Chapter 180: Chapter 180

The night was silent, the air heavy with tension as Alpha Derrick slipped out of his pack house alone, moving like a shadow beneath the moonlit sky.

His heart pounded against his chest, not out of fear but sheer determination.

Whoever had called him earlier had sparked a fire inside him, a fire that demanded answers, demanded power.

He would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

On the other side of the territory, Mona was doing the same thing. She, too, had received a mysterious call.

Unlike Derrick, she masked her emotions well. She had always been a careful planner, calculating her steps like a game of chess.

But tonight, she felt an uneasy excitement coursing through her veins.

When she arrived at the secluded location, a hooded figure stood before her, extending a blindfold toward her.

"Put this on," the figure instructed in a low, emotionless voice.

Mona hesitated. She hated being vulnerable, but curiosity outweighed her caution.

Slowly, she tied the blindfold over her eyes, feeling her senses heighten in the darkness.

A firm hand grasped her arm, guiding her forward. Each step she took echoed eerily, the silence unsettling.

After a few minutes, she was stopped and the blindfold was removed. As her vision adjusted to the dimly lit room, her breath caught in her throat.

Standing before her, just as shocked, was Alpha Derrick.

Their eyes locked, a mixture of disbelief and suspicion flashing between them.

Neither spoke at first, their minds racing with a million unanswered questions.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Derrick finally broke the silence, his tone laced with suspicion.

Mona’s expression hardened. "I could ask you the same thing."

Before either could press further, a deep, husky voice filled the space, seemingly coming from nowhere.

"You both want power, yet neither of you trusts the other. Pathetic losers, I call you both."

Derrick clenched his fists. His patience was already running thin, and whoever was hiding behind the shadows was toying with him.

"Come out and face me like a real man instead of throwing words from the dark," Derrick challenged, his voice sharp with irritation.

A chuckle reverberated through the room, slow and deliberate, before the figure stepped into the light.

Derrick and Mona froze.

"Alpha Darwin?!" Mona gasped, disbelief evident in her wide eyes.

Derrick’s jaw tightened. His rage boiled to the surface. "You spineless old man," he spat, his voice dripping with venom.

"You think you can summon me like some pet? Do you have a death wish?"

Alpha Darwin merely smiled, the kind of smile that sent a shiver down one’s spine.

He took a step forward, his aged but commanding presence filling the room.
