Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Kimberly felt weightless.

She was floating, yet her feet touched solid ground. A strange glow surrounded her, flickering like flames yet cold as ice.

The world around her was ancient massive stone pillars, covered in glowing symbols, stretched into the endless sky.

The air was thick with whispers, voices speaking in a language she had never heard before, yet somehow...

She understood every word.

"Daughter of the forgotten bloodline, the time has come."

Kimberly turned, searching for the source of the voice.

The shadows shifted, and from them emerged figures draped in long robes, their faces hidden beneath deep hoods.

They stood in a circle, their voices merging into one as they spoke.

"Your path has been set. Your powers awaken. But power without control is destruction."

Kimberly’s breath hitched.

"I... I don’t understand," she whispered, stepping forward. "What am I supposed to do?"

A gust of wind rushed through the space, lifting her hair as the voices grew louder.

"You must see beyond the veil. You must listen, not with your ears, but with your soul."

The ground beneath her cracked, golden light rising from below, wrapping around her body like vines.

Kimberly gasped, clutching her chest as a surge of energy flooded through her veins.

"You are the key. You are the weapon. But a blade unsharpened is a danger to its wielder."

The robed figures raised their hands, and suddenly , a wave of visions crashed into her mind.

She saw herself, standing on a battlefield, surrounded by flames.

She saw Derrick, his face twisted in rage and pain.

She saw Mona, chanting over an ancient altar, her eyes burning with dark power.

She saw Theo, lying still, unmoving.

And then , a new face appeared.

A woman she had never seen before, her eyes glowing silver, watching her from the shadows.

"Find me." The woman’s voice echoed in her head. "Or all will be lost."

Kimberly’s vision blurred, her heart racing.

"Wait! Who are you?!" she screamed.

But the world around her shattered like glass.

★★★

Kimberly’s eyes flew open, her breath ragged, her body drenched in sweat.

She sat up quickly, her heartbeat pounding in her ears.

The room was dark, but she was not alone.

Across from her, seated in a semi-circle, were six elders, their gazes fixed on her.

Zack stood near the door, his face unreadable.

"She has seen," one of the elders spoke, his voice deep and full of knowing.

Kimberly swallowed hard.

"Where... What was that?" she asked, still trying to steady her breathing.

"The first step of your awakening," another elder said, her tone gentle but firm.

"Your visions will guide you. But your powers must be tamed, or they will consume you."

Kimberly ran a shaky hand through her hair.

"I... I saw things. People. A woman I don’t know. And there was a message—’find me or all will be lost.’ What does that mean?"

The elders exchanged glances.

Zack stepped forward.

"You will find out in time," he said. "For now, you must begin your training."

Kimberly hesitated.

Everything was happening too fast.

But deep inside, she felt it a stirring, a hunger for answers.

*I need to understand what’s inside me. If I can’t control this... then I will never be able to protect the people I love.*

She nodded.

"I’m ready."

★★★The First Test★★

They took her to a circular training hall, the air thick with energy.

Kimberly stood in the center, her hands clenched into fists.

"Your powers are awakening," one of the elders spoke. "But can you control them?"

Kimberly took a deep breath, waiting for instruction.

Then, the elder flicked his wrist, and suddenly, the room darkened.

Kimberly’s body stiffened as she felt something move around her.

*Shadows? No... something else.*

She could feel whispers pressing into her mind, words she didn’t recognize but somehow understood.

"Listen," the elder said. "Not with your ears. But with your mind."

Kimberly closed her eyes.

And then—

It happened.

She heard them.

But it wasn’t the elders speaking.

It was their thoughts.

"She is strong... but unstable."

"Will she be ready in time?"

"If she fails, everything will fall apart."

Kimberly’s eyes snapped open, her body trembling.

"I... I can hear you," she whispered.

The elders nodded, their expressions calm.

"Good," one of them said. "But you are not just hearing. You are reading beyond the spoken word.

You are stepping into the unguarded thoughts of others."

Kimberly’s breath hitched.

This was more than just power.

This was invasion.

"What if I don’t want to hear people’s thoughts?" she asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

The elder smiled faintly.

"Then you must learn how to block them out."

Kimberly swallowed.

*What if I can’t?*

Then, before she could process everything a sharp pain sliced through her head.

She clutched her temples, gasping as visions flooded in again.

