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

    Tabitha's POV I kept quiet, not saying a word. It wasn't that I didn't wanna answer him. It was just that I didn't know where to begin. A moment later, Klein spoke again, "You know, everyone might be trapped in darkness sometimes. No matter how dark it gets, as long as you keep moving forward, you'll eventually see the light. "Tabitha, fate's brought us together. I'll be leaving this city soon, but if you ever need anything, you can always call me." "I'm already super grateful for all your help. But there's still no word about your sister, aren't you gonna wait a bit longer?" I wondered. Klein sighed heavily, "No, it's just wasting my time. Honestly, I'm not doing great, and I gotta head back home country for dialysis." Looking at Klein's face, which clearly showed signs of illness, I asked, "Is it kidney failure?" "Yeah," he answered softly. "But don't you have the best doctors there? Can't they cure you?" I asked, puzzled. "Tabitha, they're excellent doctors, true. Maybe t

    Tabitha's POV Derek's eyes were full of obvious doubt. I know he was probably wondering why I would sneak out in the middle of the night and avoid being followed by the pack guards if it was just a hospital visit. But at the same time, I could sense the guilt he had because of what Elena had done to me. That made it tough for him to just straight-up grill me like before. He came up to me, looking at me with an unusually gentle gaze, his tone full of concern. "Why did you go out in the middle of the night and shake off the guards? What if danger pops up? Didn't I tell you? It's dangerous out there and you need them with you wherever you go." I chose not to mention anything about Klein. It seemed like Derek picked up on my reluctance and didn't push it. He seemed worried about ticking me off. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out," I replied casually. Derek unconsciously rubbed his thumb, cautiously asking, "I heard that you got in the car with Klein. Are you close with him?" "Not

    Derek's POV I clearly felt Tabitha's coldness towards me. If it were in the past, I wouldn't think twice about forcefully taking her away. But after I learned the truth, all I wanted was to make it up to her. I couldn't even muster up a cold stare at her, not to mention scolding her. "Tabitha, I know you're feeling upset because of what you've been through lately. Don't worry, I swear I'll get John back soon. He's gonna be fine," I comforted her. Tabitha just turned her back to me, icily snarling, "Is getting him back gonna solve everything? If we don't find the mastermind behind this, he'll just end up in danger again. You promised me you'd make things right. When is it gonna happen?" Had it been before, I could've given her a solid answer. But right now, I was so overwhelmed by feelings of guilt that I couldn't even look her in the eye. How was I gonna tell Tabitha that it was Elena who hurt her and her family? "We can't keep this from her," Leo kept urging me in my mind. I

    Derek's POV Late at night in the car, I had my eyes shut tight, lost in my thoughts, wrestling with a ton of mixed feelings. The truth about Elena was finally out in the open, and since Tabitha was the victim, she technically deserved to know everything. But I had no clue how to drop that bomb. "I can't tell her for the time being. I gotta find out what Elena has been through after she left the pack," I sighed. Alvin shook his head in disapproval. "Alpha Derek, I know I shouldn't say this, but these past two years, Tabitha has gone through hell. I know you feel sorry for Elena, and she's been suffering out there. However, it has nothing to do with Tabitha. And it doesn't justify what she's done. The one who owes Elena an apology is the Black Thorn Pack." I snapped my eyes open and locked gazes with Alvin in the rearview mirror. "So what are you suggesting? Should I just go off and kill Elena to make it right? Even if Elena really died, it wouldn't change anything that's alread

    Mark's POVBut instead of replying me, she just cracked a smile, her eyes gleaming with smugness, making me uneasy."Have you ever considered the possibility that I just faked my death?" I was slack-jawed."Why?" My voice came out raspy. "Why would you do such a thing? Where the hell have you been all these years? Why are you involved with Poison and Wolf Shadow?"Megan chuckled lightly, her fingers grazed my cheek. "You're still as gullible as ever. You never learned, huh?""What do you mean?" I panicked.Megan slowly got up, her gaze became deep. "Mark, do you know how long I've waited for today?" Her words confused me even more."I don't understand what you're saying. Tell me, are you the one behind Daphne's car accident? Why would you do that to her? She's your own flesh and blood!" I was practically roaring, unable to wrap my head around how a mother could treat her daughter this way."Flesh and blood?" she scoffed. "Mark, we did have a pup, but she died a long time ago."My eyes

    Mark's POVI stood face to face with Megan, her words slicing through me, each one a well-aimed jab at my vulnerable core.Her pain and fury were palpable."You don't love me, and I get it, but I always thought time would heal things. I thought one day, you'd eventually fall for me," Megan confessed, her voice a whisper of despair and sorrow."I could've lived with your coldness. I'd raise our girl, make a home, and you'd love her, no doubt," she said, her words a testament to a stubborn hold on the past and a desperate hope for what could be.But then, her tone turned razor-sharp, laced with venom. "But when I watched our girl slowly slip away, I felt nothing but hatred for you. You're so cruel. You'd rather dump all your love on that skank than share a smidgen with me and the kid. So, I swore to make you live with regret, Mark."My chest tightened, a wave of panic washed over me.Her gaze hardened as she continued, "When Holly was pregnant, I lost my baby girl. Why should she live a

