LOGINTabitha's POV
While I was lost in thoughts, Dad's words snapped me back to reality. "What's wrong, Tabitha? If something's bothering you, spill it. Don't keep it to yourself.""Dad, this is just a temporary spot for us. I'm thinking about where we'll live once the babies are born."Honestly, I didn't want anything to do with Derek anymore, but how was I supposed to escape with my twins in tow?And where could I even run to?My wolf paced restlessly in my heart. "The future is so uncertain. I really don't know what to do."Dad sighed, "I heard from Derek that he bought back the assets of the Silver Moon Pack. Why don't we just head back there?""I'll think about it. No rush. It's still early."I picked up the carpentry tools and said, "Dad, teach me. I wanna make something for my kids too.""Sure. let's get started," he beamed before patiently guiding me in carving.I tried to concentrate and followed his steps while my mind was still"This jerk! Does he not see where we are?"Tabitha was clearly annoyed, giving him a scolding look.Derek, however, deliberately licked the fingertip that Tabitha had just touched, and whispered, "That grape was pretty sweet."His move instantly reminded Tabitha of a seductive character from a classic movie. Derek was in a crisp suit, looking completely reserved, yet the action was incredibly provocative!Tabitha couldn't help it. She was biting the grape and some juice accidentally leaked from the corner of her mouth.Seeing this, Derek propped one hand on the sofa armrest, used the other to hook her chin, and leaned in for a kiss.Tabitha's eyes instantly widened. "Seriously? What is he doing?"She was here for revenge, and he was using it as an opportunity for a secret thrill?Was Derek that unrestrained beneath the surface?The kiss was soft and lingering, the sweet grape juice spreading between their lips.Ju
Derek finally remembered he was here under the pretense of visiting Daphne. He finally looked at her.After years, Daphne was noticeably thinner, her complexion sickly pale. She sat in the wheelchair, looking up at him with pitiful eyes.If this were before, Derek might have shown her some compassion for Randall's sake. But remembering all the suffering Tabitha went through, he felt no sympathy. He just asked coldly, "Long time no see. How have you been?""How have I been?"Daphne's life was bleak and miserable, with every day dragging on.But she could only choke back tears and say, word by word, "I... I'm fine.""Alpha Derek, don't worry. I'm taking care of my sister; nothing bad will happen to her," Calvin interjected, successfully drawing Derek's attention.Derek was aware of the recent changes in the Amber's Eye Pack. His memory of Calvin was from childhood—a scrawny, sickly kid. He never expected him to grow up to be the m
Tabitha wanted to cover her ears, listening to the vulgar language coming from inside the room.She saw Daphne covering her face with both hands. Tears streamed silently through her fingers. She kept whispering Derek's name, over and over.What a pair of psychos.Derek arrived quickly. Tabitha had planned to leave and come back another day.She felt it would be weird to run into Derek in this situation.But before she could say goodbye to Alpha Elliott, Derek rushed in with a couple of his people.Years ago, Daphne had done so many terrible things, causing the deaths of Mark and his wife and John. Alpha Elliott was helpless.Since the Amber's Eye Pack was clearly in the wrong, all he could do was let Derek break the engagement.For years, Daphne tried to win Derek back and make up for her mistakes, but Derek had blocked her and was unreachable.Now, getting to see Derek, even briefly, was exciting for both Daphne and Alpha Elliott.If Derek hadn't refused the inheritance, he would hav
Derek immediately hung up.Daphne's sickly face lit up instantly, like a dying person's last surge of energy.Tabitha glanced at Calvin, who intentionally looked away.But the cold glint in his eyes was caught by Tabitha."Looks like Derek isn't the only one who's crazy."Daphne's face was full of joy. She grabbed Alpha Elliott's hand. "Grandpa, did you hear that? Derek is coming to see me! This outfit is too old. I need to wear a new dress."Tabitha took the opportunity to speak up. "Since Miss Sutton is so busy, I'm leaving now."Everyone immediately panicked when they heard Tabitha was leaving."No, no! I worked so hard to find you! You can't leave! My granddaughter's leg depends on you!" Alpha Elliott pleaded anxiously."Yes, Dr. Vanessa, please check her leg first! Miss Sutton, this is Dr. Vanessa, the one I told you about. She's excellent and specializes in multiple fields! She just said she could get you back on y
"Don't worry, treating patients is my job," Tabitha said coolly, methodically cleaning and stitching Daphne's wounds.Without anesthesia, the needle pierced Daphne's wrist repeatedly.Even though Daphne wanted to die, the physical pain was too much. She winced, teeth clenched."Does it hurt?" Tabitha suddenly asked."No kidding! If I stuck you with a needle, would you feel nothing?" Daphne shot back, biting her words.She hadn't had a good life these past few years, but her temper was just as volatile as before.Tabitha lowered her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. This was nothing.That winter, she had dragged her own wounded body to the hospital for stitches, needle by needle. It was far more painful than this.Soon, Tabitha finished treating Daphne's wrist.Seeing Daphne's soaked robe, she ordered, "Find her a clean set of clothes to change into.""Right away. Dr. Vanessa, you've had a long trip. Why don'
Even though Daphne had lost her right to succession, the Amber's Eye Pack still supported her. Her living expenses and quality of life were the same as before.The moment Tabitha entered the estate, a man she didn't know approached her. "You must be Dr. Vanessa? I've heard so much about you. Please, save my sister."Tabitha stopped. She had never seen this man when she was part of the Amber's Eye Pack.Judging by his outfit, he was likely Calvin, the adopted heir from the side branch."I'll do my best," Tabitha replied.Calvin looked delicate, with fair skin. If he wore a vintage suit, he would look like a refined scholar.He seemed clean-cut and not like someone who was plotting anything.Yet, the fact that he was chosen as the heir meant he wasn't simple.Even though Amber's Eye was declining, Alpha Elliott still carried weight. He wasn't to be underestimated.Tabitha hadn't seen Daphne in years. She had no idea what s
