Reclaimed By The Alpha King
Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Chapter 138

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale light over the packhouse.

Elena moved silently, her steps light but determined. When she reached Kimberly’s door, she knocked softly.

The door opened almost immediately, revealing Kimberly standing there, her face pale and eyes filled with fear.

"You came," Kimberly whispered, her voice trembling.

"Of course I came," Elena replied firmly as she stepped inside and shut the door behind her.

"Did you think I’d leave you to face this madness alone?"

Kimberly bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.

"I don’t know what to think anymore. Everything feels like a trap. And now, leaving... it feels like running away."

Elena placed her hands on Kimberly’s shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes.

"It’s not running away. It’s survival. Staying here will get you killed. Do you understand me? Killed."

"I got more information about what alpha Derrick is planning to do come morning.

Kimberly, if you don’t move now... You might end up locked in a place where only alpha Derrick will have access to you."

"Why does he want to do that?" Kimberly asked, with a shaky voice filled with fear.

"I have told you numerous times, Derrick wants power to control all and that is what you signifies and carry inside of you." Elena explained.

*Such power and I can’t protect myself or even help those that I Love? I don’t feel anything special about me* Kimberly thought to herself with irritation placed on her face.

"I know you might feel like you haven’t been able to see anything important about yourself now.

But what you carry inside you is too powerful, if you don’t get a way to practice how to control it.

It might end up being the bigger problem than what you are experiencing now." Elena further explained.

Kimberly nodded slowly, though her doubt lingered.

"What about my friends? Mohandria, Lisa and Kaitlyn... they don’t know what’s happening.

What if Mona takes her anger out on them because I’m gone?"

Elena sighed deeply, her heart aching for the young woman before her.

"Kimberly, listen to me. Your friends will be fine. Mona and Derrick’s focus are on you, not them.

I’ll make sure they’re protected. But if you stay, you won’t be able to protect anyone—not yourself, not them. Do you understand?"

Kimberly hesitated but finally nodded. "I just... I don’t want anyone else to suffer because of me."

"No one is suffering because of you," Elena said firmly.

"This is Mona’s doing, her poison. Don’t take responsibility for her evil. Now, are you ready?"

Kimberly took a deep breath and nodded again, more resolutely this time. "I’m ready."

"Good," Elena said, grabbing her arm gently. "Let’s move. Quietly."

The two women crept out of Kimberly’s room and into the dimly lit hallway.

Kimberly’s heart pounded in her chest, each step feeling heavier than the last. As they passed through the maids’ quarters, Kimberly whispered,

"What if someone sees us?"

"They won’t," Elena whispered back, her voice steady. "I’ve planned this carefully. Trust me."

They exited the maids’ quarters and made their way through the narrow, shadowy paths that led to the back of the packhouse.

Three guards loyal to Elena were waiting, their faces tense but determined.

"My lady," one of them said, bowing his head slightly.

"Is the path clear?" Elena asked in a hushed tone.

"Yes, but we must move quickly," the guard replied. "We’ve spotted movement near the southern perimeter. It’s likely to be Luna Mona’s men."

Elena’s jaw tightened. "Then we don’t have much time. Let’s go."

They moved quickly but cautiously, staying low and avoiding open areas. Kimberly felt her nerves fraying with each step.

She couldn’t stop glancing over her shoulder, half expecting Mona to appear out of the shadows.

"Ma’am Elena," she whispered, her voice shaking. "What if we don’t make it?"

Elena stopped and turned to her, gripping her shoulders tightly.

"Stop thinking like that. We will make it. I promise you. But you have to keep moving. You can’t freeze up now."

Kimberly nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat.

They finally reached an open area where a vehicle was waiting, its engine idling softly.

Kimberly felt a flicker of hope. They were so close. But just as they started toward the car, a loud thud echoed from behind them.

Everyone froze. Elena turned sharply, her eyes scanning the darkness. In the distance, they saw figures moving—at least five of them, advancing quickly.

"They’ve found us," one of the guards hissed.

Elena’s eyes blazed with determination. "Get Kimberly to the car. Now."

The guards hesitated, their loyalty to Elena warring with their orders.

"I said *now*!" Elena snapped.

Kimberly grabbed her arm. "No! I’m not leaving without you!"

Elena turned to her, her face fierce. "You have to leave, Kimberly. If you stay, none of us will make it. This isn’t up for debate. Get in that car and go!"

Tears streamed down Kimberly’s face as she shook her head. "Ma’am Elena, please—"

"Kimberly," Elena interrupted, her voice softer now but still firm. "If you stay, everything I’ve done will be for nothing.

Do you understand? You have to go. Trust me to handle this."

Kimberly’s lip quivered, but she finally nodded.

"Go," Elena repeated, her voice breaking slightly. "I’ll catch up. I promise."

With a heavy heart, Kimberly turned and ran toward the car, escorted by one of the guards.

As she climbed in and the vehicle began to move, she looked back over her shoulder.

Elena stood her ground, flanked by two of her men. The figures in the distance were closing in fast.

Kimberly pressed her hand against the window, her chest tightening with fear.

And then, a loud gunshot shattered the night.

Kimberly’s breath caught in her throat as she froze, her eyes wide with horror.

The vehicle sped away, but her mind stayed locked on that sound, her heart pounding with dread.

*Elena... please be okay,* she thought, tears streaming down her face as the car disappeared into the darkness...
