Chapter 144
Kimberly sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers nervously playing with the hem of her dress.
Her thoughts were loud, racing in all directions.
*If I truly have the powers they are all talking about, then why am I running?* she thought, her brows furrowed with confusion and frustration.
She sighed deeply, shaking her head. *Theo says I’m special, that I need to learn to control this... gift.
But what if it’s not enough? What if it’s too late?* The thought made her stomach churn.
She took another deep breath, steeling herself. *No, I can’t think like that. I’ll do everything Theo says.
I’ll learn to control my powers. Then I’ll use them to protect myself, protect everyone who’s helping me.*
Her resolve hardened just as the door creaked open. Kimberly looked up to see Alpha Theo step in, his calm yet commanding presence filling the room.
"Good morning," he said warmly, his sharp eyes scanning her from head to toe. "You look stunning."
Kimberly glanced down at the elegant, flowing dress she was wearing—a far cry from the simple clothes she was used to.
"Thank you," she said softly. "But honestly, I’m not used to wearing things like this. It feels... strange."
