I suddenly came up with a new strategy. I was all set to continually upset Derek.He restricted my freedom? Well then. I might as well be a pain in the ass for him."Instead of picking out a dress, maybe I should think about which wheelchair will work better for Daphne. Of course, I have to be thoroughly prepared. If she doesn't recover well enough to sit up, we may have to get her a stretcher," I sarcastically said, secretly pleased.Derek fell silent. He showed no displeasure in the face of my sarcasm at all. Instead, he looked at me with distress in his eyes.I could tell how he felt, but I no longer cared."Tabitha, does saying this make you happy? Really?" he asked softly.I sneered, "Of course. You all used to make me endure the pain and suffer. I get it now. I'm much happier when I let someone else suffer."He did not argue. He simply said, "As long as you are happy."His attitude surprised me, but I didn't get soft-h

Tabitha's POVGloria gently patted my shoulder, her tone full of empathy. "Dear, I feel for you. We all used to be young and naive, thinking love was everything. But we've grown up, right? Look at me. My life is so much better now that I'm making my own money." We smiled at each other. As we reminisced about those sentimental old days, we were in a much better mood.She licked her lips and smiled at me, "Tabitha, I want an apple. Could you peel one for me?"She then continued to reminisce, "I remember when we first met, you didn't even know how to peel an apple. That time we went to visit our teacher, you peeled the apple core out, and we laughed at how 'wasteful' you were. Later, for Derek, you..."She stopped suddenly as I held out my right hand, my palm hanging limp.The ward fell silent for a second. Then she grabbed my hand, her eyes instantly turning red. "Who did this to you?""It's a long story..." I tried not to bring it up, but Gloria's concer

Tabitha's POVGloria sniffed and looked at me blankly."Good news is," I whispered, gently placing my hand on my belly. As I looked down, a feeling of tenderness surged within me."I'm pregnant," I went on.The moment I finished speaking, Gloria was so stunned that she almost choked. "What?"She just sat there in silence, her mouth gaping open. After quite a while, she finally got her voice back. "And what's the bad news?""Derek is the father," I confessed.Gloria widened her eyes in disbelief. Obviously, she needed time to process this wild truth.After taking a minute to calm herself, she asked, "So, he chooses to marry Daphne while you're pregnant? Is he insane? Why does he have to marry her?"I shook my head. "He doesn't know I'm pregnant. To be specific, he didn't even remember we had sex," I calmly added."What? Then how did you get pregnant? IVF?" Gloria blinked, looking puzzled. "He may have good looks, but he's not the only

Tabitha's POVWith Gloria covering my back, I nervously steered into the ultrasound room.On the surface, it looked like I accompanied her for the examination, but in reality, it was me lying on the bed, unbuttoning my clothes.The female doctor was very gentle. While checking on the baby, she reassured us, "Don't worry, the baby is in safe hands."Gloria chuckled from the side, "I owe Alpha Obadiah one more favor now."I felt grateful knowing how much effort she put into helping me.As the cold probe slid over my lower abdomen, I felt both nervous and anxious.I hadn't been very well for the past six months, and I even underwent a treatment six months ago. I was kinda worried that might have an impact on the baby."Doctor, how is my baby?" I asked, anxiety creeping in.The doctor chuckled and replied, "At this early stage, it's hard to tell much, but from what I can see now, the gestational sac is of normal size, and there is no sign of

Leopold's POVIf these words were coming from Gloria, I'd probably think she was just spouting nonsense.After all, she always did such things, and I could hardly believe her.But when Tabitha stood there with her refined elegance and charm, every word she spoke sounded so credible.She was completely different from Gloria. She was a well-educated lady while Gloria...Well, I'd just keep that thought to myself."Ms. Hartley, you are flattering me. I've heard Gloria mention you before, too. Finally, I have the honor to meet you today. Your elegance and virtuousness really stand out," I smiled.Then I teased Gloria, "It's hard to imagine how you became friends with such a rude woman like Gloria."Gloria glared at me, seemingly displeased with my backhanded compliment.I then walked up to Tabitha and extended my hand, saying, "My name is Leopold Sowell. Nice to meet you."Tabitha shot me an embarrassed glance."Alpha Leopold, I'm s

Tabitha's POVGloria came rushing over, breathing heavily, and shoved the folic acid into my hands. "Don't forget to put this into the vitamin bottle."I gratefully accepted it, feeling touched by her thoughtfulness. "Thanks," I murmured."C'mon, we're BFF. You better deliver a healthy baby." She patted my shoulder, her voice bubbling with excitement for the new life on the way.I nodded, yet suddenly felt a bit worried. "Did anyone see it?" I asked."Chill, I'm quick on my feet. This packaging is colorful and misleading. Alpha Leopold hasn't even found his mate yet. I guess he has no idea what this is," she confidently replied.I didn't have much of an impression of that guy, so I guessed he didn't know Derek. Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief."Good. Don't always work overtime. Remember to have some rest," I reminded her."Sure, you gotta take good care of yourself too. Once I'm on break, I'll swing by to see you. If you need anything, ju

