Chapter 123: Chapter 123

Alpha Derrick stepped into the hospital lobby, his expression hard and unreadable.

Mona was pacing furiously, her fists clenched, her frustration palpable. The moment she saw him, she stormed toward him.

"Derrick, this is ridiculous!" she snapped. "How can a whole alpha disappear from a hospital with no trace? What kind of security are they running here?"

Alpha Derrick raised a hand to calm her. "We’ll get to the bottom of this, Mona. Let’s not lose focus."

The doctor on duty, visibly shaking, approached them hesitantly. "Alpha, Luna, I swear, this is beyond anything I’ve ever seen.

Alpha Darwin was in his bed the last time I checked."

"Save it," Mona cut him off sharply. "If you were doing your job properly, he wouldn’t have vanished!"

Alpha Derrick placed a firm hand on Mona’s shoulder.

"Let’s handle this logically. Doctor, gather the security team and meet us in the control room. I want every second of footage reviewed."

"Yes, Alpha," the doctor stammered and rushed off.

Minutes later, Derrick, Mona, and the hospital’s head of security stood in the dimly lit control room, watching as the CCTV footage played on the screen.

Derrick’s eyes were locked on the screen, scanning every frame with a keen intensity.

"There," Mona said suddenly, pointing at the screen. "Pause it!"

The footage showed two nurses entering Alpha Darwin’s room. But something about their movements seemed off.

"Zoom in," Derrick ordered.

The security officer zoomed in, but the faces of the nurses were partially obscured.

One of them glanced briefly at the camera, and her face was blurry, almost as if it had been deliberately tampered with.

"That’s impossible," Mona muttered, her voice laced with suspicion. "How can their faces not be clear?"

"I don’t think they’re real nurses," Derrick said grimly. "Doctor, who are these people? Were they on the roster tonight?"

The doctor, sweating profusely, shook his head. "No, Alpha. I don’t recognize them."

"Then how did they get access to a restricted area?" Derrick demanded, his voice rising.

"I... I don’t know," the doctor stammered.

Mona clenched her fists. "This is a joke! Two strangers walk in, and no one notices? What kind of operation are you running here?"

The head of security interjected cautiously, "Alpha, Luna, there’s no sign of them leaving the hospital on the footage. It’s as if they vanished into thin air."

Derrick’s jaw tightened. "Check every angle. Every exit. I want answers."

They spent the next hour combing through the footage, but no matter how hard they looked, the mysterious figures seemed to have disappeared.

It was as if Alpha Darwin had been erased from existence.

Finally, Derrick stepped back from the screen, frustration etched on his face.

"Enough. This is getting us nowhere."

Mona spun to face him. "Nowhere? Derrick, my father is missing! You can’t just—"

"I said enough," Derrick snapped, his voice cutting through her anger.

He softened his tone when he saw the hurt in her eyes. "Mona, I’m just as worried as you are. But this isn’t helping. Let me handle it."

Mona took a deep breath, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Fine. But I want updates. Constantly."

Derrick nodded and turned to his men. "Escort Luna back to the packhouse. Make sure she’s safe."

One of the guards stepped forward. "Yes, Alpha."

Mona hesitated, looking like she wanted to argue, but finally relented. "Don’t keep me in the dark, Derrick."

"I won’t," he assured her.

As Mona left with the guards, Derrick’s demeanor shifted. He turned to the doctor, his expression cold and calculating.

"Now that she’s gone, let’s talk," Derrick said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

The doctor’s eyes widened. "Alpha, I’ve told you everything I know—"

"Good job," Derrick interrupted, his voice low. "But no one else should know about Alpha Darwin’s disappearance. Do you understand me?"

The doctor nodded quickly. "Yes, Alpha."

"And the security team?"

"They won’t say a word," the doctor promised.

"Good. I’ll handle the rest," Derrick said, his voice heavy with finality.

Without another word, he turned and walked out of the hospital, his mind already racing with plans.

Something bigger was at play, and Derrick was determined to uncover the truth—no matter the cost.

Alpha Theo stood in the center of his living room, the tension evident in his clenched fists and furrowed brow.

He barely noticed the faint creak of the door as his right-hand man, Elijah, entered.

Elijah stepped forward, bowing his head respectfully before speaking.

"Alpha, we are set. We await your order to proceed with the search," Elijah said, his voice steady and determined.

Theo’s gaze shifted to him, his expression calm but intense. "Good," he said firmly. "Then let’s all move."

Elijah raised his head slightly, hesitation flickering in his eyes. "No, Alpha. You don’t need to go with us."

Theo’s brows furrowed, his piercing eyes locking onto Elijah’s.

The room seemed to grow quieter as his voice cut through the tension. "Why do you not want me to go with you, Elijah?"

Elijah straightened his posture, his tone both respectful and resolute.

"Alpha, it’s not that we don’t value your presence.

