Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

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.