Derek's POVTabitha instinctively rested her hand on her belly, but then she quickly pulled it back, as if fearing that I would notice something.She had no idea that this move just made it all the more suspicious.As an Alpha, my observation skills were sharper than most, especially when it came to my mate, even though she was my ex-mate.I walked closer to her, sensing her nerves.I could tell her heartbeat was racing and her breath hitched, as these were the physiological responses she couldn't hide.When my hand brushed her back, she tensed up like a deer caught in headlights."Something's off with her emotions," Leo chimed in my mind.As my wolf, he was always able to perceive subtle emotional changes.But even without his reminder, I could feel Tabitha wasn't her usual self.After all, we were once mates, and such a profound connection couldn't be easily severed."What are you doing?" Tabitha shot out, her voice dripping w

Derek's POVI threw in a bit of Alpha aura in my words.Joanna's knees buckled, and she dropped to the floor with a thud. "Yes, Alpha Derek, I'll tell you everything!" Her reaction caught me off guard. I hadn't even started putting any real pressure on her yet."Speak," I ordered sharply."I felt it was a pity to throw away the trimmed roses from the garden, so I sold them for 2 dollars each in the evening. I didn't mean to do it, I've been strapped for cash and my grandma's sick. I'm sorry, Alpha Derek, I won't do it again."Joanna confessed incoherently, tears streaming down her face.I frowned, surprised that she actually confessed so soon.But this trivial matter wasn't what I really wanted to know. "Is that all you want to say?"My tone revealed obvious impatience.Joanna wiped away her tears, adding, "No, there's more. I have to confess. Last time when I was trimming, my hands were shaking, and I accidentally cut the heart-shaped on

Derek's POVJoanna shot me a weird look, as if she was puzzled.I knew why she was feeling that way. My concern for Tabitha these days was evident to everyone.Even though I was about to marry Daphne, my care for Tabitha was genuine, and everyone in Rose Manor could tell.But here I was, totally clueless about how she was handling her pregnancy.Joanna wasn't a long-standing member of the Black Thorn Pack.So she didn't really know the history between me and Tabitha."I heard Ms. Hartley say that she had no idea what she was doing with her first pregnancy. She had morning sickness for three months and the fetus seemed to be in a bit unstable condition. In the early stages of pregnancy, she had to get shots to keep the baby safe every day. My mom had to do that too, and it hurt like hell."Joanna's words hit me like a punch in the gut. I had never thought that Tabitha would go through such pain."However, Ms. Hartley was really excited abo

Third person's POVThe two children were a blend of their parents. The girl resembled Derek, while the boy took after Tabitha, which was quite different from their brother, Kyrian.Derek thought to himself that if Kyrian knew he had two younger siblings, he would be thrilled.But when he considered his relationship with Tabitha, he sighed deeply, filled with regret for his past actions.At that moment, Alvin approached swiftly and reported, "Just received news from the island. Noah is taking Ayla away, and Lucian's direction also leads to the island. He plans to take Tabitha away."Derek, with his hands behind his back and a furrowed brow, spoke with a melancholic expression, "Lucian intends to take more than just Ayla—Tabitha as well. She has always sought opportunities to leave me, and this presents her with an excellent chance.""What should we do? Should we stop him now? Otherwise, with his capabilities, if he truly takes Tabitha a

Third person's POVPlans... Tabitha's original goal had been to find her two children and Jasper.The children were found, but Jasper was without a trace.However, she couldn't search aimlessly without a target.Thinking of Derek's anxious appearance last night, it was clear he still had feelings for her.Gloria's text warning Tabitha to be careful of Derek came to Tabitha's mind again.Tabitha felt she had overlooked some subtle details. What exactly had she missed?It seemed a key point was missing, and once found, it would connect all the events."I don't know. I just wanted to find the children, but I didn't expect to court death. And Derek's attitude towards me is ambiguous. Outside this cabin, I don't know what awaits me," Tabitha said, her face full of entanglement.Seeing her struggle, Lucian took a big gulp of mineral water and mustered the courage to say, "Have you severed ties with him?"Tabitha nodded,

Third person's POVDerek had painstakingly built up Tabitha's trust by posing as Wilmot.He knew that if she ever discovered his true identity, her anger would be immense, and the trust he had spent half a year constructing would crumble entirely.Derek continued, "Send someone to discreetly protect her without revealing themselves. Ayla is still on the island. Tabitha will go to see her."Rolf nodded in agreement, "Understood."Derek added with caution, "Remember, Lucian has a strong ability to detect surveillance, so do not get too close."Rolf responded, "Yes, Alpha Derek. We will handle it immediately."Turning to Alvin, Derek instructed, "Investigate the identities of those deceased men thoroughly."Derek pondered whether Tabitha's survival had been leaked, perhaps when she was seen on the boat.The assailants had been ruthless, and if not for Lucian's timely arrival, Tabitha could have been in grave danger. He had

