Tabitha's POV

Before they kicked the door open, I opened it.

Standing at the doorway, I saw Spike with one of his cheeks red and another guard rushing over to protect me.

As Derek's subordinates, they were just like him—cold, silent, and low-key.

They never stirred up trouble or threw their weight around.

Since their job was to protect me, they had been patient and tolerant from the very beginning, lest drawing any attention.

But even so, the lady and her guards weren't backing down. Instead, they went so far as to slap Spike.

I assumed she was the so-called Miss Gutierrez. Her face seemed unfamiliar, and her accent didn't sound very Seattle to me. She was decked out in luxury brands, looking like a walking fashion show. A typical spoiled girl.

Before I could say anything, she sized me up and finally fixed her gaze on my belly.

"I thought some big shot was inside. Turns out it's just a pregnant woman."

With a snort, she pulled

    Tabitha's POVAmidst the crowd, my eyes locked with Klein's.A whirlwind of complicated feelings rushed through me, finally settling on guilt.I had agreed to give him my kidney, and that day, he was all prepped and ready for surgery. But at the last minute, Derek swooped in and took me away.I didn't even get to say I was sorry before leaving.After I was brought back to Seattle, my number got changed, so I couldn't reach Klein, let alone apologize to him.I never expected to run into him here.Didn't he return to his home country? Why was he back in Seattle?Unlike me, who was feeling incredibly sorry, Klein seemed pretty chill.Instead of being upset, he just gave me a gentle smile and nodded as if to say hi.Ivonne, who had been cursing me the whole time, suddenly realized I wasn't even glancing her way.She grew even angrier, yelling to draw my attention, "Hey! Who the hell are you looking at? You're pregnant, OK? Stop flir

    Tabitha's POVIvonne was slack-jawed.I had heard from Derek before that his youngest aunt wasn't a werewolf.Obviously, Ivonne wasn't either.That was probably why she and her mom weren't in the Black Thorn Pack.Like everyone else, she didn't know Derek and I used to be mates.Without knowing my background, she probably figured that I was just some ordinary girl who had climbed the social ladder through marriage.From her expression, I could tell that she didn't respect me.Derek glanced at the crowd and ordered coldly, "Alright, everyone, please return to your seat."Hearing that, the onlookers fled like roaches, not daring to stay for one more second.Once the door shut, Ivonne started complaining. The two slaps made her cheeks flush, but she still wasn't ready to back down."Derek, did you really marry her? What about Kelsey? She's been waiting for you for so long! Ever since she found out you were marrying Daphne, she's be

    Tabitha's POVMy heart skipped a beat. What Ivonne had said was indeed a touchy subject for Derek.I remembered very well how hard I managed to keep my babies back then. If Derek went off the rails again, I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle it.Derek glared at Ivonne fiercely. "Shut up."She snorted, "You're gonna be tricked by her if you don't listen to me." Though saying so, she didn't dare to upset him again. After all, she was no fool.Just then, a new item popped up on the auction block—a rose diamond necklace.Designed by Niko, a famous contemporary jeweler, it was part of a collection with a rose theme.The big screen showcased every angle and detail of that necklace's sparkle. I had been dozing off, yet seeing that, my eyes were wide open.Derek rarely saw me interested in any jewelry, so he quickly asked, "You like it?"I covered his mouth, snapping, "Shut up and listen. I wanna know the details."Derek looked h

    Tabitha's POV"Tabitha, where are you going?" Derek rushed after me.Ivonne snorted in her seat, "Is she crazy or what?"I sprinted in front of the room next to me, panting. "I wanna see Klein."Klein's assistant recognized me and opened the door.I dashed inside.Klein was lounging on a leather couch, looking all calm. Hearing the sound, he turned to face me."It's been a while, Tabitha. Hi."I no longer cared about courtesy, just asking bluntly, "Klein, is that necklace your sister's?""Yes. I heard something belonging to her was up for auction today, so I came here to see if I could find any trace of her. Even if I couldn't, I still hated to see her birthday gift end up in someone else's hands."Sure enough, my theory was right. The dead woman was Klein's sister, whom he had been searching for all this time.Seeing the worn-out look on Klein's face, I couldn't bring myself to break such brutal news to him no matter what.

    Tabitha's POVKlein's hands started to tremble when he heard the words "a dead woman."His face was already pale, and right now, it was simply ashen."Are you sure?" he asked."Yes. The studs were big and beautiful, and the clothes she was wearing were from luxury brands. Oh, and she had this stunning collectible sapphire ring on her finger."Seeing Klein's expression getting worse by the second, I quickly tried to reassure him, "It wasn't necessarily your sister. Who knows? Maybe someone had her jewelry. It may not be as bad as you think."Klein was glued to his phone, ignoring me completely.I noticed his fingers were trembling uncontrollably as he swiped frantically on the screen until he finally stopped on a photo."Is this the ring you saw?"The picture showed the ring clearly—the sapphire was as clear as the sky, with exquisite craftsmanship and noble style."Yes. When I saw the corpse, it had already been soaked in the w

    Derek's POV The helicopter landed on a wide platform, and the moment I stepped out of the cabin, a wave of heat swept in from all directions. I turned to Tabitha, saying, "It's hot outside. How about you just wait in the helicopter?" "No," she insisted, standing her ground. So I had no choice but to help her out. Klein had gathered a whole crew too. With a stern face, he asked, a hint of fear in his voice, "Tabitha, where did you see the body?" She pondered for a while before pointing to a rundown boat, replying, "There. That was where I saw the body at that time, but it's been half a year, perhaps..." Before she could finish her words, Klein rushed towards the boat, ignoring his assistant's worried shout behind him, "Mr. Hartley, slow down. You shouldn't be running that fast!" But Klein just ignored it. It was understandable, though. After all, he had been searching for his sister for so long, and now he finally got a lead, but it could be li

