Chapter 168: Chapter 168

Derrick and Mona made their way into the room, as they engaged in a conversation.

"Mona, what’s the way that you were talking about?" Derrick asked with curiosity laced in his voice, his arms crossed tightly against his chest.

His impatience was clear, his fingers tapping against his biceps as he awaited her answer.

Mona let out a smile, but her expression quickly turned serious.

"Derrick, I know a sorceress, and she is so powerful that she can help us make everything go our way," she said, her voice low and confident.

Derrick’s brows furrowed as he stared at Mona. He could tell she had been keeping this information from him.

"A sorceress? How did you get to know her? And who is she?" Derrick questioned, suspicion evident in his tone.

He didn’t like surprises, and this felt like a big one.

"Relax, Derrick. You know how much I love you and that I will do anything to protect your authority among all the packs.

I had to start looking for help long before now and that was when I heard about the whole Kimberly stuff...

So that if a day like this ever came, I would be prepared." Mona’s tone was soft yet firm, her eyes locked onto Derrick’s as if daring him to doubt her.

Derrick stood still for a while, processing her words. He wasn’t one to trust easily, but Mona had always been by his side, always planning, always scheming.

"Hmm... Okay, let me hear your plan." His voice was quieter this time, but the sharp edge remained.

Mona nodded, pleased with his willingness to listen.

"Good. We will have to go to her place and explain everything to her. She will give us a solution, Derrick.

She’s not just any sorceress, she’s Katherina, and she has power beyond what you can imagine." Mona’s voice dropped lower as if speaking her name alone could summon her.

Derrick narrowed his eyes. "Katherina and who’s she? And you trust her?" His tone was skeptical, but Mona was unfazed.

"I trust what she can do, Derrick. That’s all that matters right now," Mona replied, her voice unwavering.

"With her help, everything will fall into place."

*I can’t let Derrick know that Katherina knows everything already and that Kimberly has to die...

I need to keep all my plans intact.* Mona thought, keeping her expression calm and unreadable.

If Derrick ever found out her true intentions, things could turn against her.

Derrick exhaled sharply, rubbing his jaw. He hated feeling like he was being pushed into a decision, but if Mona was right, this could be his chance to end everything standing in his way.

"Okay, I’ll go with you. Since you trust her... when do we leave?" he finally asked.

Mona’s lips curled into a small smile. "We can’t go today anymore. Let’s get there as early as possible tomorrow morning."

Derrick clenched his fists. The thought of waiting irritated him, but he knew rushing wouldn’t help.

*I need Mona now more than ever... Let’s see what she’s got up her sleeve. I will make Kimberly and Theo pay for their stupidity.*

Mona reached out, placing her hands on Derrick’s shoulders. "Don’t worry, we will rule over them, and I will definitely be the one by your side, Derrick."

Derrick smirked slightly, the tension in his muscles easing just a little. He nodded in agreement. "Good. Let’s make sure this works."

Meanwhile, at the other end of the pack house, Elena sat alone in her chamber, her body tense, her hands gripping the edge of her seat. Her mind raced with everything she had seen and heard.

*What exactly could they be up to? Mona is surely planning something big, and I can’t get my hands on it.* Elena thought, frustration bubbling inside her.

Every instinct screamed at her that something was coming, something dark and dangerous.

She took a deep breath and reached for her phone.

"I need to talk to Theo and Kimberly," she muttered to herself.

Before dialing, she glanced around, making sure no one was near. If she was caught, it could cost her everything.

The moment the call connected, Theo’s voice came through, sharp and alert. "Elena, hope all is well?"

"I don’t think so... Mona is planning something very big and dangerous with Derrick. You and Kimberly should be very careful." Elena’s voice was urgent, her hands slightly trembling as she spoke.

Theo’s brows furrowed as he listened. "Okay, Elena, just relax. I will handle everything from my own part here...

But do you have an idea of the plans they have?" His voice was calm, but beneath it was a storm brewing.

"No, it seems Mona doesn’t trust me at all, and I also sense Derrick’s slight lack of trust for me now... So I was unable to get anything, but I am very sure they are up to something.

Something big, Theo." Elena explained, frustration laced in her tone.

Theo exhaled slowly. He knew this was coming. "Okay, don’t worry... We will figure out what to do next. Just stay low and keep your ears open."

"I will. Just promise me you and Kimberly will be careful," Elena said softly before the call ended.

Kimberly, who had been watching Theo closely, tilted her head. "What’s happening?" she asked, concern flickering in her eyes.

Theo turned to her, his expression unreadable.

"Elena just called me to inform us that Derrick and Mona are planning something big against us... We have to be careful."

Kimberly’s eyes darkened, her fingers curling into fists.

"I have always expected them to make a move... Their only problem is that they underestimate what we can also do to them."

Theo smirked at her words, a glint of admiration in his gaze.

"Let them get dirty, and we will be ready for them." His voice was calm, but beneath it was a deadly promise.

The night air outside was still, yet the storm of war was brewing, and none of them would escape its wrath...
