Lucian's gaze was steady, his voice low and deliberate.
"Mona isn't just trying to take over Derrick's pack. She's planning something much bigger.
She wants to bring someone to succeed the late Alpha Darwin."
The room fell silent. Kimberly and Theo exchanged a look, shock flashing in their eyes.
Theo leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
"How do you know this?" His voice was sharp, demanding answers. "And what exactly is your plan?"
Lucian smirked faintly, folding his arms across his chest.
"That's why I admire you, Alpha Theo. You don't waste time with pleasantries." He paused, as if considering his next words carefully.
"I am the son of the late Alpha Ramirez."
Theo's eyes narrowed. "Ramirez?" He sat back, processing the revelation.
"Your father challenged for the alpha seat before Derrick took over." His voice was measured, but there was curiosity behind it.
"If my thoughts are correct, it simply means, now you want it back."
