Reclaimed By The Alpha King
Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Chapter 195

Kimberly stormed into the living room, her heart still racing from the eerie voice she had heard in her chamber.

But the moment she stepped in, her eyes widened in surprise, as Elena was already there, standing stiffly with a worried expression.

A maid was also present, moving toward the direction of Alpha Theo’s chamber.

"Oh, you’re here, ma’am," the maid bowed her head gently and said, pausing when she saw Kimberly enter.

Kimberly acknowledged her with a slight nod before turning to Elena.

They both exchanged a very warm embrace and pleasantries, before Kimberly said...

"You look worried. Is everything alright?"

Elena sighed, crossing her arms. "That’s an understatement."

Before she could say more, Alpha Theo entered the room.

His gaze swept across both women before he moved closer, his expression unreadable.

"Let’s hear it then," Theo said, his deep voice cutting through the tense atmosphere.

Elena exhaled sharply. "As much as I dislike Mona, I can’t stand the thought of the alpha’s seat being taken away from my family because of her stupidity."

Kimberly and Theo exchanged glances before Theo leaned against the armrest of a chair. His lips curled into a faint smirk.

"Do you really believe Mona is stupid?" Kimberly asked, as she looked into Elena’s eyes.

Elena only nodded her head in confusion, as it was obviously seen that she was very worried.

"Hmm... Is that truly your concern, or is there something else?" Theo asked, his eyes sharp with calculation.

Elena hesitated, thrown off by his question. "What do you mean?"

Kimberly tilted her head. "Do you know something that we don’t, Theo?"

Theo chuckled softly. "Lucian is a force that won’t back down now. But tell me, why do you think Mona will lose to him?"

Elena frowned. "Because she’s reckless. I know she isn’t stupid, but she doesn’t always think before acting.

And I tried to advise her earlier this morning... I told her to come to both of you for help." She shook her head. "But she refused."

Theo leaned forward slightly. "One thing is certain... No one can claim Derrick’s seat unless he allows it.

If there was a real threat to his power, Derrick would be here by now."

Kimberly nodded in agreement. "Elena, you don’t need to worry too much. I highly doubt anything will happen to that position."

Elena studied them both, suspicion creeping into her features. "Then why aren’t you stopping Lucian? Why are you helping him?"

"We can’t stop him, yes I am the moon goddess and Theo is the alpha king, but we can’t stop him from claiming what he feels he deserves to claim.

Most importantly, he has all necessary documents to backup his claims, so we can’t stop him." Kimberly explained gently.

Theo smiled, the kind of smile that held secrets. "Because I also need Lucian to apply pressure, not just on Mona, but on Derrick as well."

Elena’s eyebrows shot up. "Derrick? Why would you want to put pressure on him?"

Theo’s voice remained calm, but there was a sharp edge beneath it. "Because I’m the Alpha King.

The stronger the alphas under me, the stronger our existence as a whole.

I don’t like Derrick personally, but his power is undeniable. He’s a piece I need in this game."

"A time might come, that our existence would be threatened and we need every powerful alphas to be around." Theo further explained.

Elena was quiet for a moment, absorbing his words. Finally, she spoke. "So, this is all a game to you?"

Theo shrugged. "Everything is a game, Elena. You just have to know how to play it."

Kimberly chuckled lightly, placing a reassuring hand on Elena’s shoulder. "Relax. Everything will fall into place."

Theo straightened up and stretched. "On that note, I’ll take my leave." Without another word, he walked out, leaving Elena and Kimberly alone.

Elena shook her head. "You two always know more than you let on."

Kimberly smirked. "That’s why we’re still standing."

As they continued talking, Mohandria, Kaitlyn, and Lisa joined them.

For the first time in a while, the atmosphere lightened as the women fell into an easy conversation, laughing and catching up.

But elsewhere, darkness was stirring.

★★★

Derrick sat in his luxurious hotel room, legs stretched out, fingers drumming against the armrest of his chair.

He had been watching the city below, lost in thought, until his phone vibrated.

He grabbed it and glanced at the message.

The moment his eyes scanned the text, his expression shifted. The once relaxed posture disappeared. His jaw clenched.

*So, Lucian is back... and he’s claiming my seat?* Derrick thought to himself, with a angry look on his face.

A slow, dangerous smirk crept onto his face.

"Well, well... This is getting interesting." He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

"Let’s see how long they can hold their breath underwater." With his voice barely above a whisper, Derrick said.

Without hesitation, he picked up his phone again and dialed a number.

It rang only once before the call connected.

"Murillo."

A deep chuckle came from the other end. "Derrick, I was beginning to think you had turned soft."

Derrick ignored the jab. "I need a parcel of tears delivered tonight." His voice was cold. Emotionless.

There was a pause, then Murillo’s tone shifted, intrigued. "I thought you wanted to lay low for a while. Wait before biting anyone."

Derrick’s grip on the phone tightened. "I’ve waited long enough.

It’s time to remind everyone who I am." His voice dropped lower, filled with fury. "The ruthless Derrick."

Another chuckle from Murillo. "Very well. Just send me the location."

Derrick ended the call without another word.

He tossed the phone onto the bed and stood up, moving toward the large mirror on the opposite wall.

His reflection stared back at him, calm, composed, but his eyes burned with something deadly.

He ran a hand down his jaw, then smirked.

"I will be back... and this time" He leaned closer, his voice a whisper of menace.

"Heads will roll."
