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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 223

    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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 224

    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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 225

    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.

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 226

    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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 228

    Derek's POV At this critical moment, I was reluctant to trouble Mark, so I tried not to provoke her too much. When I saw Elena, all the complex emotions in my heart eventually boiled down to disappointment. I couldn't understand how the sweet girl from my childhood had transformed into who she was now. "Did you have plastic surgery on your face?" My voice carried a note of disbelief. The girl before me bore no resemblance to Zack. My wolf couldn't sense her presence either. Elena had been away from the Black Thorn Pack for too long, and she could no longer be recognized as a member of the pack. I had too many questions. "Yes," she admitted, showing no reluctance to answer. "Why did you get plastic surgery?" I continued to ask. She avoided any eye contact with me, "There's nothing to say to you. I can't stay here any longer. Leave. Just pretend you never saw me." I stopped her, insisting, "You left the Black Thorn Pack, ignored me as your Alpha, and hurt your Lu

    Derek's POV Elena met my gaze straight on, her eyes reflecting profound fatigue and despair. "Yes, I've had enough of this life, so I escaped, wanting to see the outside world. But back then, I was still naive. I thought everyone else, apart from my mother, was kind..." Then, her voice trailed off. I asked, "Even if your mother hurt you, what grudge do you have against Tabitha? Why did you treat her like that?" "Tabitha." When this name was brought up, Elena's eyes suddenly turned cold. Her emotions surged as she grabbed my collar. "Do you think that I never went to you? However, back then, did you show any concern for me, your childhood sweetheart? You only had her in your mind. I saw you smile at her, dote on her, just like you used to do with me. She smiled so happily..." Tears, which she had fought to hold back, now streamed down her face. Elena cried out, "Do you know what kind of life I have been living all these years? What have I gone through just to see you

    Derek's POV "Derek, why do you think I had plastic surgery and ran away?" The scars on her fair skin were horrific. Almost instinctively, I rolled up her sleeve only to see her arm covered with scars. I persistently lifted the sleeve of her other hand, which was also covered in burn marks and twisted scars. It looked really heartbreaking. "What happened to you?" I asked, my voice trembling with shock and concern. Elena suddenly pulled her hand away from mine, and an uneasy expression appeared on her face. "It has nothing to do with you. Like I said, if you don't kill me, I will leave. Whether I live or die in the future has nothing to do with you." Her words revealed a sense of determination and avoidance. I stood still with complex emotions. I wanted to stop her and ask her what she had gone through all these years, but she ran away without even looking back. I didn't even have time to react. My heart was beating rapidly. What had happened behind those scars

He didn't deserve this end.But Alvin wasn't a healer. All he could do was watch as Derek's breaths grew shallower, his skin paler.The bell tinkled again—Hedwig had followed them here.When they finally stopped, Alvin eased Derek against a gnarled pine, its needles pricking Derek's back like needles of ice."This spot's good," Alvin said, voice cracking. "You'll see the sunrise."Derek nodded weakly. "Good."The mountain wind bit through Derek's coat, but it cleared his head a little."Alvin... my biggest regret was letting Daphne's demands tear Tabitha and me apart. If I hadn't blamed her for Silver Moon Pack's problems... none of this would've happened.""Alpha Derek, you had your reasons," Alvin said, though the words felt hollow."R

After eating the fruit she'd given him, he picked up his pen again.All night, he didn't rest.He could feel the life Hedwig had breathed into him fading. His senses were dulling again.But the will was done. Now, he only wanted to write letters—to Tabitha, to his kids, Kyrian, Helios and Ayla.The poison was moving faster than it should've.

You're gonna be fine, you hear me?!"But at this moment, Derek became calm. "I don't have much time left. It took me a lot of effort to get to this camp. Even if I leave, it would take a day. What's the point of leaving if she comes back right after I go? It's better to stay here. If she doesn't come back in the end, I at least need to settle things, I can't just die without any explanation.""Alpha Derek...""Alvin, go get it," Derek said.Alvin's eyes welled up. "Alright."Alban, with red eyes, said, "I'm sorry, kid. I couldn't help you this time.""Dr. Weaver, I'm already grateful to you. You're right, there are some things beyond our control.

    Third person's POVAlma felt a bit awkward. "I'm not sure about that."After all, Hedwig was Derek's spitting image, but she wasn't certain about Hedwig's father."Regardless, he already has other women by his side. He might have forgotten your mother and could build a future with someone else. Even so, do you still want to save him?"Hedwig pursed her lips and didn't respond. Alma stroked her hair, "Poor child, you should know how hard your mother worked to escape him. If he discovers you two are still alive, he'll imprison her again. Do you want that?"Hedwig shook her head gently."Then pretend you don't know him. Your mother and the others aren't in the village. Whether he survives is up to luck," Alma sighed, "Your mother suffered too much. She was barely alive when she gave birth to you. Cherish the life you have now."Hedwig nodded.Strangely, after Derek drank Hedwig's blood, about half an hour later, his vision and hea

    Third person's POVThe door swung open.Misha stared at Alma with wide eyes, thinking her sincerity had finally moved her.But the next moment, Alma unhesitatingly lifted a basin of water and splashed it over her, drenching her from head to toe. "Stop making a fuss here! Don't try to coerce me with such theatrics. Whether you stay or do something more extreme, it has nothing to do with me. If you're looking for trouble, take it elsewhere, not here!"Misha stood there, stunned. How could Mrs. Atkinson act so unreasonably?"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think this is a soap opera?" Alma sneered, "Now leave before you soil my place."As she spoke, she shielded Hedwig's eyes, "Don't look, or it might ruin your mood."Misha returned, drenched and furious, cursing under her breath, "Why is this old woman so difficult?

Alban's face flushed at her words.It had been decades since he was brought here by his mentor after being poisoned.Back then, he was just a teenager, and Alma, in her early forties, was in her prime, looking much younger than her age.Known for her straightforward nature, she had teased him about his height after treating him. Alban had dutifully drunk milk and played basketball in an effort to grow taller, but his height eventually plateaued at around 5'7", making him appear shorter than his younger counterparts like Alvin."Mrs. Atkinson, you're still the same as ever. It's wonderful to see you again. Could you please help my friend? He's been poisoned with the Nine-Heart Wolfsbane," Alban pleaded.Alma sighed, "You've put me in a difficult spot. The N