Third person's POVForrest's voice was laced with worry, "Ms. Hartley, where are you now?"Tabitha had already settled her wages with Forrest before sending the children to the island. She couldn't fathom why he would contact her at this juncture.She couldn't help but feel puzzled.Tabitha inquired, "What's wrong?"Forrest replied, "Wilmot's had an accident. You need to come see him."Tabitha was still trying to make sense of Derek's appearance at the bar when she heard about Wilmot's predicament, and her heart immediately filled with worry.She quickly asked, "What happened to him?"Forrest explained, "Wilmot was already ill recently, and he drank a lot tonight. He's suffered from alcohol poisoning and has been taken to the hospital. He keeps asking to see you, Ms. Hartley. Where are you? Can you come to see him?"Tabitha thought to herself that even if she knew her current location, she couldn't just tell anyone.

Third person's POVTwo more gunshots rang out, the shooter's aim dead on as two more men fell to the ground.Tabitha saw a tall figure standing deep in the alley, shrouded in a cloak, making it impossible to discern who it was.Tabitha's mind raced with questions. Was he a friend or foe?The man removed his hat, revealing the distinctive totem mask beneath.Tabitha stared in disbelief and uttered, "Lucian, why are you here?""Long story. Come with me," Lucian said, grabbing Tabitha's hand and leading her away.They didn't get far before Tabitha glanced back to see Derek and Leopold rushing out of a bar together.Surprise washed over Tabitha. How could Derek be here?Her blood seemed to freeze. 'When did he return?'Lucian pulled Tabitha into a dilapidated black car that passed right in front of Derek.Leaning against the car window, Tabitha gazed at Derek, lost in thought.'If Leopold had arranged to

Third person's POVLeopold carefully compared the photos. Although the person in the photos was dressed differently and had a different appearance, the body shape and the action of holding things with the left hand were identical.Derek became alert, thinking to himself, "People like us are more sensitive than ordinary people. Such photos wouldn't catch the attention of most, but I've noticed something.""Where's the negative?" Derek asked."I'll have it sent over right away," Leopold replied."And Tabitha?" Derek inquired again."Don't worry, she followed me to the bar. She's in the lobby outside. I have my bodyguards keeping an eye on her," Leopold said.Tabitha had been following Leopold for several days, and Derek, concerned about his own people being exposed, asked Leopold's men to watch her.She maintained a simple daily routine without any issues.However, the photos now revealed to Derek that someone was tracking
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 712
The next day, Tabitha began to investigate Leopold's movements meticulously.For several days, she did not dare to slack off. Gloria, who had recently suffered a miscarriage, had been recuperating in Leopold's home, not venturing out.A tight-lipped woman handled the daily tasks of shopping, cooking, and cleaning.Despite Tabitha's attempts to get close to her, she couldn't extract any information.As a week passed, it had been half a month since Gloria's miscarriage, and by her nature, she should soon be able to go out.On the sixth day of tracking Leopold, he called Derek out for drinks.He rubbed his temple, looking troubled, "Your mate, doesn't she think she's disguising herself well?"With that, Leopold threw out a stack of photos, all of which were taken while Tabitha was following him.Tabitha's curious little head appeared adorable in the photos."Or do you think I'm so idle that I play house with her every day?"

Third person's POVAlpha Leopold took out a sapphire necklace from his pocket and placed it around Gloria's neck, his face instantly returning to that tender expression."Look, it suits you so well. Don't worry, whoever harmed our child will never see the sun again. Be good, take care of yourself, and don't think about anything else," he said.Gloria's face was devoid of any color, her back already soaked with cold sweat, chilling her. Cold sweat also beaded on her forehead, trickling down her cheeks.Her body trembled, filled with fear and despair, unsure of how to face this mad and cruel man.As a mother who had experienced the pain of losing a child twice, Tabitha was heartbroken and worried when she learned about what had happened to Gloria.Given Gloria's character, if her relationship with Leopold was normal, she would have informed Tabitha even if she had lost the child.Her silence largely indicated that her relationship with
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 710
Third person's POVAt this moment, Gloria finally understood the difficult situation Tabitha had faced before—the helplessness and confusion, as if she were trapped in a dark abyss, unable to find even a glimmer of hope.What puzzled her was that Alpha Leopold must have known about Tabitha's return to the States. Given his relationship with Derek, he couldn't possibly not inform him.If Derek had learned that Tabitha was alive, it should have been a momentous occasion for him. How could he allow Tabitha to drift alone outside?Could it be that he had truly come to terms with it and decided to let go completely?However, Gloria preferred to believe in the saying, "A leopard can't change its spots."She felt that even if Derek seemed inactive now, it was highly likely that he was secretly plotting a larger scheme, merely the calm before the storm.After hanging up the phone, Tabitha's eyes flashed with
