Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 205

Chapter 206: Chapter 206

The room was dimly lit, and silence hung in the air like a heavy curtain.

Kimberly sat on the long leather couch with a file in her hands, her brows furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line.

Theo stood by the window, arms crossed, staring blankly outside while Elijah paced back and forth.

"This... this isn’t just suspicion anymore," Kimberly finally said, holding the file up. "We have proof."

Theo didn’t turn around. "Are you sure it’s her?"

Elijah stopped pacing and nodded.

"Positive. One of the trackers traced an encrypted signal.

It was coming from her room, alpha. Mona planted a cloaking charm around her space, but she wasn’t smart enough to cover her trails outside the main house."

Kimberly flipped open the file again, her voice steady but low. "She’s been meeting with two of the elders, Elder Gregor and Elder Evans.

The same two who questioned your rise to alpha king."

Theo finally turned around, his jaw clenched.

"They’re the ones who brought Derrick up last year... during the council review."

"Yes," Elijah answered. "And now they’ve found a new pawn. Mona."

Kimberly’s eyes flickered with something like disbelief. "But why? What does Mona gain by working with them?"

Theo’s voice was sharp. "Power. The seat of alpha isn’t enough for her anymore. She wants more, wants the throne I sit on."

There was a long pause. No one said anything until Elijah broke the silence again.

"There’s something else." He walked to the corner of the room and pulled out a small wrapped item from his bag.

"We found this hidden in her room. It’s ancient... coded with dark incantations."

Kimberly leaned forward. "Is it cursed?"

"No. Not cursed. Worse, it’s a blood-binding talisman. She’s bound herself to someone.

We’re still analyzing the energy signature, but from the first reading, it matches someone not in the pack."

Theo’s eyes narrowed. "Derrick."

Elijah nodded slowly.

Kimberly gasped. "She bound herself to him?"

"Seems so. That’s why she’s so confident... she believes no one can touch her."

Theo moved away from the window, the weight of their discovery resting heavily on his shoulders.

"If she’s bound to Derrick, that means their strength is linked. If he returns..."

"She’ll be unstoppable," Elijah finished.

Kimberly shook her head. "We have to act now."

"No," Theo replied sharply.
