Tabitha's POV

I followed Klein closely, both of us wearing masks that matched the mysterious atmosphere of the castle.

Klein swapped out his usual blue sapphire ring for an opal one.

The change, though small, seemed to presage an unusual evening.

Entering the gate, I heard the sound of a piano from the top floor just as two crows swooped past.

The rose vines looked enchanting and mystical in the dim light. A gust of wind blew, and though it was almost summer, I suddenly had goosebumps crawling up my back.

Klein deliberately lowered his voice. "Don't be afraid. Just stay close to me. Don't do or say anything later."

I nodded. After all, seeing Elena was the only goal I came here today.

Just as we entered the hall, the piano sound ceased abruptly.

The whole place felt like it went into silent mode.

Two people came towards us, their footsteps hurried and disordered.

As they got closer, I recognized them right away, even

    Tabitha's POV I stood outside the door, my heart pounding as I waited to see Elena's face. Crystal, feeling my mood, was restless in my mind. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. But I still unconsciously clenched the folds of my shirt. Before, I was out in the open while Elena was pulling all the strings from the shadows. And now, our positions were reversed, and she didn't even know I was here. How could I not be excited when the truth was just around the corner? As the door slowly opened, a woman in a white dress walked in. She was tall and slender, with a mask on her face, and her exposed skin looked smooth and fair. I was dying to see the face hidden behind this mask. Her legs looked normal. Presumably, she deliberately disguised herself as a janitor with a leg problem and darkened her face to stay under the radar. The wind swirled around her dress. If I hadn't known she was Elena, I would think she wa

    Tabitha's POV In this dimly lit room, I scrutinized Elena's face. For countless times, I had pictured in my mind what this woman would look like—envisioning a fierce countenance, perhaps even marred by a twisted expression. However, the fact in front of me was telling a different story. I once saw the photos of Zack, the former Beta of the Black Thorn Pack, when he was young. She inherited Zack's perfect features and yet she looked more delicate. Her face mirrored her father's, especially in the captivating depth of her eyes. She had delicate facial features and long hair, making her look exceptionally pure. Anyone who didn't know her past would think that she was still in college. At this moment, the mystery in my mind finally unraveled. I was right. The culprit was no one else but Elena! Thinking about the Silver Moon Pack, John, and all the pain I had endured in the past two years, I felt rage surging within me.

    Mark's POV On the top floor, the air was filled with the fragrance of roses. They were in full bloom as if hosting a party that only I could perceive. I stepped onto the ground covered with petals, my gaze drawn to a woman sitting in front of a black piano. As the son of Justin, the Alpha of the Amber's Eye Pack, I inherited the sharp senses of the werewolves. Yet, amidst the floral aroma, I detected something extraordinary. She wore a black evening gown adorned with rose patterns along the hem, blending seamlessly with the blossoms around her. The gown bestowed upon her an air of elegance and enigma. Her skin emitted a radiant glow in the dim light, pulling me in without me even realizing it. As her soft fingertips landed on the last note on the piano keys, the music abruptly stopped, and silence took over the space. She didn't turn around, so I broke the silence. "Madam, as per your request, I'm here." My voice echoed on the ro

    Mark's POV I repressed my anger, fully aware that those from Poison and Wolf Shadow were all ruthless. I couldn't afford to provoke her. Seeing the woman move to make room for me, I sat beside her. I was so anxious, but I had to stay calm. I knew how to play the piano, but nothing beyond following a score and playing a clumsy piece. With the woman's lead, I put my hands on the piano keys left untouched for a long time. They began to produce sounds. I played slowly, and each note sounded so uncertain. After finally finishing the piece, I asked again with urgency, "Did you kidnap my daughter?" My eyes locked onto her, searching for answers in her reaction. The woman gave a little chuckle, and it echoed through the empty top floor, with a touch of eeriness. "I remember you came looking for a cure. Your mate is still in the ICU, right?" Her words stung me. "Do you have a way to save her?" I asked almost instinctively, des

    Tabitha's POV From Elena's reaction, I could tell she must've thought Klein came to punish her. So after Klein allowed her to leave, she looked quite surprised. I knew that Daphne might also be in this castle, so I told Klein I wanted to stay. Albert soon came in, his voice calm and polite as he said, "Please follow me. Your room's ready." He arranged for us to stay in a suite. After making sure that there was no bug in the room, Klein asked, "What do you want to know?" I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "So you've known her for a long time?" "Yes, I saved her before," replied Klein in a low voice. "But when I found her back then, she was in pretty rough shape. Most of her body was burned, including 40% of her face. So at first, I wasn't sure if she was the one you were looking for." I was taken aback. "No wonder her voice sounds a bit strange." "Besides the burn, she had many scars on her body too," Klein continued, w

