Third person's POV

As Tabitha had expected, Daphne indeed couldn't sleep, not out of excitement, but out of anger.

Just a short while ago, her people followed Derek's car to a villa, which wasn't the property of the Black Thorn Pack. Given the large number of werewolf guards outside, it was obvious that Tabitha was holed up in there.

Daphne couldn't believe that on the eve of their wedding, her groom actually went to his ex-mate's place.

Rage simmered inside her, almost driving her crazy.

'Tabitha, don't blame me for this. You crossed the line first!' Daphne thought to herself.

It seemed that nobody slept well tonight. Even though Tabitha didn't want Derek in her room, he stubbornly sat by her bedside all night long.

The moonlight spilled over him like a soft glow, and in that dim light, Tabitha saw his bandaged hand. Yet she chose not to say a word about it.

Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep.

Did he have no idea where things went wrong or did his bitterness and lies and rage ruin a woman who loved him unconditionally did he not consistently choose other women over her I think he knows quite well what he did wrong he just won’t take accountability

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 325

    John's POVI quickly wiped the panic off my face, my brain racing as I tried to come up with an explanation."Just throwing some flower branches I've trimmed into the trash can."Having said that, I chucked a bunch of branches in, covering up the torn invitation perfectly."John, just let us handle the manual labor. You should rest well.""It's okay, moving around a bit will help me recover faster. Has Tabitha gotten up yet?""No, she's been sleeping a lot lately. Sometimes she doesn't wake up until eleven o'clock."Thus, I replied, "It's good to get some extra sleep. By the way, I just remembered today is the birthday of an old friend of mine. Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"Joanna, being as a kind-hearted girl as she was, handed it to me right away without thinking twice. "Here you go."I then dialed a number as I stepped aside.Seeing I was avoiding her, Joanna backed off a bit. She did nothing more than look up to check

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 326

    John's POVA few years ago, when I found out that Derek wasn't planning to hold a wedding ceremony, I was livid.Tabitha was my only daughter. How could I let a man take her just like this?Yet Tabitha kept begging me, saying Derek was her mate and she trusted him wholeheartedly.As for the wedding thing, she didn't care about it. She told me that they didn't need such a superficial thing to prove their love for each other.Since I never got the love I wanted in my life, I sincerely hoped that Tabitha would get hers, so I didn't insist on it.However, I never imagined that my compromise was a huge mistake. Since there was no wedding, no one knew that Tabitha was Derek's mate.How ridiculous!Now that he was marrying another woman, he let the whole world know about it.I felt so bad for Tabitha. She gave up everything for that man, and what did she get in return? Betrayal!Even her hand was injured because of him!He asked me and

    Tabitha's POVJoanna recounted what had happened this morning."Come to think of it, John looked like he was trying to stay calm. Before we talked, he seemed to be tearing something apart."With that, she tipped over the trash can that hadn't been cleaned out yet. And something bright red stood out like a sore thumb."What is this?" Joanna scrambled to piece that thing back together. "Oh no, it's the wedding invitation. John must have seen it. And he borrowed my phone before saying he was heading back to his room. Could it be that he was already in the hotel?"My heart sank. "When did it happen?""About half an hour ago.""Shit, get the car ready! I'm heading over there right now! I have to stop Dad!"He hadn't been in touch with the outside world for over two years, so he had no idea what had happened.If he found out about Holly's death and Derek's betrayal in his current state, there was no way he could handle it.I immediately tr

    John's POVI paced around for a while but didn't see Derek anywhere. And there were no signs of Mark and Holly, either.As far as I knew, Daphne was Mark's only daughter. How could he not show up when she was getting married today?I spotted Alpha Justin, though. He looked like he'd aged ten years overnight, and there wasn't a hint of joy on his face. Everything felt off.After wandering around for a bit, I started feeling worn out. Just when I was about to find a spot to chill for a minute, I heard a woman's voice from the lounge area nearby."Daphne, do you think Tabitha will show up?"The mentioning of Tabitha's name caught my attention.I followed the direction of the voice, only to find a woman sitting in a wheelchair wearing her wedding dress. She looked just like the bride on the huge poster at the entrance.So this was the girl Derek was marrying?How come she would be in a wheelchair? Was she paralyzed?At first, I had prepa

    John's POVThe words "pass away" exploded in my mind like fireworks.I felt like I couldn't breathe. My blood seemed to freeze in my veins.My wolf, sensing my agony, whimpered in my mind.My body shook uncontrollably as I grabbed Daphne's hand out of sheer panic. "How did your mom die?""What does it matter to you? Who do you think you are, you country bumpkin! If you don't scram, I'll call security," Daphne shot back at me with a glare.I was reeling from shock, pain, and disbelief all at once.These emotions tangled together, making it hard for me to catch my breath."Are you a friend of my mom's or something?" Daphne scrutinized me with a new look in her eyes that wasn't so hostile anymore.Then she added, "Forget it. It's my wedding day today. Since you're already here, stick around for a drink."Lyrique shot me a glance and sneered, "Get lost already! It's obvious that this is not where you belong. Don't ruin Daphne's big day."

