Kimberly and Alpha Theo sat across from each other in the quiet living room, their faces drawn with tension.
The weight of their next move pressed down on them, leaving no room for error.
"We can't defeat them from the outside," Theo said after a long pause, his deep voice breaking the silence.
"It's too difficult, and I don't want it to look like I'm trying to start a war between the two packs. The other Alphas might see it as a provocation."
Kimberly nodded slowly, her mind racing. "Then we need to find another way, something unexpected… something only I can do."
Theo raised an eyebrow, leaning forward. "What do you mean? What are you thinking?"
Kimberly hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath. "I'll have to go back."
Theo blinked, his expression shifting from confusion to alarm. "Go back? To Derrick's pack? Kimberly, are you out of your mind? That's suicide!"
