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 POV Leaving home, I drove to the Amber's Eye Pack. As soon as I walked into the packhouse, I saw Mark. I guessed he was here for Daphne as well. He was already devastated because of Holly, and now he looked extremely worn out after what happened to Daphne. Seeing him like that, I felt bad for him. I comforted, "Mark, cheer up. I'm sure Daphne's alive, or they wouldn't have made such a big fuss to take her away." Mark sighed, "Even if she's alive, I'm afraid she's barely hanging in there..." Justin slammed the table abruptly. "Who on earth could be so bold? Laying hands on her in public!" I knew the pack's development meant the world to Justin. He actually valued Daphne, hisonly heir, a lot. "The current proof shows it's Poison and Wolf Shadow," I said calmly. Justin's expression changed drastically as he roared with anger, "No fucking way!" He seemed a bit too agitated, which was kinda weird. I tur
Tabitha's POV After Kyrian finished eating, I carried him to the bathroom for a bath. Sitting in the bathtub, he kept splashing the water on me, grinning from ear to ear. I joked, "You bad boy. If you splash me again, I'll splash you back!" Just then, the bathroom door opened. I turned to see Derek standing in the doorway, and I barely had time to wipe that smile off my face. Unlike me, Kyrian's eyes lit up when he saw Derek. He sweetly called out, "Daddy!" Kyrian's smile could make one forget all the unhappy things. Derek walked over, reaching out and stroking his head. "Good boy." I glanced at Derek, whose usually gloomy and indifferent face was now filled with warmth. Turned out he adored Kyrian this much. But his smile kinda stung my eyes. I guess he'd forgotten about the baby he lost—the one that never even saw the world. I put down the towel and said in a cold tone, "Help him with the bath. I'll go change.
Tabitha's POV The moment I hung up the phone, I was buzzing with excitement. I felt so lucky. Just as I thought I had reached a dead end, suddenly, a new clue came up. I asked Chloe to look after Kyrian. She glanced at the time and asked, "Tabitha, where are you off to at this hour?" "I've gotta handle something urgent," I replied. "But Alpha Derek said that you better not go out tonight," she reminded me. I explained it to her briefly. Seeing I was determined to leave, she had to let me go. The bodyguards wanted to rush up and stop me, but I had already gotten into Klein's car. I glanced in the rearview mirror at the cars tailing behind us and asked, my face solemn, "Klein, can you shake them off?" For some reason, I didn't want Derek to know that I was looking into this. I just wanted to throw the evidence in his face when I figured everything out. "Of course. Sit tight," replied Klein. Klein was no ordi
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.
