Chapter 169: Chapter 169

The next day, Katherina was in her chamber, preparing for incantations and conjuring.

The dimly lit room pulsed with an eerie energy, thick with an unnatural chill.

Her fingers traced intricate symbols over a worn-out ancient book, her lips moving silently as she rehearsed the incantations in her mind.

The silence was interrupted when one of her guards walked in, his steps hesitant.

"Mistress, you have visitors," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Without looking back, Katherina’s voice sliced through the air, cold as ice. "Let them in."

The guard bowed slightly before retreating, and within moments, Alpha Derrick and Mona stepped cautiously into the chamber.

The moment they crossed the threshold, a heavy, oppressive darkness settled around them.

The air itself seemed to hum with power, making Derrick’s skin prickle with unease.

Mona, however, wasted no time. She dropped to her knees in deep reverence, nudging Derrick subtly with her elbow.

He hesitated for a fraction of a second, his pride flaring, but the weight of the moment forced him to comply.

He bent his knee beside her, bowing his head slightly.

Only then did Katherina turn toward them, her sharp eyes locking onto Derrick.

A slow, knowing smile curled on her lips, her gaze piercing into him as if reading every thought in his mind.


"You wish to be Alpha King," she said, her voice silky but laced with an undercurrent of warning. "Yet, you resist my chosen. Why is that?"

Her question sent a cold shiver down Derrick’s spine. He swallowed hard, trying to mask his unease.
