Tabitha's POV

As the silence stretched, even the air around us felt like it was frozen solid.

Derek suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "Tabitha, what if I told you I never betrayed you? What would you think?"

"Never betrayed me?" I scoffed, my eyes filled with doubts and distrust. "Then what about Kyrian? He's like a mini version of you. You wanna claim he's just some mud doll Daphne made based on your looks?"

Actually, he's..."

Just as he was about to spill some explanation, an exclusive ringtone cut him off. The one that belonged to Daphne.

It used to be the most terrifying sound to me, for whenever it rang, Derek would drop everything and rush to that bitch.

I shot him a look full of sarcasm. "Why aren't you answering? What are you worried about? I'm no longer your Luna now. I don't give a damn if you wanna pick it up."

Derek dismissed the call and once again held my hand, saying earnestly, "Tabitha, listen, this is important. I kept it a se

    Tabitha's POVA shooting star?This was a rare sight in Seattle. I had longed for it since I was a child, staying up late countless nights because of it, but I'd never actually seen one.But today, out of nowhere, here it was, catching me off guard. I didn't even have time to think of a wish.By the time I snapped back to reality, I had instinctively put my hands together, a single thought flashing in my mind: I hope Kyrian would be alright.When I opened my eyes, I saw a blinding silver flash. Meteors were streaking across the sky, leaving those long tails, breathtakingly beautiful.I was actually watching a meteor shower. It was too good to be true.My hatred toward Derek instantly vanished. At this moment, all I cared about was the baby in my womb.I made two wishes: one for Kyrian to be safe, and the other for my baby to be born healthy.As a werewolf, I had an indescribable awe for nature and the universe. Who knew? Perhaps those sho

    Derek's POVAfter receiving treatment for some time, Daphne was finally out of the woods and getting better.Unfortunately, her legs were so severely injured, and the chances of her standing up again were slim.When I walked in with Kyrian in my arms, she was lying in bed, looking pale and kinda worn out. "Derek, is he alright?""Fortunately, it's not too serious. He just took a nasty fall and got knocked out for a bit with a mild concussion. Nothing major," I replied.Daphne breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch Kyrian's cheek. "Sweetheart, you gotta be more careful."However, as soon as she extended her hand, Kyrian buried his face in my arms.I quickly make up an excuse, "He got scared. You should focus on resting."She looked at me, pleading, "Derek... Can't you spend some time with me?""I'm sorry, but he needs to go to sleep now," I replied, but in fact, I was thinking about Tabitha.With that, I left without looki

    Derek's POVKyrian burst into tears right after he heard what I said. He shouted non-stop, "Mommy! I ... want ... Mommy..."Kyrian was always well-behaved. He rarely cried.Yet he'd always cry sadly when it came to Tabitha.I sighed helplessly, "Fine. One last time. But we have to leave after we see her, OK?"He didn't understand what I meant, but he'd agree with anything I said as long as he could see Tabitha. He nodded obediently with tears on his face.I reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes as well as his drool. "Let's go."The yellow lights in the inflatable tent shone like stars.Kyrian had already gone to sleep normally, but now, he wasn't sleepy at all. His eyes were bright and shining.Before I walked there, he slipped out of my arms and ran on his short legs toward the tent.Tabitha's POVI sat on the carpet and looked up at the night sky, counting the stars that were not so common.Wer

    Tabitha's POVI opened my mouth and wanted to tell Kyrian he was wrong. But then I decided not to. After all, he was just a kid, and the complexities of emotions and identity were simply too much for him to understand.Besides, I just wanted to see him grow up safe and happy. I wanted nothing else.Soon, Kyrian closed his eyes, rested his head in my arms, and fell into a deep sleep while snoring. I could even see bright saliva on the corner of his mouth.I reached out, gently wiped his drool, and looked at him tenderly.I couldn't help but wonder if my baby would look like Kyrian.After all, they were both Derek's children."Tabitha." Derek's voice rang out in the quiet night, sounding a bit hoarse and deep, breaking the peace.My face turned cold as I remained silent, waiting for what he was about to say.Derek cleared his throat, seemingly pondering his wording. "Kyrian really likes you, and I know you like him, too. You can think of hi

    Tabitha's POVI used to think that Derek's indifference was the most chilling attitude he had towards me.It was only now that I found his affectionate frighten me much more than his direct attacks.I had a suspicion, but I didn't dare to say out loud that I was pregnant."Derek, I won't love you. Never," I said resolutely, trying to maintain my resolve in front of him.Derek, however, didn't care. He simply responded calmly, "Tabitha, there's a long road ahead of us." The inexplicable confidence in his tone sent shivers down my spine.Instead of arguing with him, I chose to curl up obediently. I didn't dare to push him too far.It was totally pointless trying to reason with a madman. I might actually make things worse.All I could do now was to lay low and wait for an opportunity until Dad recovered.I'd try my best to live as long as I could after I gave birth.I closed my eyes. Seeing that, Derek gently tucked me in.He leane

    Tabitha's POVMy dreams were always about a kid.There was a time when I dreamed every night of a beautiful field of flowers, and a kid with a garland in his hand was coming toward me.With a smile, he put it on my head.The dream was so real that I could still feel the gentle touch of the garland when I woke up.I stopped frowning. "Thank you, sweetie.""Mommy, pretty." Kyrian was so happy that he kept grinning.Looking at his smile, I felt an inexplicable warmth and familiarity as if he really was my boy.He was just a little boy, yet he was already so caring. I bet plenty of women would fall for him in the future.I gently pecked his cheek while cupping his face and once again sighed silently, wishing he were my kid.I patted his knee to remove some of the weeds and dirt.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Derek standing far away on the hillside.He didn't come nearer. Maybe he was worried that if he came over, it would

    Tabitha's POVI felt a shiver run through my body as I looked at Derek, somewhat puzzled."What do you mean?" I asked, a sense of foreboding welling up inside me.Derek let out a heavy sigh, sounding all serious as he replied, "What happened last night wasn't an accident. Someone pushed Kyrian down a really high staircase."Shocked by the news, I asked, "Who would do such a thing?""Right now, we don't have enough clues to nail it down. From the build, it doesn't seem like an ordinary person, possibly a professional hitman. That's why I need to get Kyrian and Reid to a safe spot."His words sent chills down my spine.I asked tentatively, "Does this have anything to do with Poison and Wolf Shadow?"As a werewolf, I had a natural sensitivity to these hidden forces."I don't think so. Poison and Wolf Shadow is an organization well-versed in the field of medicine. Their method of killing is mostly through drugs, just like with ... Holly. But

    Tabitha's POVDad and I left Rose Manor even before dawn. I had no clue where we would be taken.After a long journey, we finally arrived. This place wasn't one of Derek's properties.Instead, it seemed like a chill hideaway tucked away in the city.Obviously, Derek sent us to a place like this to protect us so that we wouldn't be tracked down.The house combined the unique style of Seattle with the beauty of nature and the sophistication of modern architecture.Dad seemed satisfied with it, saying it reminded him of his packhouse back in the Silver Moon Pack.Even though it was way more contemporary, it had a comforting vibe that made us feel at ease.Surprisingly, Dad managed to start walking without the help of a cane.I hurriedly went forward to support him. "Dad, be careful."He smiled with contentment, saying, "Tabitha, I feel so much better.""Well, Dad, no need to rush. Take your time," I comforted him softly, feeling su

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.

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.

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

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. I guess this is just my fate."In just two days, Derek had gone from a healthy man to someone whose organ

    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
