Chapter 192: Chapter 192

Lucian’s gaze was steady, his voice low and deliberate.

"Mona isn’t just trying to take over Derrick’s pack. She’s planning something much bigger.

She wants to bring someone to succeed the late Alpha Darwin."

The room fell silent. Kimberly and Theo exchanged a look, shock flashing in their eyes.

Theo leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

"How do you know this?" His voice was sharp, demanding answers. "And what exactly is your plan?"

Lucian smirked faintly, folding his arms across his chest.

"That’s why I admire you, Alpha Theo. You don’t waste time with pleasantries." He paused, as if considering his next words carefully.

"I am the son of the late Alpha Ramirez."

Theo’s eyes narrowed. "Ramirez?" He sat back, processing the revelation.

"Your father challenged for the alpha seat before Derrick took over." His voice was measured, but there was curiosity behind it.

"If my thoughts are correct, it simply means, now you want it back."

Lucian gave a single nod. "My father was a good man, but he was betrayed. I intend to reclaim what’s rightfully ours."

Kimberly raised an eyebrow, skepticism creeping into her voice. "And why should we trust you? What else do you want, besides power?"

Lucian chuckled softly. "Power is a means to an end, moon goddess Kimberly.

I have wealth. Influence. But the alpha’s seat? That was stolen from my father." He clenched his jaw.

"I want justice. And if you help me get it, I’ll be loyal to you both. Forever... I give you my word and swear on my life."
