Chapter 90: Chapter 90

Alpha Theo had dressed early, ready to leave his chamber when one of his men hurried toward him.

"How are you doing, boss?" Phillips greeted him with a wide grin.

"I’m fine, Phillips. And you?" Alpha Theo replied, his gaze sharp and questioning.

"I’ve got great news, boss! Kimberly is alive!" Phillips announced excitedly.

Alpha Theo froze, narrowing his eyes. "Are you sure, Phillips? Where did you get this information?"

"Yes, boss! My team and I decided to investigate her supposed death further. We infiltrated the Night Walkers Pack disguised as travelers. That’s when we discovered the truth," Phillips explained confidently.

"Tell me everything you learned," Alpha Theo commanded, his attention fully on Phillips.

Phillips nodded and continued, "Kimberly sacrificed herself to save others from the Silent Beast. Everyone thought she was dead, but her body didn’t decay. Three days later, she woke up alive and well. I even saw her with my own eyes."

Alpha Theo’s face lit up with a smile. "Good work, Phillips. I’m grateful to you and your men."

"Thank you, boss. We had to do it. We couldn’t stand seeing you so troubled," Phillips said humbly.

"Still, it was risky to go to the Night Walkers without my approval," Alpha Theo said sternly.

"We did it for you, Alpha. You’ve treated us like family, and we couldn’t bear to see you suffer." Phillips’ voice was calm but filled with loyalty.

"Thank you again. You and your team may rest now," Alpha Theo dismissed him warmly.

As Phillips left, Alpha Theo muttered to himself, "This changes everything. Kimberly is special, and I need to understand why."

He returned to his living room, lost in thought. "How does someone come back from the dead? There’s more to Kimberly than meets the eye."

A faint smile crossed his face as memories of their first meeting surfaced. He resolved to see her again.

**At the Night Walkers Pack**

In the elders’ chamber, Elena, the physician, and the council were waiting for Alpha Derrick. When he arrived, everyone stood in respect.

"Good morning, everyone. Let’s make this quick; I have a busy day ahead," Alpha Derrick said curtly.

The eldest elder spoke first, "Alpha, we’ve decided to restore things to their original state. We believe it’s time to return to normalcy."

Alpha Derrick nodded. "That’s reasonable. If we’ve resolved all issues, let’s proceed cautiously as we transition back."

"Thank you, Alpha. We’ll implement your instructions," Elena replied with a polite smile.

"There’s nothing more to discuss. You’re dismissed," Alpha Derrick said abruptly and left the room.

As the council dispersed, Elena lingered, puzzled. "Something’s off about Derrick," she thought, her brows furrowing.

Later That Afternoon...

The maids gathered in the open field, buzzing with curiosity. They’d been called out of routine and speculated about the reason.

Elena arrived with the elders and the head maidservant. The group turned toward her expectantly.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Elena began, her voice calm but firm. "I have good news. Starting next week, we’ll resume our regular schedules. Everything will return to normal."

The maids cheered, clapping and laughing in relief.

One of them, Liza, stepped forward. "Thank you, Lady Elena! We’ve been waiting for this news!"

Elena smiled warmly. "You’ve all worked hard. This is well-deserved. Keep up the good work."

As the maids celebrated, Elena and the elders retreated.

After completing their duties for the day, Kimberly and her friends returned to their respective rooms to freshen up.

They had planned to meet in the canteen afterward, excited to continue their earlier conversations about Elena’s good news.

Kimberly entered her room, her expression shifting to one of confusion as she shut the door behind her. The joy she had felt earlier seemed to waver. She sat on the edge of her bed, her thoughts clouded.

"I should feel happy about everything returning to normal," she muttered to herself, her voice low. "But why do I feel like something is still lurking in the shadows? Is the Silent Beast really gone?"

She frowned, her hands gripping the edge of the bed tightly. "I’ve found peace here. I feel safe. But is this peace real, or am I just hiding from the outside world?"

Kimberly sighed and stood up, walking to the bathroom. As she undressed, she caught sight of her reflection in the mirror. Her heart skipped a beat. She spun around, examining her arms.

"Where is it?" she whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief. "The writing... it was there before. I saw it clearly. Am I losing my mind?"

Her voice trembled as she leaned closer to the mirror, inspecting every inch of her skin. The mysterious writing she had discovered days ago had vanished without a trace.

"Was it a dream?" she murmured. "No, it felt too real. But now it’s gone. What does this mean?"

Kimberly shook her head, her anxiety growing. "I can’t tell the others. They’ll think I’m going crazy."

She quickly stepped into the shower, letting the water cascade over her. She hoped it would calm her nerves, but the unease lingered. After finishing, she dried off, dressed, and forced herself to leave the room.

In the canteen, her friends were already gathered, chatting and laughing. They had saved a seat for her.

"Look who decided to grace us with her presence!" Liza teased with a dramatic bow as Kimberly approached.

Kimberly chuckled softly, sliding into her seat. "Don’t start, Liza. I’m here now."

Mohandia grinned. "Kimberly, you’re the reason everything is back to normal. We owe this peace to you."

Kimberly waved her hand dismissively. "Don’t give me all the credit. We all did our part."

"Still, it’s amazing," Mohandia continued. "For the first time, I’ll get to enjoy a run with friends—real friends."

"Real friends?" Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What about the people you ran with before?"

Mohandia sighed, her smile fading slightly. "They weren’t friends, Kaitlyn. They feared me, but they didn’t respect or love me. It’s not the same."

Kaitlyn nodded thoughtfully. "I get it. Fear and respect are two different things. But now, you’ve got us. We’re in this together."

"Exactly," Liza chimed in. "And I can’t wait for the run. It’s going to be so much fun!"

The group laughed and continued chatting, but Kimberly remained unusually quiet. Her friends noticed her silence and exchanged concerned glances.

"Kimberly," Mohandia said gently, "is something bothering you? You can talk to us, you know."

Kimberly hesitated, forcing a smile. "No, no. I’m fine. Just thinking about the run. I’ve never done it before, so I’m curious."

"Don’t worry," Liza said, patting Kimberly’s hand. "You’ll love it. We’ll stick together and make sure it’s a great experience."

Kimberly nodded, though her mind was elsewhere.

As they continued their meal, the head maidservant entered the canteen and made her way directly to their table. She leaned down, whispering urgently into Kimberly’s ear.

"Kimberly, please come with me immediately. There’s an emergency that needs your attention."

Kimberly froze, her friends staring at her and the maidservant in confusion.

"Emergency?" Mohandia frowned. "What’s going on? Kimberly, you’re not leaving without telling us."

Kimberly glanced at her friends, her mind racing. "It’s probably nothing serious," she said, standing. "I’ll explain later. Don’t worry."

But Mohandia wasn’t convinced. "You always say that, and then something big happens. Tell us the truth, Kimberly."

Before Kimberly could respond, the head maidservant intervened...
