Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 178

The next morning, Kimberly had already set Theo free with her unimaginable powers.

Theo stood tall beside Kimberly, his stance firm, his gaze sharp as he observed Steve, who was being escorted into the room by Dr. Ashley his friend.

Steve’s hands were bound behind him, but his face was set in defiance, his eyes scanning the room as though he still had some control over the situation.

Kimberly took a step forward, her piercing eyes locking onto his, demanding truth.

"You have been acting like you have the power to call the shots here. Now, let me give you one last chance...

Who sent you, and why did you go after Theo?" Kimberly’s voice was calm, yet it carried a terrifying intensity, making the air around them feel heavy.

Steve, however, let out a low chuckle, shaking his head.

"You think showing up with some petty powers will make me talk to you?

Why don’t you make me talk with your powers or, better still, kill me?" His voice dripped with arrogance, but deep inside, he was calculating.

He had seen what Kimberly was capable of, and that alone sent an uneasy feeling crawling up his spine. Still, he refused to show weakness.

Kimberly exhaled slowly, her gaze never leaving his.

"Yes, I have the power to even read your mind... But I want to give you the benefit of the doubt to redeem yourself." She paused for a second before continuing. "Katherina sent you."

Steve’s composure cracked, his breath hitching slightly.

His eyes widened just enough for Kimberly to notice, though he quickly masked his reaction.

His mind was racing. *How does she know?* He swallowed hard, trying to maintain his indifferent facade.

Theo, who had remained silent, suddenly moved. His steps were deliberate, his presence towering as he stopped right in front of Steve.

Crouching slightly to meet Steve’s gaze, he spoke, his voice low and controlled.

"You said something about my blood being special... What do you mean by that?" His question carried weight, his icy stare boring into Steve.

Steve smirked, though there was no amusement in his expression.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. You can find out yourself." His voice held defiance, but there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

*I can’t let them think I’m weak... I need to stay strong.

They don’t seem like the kind to kill me outright. I still have a chance.* Steve thought to himself, trying to keep his mind from spiraling.

Kimberly tilted her head slightly, unimpressed by his resistance.

"Then you leave me no option but to do the unthinkable to get you to talk." Her voice was steady, but there was a cold finality in her tone that sent a shiver through the room.

Ashley, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped forward, her voice filled with urgency.

"Please, help him... He’s very sick." She pleaded, her eyes filled with desperation.
