Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Alpha Derrick was adjusting his cufflinks as he prepared to leave for the day.

His guards stood beside his sleek black SUV, waiting for him. Just as he reached for the car door, his phone buzzed in his pocket.

The number displayed was unfamiliar, but he decided to answer anyway.

"Derrick," came a voice from the other end, urgent and sharp. "This is Alphonso. We need to meet. It’s about something very important."

Alpha Derrick frowned, gripping the phone tighter. "Important? What could possibly be so urgent that you expect me to drop everything and change my plans for the day?"

There was a pause before Alphonso spoke again, his tone steady but persuasive. "The ball is in your court.

I’m offering you something you want—answers. But you’ll have to meet me. I’ll send the location. And Derrick... come alone."

Before Alpha Derrick could reply, the line went dead.

He lowered the phone, staring at the blank screen as his mind began to churn.

Alphonso was a long-time ally, but this sudden, cryptic call raised his suspicions.

*What could he know that’s worth my time?* Derrick wondered. His thoughts turned to the recent chaos surrounding Kimberly and the mystery gripping his pack.

The familiar beep of an incoming message snapped him out of his thoughts. The message was from Alphonso.

It contained coordinates to an unfinished building on the outskirts of town.

Derrick slipped his phone back into his pocket and turned to the leader of his guard detail.

"I’ll be moving alone today. Something important has come up, and I need privacy. Stay alert, and I’ll call if I need you."

"Yes, Alpha," the guard said with a bow, but his concern was evident.

Sliding into his car, Derrick started the engine. As he drove through the quiet streets, his mind swirled with questions.

*Alphonso has always been reliable, but could this be a trap? And if not, what kind of information does he have that he thinks I’ll drop everything for?*

By the time he arrived at the location, the sun was high, casting sharp shadows across the abandoned structure.

The building was a skeletal frame of concrete and steel, standing tall and desolate.

Derrick parked his car and stepped out, his senses on high alert.

Before he could take another step, he heard a familiar voice echo from within the structure. "Come over, Derrick. I’m here."

Alphonso stood on the second floor, leaning against a pillar, his hand raised in a casual wave.

Derrick’s eyes narrowed as he approached, his every step calculated and deliberate.

The two men met near a set of concrete stairs, their gazes locking.

"You better have something worthwhile to justify dragging me out here, Alphonso," Derrick said, his tone calm but edged with warning.

Alphonso smirked faintly, his sharp eyes betraying no emotion. "I wouldn’t have called you if I didn’t, old friend."

Derrick crossed his arms, waiting.

"Tell me," Alphonso began, "have you discovered anything about Kimberly since we last spoke?" His question hung in the air, his voice laced with curiosity.

Derrick held his gaze, considering his words carefully. After a long pause, he said, "No. Nothing tangible yet. Why do you ask?"

Alphonso took a step closer, his demeanor shifting. His face darkened, and his voice dropped to a near whisper.

"Because, Derrick, you’re digging in places where answers are buried deep, and some truths are more dangerous than you can imagine."

Derrick’s patience was wearing thin. "Enough with the riddles, Alphonso. If you know something, speak plainly."

Alphonso tilted his head, studying Derrick as though weighing how much to reveal. Finally, he spoke, his words precise and deliberate.

"Kimberly is no ordinary girl, Derrick. She’s a hybrid—the first of any kind."

The words hit Derrick like a thunderclap. For a moment, he stood frozen, his mind racing to process what he’d just heard.

"A hybrid, as in werewolf and vampire’s blood in one body?" he repeated, his voice barely audible.

Alphonso’s gaze remained locked on Derrick’s, his expression unreadable. "Yes. And not just any hybrid. Her existence alone is a threat to every balance we’ve ever known."

Derrick stepped back, his thoughts swirling. *A hybrid? Is this why there’s been so much unrest? Could she truly be the key to everything happening in the pack?*

He looked back at Alphonso, his voice steady but strained. "How do you know this? And why tell me now?"

Alphonso’s lips curved into a grim smile. "Because, Derrick, you’re running out of time.

And whether you like it or not, Kimberly’s fate is tied to yours... and the pack’s survival depends on what you do next."

Derrick felt a chill run down his spine. The weight of Alphonso’s words pressed heavily on him...

The moon hung high, its pale light spilling over the quiet corridors as Kimberly slipped out of her room.

She was determined to meet Elena and uncover whatever truth lay ahead.

