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 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. When you're a little older, we'll live together, alri

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

Third person's POVThe car slowly emerged from the underground garage, breaking through the darkness into the open air.The streets were adorned with mistletoe trees, people bustling about in preparation for Christmas."It's been years since we celebrated together," Derek said suddenly, his voice tinged with nostalgia."Yeah." 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. After what felt like hours, they reached a remote valley deep in the mountains. Even their p

Third person's POVTabitha had been his most promising student. As a freshman, she'd become his assistant, shadowing him in clinics and even observing surgeries.He had placed his highest hopes in her, demanding perfection during her training.To him, Tabitha was a once-in-a-generation talent—he was merely her starting point, not her ceiling.Dr. Fairbanks had been both a mentor and father figure to her. And she had let him down."Is Dr. Fairbanks… doing alright?" Tabitha asked quietly.Alban's voice turned cold. "No. He says he once had a student who made him proud—until she threw away her future for a man."Tears welled up in Tabitha's eyes.She still remembered the day she submitted her withdrawal letter. Dr. Fairbanks rushed to the school, still wearing his surgical scrubs with a scalpel clutched in his hand.At first, he thought something catastrophic had happened—had her family gone bankrup
