Derek's POV

"I don't think it's any business competitor. After all, all the bidding projects this year are quite normal. Then... If it isn't for commercial interests, why are these cameras here?" Rolf pondered.

"Find out every single person who has been in my office this past year," I said.

"I'm on it. We can surely trace the person down."

"Too late," I smiled coldly. "The cameras are here. Don't you think that person has already seen us? But..."

I took out my lighter, and with a sound, a flame ignited.

"Someone's still here. Right?"

The sky gradually darkened, and everyone in the office had already left.

As I stood outside the office, I saw Tabitha. She was alone, working overtime.

She stretched lazily on her seat, rubbed her stiff neck, and then turned off the lights and left.

I restrained my aura and had Leo conceal his presence. Then I followed her.

She walked quickly towards the elevator.

I immediately followed up.

    Tabitha's POVAfter I got home, I checked the trackers again. The one at the garbage disposal center was already gone, and the rest were still right where they had been.Lucian's phone was still turned off. I sighed.I was getting closer and closer to the truth, yet there was always something blocking my sight. I had no idea how to get rid of it.One good thing, though. The project went well. My plan passed the screening, and the company and I set a meeting time.I dressed up in a suit specifically. When I entered the door, I felt that my palms were perspiring.Pushing open the door, I smiled gracefully, "Hi there. I'm Tabitha Hartley, from the Greenwood Group."The good-looking young man wearing a white suit sitting smiled, too, "Hi, Tabitha. We meet again."I was stunned. "Jasper?"Only then did I realize. "The general manager of Austin Group is you actually?""Yeah." Jasper shrugged helplessly.Then I immediately asked, "Did

    Tabitha's POV"Sure." I gave Jasper all of Dad's reports, and he examined them carefully.Time passed by slowly. After quite a while, he looked up at me.There was something different in his gaze."Tabitha, perhaps there's still hope for John. If Matthew's doing the surgery, chances are, John's gonna make it."I sighed, "Yeah. If Matthew is doing the surgery. Too bad that I've tried almost everything, but he's still nowhere to be found.""Don't worry. I'll help with my connections."Standing by the bed, I wiped Dad's body with a warm towel. "I don't know if Dad can wait that long.""I'm sure he can."I turned and met Jasper's eyes shimmering with an inexplicable determination.After we came out of the hospital, he was energetic and bubbly again. "Why don't you buy me some dinner? I'm starving.""Sure. What's in your mind?"I grew up wishing I had a sibling. To me, the sweet Jasper was like my little brother."There's a

    Tabitha's POVI smiled when I heard Derek's words. Seeing him frown, I knew my smile must have been very ironic.I broke his fingers one by one. "Alpha Derek, I've never asked you for anything. That so-called position of the Black Thorn Pack's Luna? Now that I've let go, it means nothing to me."His eyes flickered while I continued extremely calmly, "You know, in the past, I thought you were the best thing that happened to me, and nothing in this world beat the second you smiled at me. But when I walked alone with a tired body, I realized that I was wrong. In fact, everything in this world is better than you."I gently raised my hand and used my slender fingers to gently caress his face in front of me that I had once loved with all my heart."Derek, to say that I've already forgotten you completely would be a lie. I still have feelings for you, and perhaps I still will for a long time. You'll still affect my mood. But ... I'm running outta energy to think ab

    Tabitha's POV"He didn't do it, but the photos indeed came from him. Everyone knows he's a lecher, and any pretty woman can lure him easily. You know what? Maybe some woman used his phone to send them to Ms. Mendoza," Emma analyzed."You're right."The last thing the mastermind behind the scenes wanted was for me to know about his or her identity.The person was certain that I'd pin it on Henry and look into him.I had to say that the person was quite scheming.But this happened to give me a direction to work on. I'd know the whole truth as long as I knew who had approached Henry.Great! I was one step closer to the truth. Instantly, I was in a much better mood. After all, it was the only good news I had heard these few days.Yet in the next second, someone I was familiar with entered Group C's office.She was dressed decently with delicate makeup. Seeing that, the receptionist greeted her nicely."Ma'am, who are you here for?"