But as she opened her door, her heart skipped a beat. Mohandria, Lisa, and Kaitlyn stood there, their arms crossed and faces filled with concern.

"Where are you sneaking off to, Kim?" Kaitlyn’s voice was gentle but probing as she looked directly into Kimberly’s eyes.

Kimberly hesitated for a moment before letting out a nervous chuckle. "I’m not sneaking out.

I’m just... going somewhere I need to go alone. There’s something I have to figure out about myself."

Lisa stepped closer, placing a hand on Kimberly’s arm. "Why alone? If it’s that important, we should go with you."

Kimberly sighed, appreciating their concern but firm in her resolve.

"This is something I must do on my own. I don’t know what’s waiting for me, but I feel it’s tied to my past—something only I can face."

Mohandria, who had been silent so far, finally spoke, her voice steady but with an edge of warning.

"Kimberly, we trust you, but I don’t think it’s safe for you to go alone. You’ve been having strange dreams, unexplained feelings... what if this is a trap?"

Kimberly smiled warmly, touched by their care. "I promise, I’ll be careful. I won’t do anything reckless.

But you have to let me go. Please, trust me to handle this."

Mohandria studied her face for a moment before nodding. "Fine. But promise us one thing—you’ll come back to us. No matter what you find."

"I promise," Kimberly said softly, her words carrying both gratitude and determination.

The four friends hugged tightly, an unspoken bond of trust passing between them.

As Kimberly walked away, Lisa called out, "Be safe, Kim! And if you need us, just shout—we’ll find you!"

Kimberly turned briefly, waving with a reassuring smile before disappearing into the shadows.

Elena was waiting near the backyard gates, her arms crossed and her expression unreadable.

She looked up as Kimberly approached, a faint smile breaking her stoic demeanor.

"Good, you’re here," Elena said.

Kimberly glanced around. "Where’s the physician? I thought he was coming with us."

Elena shook her head. "He couldn’t leave the chamber. We have to be discreet.

Too many eyes are watching, and we can’t risk suspicion. It’ll just be the two of us."

Kimberly hesitated but then nodded. "Alright, I will follow your lead ma’am."

They walked in silence at first, the sound of their footsteps blending with the night’s ambient whispers.

Kimberly’s mind was racing, questions swirling as she tried to piece everything together. Finally, she broke the silence.

"Ma’am Elena, why now? Why decide to show me this today?"

Elena didn’t look back as she answered, her voice calm. "Because you’re ready. I’ve have been watching you all along, Kimberly.

I’ve seen your courage, your strength. But you’ve been living in the dark for too long. It’s time for you to understand who you really are."

Kimberly frowned. "Who I really am? You keep saying that, but I don’t even know what that means.

Every time I try to ask, I get half-answers or cryptic riddles."

Elena stopped walking and turned to face her, her eyes soft but serious.

"I know it’s frustrating, Kimberly. But some truths can’t be told—they have to be experienced.

What you’re about to see will change everything. Are you ready for that?"

Kimberly’s breath hitched, but she nodded. "I’m ready. I have to be."

Elena gave her a faint smile and continued walking.

After a while, they reached the edge of the forest, where the shadows grew thicker, and the air felt heavier.

"Take this," Elena said, pulling a small black veil from her bag. "Cover your head. We’re almost there, and it’s better if you’re not recognized."

Kimberly took the veil, her hands trembling slightly as she draped it over her head. "Why the secrecy? What’s at this place we’re going to?"

Elena didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she glanced around, her eyes scanning the trees as if searching for unseen eyes.

Finally, she said, "Because not everyone wants you to know the truth. There are forces at play, Kimberly, bigger than you or me. We have to be cautious."

Kimberly felt a chill run down her spine but pushed the fear aside. She had come too far to turn back now.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the air grew colder, and the sounds of the night seemed to fade.

Kimberly was about to ask another question when, out of nowhere, figures emerged from the shadows.

There were five of them, their faces covered by dark masks, their weapons glinting in the faint moonlight.

"Stop right there," the leader of the group said, his voice sharp and commanding.

Kimberly froze, her heart pounding in her chest. Elena stepped in front of her, shielding her instinctively.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Elena demanded, her voice steady despite the tension in the air.

The leader took a step closer, his blade reflecting the faint light.

"Do not make a sound or move a muscle, otherwise you will be dead before you know it!"

Kimberly’s breath caught in her throat, and at that very moment, she felt truly helpless. The words hung in the air, chilling and final...