But this time, It wasn’t a message.

It was a warning.

She saw Mona, standing in a dark chamber, speaking in a voice that was not her own.

She saw Alpha Derrick, his face contorted in fury as he slammed his fists against a wall.

She saw Elijah, standing over Theo’s still body, looking more conflicted than ever.

And then, She saw blood everywhere.

Kimberly stumbled back, her breath shallow.

The elders watched her carefully.

"What did you see?" Zack asked.

Kimberly’s hands trembled.

She looked up, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Something bad is coming."

★★★

Kimberly sat on the edge of her bed, her body aching from the intense training she had just completed.

Sweat still clung to her skin, but her mind was restless.

Something was pulling at her, a feeling deep within her chest—like a whisper in her soul, urging her to act now.

Her eyes darted to the phone beside her. The only number saved.

She didn’t know why, but her hands moved on their own, picking up the device and dialing.

The phone rang once, twice, then a click.

"Kimberly?" Elijah’s voice came through, cautious and surprised.

Kimberly didn’t hesitate.

"Stop lying to me, Elijah," she said, her voice steady but firm.

There was a pause. A long silence.

Then, Elijah sighed. "Kimberly, I—"

"I know Theo is unconscious," she cut in.

"I saw it. I felt it."

Another silence.

Kimberly’s fingers clenched into fists.

"I need you to put the phone beside him," she ordered.

"What? Why—"

"Just do it, Elijah," she pressed, her voice suddenly carrying a weight she didn’t recognize.

Elijah hesitated, but then she heard shuffling.

A moment later, his voice was distant. "The phone is beside him."

Kimberly closed her eyes.

And then, without knowing how or why, she started speaking.

The words that left her lips were not known words or language. They weren’t any language she had ever spoken before.

It was ancient. Powerful. Each syllable hummed with energy.

Her hands trembled as heat coursed through her veins, flowing through the phone, through the air into Theo.

She didn’t understand it. But she couldn’t stop.

She felt it, the connection, the bond between her and Theo, stretching across the distance like a golden thread.

Then, a gasp.

A sharp intake of breath on the other end of the line.

And then, a voice.

"Kimberly..."

Theo’s voice. Weak, but alive.

Elijah’s sharp gasp echoed through the phone. "Alpha?! What the—how is this possible?"

Kimberly’s heart pounded. It had worked.

"Theo, listen to me," she said quickly. "You need to act like nothing happened. No one can know you’re awake yet."

Theo was still breathing heavily, like someone pulled from deep water. "Kimberly... what... happened to me?"

"I don’t know yet," she admitted, her voice softer now. "But this is bigger than us.

Someone is coming after all of us. This is an ancient battle, Theo. And we have to be ready."

She could almost feel him processing her words.

Finally, Theo exhaled. "What do we do?"

"For now, we wait," she said. "We don’t make a move. We don’t let them know that we know something’s wrong."

Elijah spoke up, still in shock. "Kimberly, how did you—?"

"I don’t know," she admitted. "But something inside me is waking up. And I need to finish this training if we want to survive what’s coming."

Theo was silent for a long moment.

Then, he said, "Hurry back."

"I will," she promised.

The call ended.

Kimberly sat there, the phone still clutched in her hand, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

What had she just done?

She had felt the power , felt it rush through her veins like fire.

But... was it truly hers? Or was something else guiding her?

Her fingers curled.

She would find out soon enough.

Meanwhile... Somewhere Else, Katherina sat in the dimly lit chamber, her eyes closed in deep concentration.

The candles before her flickered, each one representing a different key figure in the game she was playing.

One candle, however, was different.

The one representing Alpha Theo.

It had been dark for days, a sign that he was still unconscious.

And then, without warning the flame burst to life.

Katherina’s eyes snapped open.

She stared at the flame, her breathing sharp and shallow.

"No... Impossible."

She reached out a trembling hand, feeling the energy in the air.

It was different. Stronger. Older.

And it had awakened Theo.

Katherina’s jaw clenched, her teeth grinding.

Someone had interfered.

Someone had undone her work.

Her nails dug into her palm as anger surged through her.

Then, a whisper escaped her lips.

"Theo is awake... How come?"

Her eyes burned with fury.

Who had done this?

And more importantly What else were they capable of?...
