Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 191: Chapter 191

Mona stood alone in her room, basking in the silence.

The moonlight spilled through the large windows, casting long shadows across the floor.

She moved gracefully to her gigantic standing mirror, the smooth surface reflecting her proud figure.

Her dark eyes glimmered with satisfaction as she examined herself.

Slowly, she ran her fingers through her sleek black hair, admiring the way it cascaded over her shoulders.

"The first female alpha after more than five hundred years..." Mona whispered, a sly smile curving her lips.

"Mona, you’ve done well." She tilted her chin upward, feeling the weight of her new title settle on her shoulders heavy, but exhilarating.

Her reflection stared back at her, proud and powerful. But this is only the beginning.

She turned slightly, admiring the way her dark gown hugged her curves. Power suited her. It felt right, like she had been born for this moment.

"From now on, I’ll need more power... stronger allies. No one will take this throne from me." Mona said to herself.

Her eyes narrowed, burning with determination. Every move from here on out would be calculated. She couldn’t afford a single mistake.

"I need to see Katherina today," she whispered, her fingers curling into fists. "She still has her uses."

Mona moved to her vanity, carefully applying dark lipstick to her full lips.

The color deepened her already sharp features, making her look even more formidable.

When she was done, she slipped on a long black coat and headed toward the door.

Her heels clicked softly against the polished floors as she made her way out.

As she crossed the hallway, she spotted Elena coming towards her. Mona’s eyes narrowed.

Of all the people she could’ve run into, it had to be Elena. The tension between them was always palpable, simmering just beneath the surface.
