Derek's POV

After getting rid of all the snitches, I sat down in my office, grinding away.

No one dared to disturb me.

Once I wrapped up my work, Leo told me someone was waiting outside.

As soon as I opened the door, Daphne rushed at me. "Derek!"

I frowned the second I saw her. "What are you doing here? If you want something, go tell Alvin. I'm busy."

I didn't wanna see her at all. Same went for Leo.

She gazed at me, frozen, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Derek, can't you see my face is swollen?"

I finally looked up at her, noticing there was a slap mark on her cheek.

"Who did this to you?"

"My dad."

"Well, I can't help you with that." I turned and plopped back down at my desk, flipping through a folder.

Of course, I couldn't go and settle accounts with Mark.

Not just because he was Daphne's dad but because he was a venerable man.

Daphne dashed over, complaining, "If it had been Tabitha who was hurt, would you have been so cold as well?"

I wanted to snap back and say she didn't deserv

He suppose to be a strong feared alpha but yet he let one woman whom he thought was his mate's sister control him for years. He's a joke!

It will be funny if she planned his friend's death and he did all this for her.

    Derek's POVI agreed readily, but I asked her to give me some time, for Tabitha was pregnant, too.Although I had started to give Tabitha the cold shoulder by then, I never wanted to hurt her with the whole cheating thing during her pregnancy.We had wanted a baby of our own so badly. Yet when she was finally expecting one, I had to give Daphnemy full attention while neglecting Tabitha for the sake of my promise.I insisted on giving Daphne whatever she wanted, even though it upset Tabitha.Daphne became greedier because of my indulgence. And she even aimed to hurt Tabitha on purpose.I was constantly thinking about how I owed Randall, so I kept giving in.As time passed by, Daphne had no difficulty enjoying everything and asking for whatever she wanted.Till this moment, she was still using Randall's death to blackmail me."Anyway, you promised to take good care of me, and you have to keep your word."Daphne smirked, "Don't think I'm clueless about what you're up to.

    Tabitha's POV"Tabitha, the afternoon tea's ready. Are you dining here or somewhere else?" asked the Omega."Here.""Sure. Just a sec. It'll be ready right away."The afternoon tea was a selection of snacks and juices from various countries, and I felt that I was staying in a seven-star hotel rather than a secluded island.At first, I was dying to go back to Seattle as soon as possible, but Jasper's call this morning changed my mind.He told me that the ship where Dad was on had been sailing smoothly, and within a few more days, it'd arrive at the island he designated.He also mentioned that Dad's vital signs were stable, which put my mind at ease.As long as Dad was safe, no one could ever force me to do anything.Now that the woman couldn't find me, I bet she was getting fidgety and angry.If I went back to Seattle now, Mark would definitely make me donate blood for Holly.I had everything I needed here, and I felt great.

    Derek's POVAfter hanging up the phone, I looked at the pile of new evidence in front of me.During the time Tabitha was not in Seattle, I devoted all my time to finding out everything about Poison and Wolf Shadow and digging into some old stuff.I tracked down the pack where Ethan used to be and found a photo of a child from some nearby werewolves. The kid looked very much like Vilda and a bit like Ethan.Though I couldn't find the kid, his existence said it all.All that talk about Vilda being pregnant with John's kid and being pushed into a corner proved to be nothing but a big, fat lie.Someone spread the rumors on purpose to tarnish John's reputation.And the person even pinned John's worsening condition on me.Whoever was behind all this had the whole thing planned out from the get-go.But it seemed like this person wasn't trying to hurt me. Instead, the person wanted to drive a wedge between me and Tabitha.To make me reject h

    Derek's POVI pinched the bridge of my nose, lowered my head, and said in a low voice, "I never wanna hurt her again, neither physically nor mentally.""But finally, you've got a chance to cut things off with Miss Sutton. I'm afraid there will never be such a good reason again," suggested Alvin.In others' eyes, it seemed obvious what I should do, as Mark's offer would only do me good. But I didn't say yes.On the contrary, I turned him down at the risk of offending him."It's never the Amber's Eye Pack that forces me to be together with Daphne."It's my promise to Randall. I promised him I'd take care of Daphne for him.""Alpha Derek...""Enough. I want you to do something for me. Tabitha can't wait to be back, and I don't have time to deal with them slowly."Alvin gave a reluctant nod. "Yes, Alpha Derek."I looked out the window at the pitch-black night, thinking, 'Tabitha, I'd make things right for you and get back what was yours.

