Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 181: Chapter 181

It was in the morning, and Kimberly was in her room, preparing for the test to prove that she was the Moon Goddess reborn.

The weight of the moment pressed against her chest, but she refused to let fear consume her.

As she fastened the last button of her robe, a knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts.

Without hesitation, she called out, "Come in," almost as if she had been expecting the visitor.

Alpha Theo walked in, his posture strong and composed, but the look on his face betrayed his inner turmoil.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes held a storm of emotions, worry, concern, and something deeper that he hadn’t yet voiced.

"Good morning," Kimberly greeted with a warm smile, trying to lighten the heavy air around them.

Theo returned the greeting, though his voice lacked its usual steadiness.

"Good morning, Kim... You look very excited." His gaze lingered on her face, searching for any sign of hesitation.

Kimberly’s smile remained, though she said nothing.

A part of her wanted to ease his mind, but another part knew that no words could take away the uncertainty of the path ahead.

Theo took a deep breath before stepping closer to her, reaching out to take her hands in his.

"Kimberly, do you feel convinced about going through with this test? It’s okay if you don’t feel ready yet.

You don’t have to do this now." His voice was gentle, but there was a firm insistence in his tone.

They both sat on the edge of the bed, the tension in the room growing heavier.

Kimberly exhaled deeply before speaking.

"Theo, I am nervous and scared. But I’m not afraid of the test itself.
