Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 187: Chapter 187

The silence that followed was deafening. Kimberly and Theo stood at the entrance of the sacred hall, their eyes still glowing with the radiant blue light of the spirits.

The weight of what had just happened settled upon the crowd like an invisible force.

No one dared to speak. No one dared to move.

Then, the voice rang out again from the mysterious doorway behind them, a voice that did not belong to any human present.

"Bow before your Alpha King and the Moon Goddess Reborn!"

The command echoed through the room like a decree written in the very fabric of the universe.

One by one, the alphas, their Lunas, the elders, and every important figure present had already dropped to their knees, their heads bowed in submission.

It was not a choice; it was a force compelling them to acknowledge the truth before them.

The balance of power had shifted, and none could deny it.

But amidst the sea of kneeling figures, two had returned to remaining upright... Alpha Derrick and Mona.

Their faces were twisted in defiance, their bodies trembling as they fought against the invisible force pushing them down.

Mona gritted her teeth, her nails digging into her palms as she struggled to remain standing.

Derrick’s jaw was clenched so tightly that a vein pulsed visibly at his temple.

Kimberly’s gaze locked onto Derrick’s. "Still resisting, Alpha Derrick?" she asked, her voice calm but carrying the weight of her newfound power.

Derrick spat on the ground. "I will never bow to you! You think this is over?

You think you have won?" His eyes burned with hatred, and yet, his legs wobbled, betraying the strength of the force that demanded his submission.

Theo stepped forward. "It is not about winning or losing, Derrick. It is about destiny. The spirits have spoken."

Mona let out a bitter laugh. "Destiny?" she sneered.