    Tabitha's POVSitting in the helicopter, I heard nothing except for the rotor roar outside the window. The cabin was dead quiet.Perhaps feeling uneasy because of the silence, Mark finally spoke up, "I don't get it. Blood ritual is one of the traditions of us werewolves. We have strong self-healing abilities, so losing a bit of blood isn't a big deal."Besides, Holly is your mom. Is giving her a hand that difficult for you?"Hearing his words, I couldn't help but sneer.Crystal growled in my mind, "They've hurt us!""Yes. I won't forget that," I replied inwardly, kinda reminding myself too.Then I turned and looked at Mark, scoffing, "Will you be this forgiving towards a werewolf who wants you dead?"Mark froze.I continued, "The second Holly chose to save Daphne instead of me, she's no longer my mom. As I said, I owe her nothing now."Mark opened his mouth as if trying to say something.But I turned away, ignoring him completel

    Tabitha's POV"Isn't it obvious? A woman like you doesn't deserve his love at all. I want you to see with your own eyes how he pushes you from heaven straight to hell.""To frame me, you went as far as killing Elena?! She didn't do anything wrong. Who gave you the right to end her life?!" I spat, fuming.The woman's eyes flickered.Although Crystal had been put to sleep, I could feel her wolf getting restless."You're so noisy. You know what? I changed my mind," she snorted.She put away the blade and took out another syringe she had prepared."Look, this is a newly developed poison. Just one milliliter, and you'll bite the dust. Don't worry. It won't hurt much. In less than 30 seconds, you'll kiss the world goodbye for good."You ought to feel lucky. You're the first ever werewolf who has the privilege to test this wolfsbane potion," she said, looking down at me.Wolfsbane potion? It reminded me of the wolfsbane smeared on my abdominal w

    Derek's POVI was now in a forested suburb of Seattle.This place was once set for development, but after the locals moved out, nothing ever got built.Over time, it just turned into a ghost town—totally abandoned.In the pouring rain, I saw some old rundown buildings and a couple of crows standing on old power poles.I didn't come here for travel, obviously. I was leading the shifters of my pack and the mercenary squad I sponsored to the den of Poison and Wolf Shadow.Gunfire was blasting away, totally wrecking the peace in these woods.Unbeknownst to them, we had this base surrounded.In the quiet forest, flames were flickering everywhere.The shifters of the Black Thorn Pack had been through the Gamma's hardcore training.

    Derek's POVI was already soaked by the heavy rain, but Rolf still held the umbrella over my head."Alpha Derek, it's raining hard. Besides, Tabitha is with Mr. Sutton. Shall we go back?"I lowered my head and slowly said, "Dig up the coffin."Rolf replied out of habit, "OK."He was stunned for a whole five seconds before he realized what he had heard. "What?"With a loud sound, the thunder rumbled through the sky as the lightning shone on everything. I grabbed the edge of the tombstone as I exerted more strength, saying word by word, "I said, dig up the coffin."Rolf stuttered."A-Alpha Derek, really? It's in the middle of the night. It's a bit ... inappropriate, don't you think?"I didn't bother to explain to him. Rolf was never as clever as Alvin."Get someone to dig the grave and open the coffin. Now!" I ordered with authority."Got it." Rolf jumped into action immediately.I wasn't gonna wait and do nothing. When my me

He has suffered so much with us over the years while we were building our career."Then she walked up to Alpha Elliott, and crouched down, grabbing his hand as she cried, "Elliott, do you know how much we've suffered these years?
