Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 210: Chapter 210

The breeze in the garden was soft, brushing against their skins like whispers from the trees.

Alpha Theo sat beside Kimberly, both of them quiet for a moment, enjoying the cool hush of evening.

That calm was broken when Elijah walked in with his usual serious stride.

"Alpha," Elijah said, bowing slightly, "Lucian and Steve are here."

Theo’s eyes lit up slightly. "Good. Bring them here to join us," he said, a pleased smile crossing his face.

Kimberly turned to him, her expression curious. "Were you expecting them before? And... why are they together?"

"Because we need men with power," Theo replied calmly.

"Men who are not afraid to face anything and anyone for the greater good . Both Lucian and Steve are hungry. They have something to prove."

Kimberly, seated across from him, leaned forward. "So what are we talking about with them?"

"They’ll give us updates. Things I can’t see yet," Theo answered.

"But more than that, I need your help, Kimberly. Watch them. Listen beyond their words. I need your instincts. I need to know their truth."

Kimberly gave a simple nod. "You’ll have it."

Moments later, Elijah returned, this time with Lucian and Steve walking behind him. They both looked sharp, their eyes alert.

They exchanged greetings respectfully and took their seats directly opposite Theo and Kimberly.

Theo didn’t waste time. "Let’s go straight to business. We don’t have time to waste."

Lucian and Steve both leaned forward slightly, listening intently.

"Steve," Theo began, "what have you found out about Mona lately?"
