Chapter 155: Chapter 155

Alpha Derrick sat in his study, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the wooden armrest of his chair.

His mind was a battlefield, replaying every recent move, every alliance he had made with the other alphas, and every failure he had suffered.

Kimberly was still out of his grasp, and Theo had outplayed him yet again.

His pride burned, but more than that—his thirst for power was growing unbearable.

His phone vibrated on the desk, snapping him out of his thoughts. He picked it up and saw Alpha Eduardo’s name flashing on the screen.

"Eduardo," Derrick answered, his voice sharp. "This better be good."

"It is," Eduardo replied, his tone filled with a smug satisfaction. "We’ve found someone. A sorcerer."

Derrick’s fingers tightened around the phone. "A sorcerer?"

"Yes. A real one. Not just some old hag throwing bones and pretending to read the future.

This one can track people. He can find Kimberly."

Derrick leaned forward, interest sparking in his eyes. "And you’re sure of this?"

"He has worked for me before," Eduardo said.

"I had him find someone who betrayed my pack. He led me right to them.

I had the pleasure of watching them beg for mercy before I ripped them apart." Eduardo chuckled darkly.

Derrick remained silent, his mind turning over the possibility. Magic was a dangerous tool, unpredictable, and often with consequences.

The thought of relying on a sorcerer made his skin crawl. But he was running out of options.

*Theo was always one step ahead, and if Kimberly truly was the Moon Goddess, i need to find her first*

"Where is this sorcerer?" Derrick asked after a moment of silence.

"In the abandoned village near the Darkwood border," Eduardo replied. "You know the place.

The one the witches used before they were wiped out."

Derrick exhaled slowly. That place had always given him an uneasy feeling.

The ruins of an old coven, haunted by the remnants of forbidden magic.

"I don’t like dealing with witches," Derrick muttered.

"He’s not a witch. He’s something else. Something worse."

Derrick’s grip on the phone tightened. He hated the idea of owing someone like that a favor. But his desperation overpowered his caution.

"Fine," he said at last. "Set up the meeting. I’ll be there before sunrise."

"Good choice," Eduardo said. "I’ll be there too."

Derrick ended the call, his jaw clenched.

*This has to work. I will not let Theo win.*

Just as he was about to pour himself another drink, the door to his study burst open.

One of his men, Jonas, rushed in, breathing heavily.

"Alpha!" Jonas said urgently.

Derrick shot him a deadly glare. "What is it?"

"There’s an attack in the pack!" Jonas blurted out. "Several of our warriors have been injured, and we don’t know who’s responsible."

Derrick shot to his feet, his whiskey glass shattering on the floor.

"Where?" he demanded.

"Near the western border, close to the training grounds," Jonas answered.

Derrick didn’t waste another second. He stormed out of the study, his heart pounding with rage.

*Who would dare attack my pack?*

By the time Derrick arrived at the scene, chaos had already unfolded.

His warriors were on high alert, some nursing wounds, while others stood in defensive formations.

The air smelled of blood and something else, something foreign.

"Report!" Derrick barked as he reached the head of his guards, Gavin.

Gavin’s face was set in a grim expression. "Alpha... we were ambushed."

"By who?"

Gavin hesitated before answering. "We don’t know."

Derrick’s eyes narrowed. "What the hell do you mean, you don’t know?"

Gavin clenched his jaw. "They weren’t wolves, Alpha. They weren’t human either."

Derrick felt something cold slide down his spine. "Explain."

"We never saw their faces," Gavin said. "They moved too fast. Too unnatural. Like shadows."

Derrick turned to the wounded warriors, his eyes scanning them.

Some had deep claw marks, others had burns that looked like they were caused by something unnatural.

"Did they say anything?" Derrick asked.

Gavin nodded. "Only one thing before they vanished."

Derrick’s patience was wearing thin. "What did they say?"

Gavin took a deep breath and repeated the words exactly as he had heard them.

"The Moon’s Chosen will not be touched. But the one who seeks her... will burn."

Derrick’s whole body went rigid.

Kimberly.

Whoever these attackers were, they knew about her. And they were warning him.

*Like hell I’m going to back down.* Derrick thought angrily.

A growl rumbled in Derrick’s chest as his rage boiled over.

"Double the patrols. I want every warrior armed and ready for another attack," Derrick ordered.

"Yes, Alpha!" Gavin responded.

Derrick turned on his heel, his fists clenched.

*First, I find Kimberly. Then, I destroy whoever is trying to keep me from her.*

As he stormed back toward the pack house, his phone buzzed again. This time, it was a text from an unknown number.

"Your fate is already sealed, Alpha Derrick. Turn back while you still can." Derrick read the message under his breath.

Derrick stared at the message, his heart pounding.

Then, he did the only thing he knew how to do.

He laughed mischievously.

A dark, menacing laugh.

Because he wasn’t the kind of man to turn back.

He was the kind of man who burned everything in his way.

★★★

Kimberly sat on the edge of the bed, her body still trembling from the overwhelming vision she had just experienced.

