Chapter 197: Chapter 197

Mona gripped the steering wheel as she maneuvered through the winding roads leading away from the pack house.

It was ten in the morning, and every second mattered.

She had been working tirelessly, meeting important figures, persuading those who mattered, and ensuring her grip on the Alpha’s seat remained unshaken.

*Lucian thinks he can challenge me? That foolish boy. He has no idea who he’s up against.* Mona thought.

Her eyes flickered with determination as she pulled up to an old but grand estate, the home of the Supreme Chief Priest.

As she stepped out of the car, a familiar figure caught her attention.

Steve.

He was just about to leave.

Her expression remained neutral, masking the curiosity and slight irritation bubbling beneath. *What is Steve doing here?*

She walked toward them with a controlled smile, her heels clicking against the stone pavement.

"Well, this is a surprise," she said smoothly, exchanging greetings with both men.

Steve met her gaze for a brief moment, his expression unreadable. "I was just leaving," he said casually, glancing between her and the Supreme Chief Priest.

Mona’s mind raced. *Leaving? No. I can’t let him walk away just yet.*

"Please, Steve," she said quickly, her voice holding a tone of persuasion.

"You are one of us now. I would like to discuss a matter of great urgency with you and the Supreme Chief Priest."

Steve raised an eyebrow slightly. *Since when does Mona ever want to involve me in anything?*

He studied her carefully. *What is she up to and what game is she playing?*

The Supreme Chief Priest remained silent, watching the exchange with an air of amusement before finally gesturing for them to enter.