    Tabitha's POV I saw the helplessness and despair in Daphne's eyes. "Tabitha," she began, her voice weak and shaky, "in fact, it's all Madam Rose's schemes." I gripped her hand tight, trying to push her on, "Who's Madam Rose? What the hell happened?" Daphne took a deep breath, like she was digging for some courage. "She's my mom—no. I should call her Megan now. She's been pulling all the strings." I stood there, listening carefully as she narrated the whole story, every word hitting my heart like a ton of bricks. When she finished, I couldn't help snapping, "So you knew your blood could save Mom, yet you denied it and watched her suffer? And even die? "Even if you didn't know she was your biological mother, you should've treated her like that! You have enjoyed her motherly love for so many years. How can you be so ungrateful?" My voice echoed in the room, filled with anger and disappointment. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

    Tabitha's POV When I tiptoed to the corridor, a man suddenly silenced me and pulled me to the terrace. The faint scent of incense told me it was Klein. Though I wasn't too surprised, I was still curious about what he was going to do. His sharp gaze directed me to look down. Down? I followed his direction and saw two figures on the lawn below from the terrace of the second floor. Even though one of them had their back turned, my keen senses immediately recognized Derek. He was holding a slender woman in a white dress by her wrist. What was he doing with Elena? Derek's goal was to eliminate Poison and Wolf Shadow in one fell swoop. So he knew Elena didn't die a long time ago but he didn't tell me? This thought sent a chill down my spine, but I quickly shook my head. He loved me, and no way would he lie to me about such a grave matter. This must have been some kind of coincidence; perhaps he had just discovered the truth.

    Tabitha's POV I turned around and walked away, unable to endure their conversation any longer. Every moment spent there felt like a personal insult. My wolf growled deeply within me, echoing my pain and anger. "We have to go, Tabitha." Its sound echoed in my mind, carrying a subtle and imperceptible sadness. How ridiculous my love for Derek now seemed. Despite the misery Elena caused me and the Silver Moon Pack, Derek still spoke of her as the gentle one. My wolf whispered again, "Perhaps it was the Moon Goddess' mistake." I recalled the wolfsbane potion nearly injected into my body that night. I was almost about to die that day. Downstairs, Derek's every breath made me sick. He had professed his love and promised explanations, yet in reality, he was erasing evidence, preventing me from discovering the truth. Was this what he called love? My heart was filled with bitterness. As I left, I picked up a stone from the edge of the terrace. For a moment, I wante

    Third person's POVAs soon as Tabitha stepped out of the house, the biting winter wind hit her face like a knife, stinging her skin.Just as Derek had said, everything had been arranged."Tabitha, the helicopter is ready. You can leave now.""Thank you.""However, the helipad is a bit far. You'll need to walk there.""That's fine," Tabitha waved it off.Wrapped in a thick down jacket, she buried her face in the hood. She felt as though someone was watching her, but she didn't dare look back.She was afraid that if she turned around, she wouldn't be able to leave. In her heart, she kept repeating, Don't look back. Just keep walking.Behind the curtains, Derek held Kyrian, who was crying silently. Kyrian reached out toward the empty air, as if trying to grab the hem of Tabitha's coat."Dad, I don't want Mom to leave. Will she abandon me?""No, she loves you. How could she abandon you?

    Third person's POVThough he was just a child and didn't fully understand what had happened between Tabitha and Derek, he knew one thing—he loved Tabitha and wanted her to be happy."If this makes you happy, I don't mind. I'm just scared... scared you'll leave me," Kyrian said, his voice trembling slightly."Silly boy, didn't I tell you? You and your siblings are my most precious treasures. I love you so much, and I'll visit you often," Tabitha said gently.Then, she noticed the cord around Kyrian's neck and gently pulled it out. It was the small lock she'd designed for him years ago."I made this for you. It's engraved with my hopes for you, 'May you grow up happy and healthy every day.'"Kyrian reached out his hand. "Mom, you can't lie to me. You have to come see me again."Their fingers hooked together in a pinky promise, and Tabitha smiled softly."Okay, I promise.

    Third person's POVIn such a short time, Kyrian had already figured out his place in Tabitha's heart. He knew exactly where her soft spots were and used his natural childlike tears as a "weapon" to try to keep her from leaving.Though this might not make Tabitha happy, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him.What parent could say no to a child crying for candy?Especially when that child was the one she owed so much to, the one she wanted to give the entire world to.But he didn't want the world. He just wanted Tabitha to stay."I..." Tabitha started to speak, but Kyrian cut her off."Mom, I love you so much, and you love me, and my siblings too. I already don't have a complete family. Do you want my siblings to grow up without a dad, only imagining what he looks like, envying other kids' happy families? Mom, haven't you heard? A happy, complete childhood can heal a person for life, but an incomplete one takes a lifetime to heal."

