Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 207: Chapter 207

The sun had already started its descent when the message came that the woman who claimed to be Kimberly’s mother had arrived.

She was escorted to the main house under the careful watch of two guards and seated in the living room.

Her face was calm, but the weight of time showed in her tired eyes. She sat quietly, her hands folded on her lap, waiting.

A few minutes later, Theo and Kimberly entered the room together.

Kimberly’s steps were hesitant, her fingers lightly trembling at her side.

Her face revealed her inner storm, curiosity, fear, hope... and a deep hunger for answers.

Theo stood tall beside her, his eyes sharp, yet calm, like a quiet storm watching everything closely.

"Thank you for coming," Theo said as they approached.

"I’m really sorry to have called you here without any prior notice... But we have some questions for you, and we hope you’ll be able to help."

The woman nodded gently, offering a small, peaceful smile. "Of course. I understand."

Kimberly moved a bit closer, her voice quiet, but full of emotion.

"Please... tell me everything you know about me. I mean, the things I don’t even know myself. The things I feel but can’t explain."

The woman let out a deep sigh. Her eyes clouded as if she were staring through time.

"There’s nothing that happens without a story... or a beginning," she said, her voice soft but steady.

"So, I’ll tell you everything I know. From the very beginning."

Kimberly and Theo sat, eyes locked on her.

"I come from the lineage of the strongest witches. But I didn’t know myself fully for a very long time... not until I got pregnant with you, and everything started to change."

Kimberly blinked, her breath catching. The woman’s words pulled at something buried deep inside her.

"I was a young girl," the woman continued.

"Full of dreams. I fell in love. Deeply. With your father. He was kind, fierce, and everything I ever wanted. But I didn’t know, he was a werewolf."
