Tabitha's POV
It was the man I took to the hospital the other day. I was in a hurry to get to the cemetery back then, so I left before he came around."Are you feeling better now?" I asked.He was dressed in a well-ironed navy suit, his shirt spotless and wrinkle-free, a dazzling sapphire ring on his finger. His face still looked a bit pale, though.I could sense there was something extraordinary about him.He didn't reply, just staring at me with a look of disbelief.Then it dawned on me that I hadn't even told him who I was. He didn't get to see my face that day, so he, of course, wouldn't recognize me.I introduced myself, trying to jog his memory, "I'm the one who got you to the hospital when you passed out that day."He snapped back to reality and murmured, "You look just like—""What?""Nothing. Thank you so much. Are you available now? I'd like to treat you to lunch to express my gratitude."I waved my hand. "Nah, iTabitha's POV Just then, my phone buzzed. It was Mark calling. 'Did he get a lead about my family?' I wondered. With that thought, I cut Klein off, "Sorry. I gotta take this." "Mark, what's up?" I asked after picking up the phone. "It's Holly. She's rushed to the ER," he replied, sounding anxious. Dumbfounded, I blurted out, "I'll be right there." Then I hung up the phone and turned to Klein. "Sorry. Something urgent came up. I gotta go." When I returned to the hospital, I found Mark standing by the ER door, his face ashen. Feeling worried, I immediately asked him, "What happened? Before I left, she seemed good. She even told me she wanted to have Canneles. How did she end up in the ER?" Mark looked at the bags in my hands and said in a broken voice, "S-she suddenly started to vomit blood." I quickly put the bags on the chair and took Mark's rough, callused hand. He always looked so tough, yet now, his hands were shaki
Tabitha's POV Rolf replied, "Alright, let me take you back home first. You've had a rough night." Since I couldn't get into the ICU, I'd have to head back for now. If it was Elena's doing as well, it threw a real wrench in my earlier thoughts. Elena was clearly after me. So why would she hurt Holly? Just when the truth was about to be out, I got confused again. I sighed deeply, not knowing what to do. Thinking of Holly, who was barely hanging in there, I shook my head, a wave of sadness washing over me. When I pushed open the door, I was slack-jawed. "Derek?" I exclaimed. Hearing my voice, he turned around, a spatula in his hand. "Welcome home," he said. He turned off the stove and came over, pulling me into a hug. "I've heard everything. Sorry for what happened to Holly. Come on, I made you roast turkey today." I melted into his familiar embrace. I wasn't sure if it was because I was just wiped out or if Derek's hug was just too warm, but I didn't pull away, just staying
Tabitha's POV I heard Derek going upstairs. So, I quickly finished my shower, put on a bathrobe, and walked out. As I pushed open the door, I saw Derek holding a wooden tray. On the tray were sliced roasted turkey and potatoes. Derek averted his gaze imperceptibly, his Adam's apple rolling slightly. "The roasted turkey is ready. Give it a go. See if it still tastes the same." It was such a long morning, and I hadn't had a chance to eat. So my stomach was rumbling. Mark took me away from the island in a hurry, and I didn't get to bring my meds. It'd cover a whole month, and I had been taking it for half a month. During those 15 days, my wound had never hurt or gotten worse. Jasper repeatedly reminded me that I had to take it on time every day. But ever since I came back, I hadn't been able to reach him. Now that I didn't have my meds, my wound had started to hurt again. So, for the sake of my health, I decided to at least fill my stomach. "Thanks," I said. I a
Third person's POVDaphne hung up, and all her anxiety was replaced by glee!Derek finally agreed to marry her!It was what she'd been yearning for for so long.She shook off her gloom. After changing her clothes and putting on some makeup, she decided to go out.Just as she was stepping out, her phone rang, and she whined sweetly, "I did what you asked me to do. She'll die soon. Can I leave tomorrow? I have an important appointment later.""No! Don't forget that your blood matches hers. If anyone finds out, she may be saved. I'll send someone to pick you up. Hide for three days, and she'll be done for! I promise!"Daphne felt a bit annoyed. "Fine. I'll leave after the meal."After that, she ended the call, thinking that staying for a while longer would be fine.Sitting in the car while watching the scenery zoom by, Daphne couldn't help thinking of Holly's face.She thought, 'I hate that woman's guts. Now she's finally about to die,
Tabitha's POV At the cafe. I arrived early, and I was a bit nervous after learning about Klein's identity. After all, what the Silver Moon Pack used to own was just a medium-sized local company. Apex Wulfen International, however, was an internationally renowned enterprise, and he basically spent every day meeting top officials or industry leaders. So when Klein pushed the door open and came in, I quickly stood up and said, "Hello." The previous times we met, I was in a hurry. But this time, I took a good look at Klein, and he felt really approachable. "Ms. Hartley, relax. Please sit." We sat across from each other, and I clasped my hands, my voice trembling a little as I said, "Sorry, but can I ask you a favor?" "Of course, Ms. Hartley. You saved my life. Whatever you want, you can just say it." Seeing his serious face, I guessed he meant it when he said so, or he would have taken out money to brush me off already. "The cl
