Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Kimberly sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers nervously playing with the hem of her dress.

Her thoughts were loud, racing in all directions.

*If I truly have the powers they are all talking about, then why am I running?* she thought, her brows furrowed with confusion and frustration.

She sighed deeply, shaking her head. *Theo says I’m special, that I need to learn to control this... gift.

But what if it’s not enough? What if it’s too late?* The thought made her stomach churn.

She took another deep breath, steeling herself. *No, I can’t think like that. I’ll do everything Theo says.

I’ll learn to control my powers. Then I’ll use them to protect myself, protect everyone who’s helping me.*

Her resolve hardened just as the door creaked open. Kimberly looked up to see Alpha Theo step in, his calm yet commanding presence filling the room.

"Good morning," he said warmly, his sharp eyes scanning her from head to toe. "You look stunning."

Kimberly glanced down at the elegant, flowing dress she was wearing—a far cry from the simple clothes she was used to.

"Thank you," she said softly. "But honestly, I’m not used to wearing things like this. It feels... strange."

Theo walked closer, his gaze softening. "You deserve the best, Kimberly. Only the finest things should be yours. Don’t ever feel less than you are."

There was such conviction in his voice that Kimberly felt a flicker of confidence spark within her. She nodded, smiling faintly. "Okay. I’ll try."

"Good," Theo said with a satisfied nod. "Now, it’s time to go. We have work to do."

Kimberly stood, brushing down the fabric of her dress. "Where are we going?"

"To the temple," Theo said simply. "That’s where your training begins."

*I guess it’s time to start doing my best, to become that all powerful person everyone thinks I am* with a faint smile on her face, Kimberly thought to herself.

As they walked out of the room, Kimberly felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

The thought of finally understanding her powers filled her with hope, but it also scared her. What if she failed?

When they stepped outside, a sleek black vehicle was waiting. Elijah and several of Theo’s men stood by, ready for action.

Theo turned to Elijah, his expression serious.

"I have a feeling we’re being watched. Prying eyes are everywhere," Theo said, his tone grave.

"Kimberly and I will go to the temple alone. You’ll take the convoy and make it look like I’m traveling with you."

Elijah nodded, understanding the weight of the situation. "Understood, Alpha."

"Stay sharp," Theo added. "If anyone tries to stop you, stall them. Do whatever it takes to protect Kimberly’s location."

"Leave it to me," Elijah said confidently.

Kimberly climbed into the back seat of the car, watching as Theo gave Elijah one final nod before getting into the driver’s seat himself.

The engine roared to life, and within moments, they were on the road.

Kimberly glanced out the window, her mind wandering again.

*If Theo is so cautious, then the danger must be closer than I thought. Who’s watching us? Is it Derrick? Or someone else?*

"I know you want to ask a lot of questions, but I will advise that we keep things simple and focus on your training.

Once you start understanding your powers, everything will become clearer to you Kimberly." With a calm and composed look on his face, alpha Theo said to her.

Kimberly nodded her head, as she let out a simple smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Elijah and the convoy left shortly after.

They traveled through the pack’s territory, taking deliberate routes to make it seem like Alpha Theo was traveling with them.

The plan seemed to be working—until they stopped at a fuel station to refuel.

As Elijah’s men began filling the vehicles, a loud screech of tires caught everyone’s attention. Several black SUVs surrounded them, blocking all exits.

Elijah tensed, his hand instinctively going to the trigger of his gun. His men followed suit, their eyes scanning the vehicles.

The doors of the SUVs opened, and none other than Alpha Derrick stepped out, his towering figure imposing as ever.

Beside him was the Supreme Priest, his white robes stark against the dark backdrop of the vehicles.

Elijah’s heart sank. *This is bad. Very bad.*

"Greetings, Elijah," the Supreme Priest said, his voice calm yet heavy with authority.

Elijah bowed slightly, his mind racing. "Greetings, Supreme Priest."

Derrick wasted no time, stepping forward with a menacing smirk.

"We’ve been told you’re harboring something—or rather, someone—that doesn’t belong to you."

Elijah’s expression remained neutral, though his heart pounded in his chest. "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

The Supreme Priest stepped closer, his gaze piercing. "Don’t play games, Elijah. Where is Alpha Theo?"

Elijah took a moment to gather his thoughts. *Think, Elijah. One wrong word and everything falls apart.*

"Alpha Theo is at the pack house," he said finally, his voice steady. "He’s there now, handling important matters."

Derrick raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening. "Is that so? Then why do I get the feeling you’re hiding something?"

Elijah stood his ground, forcing himself to meet Derrick’s gaze.

"You’re free to visit the pack house yourself, Alpha Derrick. You’ll see that I’m telling the truth."

The Supreme Priest studied Elijah carefully, his eyes narrowing.

"Good. Then you won’t mind if we pay a visit right now. And I trust you won’t need to warn anyone of our arrival?"

Elijah forced a tight-lipped smile. "Of course not, Supreme Priest."

"Then let’s go," the priest said, motioning to his men.

Elijah turned to his team, signaling them to get back into their vehicles. As he climbed into the driver’s seat, his mind raced.

*This is a disaster. If they realize that alpha Theo isn’t there, we’re all dead.*

Behind him, Derrick climbed into one of the SUVs, his smirk never fading. The convoy moved out, heading toward the pack house, with tension thick in the air.

Elijah tried calling alpha Theo, but his line was not reachable and this caused more frustration to Elijah and his plans.

Elijah gripping the steering wheel tightly, his heart pounding as he led the enemies closer to the truth—or further from it.

The suspense was unbearable, and the stakes had never been higher...
