Tabitha's POV

His voice rang out all of a sudden, like a bucket of cold water splashing towards me, instantly waking me up.

I turned my head and looked at Derek, whose appearance startled me.

Blood from Elena still smeared my face, and I knew I must look like a stranger to him now.

Derek looked at me, his eyes filled with shock. "Tabitha, you knew?"

I stared into his eyes without the slightest intention of looking away. Then I sneered, "Surprised, aren't you? While you were busy trying to figure out how to calm me down, I had already taken action. Derek, you said you'd handle this, remember? Well, I've already dealt with her."

I looked at him and continued coldly, "You handle it yourself? Or shall I?"

Elena's body bore five wounds, and her white dress was stained red with blood, making her look even more fragile and delicate.

Derek tried to soothe me. He said, "Tabitha, please, just calm down. Let's talk this through. Don't act on impulse."

I sneered, "Calm down? What about all the su

Derek needs to rot in h*ll and keep both Elena and Daphne by his side, afterall he cares more about them just because of their connection to his dead beta. Absolutely ridiculous! I hope Tabitha still gets her revenge. I'm regretting reading this story if she ends up with Derek at the end.

    Derek's POVI fixed my eyes Elena, who was barely hanging on in my arms.Even though she was seriously injured, she had this smug grin on her face, like she just won a major battle."Derek, I won," she whispered, and then she just passed out in my hold.My wolf Leo howled in my mind, "Fool! Look at the mess you've made!"Leo's blame was like a knife slicing right into my soul.I murmured to myself, 'I think I might've lost Tabitha for good.'How could I be such a jerk to pull the trigger?'I personally pushed her away. That bullet shattered everything between us...'I left Elena to Alvin and walked to the edge of the cliff.Klein and Jasper hurried onto the speedboat, and thanks to my keen hearing, I could hear their conversation loud and clear.Jasper freaked out when he saw Tabitha injured, frantically dealing with her wounds while Klein just sighed, looking defeated."Tabitha, your wrist!"

    Tabitha's POVI was already seriously ill, and the bullet put me in a more severe condition. My high fever lasted the whole night.I felt like I was drowning in the vast ocean, struggling to stay afloat, mumbling to myself in a blur."Mom, I'm so cold. Please don't leave me."Don't leave me behind, my pup! Take me with you."It hurts like hell to live in this world."Ouch..."My wolf instinctively wanted to take over so as to alleviate my pain, but we were too weak that we could barely muster that strength.Sometimes, when I was conscious, I caught Jasper looking at me with red eyes, worry written all over his face."Tabitha, I'll keep you safe, I swear," he whispered, his voice filled with determination.After being in a coma for a whole day, I finally came around.My wrist had been bandaged, white gauze wrapping tight around it. Yet it couldn't prevent pain from the slightest movements.It wasn't a nightmare. Derek did shoot me."Tabitha, you woke up," exclaimed Jasper, with palpabl

    Derek's POVAfter pausing for a while, I piped up again, "What did you say? Kidney transplant?"My voice echoed in the hospital corridor."Yeah, why would Ms. Hartley go through all these tests if she didn't wanna be his donor?" the nurse replied while watching me with confusion, as if not understanding my reaction."Alpha Derek, we've got excellent organ transplant doctors here, and it's tough to get a donor. So tell them to hurry..."Before she could even finish, I dashed out of the hospital.It finally dawned on me why Klein came to Tabitha's rescue—she'd agreed to be his donor if she was a match!Being a werewolf, I knew how crucial a healthy kidney was for us.Losing one wasn't fatal, but Tabitha would be less strong and healthy.She was so young. How could I bear to let her make such a sacrifice?"Alpha Derek, Tabitha's no longer in Seattle, and Klein's MIA too. We can't track them down for now," said Alvin. I furrowed my brows, feeling deeply worried."Alpha Derek, you should r

Then he patiently soothed me, "Tabitha, don't worry. Derek avoided the vital areas. Maybe your hand will heal in time. You shouldn't give up hope."I scoffed, a bitter laugh escaping my lips. "So you're saying I should be thankful that he showed mercy?"I looked at my useless wrist and added in a cold voice, "My biggest regret is not being able to kill Elena. That damn psycho!"I realized that there was something wrong with Elena when I saw her reaction to pain. Even in extreme agony, she bit her lip hard, refusing to make a single sound."Tabitha, Elena is in poor health, and

