Chapter 182: Chapter 182

The supreme chief priest stepped forward, his gaze unwavering as he looked directly at Kimberly and Theo.

His eyes held authority, his voice stern and unwavering.

"Do you not understand what Steve has done to our kind?

Or do you choose to act ignorant for your personal gains?" His words cut through the room like a sharp blade, igniting loud murmurs among those gathered.

Kimberly and Theo remained silent, their minds working to gauge the atmosphere before responding.

They knew the wrong words could tilt the balance against them.

*This is a delicate situation, we have to approach it with wisdom... We can’t allow our emotions to lead us here* Theo thought to himself.

*I need to step up and put an end to this endless debate, before it turns out into something else.* Kimberly thought.

After a moment, Kimberly stepped forward, her voice calm but firm.

"Steve is a victim of misunderstanding who he was. He was manipulated by forces that seek our destruction.

But now, he sees clearly. He understands, and I believe he will no longer be a threat to anyone."

The supreme chief priest’s expression remained unreadable.

"What he has done cannot be overlooked. How do you intend to repay for the damage he has caused in the past?" His words carried the weight of justice, demanding an answer that satisfied both reason and law.

Before Kimberly could reply, Derrick’s voice cut through the room.

"How do we know he isn’t here to cause more harm? And how come he suddenly belongs to your pack?" His gaze was locked onto Theo, burning with fury.

Theo held Derrick’s stare, unwavering. "Because he is one of us. He is a werewolf, just like you and me.

He was lost, confused, and now he understands his purpose. I will help him grow and overcome what he was forced into."

The whole room was thrown into shock, as they all hear that Steve is also a werewolf and now, alpha Theo will help him.

The supreme chief priest turned to Steve. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Steve hesitated for a brief moment, his mind racing through everything he had done in the past. Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke.

"I lived in denial, afraid of what I was because I believed I was different.

I fought against my kind because I thought I had no place among them. Now I know I was wrong.

I deeply regret my actions, and I swear to dedicate myself to becoming a stronger, better werewolf.

I will stand with those who have shown me a new path. I will prove my loyalty." His voice was steady, but emotion lingered in his words.

Theo gave him a nod of approval.

The supreme chief priest remained impassive. "For now, you do not have the right to choose a pack. You must wait."

Derrick let a smirk stretch across his lips, clearly satisfied with the verdict.

Mona, on the other hand, watched in silence. Deep thoughts ran through her mind.

*This is a strong move by Kimberly and Theo... but let’s hope the test will finally rid us of Kimberly, just as Katherina promised.* Her face remained unreadable, but inside, she anticipated what was to come.

Theo, unwilling to accept the chief priest’s ruling, spoke again. "I request that he remains in my pack."

Before the supreme chief priest could respond, Derrick’s laughter filled the room.

"I’m sorry to disappoint you, Theo, but no alpha has the power to redeem a rogue werewolf."

"That is very true and I believe you also know as much as that alpha Theo... Please do not let your emotions take charge of you." The supreme chief priest said calmly.

Theo clenched his fists, but before he could respond, Kimberly spoke.

"Then I will make him a member of Alpha Theo’s pack." Her voice was filled with determination, her eyes challenging anyone who dared to object.

Derrick leaned back in his seat, chuckling.

"You are not the Moon Goddess reborn yet. Maybe you should focus on passing your test first.

Then we can see what happens next." His words were laced with mockery, meant to provoke her.

Kimberly took a deep breath, keeping her composure. *I will put up with all of this, but once I prove who I am, no one will challenge me.*

"Good," she finally said. "Then let the test begin."

Theo reached for her hand, squeezing it gently.

"No one can deny who you are. We are all here for you, and I believe in you. Go there and prove them wrong."

She gave him a small smile before stepping away.

The supreme chief priest raised his voice so all could hear. "The first test is against the Three-Eyed Beast. Are you ready to face your fate?"

Kimberly’s heart pounded, but she did not let her fear show. "Yes, I am ready."

"Then step forward. The door before you will lead to your challenge. Face it, and let destiny decide your worth."

Kimberly glanced around the room. She caught Derrick and Mona’s eyes, both of them smirking, as if they already knew the outcome.

*Whatever happens in there, I must not fail. I will fight with everything I have.*

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the door.

The large, ancient structure loomed before her, carved with old runes that seemed to glow faintly. With a firm push, she stepped inside.

Darkness swallowed her whole. The door shut behind her, cutting her off from the world outside.

And then, a voice echoed through the void.

It was Katherina.

"Enter into your doom, for the land of the living and the spirits will work against you." Her words sent a chill down Kimberly’s spine.

Kimberly’s hands clenched into fists, her breath steadying. *You won’t break me, Katherina.*

Then a cold mischievous laughter erupted from Katherina "we will see to that." Katherina said loudly.

But as the darkness began to shift around her, forming shapes and shadows, she knew one thing for sure.

This was just the beginning of the real battle and more to come.
