Chapter 124
Alpha Derrick sat beside the hospital bed, his gaze fixed on the motionless figure of Alpha Darwin.
The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the air, steady and unchanging, much like the man’s condition.
Alpha Darwin had been a powerful figure, and seeing him in such a vulnerable state felt almost made his existence useless to Derrick. But his thoughts were far from sentimental.
"I need to make sure Mona is in check," Derrick muttered under his breath, his tone low and calculating.
"She can’t afford to get distracted by her constant search about who Kimberly is. This is my chance to handle things the way they need to be handled."
He stood abruptly, his boots clicking sharply against the tiled floor as he walked over to the window.
The city bright sunlight vividly shines in the distance and everywhere, casting more brighter light across the room.
The glow of the fluorescent hospital lights contrasted harshly with the darkness surrounding Derrick’s thoughts.
"If Mona stays focused on father’s search, she won’t have time to meddle," Derrick continued, his voice a mixture of determination and calculation.
"As for Kimberly... I need to ensure her secrets remain mine.
No one else should know her full potential until I’ve figured out how to use it for my pack—and for myself alone."