    Tabitha's POVDerek's overwhelming Alpha aura filled the entire office.Holly swallowed and said, "I did it for your sake. I know Tabitha's been pestering you. Now that you're about to get engaged to Daphne, I wanna be of help."I was just about to open my mouth when Derek beat me to it. He said, "I think you've got one thing wrong."He placed the cup in front of her and continued, "I've been the one pestering Tabitha."His words were like a slap in Holly's face.She failed to come back to her senses even after quite a while. Then she stammered, "What? How ... could it be? You... You and Tabitha have been on bad terms, right? Besides, you've already gone through the rejection ceremony. And you have kids with Daphne already. So, I figured...""Seeing isn't always believing, not to mention it's all rumors. It's your family's affairs, so I wasn't in a place to say anything, but I'd like to remind you something. Tabitha is your daughter, and Daphne is

    Tabitha's POVMy words made Holly blush.After finishing speaking, I looked back at Derek and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you firing me?"He looked at me indifferently. "You've only come here for just a few days, yet you've already caused great trouble. I don't want you to ruin my company's image. I'll have HR pay you three times your contract. You can go down to get your money now."I was so reluctant to give up. Shit! Of all times, he wanted to see me gone right now? Right before I was about to find out the truth?Unfortunately, I had just made a clean break with him, so I couldn't play soft right now at all.Derek said meaningfully, "Isn't this exactly what you want?"I clenched my fists tighter and tighter. In the end, I unclenched them."Yes. I see."Holly got her way and became gentle again."Tabitha, tell me if you need money. You know, the Amber's Eye Pack has many industries, too. Mark can get you anything you

    Tabitha's POVThe one walking towards me wasn't Derek. It was Jasper.He extended his hand towards me, asking, "I saw you on my way by. What happened? You sprained your ankle?"I waved my hand to politely refuse his kindness and got up on my own.Smiling helplessly, I said, "I was lost in thought. I didn't even realize I stopped here.""The Dawn Vanguard Pack is around. If you want to, you may go check on Tucker. He misses you so much."Of course I wouldn'tsay no to such an offer. So I nodded and followed Jasper into his car.It was very warm inside, in stark contrast to the outside. Jasper handed me a hot latte."I went out to get coffee from this place. It's nice. Give it a go."I nodded and took the latte. "Thanks.""You're thanking me? For real? Come on, Tabitha," he smiled and turned the steering wheel with one hand.I felt a bit strange. All of a sudden, a voice in my head rang out, telling me the latte was meant for me to

    Derek's POVI knew why Holly made a scene at my company. It was all for Daphne.I didn't fire Tabitha because I wasn't afraid of Holly. I just didn't want Tabitha to become a thorn in the side of the Amber's Eye Pack, or she might be in danger.It was also my way of punishing her.After all, she had been trying to draw a line between us.A few months ago, all I wanted was to get rid of her. Yet now that she had actually stopped bothering me, I ended up the one having trouble letting go.Whenever her distant expression emerged in my mind, I felt inexplicably restless.Tugging at my tie, I said to Rolf, "Go to Mark's place."Daphne was over the moon when seeing me. She even prepared a large table of food.Meanwhile, though Holly still pulled a long face, she kept pouring me drinks.I was polite but distant, focused on dandling Kyrian.Yet no matter how I tried, Kyrian barely laughed. Most of the time, he'd just stare out of the wi

"Sorry, Alpha Derek's delirious," he blurted, terrified of offending Doctor Venessa."Get his clothes off and put him in the tub," Tabitha instructed, turning away to sort herbs."Fully?" Alvin asked, unsure."Fully," Tabitha confirmed, her voice flat.Alvin hesitated, then stripped Derek bare.Tabitha's mind flashed with memories of Derek's body—the same one she'd once known intimately.Compared to when she'd left, Derek's physique was more muscular.When she'd gripped his waist earlier, she'd distinctly felt the elasticity and definition of his muscles.Now, with his clothes removed, several new scars were visible across his chest.She'd watched him from afar over the years, always avoiding contact, always ensuring she remained invisible to him.Several times over the years, Derek had nearly crossed paths with Tabitha during missions. Each time, she deli

The all-around physician?"An "all-around physician" was a rarity—doctors usually specialized.But Vanessa wasn't just rare. She was legendary.Alvin had first heard her name last year when she became one of the few surgeons capable of performing interdental artificial cornea surgery.The procedure was so complex it required collaboration across dental, ophthalmological, and radiological fields.Yet Vanessa, a twenty-something newcomer, pulled it off.Media swarmed, patients flocked—but she vanished.Then came a high-risk heart surgery, again under her name.Another worldwide sensation.Reporters chased shadows.

"Who is she?" she demanded."This is the miracle doctor who can save Alpha Derek. Show some respect," Rolf warned, wary of Misha's infamous temper flaring up again.Despite her pride, Misha's love for Derek was genuine.She quickly composed herself. "Of course, Doctor. I entrust my Derek to you," she said, the possessive words slipping out before she could catch them.Rolf's eyebrow twitched. Since when was Derek "hers"?Alma appeared in the doorway. "You're back.""Yes," the woman replied, her tone neutral."Let me introduce everyone. These folks are here for treatment. The young man's poisoned—Nine-Heart Wolfsbane, nearly dead.

