Chapter 134: Chapter 134

Kimberly froze in shock as Alpha Theo closed the distance between them.

Her heart raced, and her mind spun in disbelief. How could he be here? Of all places, why now?

"Don’t come any closer!" Kimberly hissed under her breath, her voice laced with panic.

She glanced around nervously, knowing Derrick’s guards could appear at any moment. "It’s too dangerous for you to be seen here!"

Theo ignored her warning, his confident strides never faltering. His eyes softened as he stood before her, pulling her into a firm embrace.

Kimberly stiffened at first but quickly melted into his arms, overwhelmed by a mix of fear and relief.

"I’ve missed you," Theo murmured, his voice low and soothing. "And I don’t care what dangers I face. All I care about is your safety."

Kimberly hugged him tighter, her emotions swirling uncontrollably.

"What are you doing here, Theo?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "How did you even find me? This is insane. You shouldn’t be here."

Theo pulled back slightly, his hands resting on her shoulders as he looked into her eyes.

"Kimberly, I’d cross a thousand borders to find you. I had to make sure you were okay."

She shook her head, her worry evident. "You shouldn’t have come. Derrick’s men—"

Before she could finish, Theo interrupted with a small, confident smile.

"No one would dare touch me. I am Alpha Theo. I’m not afraid of Derrick or his pack."

Kimberly stared at him, torn between admiration and exasperation.

"You’re reckless," she muttered. "I’m fine, Theo. You need to leave before—"

Her words were cut off by the sound of footsteps. Within moments, Derrick’s guards emerged from the shadows, surrounding Theo.

Kimberly’s heart sank as her worst fears became reality.

"Alpha Theo," one of the guards sneered, his tone mocking. "You’ve got a lot of nerve stepping onto our territory."

Theo didn’t flinch. His expression remained calm, almost smug, as he stood his ground.

"I didn’t come here to fight," he said evenly, his voice carrying authority. "I came to see someone important to me."

Before the guards could respond, Alpha Derrick arrived, his presence commanding as he stepped into the tense scene.

His sharp eyes darted between Theo and Kimberly, his lips curling into a smirk.

"Well, well, well," Derrick began, clapping his hands slowly as he approached.

"Look who decided to pay us a visit. To what do I owe this... unexpected intrusion?"

Theo turned to face Derrick fully, his posture unwavering.

"I didn’t plan on meeting you today, Derrick," he said, his tone steady but firm.

"But since you’re here, I might as well make things clear."

Derrick raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Oh? And what exactly do you want to make clear, Theo?"

Theo took a step forward, his voice steady and resolute. "I’m here to take Kimberly with me."

Kimberly’s breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening in shock. She glanced at Theo, then at Derrick, whose expression darkened instantly.

The smirk vanished from Derrick’s face as he stared at Theo. "Excuse me?" he said, his voice low and dangerous.

"You heard me," Theo replied, his tone unwavering. "I’m here to take Kimberly out of this place. She doesn’t belong here."

Derrick let out a short, humorless laugh, shaking his head. "You’re bold, Theo. I’ll give you that.

But you must be delusional if you think you can waltz into my territory and take one of my maids."

Theo’s jaw tightened. "Don’t insult her by calling her a maid. Kimberly is more than that. She’s more than you’ll ever understand."

Derrick stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. "And what exactly do you think you’re going to do about it? You think you can just take her and walk away?"

"I don’t think," Theo said with a smirk. "I know. Kimberly will be my Luna. With or without your approval."

Kimberly’s heart pounded as she watched the exchange. She wanted to speak, to stop them before things escalated, but she couldn’t find the words.

The tension between the two alphas was suffocating.

Derrick’s gaze flicked to Kimberly briefly before returning to Theo. "You’ve got guts, Theo. I’ll give you that. But guts won’t get you far here."

Theo didn’t back down. "I’m not afraid of you, Derrick. I’ll come back for her, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me."

Derrick chuckled darkly, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes.

"You’ve made a mistake coming here. But I’ll let you walk away today. Consider it a gesture of mercy. Next time, you won’t be so lucky."

Theo didn’t flinch. He turned to Kimberly, his gaze softening slightly. "I’ll be back for you, Kimberly," he said, his voice quieter but no less determined. "Wait for me."

Kimberly’s lips parted, but before she could respond, Theo turned and walked away, his steps confident.

Derrick’s guards moved to follow him, but Derrick raised a hand, stopping them.

"Let him go," Derrick ordered, his tone sharp. "For now."

As Theo disappeared into the forest, Derrick turned to Kimberly, his eyes cold and calculating.

He said nothing, but the look he gave her was enough to send a chill down her spine.

Kimberly swallowed hard, her heart hammering in her chest.

*What’s going to happen now?* she thought, panic and uncertainty flooding her mind.

Without another word, Derrick turned and walked away, leaving Kimberly standing there with her friends, the weight of his silent warning hanging heavily in the air.

As Alpha Derrick strode away from the scene, his face dark with anger, he almost collided with Elena, who was heading toward the commotion.

Their eyes met briefly, but neither spoke. Derrick moved past her briskly, his jaw clenched, while Elena continued toward Kimberly and her friends.