    Third person's POV"Back then was back then. Now is now. But I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll always love you," Tabitha said softly, gently stroking Kyrian's head. Her hand brushed through his soft fur, the warmth of a mother's love flowing through her touch.Kyrian's voice was small, tinged with hope. "Mom, can you spare a little love for Dad? He's actually kind of pitiful."His eyes showed sympathy for Derek. In his heart, both his parents were his greatest loves, and he longed for a complete family."There are plenty of people in this world who love your dad. He doesn't need mine," Tabitha replied, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness. Despite her lingering feelings for Derek, the pain of the past made it hard for her to forgive."But to Dad, you're like oxygen to a fish. A fish can't live without oxygen," Kyrian said, snuggling closer to Tabitha.He pressed his body against hers, as if clinging to her love would make it st

    Third person's POVKyrian obediently climbed over and was immediately pulled into Tabitha's embrace.From here, they could see the beautiful scenery outside. Kyrian realized that the training grounds looked completely different from this angle—probably because his mother was by his side.Tabitha smiled softly, her voice warm. "I chose your name. You were born with all my love.""Mom, you must have loved Dad a lot back then," Kyrian said, looking up with curious eyes."Yes, very much," Tabitha admitted honestly. "No matter how I feel about your dad now, you are my precious child, born after seven months of carrying you. Your dad took you away, and I didn't even know you existed. That's why I missed so many years of your life. But you need to know, I thought about you every single day. There wasn't a moment when I didn't miss you or wonder about you. I love you more than anyone in the world."Kyrian's mood brightened, a happy smile sprea

    Third person's POVKyrian watched nervously as Tabitha cleaned and dressed his wounds.He didn't dare breathe too loudly, his eyes glued to her every move. His gaze was filled with dependence and longing.Every now and then, he'd glance quickly at Derek, his eyes questioning, desperate for reassurance that this wasn't a dream."Dad, is Mom really back?" His voice trembled, carrying the fragility and hope unique to a child.Derek reached out and gently tapped his nose. "Silly boy, she's really here."Kyrian's tense body relaxed slightly, and a shy smile crept onto his face.When Tabitha applied the ointment a little too firmly, he winced but stayed silent.His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was afraid that if he cried out in pain, Tabitha might leave.In his heart, he thought, As long as Mom stays, this pain is nothing.Kyrian had always been well-behaved, but n

    Third person's POVAzazel was furious.To be honest, he hadn't planned to take things this far with Kyrian.He showed Kyrian some respect, but deep down, he knew most of the children here were orphans with no one to rely on.He'd been provoking Kyrian because he refused to fall in line. After all this time, Kyrian still wouldn't listen to him.Azazel had wanted to teach him a lesson and assert his dominance in front of the others.But Kyrian was tougher than he'd expected. Instead of backing down, he even fought back with a fierce determination that burned in his eyes.What's wrong with him? Why won't he give up?"You're dead, brat," Azazel snarled, raising his fist to deliver a crushing blow to Kyrian's head."Stop!"Kyrian closed his eyes, bracing for the impact his small body couldn't possibly withstand. But the blow never came.A hand shot out, gripping Azazel's wrist.Everyone turned to see Tabitha, breathless from running.Thankfully, she'd made it in time.What she didn't know

    Third person's POVKyrian had barely taken a few bites when a tall boy walked over and flipped his tray onto the floor, sneering, "Go on, eat that."Tabitha's fists clenched in anger. "How can they bully him like this? He's already struggling!"Derek held her back. "Tabitha, don't act rashly. This place isn't just about physical training for him."Tabitha frowned. "Then what else is he here for?"Derek explained, "For people like us, growing up means training alongside peers who'll become your most trusted allies—like Alvin and Rolf. These are the people who'd take a bullet for you on the battlefield. If Kyrian grows up sheltered, handed a team of strangers, do you think they'd truly respect or protect him? One wrong move, and he could end up dead."Tabitha's anger began to fade. "What are you saying?"Derek's tone grew serious. "He's not just training his body. He's learning to lead, to earn the loyalty of these kids. They'll b

In those days when survival was all that mattered, Tabitha hadn't had the luxury of thinking about holidays."It's the last day of the year. Where are you taking me?" Tabitha glanced at Derek."You'll see."The car wound its way out of the city, into the countryside. Snowflakes danced in the air, painting the world in white.The road grew steeper, the landscape wilder. Soon, there were no buildings in sight—just endless trees and snow.Tabitha gripped the armrest as the car jolted over uneven terrain.