But I feel like you don’t trust our ability to deliver. We are fully capable, and I am certain we will find Kimberly and bring her back to you, safe and sound."

Theo let the words hang in the air for a moment.

His jaw tightened as he considered Elijah’s statement. Then, with a small, calm smile, he stepped closer, placing a firm hand on Elijah’s shoulder.

"I trust you, Elijah," Theo said, his voice carrying a tone of reassurance. "I trust all of you.

You’re not just my men—you’re my family. And it’s because of that trust that I want to join you. I’m not doubting your abilities."

He paused, his grip on Elijah’s shoulder tightening slightly as he continued.

"But I know Kimberly’s scent better than anyone else. If I come along, it will make the search faster and easier.

This isn’t about trust—it’s about efficiency and doing whatever it takes to bring her back."

Elijah’s shoulders relaxed slightly as he let out a deep breath, his respect for Theo shining in his eyes.

"I understand, Alpha," he said softly, bowing his head again. "We’ll be stronger with you by our side."

Theo nodded and let go of Elijah’s shoulder. His expression softened slightly, though his determination burned brighter than ever.

He looked toward the doorway where several of his men waited silently, their eyes filled with the same resolve.

"This isn’t just a mission," Theo said, turning to address everyone in the room.

"This is about family. Kimberly is mine and that makes her one of us, and we will bring her back. No matter what it takes."

A low murmur of agreement swept through the room, each man standing a little taller as Theo’s words fueled their resolve.

Elijah stepped back, his voice ringing with determination. "We’re ready, Alpha. Just give the word."

Theo glanced around the room one last time, his jaw set, his heart steady.

Then he took a deep breath, the weight of responsibility heavy but welcome on his shoulders.

"Now, let’s go," he said, his voice firm and clear, cutting through the air like a blade.

The men nodded, their movements sharp and purposeful, as they followed Theo out the door into the with the mission etched in their hearts.

Mona sat in the back seat of the car, her mind drifting aimlessly until she decided to break the silence.

Her voice was calm but tinged with curiosity.

"What is going on lately in the pack? I haven’t really been paying attention to anything except my father," she asked, folding her arms across her chest.

The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his face hesitant.

After a brief pause, he replied, "Luna, it’s about Ma’am Elena and Kimberly. They were both kidnapped recently.

But Ma’am Elena has been returned. Kimberly is still missing."

The words hit Mona like a thunderbolt. She straightened in her seat, her heartbeat quickening.

"Wait—what? Both Elena and Kimberly? Kidnapped? By who?" Her voice rose, a mixture of surprise and agitation.

The driver kept his focus on the road but explained cautiously.

"No one knows who took them, Luna. But Ma’am Elena said the people who kidnapped them claimed Kimberly was the one they needed. So, they let her go and kept Kimberly."

Mona’s lips parted slightly in shock. Her mind raced as she processed the information.

Slowly, a sly smile began to form on her lips, though she quickly masked it.

*Finally, something is going right for me,* she thought, her excitement bubbling under the surface.

*If Kimberly is gone for good, then everything will fall into place.*

But she couldn’t keep her thoughts to herself for long.

"I hope she never returns or is found dead," she muttered absentmindedly, the words slipping out before she realized the driver could hear her.

The driver’s eyes darted to the mirror, his expression a mix of disbelief and discomfort.

"What did you say, ma’am?"

Mona snapped out of her thoughts and turned her gaze sharply to him.

"It’s none of your business," she snapped, her voice cold. "Just keep driving."

"Yes, Luna," he murmured, wisely deciding not to push further.

*Why did I even say that out loud?* Mona berated herself internally.

*I need to be more careful. But still, this is the best news I’ve heard all week.

With Kimberly out of the picture, everything will be so much easier.*

Her thoughts churned as she leaned back in her seat, staring out of the window. *Who could have kidnapped them? And why Kimberly?*

Despite her excitement, a small part of her felt uneasy.

*What if this turns out to be more complicated than I thought? What if someone powerful is involved?*

The driver’s voice broke through her musings. "Ma’am, we’re here at the pack house," he said, pulling the car to a stop.

He quickly got out and opened her door.

Mona stepped out, nodding briskly at the driver before walking toward the main entrance.

She didn’t waste a moment before heading toward the physician’s chamber, determined to find out more about the situation.

As she approached the chamber, her eyes caught something unusual—a figure emerging from the forest behind the physician’s place.

Her breath hitched. Her pace slowed as she squinted to get a better look.

No. It couldn’t be.

But it was.

Kimberly.

Walking out of the forest, her face pale but calm, her steps steady as if she were untouchable.

Mona froze, her heart thundering in her chest.

Her lips moved before she could stop them, and the words escaped in a whisper filled with disbelief and frustration.

"How come you’re still alive?"

Kimberly stopped in her tracks and turned to face Mona, her expression unreadable.

Mona’s shock turned to anger as she clenched her fists, her carefully laid thoughts unraveling into chaos...
