Chapter 161: Chapter 161

Kimberly sat on the floor of her room, her back pressed against the bed as she stared at the phone in her hands.

Her breathing was still unsteady. Her body still tingled from whatever she had just done.

*What is happening to me?*

She could still feel the aftershock of power surging through her veins.

It was like something ancient had awakened inside her, something she didn’t understand but couldn’t ignore.

She closed her eyes, trying to make sense of it all.

The language she had spoken—it was not hers. She had never learned it, never even heard it before.

And yet, the words had flowed effortlessly from her lips, carrying power that had somehow reached across the distance and brought Theo back.

Her chest tightened.

*This is bigger than I thought and who exactly am I?.* Kimberly thought.

She had told Theo to act normal, to pretend, but how long could they keep up the act?

Whoever had done this to him, whoever had tried to keep him unconscious would find out eventually.

And when they did, there would be consequences.

A sudden knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts.

Kimberly’s eyes shot open.

"Come in," she said, pushing herself up.

The door swung open, and Zack stepped in, his usual calm expression still intact.

"Good evening, Kimberly," he greeted. "The elders wish to see you."

Kimberly swallowed, her mind still clouded with questions.

"Right now?"

"Yes."

She took a deep breath and stood up. It was time to get answers.

★★Inside the Temple’s Inner Chamber★★

The room was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of burning incense.

Three elders sat before Kimberly, their faces aged but sharp.

She could feel their eyes studying her, as if they already knew what she had done.

"Sit, child," one of them said, his voice deep and firm.

Kimberly obeyed, lowering herself onto the mat in front of them.

There was a long silence.

Then, the eldest of them spoke.

"You have started to awaken, haven’t you?"

Kimberly’s lips parted slightly.

She didn’t know how to respond.

"I—" She hesitated. "I don’t understand what’s happening to me."

"You used the ancient tongue," another elder said.

Her breath caught in her throat.

"You mean... the language I spoke on the phone?"

The elder nodded. "It is the language of the first wolves, the original ones who walked this earth before time was counted."

Kimberly’s hands clenched into fists.

"But how? I’ve never heard it before."

The elders exchanged glances before one of them leaned forward.

"Because it is within your blood."

Kimberly froze.

"What?"

"You are not just any werewolf, Kimberly," the elder continued.

"You are of the Ancient Line, the direct descendant of those who once ruled over both wolves and magic."

Her heart pounded.

"That’s not possible," she whispered.

The elder shook his head. "It is not just possible, child. It is the truth. And that truth is what those who seek to destroy you fear the most."

Kimberly felt like the air in the room had suddenly thickened.

*Ancient Line? Descendant of rulers?*

Everything she thought she knew about herself was shattering.

"Who’s trying to destroy me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

The elders exchanged another look before one of them spoke.

"There are those who fear what you can become. And they are already moving against you."

Kimberly’s hands trembled slightly, but she forced herself to stay calm.

"Who?"

The elder’s eyes darkened. "The one who cast the spell on Theo."

Kimberly’s breath hitched.

"You know about that?"

The elder nodded. "We felt it the moment the bond between you and him was restored.

Whoever did this tried to keep him out of the way for a reason. And now that he is awake, they will know."

A cold chill ran down Kimberly’s spine.

*That means whoever did this... already knows I broke the spell.*

A sudden realization hit her.

*Theo isn’t safe.*

She needed to get back to him... Now.

★★Meanwhile, in Katherina’s Chamber ★★

Katherina’s fingers curled around the edges of her table as she glared at the candle before her.

The flame flickered mockingly, a clear sign that Theo was awake.

Her jaw clenched.

"This shouldn’t be possible," she muttered under her breath.

She had tied the spell with blood magic, had made sure no one could undo it.

And yet, someone had.

A force had broken through her spell, something stronger than anything she had encountered before and this is not what she planned for.

Her eyes narrowed.

"This wasn’t Theo’s doing," she said to herself. "This was someone else."

*Could it be Kimberly, has her powers started coming alive?* Katherina thought to herself.

She took a deep breath, reaching out with her power, trying to sense the energy that had disrupted her spell.

And then, She felt it ... Her eyes widened in shock.

"No..." she whispered.

The energy was familiar.

Ancient. Powerful.