The moment Elena appeared, Kimberly and her friends rushed to her, their faces pale with fear and anxiety.

"Tell me everything," Elena demanded sharply, her stern gaze fixed on Kimberly. "And don’t leave anything out."

Kimberly swallowed hard, her nerves making her hands tremble. She nodded and led Elena to her room in the maids’ quarters.

Mohandria, Kaitlyn, and Lisa followed silently, their worry evident in the tense air.

Once inside the room, Kimberly sat down on her small wooden bed.

Elena remained standing, her arms crossed and her expression hard. "Speak," Elena commanded.

Kimberly took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper as she began.

"Alpha Theo and I... we’ve been in a relationship for some time now. I met him before Alpha Derrick... before he rejected me."

Her words hit the room like a thunderclap. Mohandria gasped, Kaitlyn’s jaw dropped, and Lisa simply stared in stunned silence.

Elena, however, narrowed her eyes, her lips pressed into a thin line.

"You mean to tell me," Elena began, her tone icy, "that you’ve been involved with another alpha all this time? Behind Derrick’s back?"

Kimberly nodded hesitantly. "It wasn’t like that. I didn’t plan for this to happen, Ma’am Elena. Theo... he’s different. He cares about me. He—"

"Cares about you?" Elena interrupted, her voice rising slightly. "Do you understand what this means, Kimberly?

Two alphas can’t own the same woman? You’ve just put yourself at the center of a brewing war!"

Kimberly lowered her gaze, guilt and fear flooding her chest. "I didn’t mean for any of this to happen," she murmured.

Elena let out a frustrated sigh, pacing back and forth. "This is bigger than you think.

Theo’s bold move today... showing up on Derrick’s territory, openly claiming you—it’s a challenge.

A declaration of war, Kimberly. Do you realize what could happen now?"

Kimberly raised her head, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"I never wanted this. I just wanted to be with someone who saw me for who I am, not what I could offer. Derrick rejected me, and Theo... Theo gave me hope."

Elena stopped pacing and stared at her, her stern expression softening slightly.

"Kimberly, I understand your pain, but this isn’t just about love anymore.

This is about power, pride, and the survival of packs. Theo’s actions today have put you in a very dangerous position."

"What do we do now, Ma’am Elena?" Mohandria asked, her voice trembling.

"Is there a way to stop this before it gets worse?"

Elena shook her head. "There’s no stopping this. Not after what happened today. Derrick won’t let this slide.

He’ll see Theo’s move as an insult, a challenge to his authority. And Theo... well, he doesn’t seem like the type to back down."

Kimberly clenched her fists, her heart heavy with dread.

"Theo said he’d come back for me," she said quietly. "He won’t stop until he gets me out of here."

"And Derrick won’t let that happen," Elena replied firmly.

"Which is why you need to be extra careful from now on. Every step you take, every word you say—they’ll all be watched.

One wrong move, Kimberly, and you could be the reason lives are lost."

The weight of Elena’s words crushed Kimberly’s chest, but she nodded slowly. "I’ll be careful," she promised.

Elena looked at the other girls. "That goes for all of you. Keep an eye on Kimberly.

Stay close to her at all times, and if anything seems off, come straight to me."

"Yes, Ma’am Elena," Kaitlyn said, her voice shaky but resolute.

"I need to leave now," Elena said, glancing toward the door.

"But I want updates. If anything happens—anything at all—you come to me immediately. Understood?"

"Yes, ma’am," Kimberly and the others replied in unison.

Elena gave Kimberly one last look, her eyes filled with both worry and determination.

"Stay strong, Kimberly. This isn’t over." With that, she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

As soon as she was gone, the room fell into silence. Kimberly stared at the floor, her thoughts a chaotic mess.

*This is spiraling out of control. What if Derrick and Theo clash? What if people get hurt because of me?*

Mohandria sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Kim, are you okay?"

"No," Kimberly admitted, her voice trembling. "I don’t know what to do. I feel like everything’s slipping through my fingers."

"We’ll figure it out," Kaitlyn said, trying to sound reassuring. "You’re not alone in this, Kim. We’ll protect you."

Kimberly shook her head. "This isn’t just about me anymore. This is bigger than us. If Derrick and Theo go to war... it’ll be chaos."

"What about Theo?" Lisa asked softly. "Do you trust him?"

Kimberly looked up, her eyes filled with emotion.

"I trust him more than anyone. But that’s what scares me. He’ll do anything to protect me, even if it means putting himself in danger.

And Derrick... he’s ruthless. I can’t let them destroy each other."

Mohandria squeezed her shoulder. "Then we’ll find a way to help. Whatever it takes, we’ll make sure you and Theo stay safe."

Kimberly let out a shaky breath, her mind racing.

*I have to trust Theo. I have to believe he’ll find a way to end this without bloodshed. But what if he can’t? What if I lose him?*

Kimberly closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to steady herself.

*This isn’t over. Not by a long shot. But I’ll do whatever it takes to protect the people I love.*

She opened her eyes, her resolve hardening. *Even if it means risking everything.*
