Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 208: Chapter 208

Mona paced her room like a caged wolf, her fingers twitching and her eyes clouded with rage and confusion.

Her heart raced, not out of fear, but out of frustration.

*I need someone to talk to. I’m going mad in here,* she thought, gripping the edge of a nearby table.

Throwing a dark cloak over her shoulders, she stormed out of her room. The guards outside instantly moved behind her like shadows.

She paused, turned sharply. "Don’t follow me. I need to be alone. I’ll be fine."

They looked at one another, uncertain.

"I said I’ll be fine!" she snapped, this time with the full authority of an alpha. They quickly stepped back, bowing slightly, not daring to argue.

Mona walked through the dimly lit corridors, her boots making soft echoes on the floor. Her mind was flooded with too many thoughts at once.

*Why now? Why is everything spinning out of control?

I need answers and I need them fast* Mona thought to herself.

She reached the door of the old physician’s chamber and the guards there froze when they saw her.

Without waiting for their words, she addressed them.

"I need to speak with him. Alone. Step away from the door."

They obeyed without a word, quickly moving out of earshot.

Mona knocked firmly.

The door creaked open moments later. The old physician blinked in surprise at the sight of her.

"Alpha Mona... you honor me," he said, stepping aside to let her in.

She entered without a word. The air in the chamber was thick with herbs, smoke, and secrets.

"I need answers," Mona said sharply, her tone leaving no room for delay.

"And I want you to speak to me with nothing but truth. No riddles. No flattery. Just the truth."