Her hands trembled as realization struck her.

"It’s her," she breathed.

Her fingers tightened into fists.

"Kimberly did this."

A slow, furious smile crept onto her lips.

"So," she muttered, "the girl finally awakens."

She exhaled slowly, her mind racing.

"If she has already unlocked this much power, then I cannot afford to wait."

Her eyes gleamed with dark intent.

"It’s time to move the pieces forward."

She reached for the dagger on her table, pressing the tip against her palm.

A single drop of blood fell onto the wooden surface.

And the flames in the room roared higher.

Alpha Derrick sat in his study, his fingers tapping on the wine glass tip on his hand.

His eyes were fixed on the map before him, but his mind was elsewhere.

*This attack wasn’t random.*

Someone had orchestrated it. Someone wanted to send a message.

And Derrick needed to find out who.

The silence in the room was thick, pressing down on him like an invisible weight.

Then, a knock at the door.

"Come in," he said, not bothering to look up.

The door creaked open, and Alvin stepped in.

"Alpha," Alvin greeted with a slight bow.

Derrick finally lifted his gaze. "Do you have something new for me?"

Alvin hesitated for a second before speaking. "Yes, Alpha. It’s about Theo."

Derrick’s brows furrowed. "What about him?"

Alvin took a deep breath. "He’s awake."

Silence.

Derrick’s fingers stopped tapping.

His eyes darkened. "Say that again."

"Theo is awake," Alvin repeated.

Derrick leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.

*That’s impossibl, if sorcery was truly involved.*

Theo had been unconscious, locked in some mysterious state after the attack.

There had been no signs of recovery. No indication that he would wake anytime soon.

And yet...

"He woke up?" Derrick asked again, needing confirmation.

"Yes, Alpha. Not just that" Alvin hesitated. "The way he woke up... it wasn’t normal."

Derrick’s eyes sharpened. "Explain."

Alvin cleared his throat. "It happened after someone lady called Elijah. She spoke something something strange, like an incantation.

And the next thing we know, Theo was awake."

A long silence filled the room.

Derrick stared at Alvin, his mind working fast.

*Who could it be, could it be Kimberly?*

First, Theo goes unconscious under mysterious circumstances.

Now, someone speaks a few words and suddenly, he wakes up?

This wasn’t coincidence.

"Did anyone hear what she said?" Derrick asked.

Alvin shook his head. "No one understood it. It wasn’t any language we’ve ever heard before."

Derrick exhaled slowly.

*It must be Kimberly... I’m so sure of that.* Derrick thought.

Everything kept leading back to her.

"How did you get all this information?" Derrick questioned.

"We have planted someone among his men, so first hand information reaches us before anyone else." Alvin explained, as he sounded slightly happy.

Derrick nodded his head in satisfaction to Alvin’s move into Theo’s pack with an unreadable expression on his face.

*What the hell are you, Kimberly?*

He pushed back his chair and stood up.

"We need to move fast," he said.

Alvin straightened. "What are your orders, Alpha?"

Derrick walked to the window, staring into the dark night.

"We were attacked. Theo was attacked. That means someone is playing a bigger game."

He turned back to Alvin.

"I want names. I want answers. Someone is pulling the strings, and I need to know who."

Alvin nodded. "Understood, Alpha."

Derrick’s jaw clenched. "Also, keep an eye on Theo."

Alvin hesitated. "Do you think he’s involved?"

Derrick’s lips pressed into a thin line.

"I don’t know," he admitted. "But I don’t trust convenient miracles."

A sudden knock interrupted them.

Another guard entered, his face tense.

"Alpha, urgent news," the guard said.

Derrick’s patience was wearing thin. "What is it?"

★★★

"That girl," Katherina whispered. "She’s waking up, isn’t she?"

A bitter chuckle escaped her lips.

"How amusing."

She turned, walking toward a stone altar at the center of the room.

"This changes things," she mused. "But not for long."

Her hands moved in the air, weaving dark energy into symbols that glowed with a sinister light.

"If Kimberly wants to play," Katherina whispered, "then let’s see how much she can handle."

She let the power surge through her, her eyes burning with fury.

"Let’s see if she’s truly ready for what’s coming."

With a final flick of her wrist, the flames roared higher.

And somewhere, far away Kimberly felt it...
