are you feeling? You’ve been through so much."

"I’m fine," Kimberly replied, keeping her voice steady.

Mona sat on the edge of the bed, her expression softening. "I just want you to know, Kimberly, that I care about you. Despite everything that’s happened, you’re always my sister."

Kimberly forced a smile. "Thank you, Mona. That means a lot."

But inwardly, she was on high alert. *Mona never talks like this. What is she up to, could this be the beginning of her test?*

As Mona stood to leave, she paused at the door. "Oh, one more thing. The physician would like to see you tomorrow morning. Just a routine check-up."

Kimberly nodded, though her gut told her something wasn’t right.

As soon as Mona left, Kimberly locked the door and leaned against it. *A check-up? Or something else?*

The tension in the air was suffocating, and Kimberly knew she couldn’t trust anyone—not even the walls around her...
