Tabitha'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

    Derek's POVThe salesperson, perhaps noticing I was standing there for quite some time, spoke up, "Alpha Derek, do you like this wedding dress? It may not fit Miss Sutton perfectly, but she can try it on. There is still some time before the wedding, and we can make adjustments according to her measurements ASAP."I shook my head and left decisively.I owed Tabitha way more than just a wedding or a dress.I doubted I would ever be able to repay what I owed her in this lifetime.After I changed into the tuxedo selected by Daphne, the salesperson squatted beside me to straighten my trousers, showering me with compliments."Alpha Derek, you are truly handsome, elegant, and dashing. Your wedding with Miss Sutton will definitely garner worldwide attention."I had worn formal attire many times before, but it was the first time for me to wear a wedding tuxedo. However, it wasn't for marrying the love of my life.I kept a straight face, not feeling the

    Tabitha's POVMy days in the secluded house were simple and peaceful.I was busy carving wood when Joanna suddenly shut off her phone, looking super pissed while mumbling under her breath."What's got you all grumpy over there?" I shot her a glance.She hurriedly looked up, replying, "Nothing! Just don't check your phone these days. It's all a bunch of trash news."I chuckled, "Are you referring to the news about his wedding?""You heard about it already?""The whole internet was abuzz with it, so yeah."Joanna carefully studied my expression. "So you're not angry? Last month, when Alpha Derek postponed the wedding, I thought he was doing it for you.""Angry? Why would I? Being angry means I still love him. Love will make me get insecure, jealous, paranoid, possessive, and even lose my mind. Why should I do that?"Plus, we've already rejected each other. Even though he's my second chance mate, I don't wanna accept him."I put do

    Tabitha's POVI stood at the entrance of Hope Ranch, and a flood of emotions surged through my heart.Though Hope Ranch had been redeemed, I found it disgusting and have never been back because it was once owned by Derek and Daphne.I walked in and saw the hydrangeas blooming in a vibrant array of colors, flourishing beautifully without any apparent pruning.Some roses climbed up and around the fence.A gust of wind made the flowers sway gracefully in the breeze.Although the scene was stunning, I couldn't bring myself to step forward."Tabitha, please go in. Alpha Derek is waiting for you," Rolf urged.I felt like just as the saying went, "The closer you get to a place familiar to you, the more restless you become."I hadn't pushed the door yet when I heard a sound and a white dog running towards me.Tucker, who had been brought back by Derek, circled around my feet.Curious about what Derek might be up to before his grand wedd

    Tabitha's POVI was tightly embraced by Derek and found that there were several tall and handsome men standing behind him.Among them were the elegant Carson, Alpha Leopold, and a man wearing a half-mask that concealed his face but exuded an air of cold indifference.He might be the Beta Gelman Stout from the Grey Stone Pack that Derek had mentioned before.Kamp and the photographer, Alpha Obadiah, were both smiling.I swallowed all the words I wanted to say. Even though I was dissatisfied with Derek, I didn't want to make a scene in front of so many people.Besides making things awkward for Derek, it would also be embarrassing for me.Gloria, dressed in a white gown, emerged from the crowd with a complex expression on her face.It was clear that, like me, she had only just grasped what was happening.I lowered my voice and said, "What are you doing?"Derek supported me and said, "Tabitha, I owe you a wedding."Instead of feelin

    Tabitha's POVI somehow walked in.I remember that this place was used as a guest room for entertaining visitors at Hope Ranch.Now, it had been transformed into a large space, with one half painted a soft pink and the other half a gentle sky blue.The floor was covered in a plush, long-haired carpet, and the ceiling was painted with clouds.When the door closed, the lights suddenly went out. Yet, countless stars appeared overhead, softly glowing, with occasional streaks of shooting stars.Some lights in the room emitted a gentle glow, and the air was filled with the soothing music of a music box.Cradles, rocking horses, various toys, and a wide array of clothes for babies from newborn to one-year-old were neatly arranged.Nearby, there was also a special corner for children to play, featuring tall castles, slides, and swings.Derek thought of almost everything related to babies.This room was even more perfect than the one I had de

    Tabitha's POVDerek also dialed it down a bit.He asked, "So Elena isn't the murderer? Who is Lillian? If that's the case, does it make things a bit easier between us?""In your dreams. There are far more problems between us," I replied coldly.Then I continued, "Lillian was Elena's substitute. She died for Elena."A few days ago, I tentatively asked Dad about Lillian. She was not the simple victim we imagined."I explained the whole thing in detail.Derek's frown deepened as if he was recalling what had been amiss that night.He said, "That day, I was supposed to meet Carson and the others, but Carson had something come up and couldn't make it. I didn't like the atmosphere there, so I found an excuse to leave. When I was walking out, I felt so hot and only then did I realize that I had been drugged. Afterward, I asked Alvin to investigate, but there were too many people that night and we couldn't find anything. So the incident goes unresolved

    Derek's POVTabitha insisted, so I did not refuse."It's a bit far away. You can take a rest first," I told her.Tabitha had a stern face and said, "No need. I'm not sleepy."Ten minutes later, she fell asleep and her head was banging against the car window.I felt helpless. I didn't think I was dangerous, but why did she sit against the window?I reached out my long arm and took her into my arms.Tabitha opened her eyes and glanced at me, wanting to struggle, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness and was asleep again.These days, she got drowsy easily and slept a lot.I quietly held her in my arms. So much had happened in the past two or three years, and I hadn't had a peaceful moment with Tabitha like this in a long time.I prayed time would slow down for us.The car went up the mountain, and it was dark outside. Tabitha slowly woke up from her sleep.As soon as she found herself leaning on my chest, Tabitha moved away.

    Tabitha's POVWhat happened in the forest?Obviously, Elena didn't just decide to bail on a whim. Someone must have approached her.I was quite anxious, but I didn't dare to run out and chase after her. I was pregnant now, so it was safer for me to stay here.Did Derek get shot?Just as that thought crossed my mind, with a loud bang, a bullet zipped through the darkness, grazing past my cheek and embedding itself straight into the wardrobe behind me.Startled, I completely froze, not daring to move an inch.Just then, I saw a man on the hillside not far away. Since he wasn't using a sniper rifle, his range was limited, which gave me the chance to make out his silhouette pretty clearly.The man was tall and slender, with a mask on his face, revealing only his eyes.When his gaze met mine, I called out his name immediately. "Lucian?"He didn't reply, just giving me one last intense look before turning around and disappearing into the w

    Third person's POVDerek's face contorted with pain as he continued, "After Tabitha faked her death, I suspected what had happened. I was torn at the time, wanting to bring her back, but I also understood that doing so would only repeat past mistakes. So, I protected her within my control and waited silently. Gloria, I swear, I won't hurt her again."A hint of pleading appeared on Derek's face as he went on, "I'm asking for your help not out of selfishness. Tabitha's illness isn't fully healed, her body hasn't recovered, and with two children in tow, she wouldn't be able to protect herself if danger arises."Gloria had never seen Derek so humble.She remembered how Derek had always approached her with a condescending attitude four years ago.Derek continued, "You are Tabitha's friend, and your starting point should be considering her safety, right? If I wanted to harm her, I could just bring her back directly, so why would I go through the trouble

    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

    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