    John's POVThat line hit me like a ton of bricks, shattering my last glimmer of hope.I felt a chill running down my spine, chilling me to the core.Before I knew it, I vomited blood.Lyrique freaked out, shouting, "What the hell is wrong with you? I'm telling you, putting on an act won't change anything. Where are the guards? Get this guy out of here!"Daphne shot Lyrique a nasty glare.Before she could say anything, Derek rushed over and caught me before I fell flat."John, are you alright? Alvin, get him to the hospital, now!"I turned my head, only to see him and saw him decked out in his groom's outfit. It made my blood boil even more, and I felt like I was about to shift any second.I was so enraged that I could barely get my words out through gritted teeth. After a long while, I finally managed to question him, "Were you the one behind the rogue attack and bankruptcy of my pack?"I never imagined that my daughter's mate, who I

    Third person's POVWhen Tabitha saw John collapse, her mind went into a total meltdown, and with a gasp, she fainted right there."Tabitha!"Derek lifted Tabitha up in his arms, while Alvin carried John on his back. They quickly left.Daphne was also left bewildered by the sudden turn of events. How did it end up like this?Seeing Derek carrying Tabitha and leaving, she shouted desperately from behind, "Derek! The ceremony is about to start!"She was anxious to catch Derek, but due to her broken legs, she fell to the ground with a loud bang when she got up abruptly.Now she was no more the noble and decent bride in the most expensive wedding dress, but a pathetic woman whose husband-to-be left her behind. Whispers and chatters started spreading.Lyrique realized that she had screwed it up and quickly helped Daphne up from the ground."Daphne, are you okay?"What she got in return, however, was a hard slap from Daphne. "Bitch! What ha

    Tabitha's POV"Dad, you can't leave. If you go, who will protect me in the future? They will bully me, just like when I was a child.""My poor daughter."At that moment, Dad shifted into a silver-gray wolf, his eyes filled with love and concern.I tried my best to persuade him, "Dad, you haven't even seen the birth of my babies. How can you leave? Can you bear to let me suffer alone in this world? My babies don't have a father. Do you want them to be without a grandfather too?"John's wolf twitched his ears slightly and his expression changed a bit.He looked at me gently, his eyes seemed to be saying, "Tabitha, you are the person I worry about the most."I grabbed his claw tightly and said, "So, you have to stay, Dad. The babies cannot be without a grandfather. I know you're tired, but do it for me, for the babies. If you leave, I won't have any family left to rely on in this world."John's wolf did not answer. He just looked at me silently,

    Third person's POVTabitha was used to Alvin calling her by name. 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. She remained elusive,

You're deafening."Misha's open mouth froze mid-sob, the comical expression plastered on her face.She glanced around, finally noticing the unfamiliar woman in the room. "Who is she?" she demanded."This is the miracle doctor who can save Alpha Derek. 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. "You're back.""Yes," the woman replied, her tone neutral."Let me introduce everyone. These folks are here for treatment. The young man's poisoned—Nine-Heart Wolfsbane, nearly dead.

    Third person's POVRolf's eyes were red and puffy from crying. "What's Alpha Derek trying to do?" he blubbered."Let him have this one last moment of freedom," Alvin said, holding Rolf back.The mountain wind chilled their tears, but Derek couldn't feel it anymore.His knees shook with every movement, each step draining what little strength he had left.Still, he didn't give up, gritting his teeth and forcing one foot in front of the other.The child stood bathed in sunlight—just a few steps away, and he could hold her.What should've been a quick stride took dozens of seconds, maybe longer.Hedwig stood with her back to him, pigeons swirling around her. A speckled one landed on her finger, cooing.Hedwig's eyes lit up—her mom was back!She spun around to see Derek lurching toward her, unsteady and lifeless yet driven by sheer will.He reached out, fingers trembling, when his body swayed dangero

    Third person's POVWhy did it have to be Derek?Alvin's fists tightened as he stared at the horizon. Derek had lived with a clear conscience—except for Tabitha. 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

    Third person's POVHedwig couldn't speak, but she was wise beyond her years—quiet, helpful, and already versed in basic healing.Derek wished he could play with her, but time was slipping through his fingers. 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

    Third person's POVAt the mention of the word "will," Rolf's face, which had been tense for days, crumpled. His eyes instantly reddened."Alpha Derek, you don't need a will! 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?

    Third person's POV"Alban, I didn't expect forty years to fly by like that. You're still the same as ever. I did say you wouldn't grow taller, didn't I?"Alma remarked with a smile. 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
