Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 176

Kimberly was in the room, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her mind was spiraling with everything that had been happening.

The three tests to prove that she was the Moon Goddess reborn, the abduction of her friends and Elena, and Alpha Darwin’s instructions to her and Alpha Theo.

The weight of it all pressed down on her, making her feel trapped in an endless cycle of danger and responsibility.

*I have to take things one step at a time. The time for the test is drawing closer day by day, but I need to understand myself more first.* Kimberly thought.

She sat up slowly, running her hands through her hair as she exhaled deeply.

Her eyes darted to the clock on the wall.

"What’s keeping Theo so long? He was supposed to have returned by now." She muttered to herself, grabbing her phone from the nightstand.

She hesitated for a moment before dialing Theo’s number. The call didn’t connect.

She frowned, staring at the screen. Maybe he’s just busy? She tried again, but still, the call didn’t go through.

Just as she was about to try one more time, a sudden chill ran down her spine.

It wasn’t the usual cold that came from the evening air; it was different, unnatural. It felt as if the air around her had thickened, vibrating with an unseen force.

Her breath hitched as she lifted her gaze toward the wall.

Her eyes widened when she saw a strange formation of white flames taking the shape of a tree.

She blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. Before she could react further, a familiar voice echoed through the room.

"Kimberly, don’t rush into saving us... Katherina wants to trap you."

Kimberly gasped, stepping back slightly. Mohandria?! The voice was unmistakable. But how? How was she speaking to her?

"How are you able to reach me?" she whispered, her voice trembling with shock.

"I am using everything within me to speak now... Listen to my warning. Katherina isn’t working alone.

In all you do, seek help. Don’t be reckless." Mohandria’s voice grew faint, the glowing white tree slowly dissolving into nothingness.

Kimberly stood frozen, staring at the wall where the flames had been just moments ago.

Her hands trembled. What is happening? Is Mohandria even alive? And what about the others? Her mind raced with questions, each one filling her with increasing dread.

She gritted her teeth and grabbed her phone again.

"I need to reach Theo. He will have an idea of what to do." She dialed his number once more, praying that he would pick up this time.

The call connected.

Relief flooded her, but only for a second.

"Theo, where are you? I need to speak to you," she said urgently. But instead of Theo’s familiar voice, a different voice responded, cold, emotionless, and chilling to the bone.