    Tabitha's POVKlein's reassurance gradually calmed my nerves. Time ticked by in my anticipation.When the OR door finally opened, I almost ran up to it."Jasper, how did it go?" I asked, feeling a mix of hope and jitters.Jasper took off his gloves and mask and let out a sigh of relief. "Tabitha, rest assured, the surgery was successful. John's gonna come around today." This news filled me with an indescribable sense of relief and gratitude.I had been living in constant fear, perhaps due to all those schemes and intrigues. Luckily, the Moon Goddess finally had my back this time.Dad, as if hearing my prayer, came to before long.The moment his eyes opened, I felt like I was in some wild dream.I stammered, my lips quivering, "D-dad, you finally came around."He looked at me with a gentle gaze, mumbling, "T-Tabby."Jasper explained, "John's brain nerves are damaged, so he'll experience temporary mobility difficulties and slurred speech. To fix them, he's gonna need a bunch of rehabili

    Tabitha's POVI knew that Klein was unwilling to accept my kidney, but a twist of fate made our kidneys match.His advanced kidney failure left him with no choice but to rely on dialysis just to stay alive.As the family's heir, he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. So, despite his reluctance, he had to get that transplant done ASAP.Klein looked at me, a hint of empathy in his eyes. "Tabitha, if you wanna back out, I won't blame you. I can find another donor."I shook my head and replied firmly, "Klein, I've made up my mind."We weren't related by blood, but he helped me again and again. The only way I could repay him was to give him my kidney.My hands were already disabled, and I was suffering from a serious illness. I probably didn't have much time left.Being able to help Klein before my time ran out gave me a strange sense of comfort.I reassured him, "You don't have to worry about anything.

    Derek's POVI led a group of elite shifters and landed on this deserted island.Blood was pumping through my veins like crazy, and I had only one thought in my mind: "I gotta find Tabitha and stop her from donating her kidney!"The island wasn't huge, and my crew had been through countless fights.Thus, before long, we tracked down the OR.I kicked the door open, and there was Tabitha with a fresh cut on her wrist. But fortunately, it wasn't too deep. So I wasn't so late after all.So I wasn't so late after all."How dare you!" I roared, my eyes ablaze with rage.Alvin and the other shifters charged into the room, their voices steady as rocks. "Drop the scalpel!"Tabitha glared at me, her eyes filled with hatred. "What the hell are you doing here?"I fumbled to stop her bleeding while answering, "To stop you from making a dumb mistake!"As her mate, I could feel her pain as if it was my own. So I grimaced, too.Soon, I care

"John, I'm sorry for being such a jerk. I was so busy with work that I failed to take care of you and Tabitha."I felt the heat from his palm, but it didn't bring me any comfort.Sure enough, Derek caged me again.He brought me back to Rose Manor, the place where he planted a rose garden just to impress me.I hadn't been here in two years, and the garden had totally overgrown.All kinds of roses swayed in the evening breeze as if mocking my past ignorance.Derek piped up, "Tabitha, from now on, you and Jo

Our people can't fire to stop them, and with one in the sky and one at sea, it's easy to run into danger."Derek hadn't planned to stop Tabitha, so he could only watch helplessly as Lucian docked the boat on a small island."This island is covered in dense forests, making it unsuitable for helicopter landings," noted Derek, who then ordered, "Use rope ladders to ascend the trees, and keep another helicopter on standby. Lucian must be prepared."As soon as Lucian reached the shore, he quickly took the two children from Tabitha's arms and urged, "Come on, follow me!"Tabitha and Gloria followed Lucian into a pre-dug tunnel."Even though they can't find us for now, we can't hide forever. Once they surround the island, we'll be trapped," said Tabitha.Wiping sweat from his forehead, Lucian whispered, "If my gue

    Third person's POVAyla suddenly reached out and removed Lucian's mask, giving him a light kiss on the cheek, "Lucian..."This was the first time Tabitha saw Lucian's face. She had expected some birthmark or scar, but his face was clean, with sharp features and striking good looks.Oddly, Tabitha felt he resembled Derek a bit.Lucian quickly put his mask back on and said, "Let's go, to avoid further trouble."Tabitha snapped out of her daze, thinking it must have been the poor night light, and held Gloria's hand as they boarded the speedboat.Unbeknownst to her, the island had numerous cameras and small, insect-like HD capture devices hidden in trees and bushes, which could move flexibly and transmit Tabitha's and the children's movements to Derek.Derek had already received information about Tabitha and Gloria's planned escape.Now, Derek watched the fleeing figures on the screen.Alvin asked worriedly, "Alpha Derek, ar

Last night didn't satisfy you?" Alpha Leopold teased with a smile.Gloria wondered how such a refined face could utter such words.After being with Leopold for so long, she knew he was different from Derek, who was rule-abiding and secretly passionate.When Leopold was in the mood, he could even place his hand on her thigh under the table while discussing business."Will you miss me?" Gloria asked suddenly.Leopold thought she was just being affectionate and stroked her nose. "I'll miss you the most at night," he said.His answer was never what she wanted to hear.Gloria smiled and said, "Then I won't miss you. It's too tiring."Leopold was about to say something else

