It was in the morning, and Kimberly was in her room, preparing for the test to prove that she was the Moon Goddess reborn.
The weight of the moment pressed against her chest, but she refused to let fear consume her.
As she fastened the last button of her robe, a knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts.
Without hesitation, she called out, "Come in," almost as if she had been expecting the visitor.
Alpha Theo walked in, his posture strong and composed, but the look on his face betrayed his inner turmoil.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes held a storm of emotions, worry, concern, and something deeper that he hadn't yet voiced.
"Good morning," Kimberly greeted with a warm smile, trying to lighten the heavy air around them.
Theo returned the greeting, though his voice lacked its usual steadiness.
"Good morning, Kim… You look very excited." His gaze lingered on her face, searching for any sign of hesitation.
