Chapter 140: Chapter 140

Kimberly stretched her arms and sighed deeply, still cocooned in the soft, luxurious bedding.

The morning light streamed through the tall windows, bathing the room in a warm glow.

Despite the comfort of her surroundings, her heart felt heavy.

*Why does it feel like peace is always just out of reach? Where is Theo?* she wondered, scanning the room with her tired eyes.

Just as her thoughts began to spiral, the door creaked open.

Alpha Theo stepped inside, carrying a tray with tea and neatly sliced bread. His presence filled the room with a reassuring calm.

"Good morning," Theo greeted, his smile warm and inviting as he set the tray down on the bedside table.

"How are you feeling today?"

Kimberly blinked, momentarily stunned by the simplicity of his gesture. She had never expected someone as powerful as Theo to bring her breakfast.

"I’m feeling better," she replied softly, offering him a small, grateful smile.

"Thank you for this. I don’t know how to repay your kindness."

"You don’t need to," Theo said, pulling a chair closer to the bed. "Eat. You need your strength."

Kimberly hesitated before taking a sip of the tea. For a brief moment, the warmth of it soothed her frayed nerves.

But Theo’s gaze, calm yet piercing, told her he had questions he was holding back.

The silence stretched for a moment before Theo finally asked,

"Can you tell me what happened last night? How did you manage to escape Derrick’s pack?"

Her hands trembled slightly as she set the cup back on the tray. She shifted her gaze to her lap, her expression clouding over with worry.

"It’s... it’s a long story," Kimberly said, her voice low.

"I have all the time in the world," Theo replied gently, his tone encouraging.

Kimberly took a deep breath, forcing herself to recount the events.

"Ma’am Elena—Alpha Derrick’s sister—warned me that Derrick planned to take me somewhere where he alone could control me. She also said Mona was plotting to kill me."

Theo stiffened in his chair, his jaw tightening. "Mona? Derrick’s wife? Why would she want you dead?"

"I could understand Derrick’s reason for wanting to keep you to himself alone, but why would Mona want you dead?" With anger evident on his face, Theo questioned.

"She sees me as a threat," Kimberly said, her voice breaking slightly.

"She’s afraid Derrick values me more than her. I don’t even understand why I’m so important to them. I don’t want any of this!"

Theo’s fists clenched as anger flared in his eyes. "Selfish fools," he muttered. "They see you as an asset to control or eliminate. But they don’t realize they’re playing with fire."

Kimberly wiped at her eyes, frustration and exhaustion evident in her posture.

"I don’t even know what they want from me. And if I’m so special, why can’t I protect the people who help me?"

Theo leaned forward, his voice firm but understanding.

"Kimberly, you are special. You may not understand your powers yet, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. You just need guidance."

"I am very sure you have been noticing some things about yourself... Just relax, with time and at the right moment, you will get to see who you really are." Theo said confidently.

She looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears.

"What powers, Theo? The ones that couldn’t even save Ma’am Elena? I don’t know if she’s alive or..." She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence as fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.

Theo’s gaze softened, and he moved to sit beside her on the edge of the bed.

"What do you mean? Why don’t you know if she’s alive?"

Kimberly took a shaky breath. "When we were escaping, Elena stayed behind to confront Mona’s guards.

She wanted to buy me time to get away. But then... I heard a gunshot. I don’t know if it was her, Theo. I don’t know if she’s..."

Theo’s hands curled into fists again, his anger barely contained.

*Would Mona truly go that far? Would she harm Derrick’s own sister just to get to Kimberly?

I don’t want to believe she will be that foolish.*

"Listen to me," Theo said, his voice steady and filled with conviction.

"You’re safe now. I promise you, I will find out what happened to Elena. Nothing bad will happen to her—I won’t let it."

Kimberly nodded weakly, though her heart still ached with guilt and fear.

*What if Mona’s men had shot her? I won’t be able to forgive myself, if anything happens to Elena.* Kimberly thought.

Theo stood and paced the room, his mind racing.

*Kimberly needs more than my protection. She needs to stand on her own, to learn what she’s capable of.

If she doesn’t, Derrick and Mona won’t stop until they’ve destroyed her.*

Turning back to Kimberly, he spoke with quiet determination.

"You need to learn to control your powers, Kimberly. It’s the only way to protect yourself and the people you care about.

I can help you, but you have to trust me."

Kimberly stared at him, her expression a mixture of hope and uncertainty.

She wanted to believe him, but the weight of her past failures and the possible chaos that loom made it hard.

Theo’s eyes softened as he added, "You’re stronger than you think. You just don’t know it yet."

She nodded slowly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I’ll try."

Theo gave her a reassuring smile before his expression turned serious once more.

*Time is running out. If Kimberly doesn’t find her strength soon, everything will fall apart.*

He took a deep breath, his resolve hardening.

*Mona and Derrick have no idea what they’ve unleashed.

Kimberly’s destiny is greater than their petty schemes, and I’ll make sure she fulfills it—even if it means going to war.*

Theo stood by the window, staring out into the horizon.

*I will have to take Kimberly to the old wise one at the temple*

His thoughts burned with determination, and the shadows of the past loomed over them both, waiting to strike...
