Reclaimed By The Alpha King

Chapter 147: Chapter 147

Kimberly sat quietly on the bed, staring at the wooden floor as thoughts raced through her mind.

The room inside the temple was dimly lit, but it felt safe—at least for now.

Across from her, Elena leaned against the wall, arms crossed, studying Kimberly’s expression.

A moment of silence passed between them before Kimberly finally spoke.

"Thank goodness," she muttered, exhaling deeply.

"I was so scared that day... When I heard the gunshot, my heart nearly stopped. I thought something bad had happened."

Elena chuckled, shaking her head. "It was just a warning shot, Kimberly. To scare anyone and us," she explained with confidence.

"Trust me, I won’t go down that easily."

Kimberly let out a small laugh, her tension easing slightly. "I should’ve known," she said with a faint smile.

Elena smirked. "Exactly."

A brief silence followed before Elena’s expression turned more serious.

She studied Kimberly for a moment, then asked, "Do you really trust everything about Alpha Theo?"

Kimberly hesitated, staring at the candlelight flickering on the table. Finally, she lifted her gaze and spoke with unwavering certainty.

"I trust him with my life. He’s always willing to risk anything and everything for me. For my safety. I trust him."

Elena nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer. "Good," she said.

"Because there’s something you need to know. And this is why you must learn your powers quickly—so you can help him."

Kimberly leaned forward slightly, her curiosity piqued. "What is it?"

Elena took a deep breath. "There has been a declaration among the alphas.

A new law. It states that whoever has the Moon Goddess as an ally—or as a wife—will be crowned the Alpha King."

Kimberly’s eyes widened, shock washing over her. "What?"

Elena nodded. "That’s right."

Kimberly felt her heart race.

"The Alpha King’s crown hasn’t been given to anyone in over two hundred years," she said, her voice filled with confusion and concern.

"Why now? Why am I being dragged into this?"

Elena’s gaze softened. "Because, Kimberly... You are the Moon Goddess. The first one we’ve seen in more than two centuries."

Kimberly’s breath caught in her throat. She had suspected she was different, but hearing Elena say it so plainly made it real.

"You are special," Elena continued.

"And that’s why everything is happening. Why people want you. Why Derrick is after you. Why Theo is fighting for you. This is bigger than you think."

Reality sank in, heavy and undeniable. Kimberly’s hands clenched into fists. The attacks, the fear, the constant struggle—it all made sense now.

"But if that’s the case," she asked slowly, "why are you helping Theo and not Alpha Derrick? He’s your brother, ma’am Elena."

Elena’s face darkened slightly. She let out a long sigh and stepped closer to Kimberly, her eyes intense.

"Yes," she admitted. "Derrick is my brother. And in another life, maybe I would have supported him."

Kimberly frowned. "Then why don’t you?"

Elena looked away for a moment before turning back with a firm expression. "Because Derrick is not fit to be Alpha King."

Kimberly’s frown deepened. "But he’s powerful. His pack is one of the strongest. Why can’t he be king?"

Elena’s lips pressed into a thin line. "Power alone doesn’t make a good king, Kimberly," she said.

"An Alpha King must be compassionate, understanding, and willing to unite and serve his people. Derrick has none of those qualities."

Kimberly bit her lip, processing her words.

"Derrick doesn’t want to lead," Elena continued. "He wants to rule and control.

He doesn’t want allies—he wants subjects. And that will lead to nothing but anarchy and chaos."

Kimberly swallowed hard, her thoughts spinning.

"That’s why I’m helping Theo," Elena finished. "Because he’s different."

Kimberly’s mind reeled. She had always sensed there was more to Theo than met the eye. He was strong, but kind. Fierce, yet fair.

She looked up at Elena. "And you trust Theo to be the one to become Alpha King?"

Elena nodded. "Yes. And more importantly—you trust him. And if you do, then I trust your judgment, Kimberly."

Kimberly felt a surge of determination rise in her chest.

"Let’s help Theo win," Elena said, her voice filled with resolve. "Let’s make sure he is the one who becomes Alpha King."

Kimberly exhaled sharply, then nodded firmly. "Yes," she said. "We will."

A new fire burned inside her.

*I will do everything I can to learn my powers. I will not be weak. I will help Theo. He must become Alpha King.*

The weight of her destiny settled on her shoulders, but this time, she did not shrink from it.

A few moments later, Elena stood up, ready to leave.

Kimberly blinked. "You’re going?"

Elena nodded. "I have to."

Kimberly frowned. "I thought you’d spend the night here with me." There was a trace of disappointment in her voice.

Elena smiled softly but shook her head. "We can’t risk anything, Kimberly," she said gently.

"If I stay, it might draw attention. Derrick, his men, or even other alphas could start asking questions. I can’t be the reason they find you."

Kimberly sighed. She knew Elena was right, but it still felt lonely.

Elena reached for the door. As she was about to step out, Kimberly spoke again.

"Please... take care of my friends," she said, her voice quiet but firm.

Elena turned slightly, her eyes filled with reassurance. "They will be alright, Kimberly. I promise."

With those final words, she disappeared into the shadows.

Kimberly sat in silence, staring at the door.

For the first time, she truly understood the scale of the battle ahead.

She was no longer just a girl caught in the middle of a war.

She was the Moon Goddess.

And she had a role to play.

As the weight of her responsibility settled deep within her soul, she clenched her fists.

*I will not fail and with Theo by my side, I will bring the unity the whole packs deserves.*

The night air outside was silent, but inside Kimberly’s heart, a storm was brewing...
