Tabitha's POV

I 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.

    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.

"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

    Derek's POVWhen I received Joanna's phone call, I was sitting in my office.Even though I hadn't swung by to check on Tabitha during this period, I was well-informed about her situation through various channels.Joanna had no idea what I was planning to do.She probably thought I was just being the perfect ex-mate, silently watching Tabitha from a distance like a guardian angel."Alpha Derek, Ms. Hartley wants to go for a prenatal check-up," Joanna's voice came through the phone.There was a pair of wedding rings on my desk. As I listened, I absentmindedly ran my fingers over the big diamond on one of them."Okay, I'll arrange that," I replied, my tone totally neutral.Joanna sighed in relief upon hearing it, "I knew it! Alpha Derek, you're always looking out for Ms. Hartley. I just don't get why she's so wary of you. She didn't even tell you about her pregnancy!"I smirked, hung up the phone, and put the rings back into the box.Th

I'll tell you all about it, but it's just not now. When you fully recover, I promise I'll tell you about it bit by bit. "As soon as Dad heard that, he got all fired up, his hands starting to shake. "I knew it! Something's not right. When I came around, your hand was maimed, and you've been giving Derek the cold shoulder. What on earth happened?"Seeing Dad so emotional, I quickly helped him sit down and said, "Dad, look, this is exactly why I didn't tell you. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that he and I had a fight over some things. Didn't you see him begging me for forgiveness all day? If i

What is it..." I couldn't help clutching the hem of my clothes. I was prepared for the worst.I was a werewolf, and my senses were sharper than human beings. Right at this moment, my worries about my baby were eating me up.To my surprise, the doctor smiled, "Congratulations, Ms. Hartley. You're carrying twins. I saw two fetal hearts."My eyes became teary at once. I asked with caution, my lips trembling, "Then ... are they developing well?""Well, from what I can see, the answer is yes. You've got nothing to worry about."I stroked my lower abdomen and burst into tears of joy.I wasn't having a baby. I was having two!As Joanna pushed the door and entered, she saw the look on my face, and she figured something bad had hap

"Prepare for the surgery."Obadiah grabbed Kamp's hand. "Tell me the truth. What surgery?"Kamp sighed and followed me while saying to Obadiah, "It's been a month. You tell me."Obadiah stood in situ with a confused look on his face.Then he caught up with us and asked me, "Alpha Derek, you love Tabitha a lot, right? Why would you want her to have an abortion? It's twins!"I didn't answer him.He continued, "Obviously, Tabitha has no idea. She discreetly texted me last night, asking me to do her a favor. You really think this is a good idea?

Even if I hadn't met all of them in person, I had at least heard their names.There was no man named Alpha Leopold.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.Maybe Derek deliberately chose someone unfamiliar because he was afraid of being noticed.I couldn't scare myself. Even if I lived in Alpha Leopold's house, it didn't prove anything.But what Gloria said in the next moment made me lose all reason."I said the house was my boss'. Do you remember the day we met? I was holding the bottle of folic acid to chase after you when he said something. He said that he knew you and that you were someone's crush. I was in a hurry to give you the folic acid and changed the topic to talk about work with him when I came back. I completely forgot about this matter."
