Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 195: Chapter 195

Kimberly stormed into the living room, her heart still racing from the eerie voice she had heard in her chamber.

But the moment she stepped in, her eyes widened in surprise, as Elena was already there, standing stiffly with a worried expression.

A maid was also present, moving toward the direction of Alpha Theo’s chamber.

"Oh, you’re here, ma’am," the maid bowed her head gently and said, pausing when she saw Kimberly enter.

Kimberly acknowledged her with a slight nod before turning to Elena.

They both exchanged a very warm embrace and pleasantries, before Kimberly said...

"You look worried. Is everything alright?"

Elena sighed, crossing her arms. "That’s an understatement."

Before she could say more, Alpha Theo entered the room.

His gaze swept across both women before he moved closer, his expression unreadable.

"Let’s hear it then," Theo said, his deep voice cutting through the tense atmosphere.

Elena exhaled sharply. "As much as I dislike Mona, I can’t stand the thought of the alpha’s seat being taken away from my family because of her stupidity."

Kimberly and Theo exchanged glances before Theo leaned against the armrest of a chair. His lips curled into a faint smirk.

"Do you really believe Mona is stupid?" Kimberly asked, as she looked into Elena’s eyes.

Elena only nodded her head in confusion, as it was obviously seen that she was very worried.

"Hmm... Is that truly your concern, or is there something else?" Theo asked, his eyes sharp with calculation.

Elena hesitated, thrown off by his question. "What do you mean?"