She couldn't blame others, only herself for breaking the rules.Talking about money yet falling in love was like cheating in a card game."Why are you looking at me like that? If you think the money is insufficient, I can add more.""It's already quite a lot."Gloria suddenly smiled and sat on Leopold's lap, hugging his neck as usual.She was more certain than ever that leaving was the best way to end this relationship.Before that, she mustn't let Leopold sense her intentions.Gloria's eyes flickered with coquettishness as she said in a soft voice, "Triple the amount, and I want it now.""Little money-grubber." Leopold gave her a light peck on the nose and took out his phone to transfer the mone

Let's go in and talk."Gloria nodded to indicate the direction. Leopold led her into the room."Exactly what do you want... mmm..."The moment the door closed, Leopold closed in, his thin lips accurately capturing Gloria's. "I've missed you," he said.Gloria was stunned. She had expected Leopold to have some important business.Lately, she had been reviewing the contracts she handled, worried there might be issues that prompted his long journey.But the moment Leopold kissed her, she thought, 'Is this man crazy?'"Let go of me!"She pushed him away with great effort.Although some time had passed since her miscarriage and her body had mostly recovered, it didn't mean the pain in her heart had healed.What on earth did this man want, being so

    Third person's POVGloria shrugged and grumbled, "That joke isn't funny at all, Tabitha. What do we do now? He's here. Our plan…"Before she could finish, Leopold's voice cut in from behind. "What plan? Gloria, what are you scheming behind my back?"Gloria's heart sank. "Almost blew it."Tabitha, ever calm, set down her tools, removed her surgical gown, and stepped out of the room."Nothing major. Who knows what Gloria's talking about—maybe stabbing you in your sleep or weakening you with wolfsbane. She comes up with a hundred wild ideas a day."Gloria exhaled in relief, shooting Tabitha a grateful glance. 'Thank the stars for you.'Their personalities balanced each other—Tabitha steady and composed, Gloria fiery and impulsive.Leopold chuckled lightly. "How mischievous. You're the sensible one, Luna Tabitha."Tabitha replied flatly, "You should know by now, Alpha Leopold, we've rejected that dynamic. The title doesn't suit.""My mistake, Miss Hartley."Leopold now understood Derek a

    Third person's POVGloria had been in an exceptionally good mood these past two days. She practically floated as she walked, even skipping and greeting the grass by the roadside.Perhaps her joy had irked Leopold, because on the evening of the third day, he suddenly appeared.At the time, Gloria was playing hide-and-seek with the children.When she heard the sound of a helicopter overhead, she didn't think much of it.Over the past few days, she'd learned the routine. Every ten days or so, a boat would leave the island to restock supplies. She assumed it was the servants returning and didn't pay it any mind.She had a blindfold over her eyes and was standing under a tree, counting, "Eight, nine, ten... Are you little ones hiding yet? The big bad wolf is coming to catch the little bunnies!"Since there weren't many people to play with, she usually roped in a few servants to join the game.She took two steps and bumped into someo

    Third person's POVDerek didn't mock Leopold's current arrogance because he knew fate was fair. What was meant to happen would happen.Moreover, Derek had noticed that Leopold's feelings for Gloria were special—far more than just a casual lover, despite what he claimed.It didn't matter. Love had a way of humbling even the most stubborn people.As Leopold spoke, he glanced at the surveillance footage again. Gloria was sitting by the sea, staring at the ocean, her emotions much calmer than before.It seemed Derek's suggestion had been right. Gloria needed the company of friends and children to heal her inner wounds."My family situation isn't great right now. Let her stay on the island for three months, and then I'll bring her back."The incident with Gloria's miscarriage had infuriated Leopold. He'd acted impulsively for her sake, and her former fiancé was still in intensive care.The other family was also wealthy

    Third person's POVDerek hadn't expected Kyrian to react so strongly. He'd only wanted Tabitha to know about Kyrian's existence, but he'd overlooked the fact that Kyrian was no longer a clueless toddler like his younger siblings.At this age, children understood everything and had developed their own complex emotions."I'm sorry."Derek carried Kyrian step by step back to the house. Kyrian was wrapped tightly in the military coat, while Derek was left exposed to the snow and wind.Although Kyrian had spent more time with Derek growing up, Derek had been chasing after Tabitha these past two years, and Kyrian rarely got to see his father.When Kyrian saw Derek covered in snow, his crying gradually subsided.He wasn't the only one hurting. Derek must have been suffering too.Kyrian sniffled softly, and Derek looked into his eyes, speaking earnestly, "I promise you, one day I'll bring Mom back, okay?"Kyrian's nose was red f