The room was filled with an eerie silence, except for the heavy breathing of those around her.

Alpha Theo stood frozen, his sharp gaze locked onto her glowing blue eyes.

The guards remained tense, their hands hovering near their weapons, unsure of what they had just witnessed.

Elijah, standing near the door, was the first to break the silence. "Kimberly..." he called, his voice cautious yet filled with concern.

Kimberly slowly turned her head toward him, her eyes still glowing faintly before the light gradually faded away.

She blinked, her breathing uneven. "They are coming," she whispered again, as if trying to make sense of her own words.

Theo finally took a step forward, his voice firm yet gentle. "Who is coming, Kimberly?"

She swallowed hard, her throat dry. "I don’t know... but they are powerful. And they want me."

The weight of her words settled heavily in the room. Theo exchanged a quick glance with Elijah before turning back to her. "Tell us everything," he urged.

Kimberly took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "I saw shadows... powerful beings.

They weren’t human, not entirely. And there was a woman... she was laughing. She said the time has come."

Elijah’s brows furrowed. "A woman? Did you see her face?"

Kimberly shook her head. "No, but... she felt familiar, like I should know who she is. And then I saw darkness spreading... it was swallowing everything in its path."

The room remained silent for a moment before a voice came from the doorway.

"The vision she speaks of is no ordinary dream."

Everyone turned to see the old chief priest, a frail yet wise-looking man, stepping inside the room with a solemn expression.

His white robe swayed slightly as he walked toward Kimberly.

Kimberly looked up at him, her eyes pleading. "What does it mean?"

The old chief priest sighed, taking a seat beside her. "It means danger is closer than we thought. And it means you must leave, child."

Kimberly’s heart skipped a beat. "Leave?"

Theo took a sharp breath. "Chief, what do you mean?"

The old man met Theo’s gaze, his eyes filled with wisdom and worry. "She is not safe here. Not anymore.

The forces seeking her will not stop until they have her. The only way to protect her is to send her far away, beyond their reach."

Kimberly’s hands clenched the sheets beneath her. "But I don’t want to run."

The chief priest gave her a knowing look. "It is not running, child. It is preparation. You are not ready to face what is coming.

You must learn to control your power, understand your gift. If you stay, they will find you before you have the chance."

Theo exhaled, pacing the room. "Where should she go?"

The old man turned his gaze back to Kimberly. "Somewhere far. A place where she can train in secrecy. Abroad, where they cannot track her easily."

Kimberly looked at Theo, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "And what about you? What about everyone here?"

Theo clenched his jaw. "We’ll handle things here. Your safety is the priority."

Elijah stepped forward. "We need to act fast. If they are coming, we don’t have much time."

Kimberly bit her lip. "And what if they find me there?"

The old chief priest gave a small, reassuring smile. "They won’t. Not if we do this right."

Theo finally stopped pacing. "Alright. We leave tonight."

Kimberly’s eyes widened. "Tonight?"

"There’s no time to waste," Elijah said firmly.

Theo turned to Elijah. "Start making arrangements. Get the best security we have.

We need an undisclosed location, no one must know where she’s going."

Elijah nodded, immediately pulling out his phone to make the calls.

Kimberly looked down at her hands, her mind spinning.

*Am I really just going to leave everything behind? Just like that?*

As if reading her thoughts, the old priest placed a gentle hand on hers. "This is not goodbye, child. This is the beginning of your true path."

Kimberly nodded slowly, though the weight of it all made her chest feel tight.

★★A Few Hours Later★★

Theo stood outside the pack house, watching as Elijah finalized the travel arrangements.

Everything was set. A private jet, an untraceable location, and only a handful of people who knew about the plan.

Kimberly stood nearby, dressed in a simple hoodie and jeans, her hair tucked under a cap to avoid drawing attention.

She looked up at Theo. "Are you sure about this?"

Theo placed a firm hand on her shoulder. "It’s the only way."

She nodded, though uncertainty was still clear in her eyes.

Just then, a loud explosion sounded from the far side of the pack house.

Everyone turned, their instincts immediately on high alert.

One of Theo’s men ran up, breathless. "Alpha! There’s been an attack! Unknown forces are at the southern border!"

Theo’s blood ran cold. "Damn it... they’re already here."

Elijah cursed under his breath. "We need to move her now!"

Kimberly’s heart pounded. *They came faster than we thought...*

Theo turned to her. "Go! Get to the car! Elijah will take you to the airport."

Kimberly hesitated. "But—"

"GO!" Theo commanded.

Before she could protest further, Elijah grabbed her hand, pulling her toward the waiting vehicle.

As they sped off, Kimberly turned her head, watching as Theo ran toward the battle.

Her heart clenched.

And then, as if fate itself was taunting her, she saw something in the distance.

A woman standing at the edge of the battlefield.

Smiling.

Kimberly’s breath hitched.

Even from this far, she could feel the overwhelming power radiating from her.

And in that moment, she knew.

This was the woman from her vision.

Katherina had arrived...