    Tabitha's POVAlthough Klein's family was internationally renowned, being in a foreign land definitely put some limits on what he could do.It wasn't as easy for him to get things done here in Seattle for him as it was for Derek.After agreeing to his request, Derek pulled some strings and quickly got professionals to start the autopsy.Meanwhile, Klein was just stuck in one position, his gaze drifting off to who-knows-where.I set a glass of lemonade in front of him and gently advised, "Klein, the results will be out soon. Don't stress. It's probably not what we're thinking. Just drink some water."Klein, snapping back to reality, replied in a hoarse voice, "Can you tell me again about the details of when you saw her?"I then carefully recounted the process of how I escaped onto the boat.When I got to the part about being in that filthy water with the body and seeing a school of fish swimming out of its eyes, both Derek and Klein's faces wen

    Tabitha's POVI recalled the first time I felt the fetal movement during my first pregnancy. Back then, I was over the moon, like a kid on Christmas morning, just itching to share that joy with Derek.That day, I sent him a ton of voice messages and videos, but he didn't respond at all.When he finally came home that night, I ran up to him with a big smile and said, "Derek, the baby kicked me today, really. Come feel it!"At that time, I was only three months along, so my belly wasn't really showing yet.Yet he just shot me a cold glance and walked away.It felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over me, drenching me to the skin and leaving me chilled to the bone.At that moment, I realized not everyone got as hyped as I did about this stuff.So as the baby grew bigger and the kicks became more pronounced, I never told Derek even once.He was either out early and came home late or away from home for a long time. It was like he di

At worst, from now on, Zander will give up all inheritance rights. Let me take him away. He will never appear before you again."Even now, Ambrose still spoke with a condescending tone, not realizing any fault of his.If Derek were a child, he would definitely be very sad. Now, he just slowly shifted his bloodshot eyes toward Ambrose's face.With a smirk that seemed more like a grimace, Derek spoke like a devil, "What of mine does he have to give up? Ambrose, if I were you, I'd get out of here and stop being a nuisance.""What?"In the past, Derek was still respectful to him. Now, his tone was disdainful and cruel.Clearly, Derek was not in the mood to argue.He looked down at Zander coldly, "You're not talking, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk."After saying this, Derek dragged him by the arm. Since Z

The Greenwood family's guards refused to let them take Zander.Zander had fainted once. The doctor had revived him on the spot. He then continued his punishment of kneeling until now.He had been able to make snide remarks while watching the drama unfold last night. But after kneeling all night, Zander felt as if he wished he were dead.His knees were numb from the pain, and his head wound was only rudimentarily treated.He felt that he had lost sensation in his lower body.Exhausted, hungry, and sleepy, he dared not fall.He had fallen once in the middle of the night due to extreme sleepiness, and as a result, his body was covered in glass, causing him unbearable pain.In a daze, he saw Derek approach him.

Before the water could heat up, he stepped in.The cold water splashed on his body, but it was not as cold as the chill in his heart.He recalled the night two years ago when Tabitha was tied up in the bathroom by him, soaked by the cold water.The water was so cold. She must have been utterly desperate at that time.Thinking of Tabitha's current state, Derek was filled with regret. The harshness he had shown Tabitha in the past had all turned into blades stabbing himself.The more he loved Tabitha, the more he blamed himself now.His wolf whimpered in pain within his mind, "I can't sense Tabitha's wolf. They are very weak."Derek did not respond. He was aware.He would definitely agree to exchange his own life for Tabitha's now.Alvin hurriedly arrived and walked to the bathroom door. It was pitch black inside. But with the light from outside, he vaguely saw Derek sitting against the wall.He was

    Third person's POVDerek nearly dropped the bowl in his hands.He explained in haste, "Tabitha, it's not what you think. Daphne and I didn't-"Tabitha coldly interrupted him, "What story are you preparing to make up this time? Do you still remember that? When I was pregnant and fell from the stairs, how did you respond when I called you?"This was the only fragment she could recall. It still felt like a needle piercing her heart when she thought about it.Hearing her asking this question, Derek knew he couldn't hide the truth from her anymore."Tabitha, I can explain," he said.Tabitha indifferently remarked, "Perhaps you had some unavoidable reasons. But you left your mate to save someone else. I'm sorry, I can't empathize with your reasons. I only feel sad for myself. You were right. It's better to forget those memories, as remembering them would only add more troubles."Such a perceptive Tabitha left Derek speechless.No matter what he said now, even if it was the truth, Tabitha wo

It's possible that under the double blow of the wolfsbane and chemotherapy, she might not..."Before Kamp finished his sentence, Derek hung his head, his voice hoarse, "No, Tabitha won't die."Kamp, seeing Derek's state, didn't know how to comfort him. All they could do now was pray to the Moon Goddess for a miracle.After a night of rescue efforts, Tabitha was temporarily out of danger.But her condition was still not good. She was frail.Kamp strongly advised against chemotherapy at this time, as she wouldn't be able to withstand it.Looking at Tabitha in her coma and, for a moment, Derek had no other ideas. The chemotherapy had to be put on hold for now.Rolf hurried over, "Alpha Derek, something's in trouble. I just heard that Klein has had an accident.""What happened?""It seems to be an old