    Mark's POVI just couldn't wrap my head around this sudden truth. Anger was swelling inside me like a bomb ready to blow.My wolf inside me howled, desperate to be unleashed, to shred the web of lies that Megan had spun."How could you sink so low?" I bellowed, my teeth clenched so tight they could shatter. My rationality was a thin thread, frayed by the hurricane of my fury."Low? This is just the beginning. I've got a second big surprise lined up for you—just enjoy the show," Megan taunted, her voice a chilling melody of madness. Her smile was a cold blade that pierced my soul."You know how long I've waited for this day? Every night you and Holly were lovey-dovey, I felt like I was being eaten alive!" Her pain pierced through her words, leaving me with this deep sense of helplessness.Suddenly, pain shot through me as Megan kicked me hard in the gut and slipped right out of my grip.I doubled over, clutching my stomach, struggling to stand up. She had backed off a few paces."Mark,

    Tabitha's POVStanding at the door, I witnessed it all, and a wave of indescribable sarcasm surged within me.What a cold, unfeeling family had Holly married into?In this pack, it seemed only Mark held true care for her well-being.She had poured her heart into caring for Justin, yet he didn't appreciate it at all.But the weight of pain bore heaviest on Mark.If Daphne were to sacrifice her life to save Holly, even if Holly survived, she would never forgive Mark.He had embraced Daphne as his own, and the thought of such a sacrifice was definitely a torment that gnawed at his soul.I wondered what choice would he make.But no matter whom he picked, it felt like a loss, dragging him into an endless pit.A young nurse rushed over, her voice urgent. "Mrs. Sutton has awakened. She's asking for you." Mark spun on his heel, following the nurse with haste, and I trailed closely behind.The attending doctor stood sentry at the door, his tone somber.

    Third person's POVTabitha was used to Alvin calling her by name. Hearing him call her "doctor" made her wince."Use a different name," she said."May I know your name, Doctor?""Vanessa."Wait, what?Alvin nearly choked. "You're Vanessa? The all-around physician?"An "all-around physician" was a rarity—doctors usually specialized.But Vanessa wasn't just rare. She was legendary.Alvin had first heard her name last year when she became one of the few surgeons capable of performing interdental artificial cornea surgery.The procedure was so complex it required collaboration across dental, ophthalmological, and radiological fields.Yet Vanessa, a twenty-something newcomer, pulled it off.Media swarmed, patients flocked—but she vanished.Then came a high-risk heart surgery, again under her name.Another worldwide sensation.Reporters chased shadows.

"Who is she?" she demanded."This is the miracle doctor who can save Alpha Derek. Show some respect," Rolf warned, wary of Misha's infamous temper flaring up again.Despite her pride, Misha's love for Derek was genuine.She quickly composed herself. "Of course, Doctor. I entrust my Derek to you," she said, the possessive words slipping out before she could catch them.Rolf's eyebrow twitched. Since when was Derek "hers"?Alma appeared in the doorway. "You're back.""Yes," the woman replied, her tone neutral."Let me introduce everyone. These folks are here for treatment. The young man's poisoned—Nine-Heart Wolfsbane, nearly dead.

"What's Alpha Derek trying to do?" he blubbered."Let him have this one last moment of freedom," Alvin said, holding Rolf back.The mountain wind chilled their tears, but Derek couldn't feel it anymore.His knees shook with every movement, each step draining what little strength he had left.Still, he didn't give up, gritting his teeth and forcing one foot in front of the other.The child stood bathed in sunlight—just a few steps away, and he could hold her.What should've been a quick stride took dozens of seconds, maybe longer.Hedwig stood with her back to him, pigeons swirling around her.

    Third person's POVWhy did it have to be Derek?Alvin's fists tightened as he stared at the horizon. Derek had lived with a clear conscience—except for Tabitha. 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. Every letter cost him energy, accelerating the venom's grip.First, he wrote to Kyrian. "Be a good man. Lead the pack with your heart, not just your claws."Derek's chest ached. He'd failed Kyrian, leaving him to shoulder the pack's weight alone.But love? That never faded.Next, his mother.The letter was short—"Take care of Kyrian. If Tabitha ev

    Third person's POVAt the mention of the word "will," Rolf's face, which had been tense for days, crumpled. His eyes instantly reddened."Alpha Derek, you don't need a will! 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

"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? She didn't have to help, but did she have to throw urine at me?"Rolf pinched his nose and stepped back

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
