Reclaimed By The Alpha King
Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 188

Immediately there was that heavy gust of wind, chaos erupted everywhere.

The ground trembled, and an eerie darkness spread through the hall.

Gasps and panicked whispers filled the air as a sinister presence settled upon them.

Theo and Kimberly remained unmoved, their glowing eyes fixated on the swirling storm before them.

The shadows twisted, forming the figures of Katherina and the old witches from the past, their eyes burning with malice, rage and undeniable drag magic.

Their laughter echoed, sending chills through everyone present.

"Did you think it would be this easy?" Katherina’s voice slithered through the air like a venomous snake.

"Did you truly believe you have won?"

Katherina and the old witches joined their hands together and they started saying some incantations.

Strange and ancient language started coming out of their mouths, only Kimberly and Theo could understand what they were saying.

Suddenly, another strange dust started to emanate from the ground and it was obvious that Katherina and those old witches from the past were summoning some forces.

Kimberly and Theo still held their hands, as they both felt a very powerful surge of power and energy erupting through them to resist whatever Katherina was doing against them.

It became more shocking when Katherina and those old witches noticed that their powers were not going to overcome Theo and Kimberly and with disdain and anger evident in their eyes.

One of the old witches hissed and said, "this is totally impossible... No one could resist us." With shock on her face, she uttered angrily.

Kimberly clenched her fists, while stepping forward with unwavering determination and a victorious aura.

"You failed. Whatever power you hoped to wield against us, it was not enough. Leave now before you embarrass yourselves further."

Katherina’s lips curled into a sneer. "Foolish girl. This is merely a warning. We will be back... Prepare for your doom!"

A blinding gust of wind surged through the room once more, and in an instant, Katherina and the witches vanished into the shadows.

But as the wind died down, a horrifying realization struck everyone. Alpha Derrick and Mona were gone.

"They took them," Theo muttered darkly. His sharp gaze swept through the room, his jaw tightening with frustration. "Cowards."

The supreme chief priest, regaining his composure, stepped forward.

"This battle is far from over, but tonight, we acknowledge a victory. We shall not let fear rule us."

He raised his hands high and declared, "In three days, the coronation of Alpha Theo as the Alpha King and Kimberly as the Moon Goddess reborn shall take place! History has been made in our lifetime!"

A roar of approval erupted through the hall.

Warriors of different packs pounded their chests, elders nodded in solemn agreement, and the remaining alphas bowed in respect.

Relief settled into Kimberly and Theo’s expressions, though they both knew, this was only the beginning.

Meanwhile, in the dark corners of Katherina’s chamber, an entirely different celebration took place.

Candles flickered, casting eerie shadows on the stone walls.

Around a grand, ancient table sat Katherina, the old witches, Alpha Derrick, and Mona. The air was thick with the scent of burning herbs and dark magic.

Katherina leaned back in her seat, studying Derrick with an amused smirk. "So, tell me, Alpha Derrick, how does it feel to have lost everything?"

Derrick’s eyes flared with rage. "Shut your mouth!" he snapped in rage, as he had lost control.

"Caution alpha Derrick, before I make you pay for your words." Katherina warned, as the rage in her eyes burned with fire.

Alpha Derrick quickly bowed his head in apology, as realization hit him on what Katherina could do to him.

"I don’t care about the Alpha King throne anymore. I just want both of them, Kimberly and Theo out of my way. Forever."

Mona chuckled beside him, crossing her arms. "You’re acting like a man who still has something to lose."

Derrick shot her a glare, but Katherina’s voice interrupted the tension. "And what, pray tell, are you willing to sacrifice to ensure their destruction?"

Derrick’s jaw tightened. "Whatever it takes."

Katherina’s smirk widened as she leaned in closer.

"Very well then. Here is my demand. You must go into exile from your pack and relinquish your position as Alpha for three years.

Mona shall rule in your absence. When you return, you will be more powerful than you could ever imagine.

By then, Theo and Kimberly will be nothing but a memory."

Silence followed her words. Derrick’s fists clenched as he processed what she had said.

Three years? Leaving his pack? Handing over his power to Mona?

Mona, sensing his hesitation, leaned in with a sly smile.

"It’s a fair trade, Derrick. Strength beyond your imagination in return for a temporary retreat and trust me, I am your wife. Unless... you’re afraid."

Derrick slammed his fist onto the table, his teeth grinding in fury. "I am not afraid of anything!"

Katherina folded her arms, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Then do we have a deal?"

Derrick hesitated, his mind spinning. Deep down, he knew Mona was playing a dangerous game.

She had always wanted power. Giving her control of his pack, even for three years, was a risk. And Katherina... she never did anything without an ulterior motive.

*They think they can outmaneuver me,* Derrick thought darkly.

*But I will have it all. When I return, no one, neither Theo nor Kimberly, nor even Mona or Katherina will stand in my way.*

He finally exhaled sharply and gave a stiff nod. "Fine. I agree."

Mona’s eyes gleamed with triumph, but Derrick wasn’t fooled. He could almost hear the thoughts racing through her mind.

*Let my reign as the first female to lead the strongest pack begin. Derrick, you are too weak now. It’s time I take over.*

But Mona wasn’t the only one scheming. Katherina’s smirk deepened as she watched them both, her fingers lightly tapping against the armrest of her chair.

*Fools,* she thought, an amused glint in her eye.

*Neither of you realizes that when the dust settles, I will be the one ruling. This war is far from over, and I am just getting started.*

She threw her head back and let out a loud, chilling laugh that echoed through the chamber, sending shivers down Derrick’s spine.

It was a laugh filled with power, deception, and the certainty of impending chaos.