Tabitha's POV Upon hearing what Klein said, somehow, I thought of my own situation. If I hadn't fallen in love with Derek then, and if I hadn't become his Luna, would things be different for me now? I sincerely said, "Choosing a mate needs serious consideration. One might fall from heaven to hell if one ends up with the wrong guy." "Exactly. All we want is for her to mate with someone who's really nice to her, and no matter how we think about it, he just doesn't fit the criteria," sighed Klein. I had roughly guessed what had happened, so I kept quiet. Klein frowned tightly as if recalling some bad memories. He continued, "For the past six months, she's been fighting with us because that guy got in her head, thinking we wanted to marry her off just to solidify our family's status. But why would we do that? I mean, we're not in any kind of financial crisis. "And even if an arranged marriage is needed, she has four elder brothers. We'll b
Tabitha's POV I was dumbfounded. The organization was divided, and I didn't know whose side the rogues would take. "After a heated dispute between the two sides, some of them took away certain extreme scholars and re-established Poison and Wolf Shadow, which has started to do things very differently. Later, they became out of control. They have turned more and more extreme and treated life as nothing." I exclaimed, "I had no idea." "But as far as I know, they've always been sneaking around here, because once anyone notices them, the entire organization will be eradicated. So, only a very small subset of the organization is here. And they haven't been here long enough to root deeply, so you don't have to worry too much." Klein raised his hand and then paused. Noticing that, I looked at him curiously. He put his hand down. "Don't be afraid. I'll help you," he said gently with a smile. We chatted for a while longer. Then Rolf walked
Tabitha's POV "Mommy! Mommy..." Kyrian ran up to me in a few steps and put his arms around my leg. His chubby little face was filled with joy. "Baby, I missed you so much." I hugged him and kissed him again and again. Only then did I see a boy standing next to Chloe, and he was staring at me timidly. Oh, that was right. Daphne gave birth to twins. Though they were both Derek's boys, Kyrian looked more like Derek. Reid, on the other hand, resembled Daphne. I walked up to him with Kyrian in my arms, crouched down in front of him, and extended my hand politely. The next second, Reid slapped the back of my hand. The crisp sound in the room was nothing but clear. Guessed except for the boys' faces, their personalities were also nothing alike. Reid's eyes were filled with hostility towards me. Chloe hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Hartley. Reid is reserved, and he doesn't like it when strangers approach hi
Derek's POVI rushed over to Tabitha at once and prevented her from falling down.But I couldn't stop the blood from pouring out of her mouth.Leo howled frantically in my mind.He seemed to sense Tabitha's weakness.Everyone in the banquet hall was in a panic, rushing around anxiously. "Doctor! Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
Third person's POVThe ongoing drama was no longer the center of attention. Instead, the woman at the door caught everyone's eye.The expressions of Alpha Elliott and Andrea changed drastically.How did Daphne manage to be here?They had already taken measures, not giving Daphne a chance to come near Tabitha.Who helped Daphne?
Tabitha's POVPhoebe was still trying to defend herself, but her voice was so weak in the face of solid evidence.She could only tell Ambrose over and over again how much she loved him.Ambrose held her hand, a hint of disgust appearing in his eyes for the first time. "Stop talking. Let's just go."No matter what kind of person Phoebe really was, what she did today was against everything Ambrose thought she was and also embarrassed him.
Ambrose's POVI frowned as I recalled. Back then, I was swamped with work every day.Phoebe would always come to me for money every few days.She used all kinds of excuses, such as her father getting sick, her mother losing her job to take care of her father, or something happening to her younger brother.She claimed that her father was in the intensive care unit, which alone would cost a huge amount of money in just one day, not to mention all the various expenses.
Third person's POVAmbrose turned around and looked at Phoebe, saying in confusion, "Aren't you the one who kept insisting on leaving?"Phoebe's expression froze for a second, and then she immediately burst into tears, saying with a grievance, "Do you think I want to stay here? I just can't bear to leave Zander behind. 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? I know I co
Third person's POVPhoebe was gagged, and she stared at Derek with wide eyes.Obviously, she found it hard to believe. After all, she was an elder!"Phoebe!" Ambrose quickly pulled the towel out of her mouth.Phoebe instinctively was about to continue crying, yet Derek's cold gaze silenced her at once. She then pointed at Zander on the ground and said, "Save Zander first."Ambrose knew that it
Third person's POVTabitha was already suffering from excruciating pain. And then she was aggravated and verbally insulted by Zander, which made her so pissed off.Derek's hug made her feel like an abandoned puppy finally seeing its owner.She reached out and hugged him, saying, feeling utterly aggrieved, "Finally, you're back."Derek gently caressed her face. Though she had makeup on her face, he could tell at a glance that something was off with her expression.
Third person's POVAt that moment, a group of people clad in suits and polished leather shoes made a sudden appearance at the entrance, swiftly drawing the crowd's gaze.Rolf and Alvin had noticeable cuts on their faces, but they stood behind Derek with solemn expressions and respectful attitudes.Derek stood tall and imposing, a fresh scar marring his brow, yet it did nothing to soften his icy demeanor. His commanding presence was as intense as a force of nature, crashing over like a tidal wave.
Third person's POVZander never expected that someone would actually record this scene and expose it without any regard for the prestige of the Greenwood family.Orson's recording ripped off his fig leaf right on the spot.The dreams of all the hopeful young ladies present were shattered. This seemingly virtuous man turned out to be such a beast behind the scenes.Andrea couldn't hold back anymore. Her short temper flared up instantly.