    Third person's POVRolf's eyes were red and puffy from crying. "What's Alpha Derek trying to do?" he blubbered."Let him have this one last moment of freedom," Alvin said, holding Rolf back.The mountain wind chilled their tears, but Derek couldn't feel it anymore.His knees shook with every movement, each step draining what little strength he had left.Still, he didn't give up, gritting his teeth and forcing one foot in front of the other.The child stood bathed in sunlight—just a few steps away, and he could hold her.What should've been a quick stride took dozens of seconds, maybe longer.Hedwig stood with her back to him, pigeons swirling around her. A speckled one landed on her finger, cooing.Hedwig's eyes lit up—her mom was back!She spun around to see Derek lurching toward her, unsteady and lifeless yet driven by sheer will.He reached out, fingers trembling, when his body swayed dangero

    Third person's POVWhy did it have to be Derek?Alvin's fists tightened as he stared at the horizon. Derek had lived with a clear conscience—except for Tabitha. He didn't deserve this end.But Alvin wasn't a healer. All he could do was watch as Derek's breaths grew shallower, his skin paler.The bell tinkled again—Hedwig had followed them here.When they finally stopped, Alvin eased Derek against a gnarled pine, its needles pricking Derek's back like needles of ice."This spot's good," Alvin said, voice cracking. "You'll see the sunrise."Derek nodded weakly. "Good."The mountain wind bit through Derek's coat, but it cleared his head a little."Alvin... my biggest regret was letting Daphne's demands tear Tabitha and me apart. If I hadn't blamed her for Silver Moon Pack's problems... none of this would've happened.""Alpha Derek, you had your reasons," Alvin said, though the words felt hollow."R

After eating the fruit she'd given him, he picked up his pen again.All night, he didn't rest.He could feel the life Hedwig had breathed into him fading. His senses were dulling again.But the will was done. Now, he only wanted to write letters—to Tabitha, to his kids, Kyrian, Helios and Ayla.The poison was moving faster than it should've. Every letter cost him energy, accelerating the venom's grip.First, he wrote to Kyrian. "Be a good man. Lead the pack with your heart, not just your claws."Derek's chest ached. He'd failed Kyrian, leaving him to shoulder the pack's weight alone.But love? That never faded.Next, his mother.The letter was short—"Take care of Kyrian. If Tabitha ev

    Third person's POVAt the mention of the word "will," Rolf's face, which had been tense for days, crumpled. His eyes instantly reddened."Alpha Derek, you don't need a will! You're gonna be fine, you hear me?!"But at this moment, Derek became calm. "I don't have much time left. It took me a lot of effort to get to this camp. Even if I leave, it would take a day. What's the point of leaving if she comes back right after I go? It's better to stay here. If she doesn't come back in the end, I at least need to settle things, I can't just die without any explanation.""Alpha Derek...""Alvin, go get it," Derek said.Alvin's eyes welled up. "Alright."Alban, with red eyes, said, "I'm sorry, kid. I couldn't help you this time.""Dr. Weaver, I'm already grateful to you. You're right, there are some things beyond our control. I guess this is just my fate."In just two days, Derek had gone from a healthy man to someone whose organ

    Third person's POVAlma felt a bit awkward. "I'm not sure about that."After all, Hedwig was Derek's spitting image, but she wasn't certain about Hedwig's father."Regardless, he already has other women by his side. He might have forgotten your mother and could build a future with someone else. Even so, do you still want to save him?"Hedwig pursed her lips and didn't respond. Alma stroked her hair, "Poor child, you should know how hard your mother worked to escape him. If he discovers you two are still alive, he'll imprison her again. Do you want that?"Hedwig shook her head gently."Then pretend you don't know him. Your mother and the others aren't in the village. Whether he survives is up to luck," Alma sighed, "Your mother suffered too much. She was barely alive when she gave birth to you. Cherish the life you have now."Hedwig nodded.Strangely, after Derek drank Hedwig's blood, about half an hour later, his vision and hea

"Stop making a fuss here! Don't try to coerce me with such theatrics. Whether you stay or do something more extreme, it has nothing to do with me. If you're looking for trouble, take it elsewhere, not here!"Misha stood there, stunned. How could Mrs. Atkinson act so unreasonably?"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think this is a soap opera?" Alma sneered, "Now leave before you soil my place."As she spoke, she shielded Hedwig's eyes, "Don't look, or it might ruin your mood."Misha returned, drenched and furious, cursing under her breath, "Why is this old woman so difficult? She didn't have to help, but did she have to throw urine at me?"Rolf pinched his nose and stepped back
