Tabitha's POV

It was getting late at night, but I didn't feel sleepy at all.

After staring at the ceiling for a while, I got up, looking out the window to enjoy the night view.

Tucker was sprawling lazily under the cherry tree, stretching out and pawing the ground.

The cherry blossoms rained down like gentle confetti, blanketing the ground in a soft layer of petals.

It was supposed to bring me inner peace, yet I just couldn't shake off the anxiety and uneasiness in my mind.

Deep down, I knew Jasper's suggestion was solid for me—leaving was probably the best move.

Given Dad's health, the longer I waited, the riskier it'd be for him. And Jasper would have some other doctor to treat me, too. Leaving would only do me good.

Yet ever since I agreed to his suggestion, I'd been feeling uneasy. It was like I was stuck in a fog, and I couldn't find my way out of it.

Something just felt off.

All of a sudden, a piercing scream came from Jasper's room, snapping me back to reality.

    Tabitha's POVI helped Gloria up and adjusted my voice, speaking in an old lady's tone, "Young lady, it's cold on the ground. Get up. You're so young, and I'm sure the life ahead of you is promising. What are you crying for?""Ma'am, I lost my best friend. I can't find her," Gloria said, looking as sad and stubborn as a girl who had lost her toy.I put the umbrella in her hand and said earnestly, "All things in this world come to an end. Young lady, perhaps you may find it hard to believe, but leaving isn't necessarily a bad thing. Who knows? Perhaps you'll get to see her again someday."While she was still processing it, I winked at her.Then I walked away before she sensed anything.After I made it to the street corner, I hid by a lamppost, watching her from a distance.Just as she took a few steps, the note that I tucked into the ribs of the umbrella fell off. And she caught it just in time.Having read the note, she jumped up and down with excitement.That was when I knew she got

    Derek's POVIn the Black Thorn Pack's packhouse, I swept the pile of files in front of me to the floor once again.I propped my hands on the desk, finding it hard to control my temper."Why the hell haven't you found Tabitha yet?""Alpha Derek, calm down. That area is almost drained of water. If Tabitha was really dead, we'd have found her body by now. Chances are, she's hiding out there somewhere."Of course, I knew she was hiding. But I would never hurt her. She might not trust anyone else, but really? She didn't trust me either?If she wasn't dead, why didn't she come to me?Frustrated, I had to shift my attention to the investigation to distract myself.According to what I had found these days, obviously, someone had been framing John.The pile of files in front of me was the result of a more thorough investigation, and they unveiled many problems.The earlier reports suggested John had some sketchy relationships with the she-wol

I'm sure we'll find her soon."I stroked my chest, trying to chase away this gnawing fear that I was about to lose her for good.After getting everything set up, I took sleeping pills, the only way for me to get some sleep.In my dream, I once again saw Tabitha standing at the beach.She was wearing a beautiful dress, staring at me coldly."You murderer! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my baby, and my dad wouldn't have been in a coma. You're gonna pay for what you did!""Tabitha, please hear me out.""Jerk, the biggest mistake I've ever made is marrying you."With that, she took a sharp knife and shoved it into my chest. The blood gushed out, staining the sand.Yet, the smile on her face remained stunning."You deserve it. You owe me yo

    Derek's POVPerhaps the implication of my words moved Gloria.She pondered for a while before finally answering, "Actually, I haven't seen her. All I know is that she came to see me.""If you didn't see her, how do you know she came?" I asked, puzzled.She took out a crumpled-up note from her wallet and handed it to me, saying, "You recognize the handwriting, right?"Taking it over, I saw only two words: "Take care."My heart sank immediately.Sure enough, Tabitha was about to leave. The note was her saying goodbye to Gloria!I pulled out a business card and stood up, telling her, "If she ever comes to you, call me at once."Then I gestured at Alvin, who came to pay the bill right away.I hurried out of the restaurant, looking up at the gloomy sky.Seattle wasn't exactly big, but I couldn't find the person I was dying to see whatsoever.Rolf, standing next to me, cautiously asked, "Alpha Derek, what's our next move?""

I immediately ducked my head down into the car, avoiding his gaze.'He didn't see me. He didn't see me,' I prayed inwardly, my heart racing.After the car drove away, I stole a glance at him through the rearview mirror.He was still walking in the same direction, his pace steady. Guessed my prayer wor

    Tabitha's POVI had put on heavy makeup. Right now, my skin was darkened, and there were a few speckles on my face.Even those who knew me well might not recognize me at first glance.I slowly pulled down the blanket, revealing my disguised face. "How may I help? Sorry. I'm a bit seasick.""We are going after some smugglers. So we'll need you to answer some questions. It'll be quick."The woman took out her notepad, starting grilling me, "What's your name? What do you do for a living? Where are you heading? And how many people are on board?"I told her the answers I had rehearsed with Jasper, keeping my cool."OK. Thanks for your time," she said.Just as she was about to leave, she took a tablet out of her pocket. "I've got some anti-seasick meds right here. They work great.""Thanks." I reached out to take it.Noticing her intense gaze at my wrist, I panicked immediately.I didn't put makeup on my wrist!!!Fortunately, it

Rolf snarled as he inched closer to Jasper, his eyes turning golden.'Damn it, he's gonna shift right here!' I cursed inwardly.Just then, I broke free from Derek's embrace and threw my arms up to protect Jasper."Don't hurt him. It was my idea."Alvin spoke up, his face deadpan, "Tabitha, Alpha Derek's been searching for you day and night without getting a wink of sleep, and here you are defending another guy. Don't you think you're being too cruel?"Cruel? Compared to what he'd done to me, I was not the least cruel!"I was the one begging Jasper to take me away. Just come at me. Leave him alone!"Jasper chuckled, "Tabitha, no matter what you said, it wouldn't change anything. I've seen this coming when I made the plan."Hearing his words, I felt eve

    Derek's POVTabitha was right. I did plan to do so.I could no longer bear the pain of losing her once again. I just wanted her to stay by my side forever so that I could see her anytime I wanted."Tabitha, I've tried to let you go, to let you live a free life. As long as you stayed in Seattle as promised, everything would've been fine. But you went back on your word."I paused, my face screwed up in agony. "I've tried to control my possessiveness, seriously."My restraint, however, just pushed her further away instead of helping her drop her fear for me.During the days when she went missing, I lived like a zombie—totally drained and lifeless.If I experienced it ever again, I would become a lunatic, I swore.Thus, I decided that I'd rather she hate me than not be able to see her at all.While I was lost in thought, Tabitha's question snapped me out of it. "How did we even get to this point..."I put on a wry smile.Came
