Chapter 143: Chapter 143

Mona sat on the luxurious couch in the grand living room, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest in irritation.

The tension in the air was suffocating. She hated waiting, hated uncertainty.

Just as she was about to call one of her maids to bring her some tea, the door opened, and one of her most loyal men entered.

He bowed deeply, his body language stiff and nervous. "Greetings to you, Luna."

Mona’s sharp eyes immediately fixed on him. "What’s the latest news around the pack?" she demanded, her tone clipped and impatient.

The man hesitated, his head still bowed, as if afraid to meet her gaze.

"Kimberly is missing, Luna," he said finally. "No one knows about her whereabouts."

Mona shot to her feet, her face a mixture of shock and fury.

"What do you mean, Kimberly is nowhere to be found? How does someone just vanish into thin air without a trace?" Her voice echoed through the room, heavy with authority and anger.

The man swallowed hard, his hands trembling slightly. "Luna, I... I thought this might have been your plan. But now, I’m not sure."

Mona’s glare could have frozen fire. "Do I look like someone who allows such incompetence in my plans?" she spat.

"If this were my doing, I would not be standing here questioning you." She stepped closer to him, her tone lowering but losing none of its venom.

*Who could possibly have done this? Could it be Derrick?

Could alpha Theo have the guts to step into this pack again at night?

I guess this must have been done by an insider... But who could it be?*Mona thought.

"Get me every scrap of information from last night until now. I need answers. And I need them quickly."

"Yes, Luna," the man stammered, bowing again. He turned to leave, desperate to escape her wrath.

But just as he reached the door, Alpha Derrick entered the room.

His presence was a storm, his steps deliberate, his face twisted in a fury rarely seen.

The air grew heavier, and Mona, for the first time in a long while, felt a twinge of fear.

"You," Derrick barked, his voice cutting through the room like a blade. "Return to the living room and get on your knees."

The man froze mid-step, his face pale as he turned and knelt on the floor.

His trembling was now visible, and even Mona could feel the oppressive weight of Derrick’s anger.

"What are you here to do?" Derrick asked coldly, his piercing gaze fixed on the man.

The man opened his mouth to speak, but Mona quickly interjected. "He was—"

Derrick’s sharp glare silenced her instantly.

"Mona, I did not ask you anything. You will speak only when I say so," he growled, his voice low but filled with warning.

Mona stiffened, her usual composure cracking slightly. She clenched her fists but said nothing, her eyes narrowing at his tone.

*What is Derrick up to, is he trying to act innocent about Kimberly’s disappearance?* Mona thought to herself.

"Now, speak!" Derrick ordered the man again, his voice booming.

The man’s voice wavered as he answered.

"I... I was only here to inform the Luna about what’s happening around the pack house, Alpha. Especially about the sudden disappearance of Kimberly."

Derrick’s expression darkened further. He strode forward and bent down, his face mere inches from the man’s ear.

The room seemed to grow colder. "What do you know about Kimberly’s disappearance?" Derrick hissed.

"Talk to me now, while I’m still being kind."

The man’s eyes squeezed shut, his body trembling. "Alpha, I swear I know nothing. I... I have no idea where she is or how she disappeared. I swear on my life."

Derrick straightened, his eyes burning with suspicion.

He glanced at Mona briefly, her rigid posture betraying her discomfort, before turning his attention back to the man.

"If you’re lying," Derrick said, his voice calm but laced with menace,

"if I find out you had even the slightest connection to Kimberly’s disappearance, I will make you pay. And not with words, but with your life."

The man nodded frantically, his head bobbing like a puppet on strings.

"I swear, Alpha, I would never deceive you," he stammered, his voice barely audible.

Derrick took a step back, his eyes never leaving the man. "Get out," he commanded.

The man didn’t need to be told twice. He scrambled to his feet, bowed, and practically ran out of the room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway.

As the door slammed shut behind him, the silence that followed was deafening.

Derrick turned slowly to face Mona, his jaw clenched, his fists tight at his sides.

The fury in his eyes made her heart race, though she did her best to hide it.

"Talk to me, Mona," Derrick said, his voice calm but deadly. "Why do you want Kimberly eliminated?"

Mona froze, the words hitting her like a slap. Her eyes widened slightly, but she quickly masked her shock with defiance.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about," she replied, her voice steady but lacking conviction.

Derrick stepped closer, his towering presence forcing her back into the couch.

He leaned down, his face level with hers, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Don’t lie to me, Mona. Not now."

Mona’s mind raced as she tried to come up with a response, but the intensity of Derrick’s gaze and the venom in his tone left her speechless.

"You think I’m blind?" Derrick continued, his words sharp and cutting.

"Do you think I don’t notice the way you look at Kimberly? The way you talk about her?

I’ve ignored it for too long, but not anymore. Now, you’re going to tell me the truth."

Mona’s lips parted, but no words came out. For the first time in years, she felt powerless.

The room seemed to shrink around her as Derrick’s words hung in the air, thick with anger and accusation.

Derrick was never leaving the living room with tension and unanswered questions looming like a dark storm on the horizon...
