Tabitha's POV

Although 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

    Derek's POVAfter consulting Kamp, I learned that pregnant women were very emotionally unstable.I knew Tabitha held a grudge against me, so I'd been staying away from her for several months, just to give her some space to focus on her pregnancy.Today's news about the female corpse seemed to really get to her, and she couldn't stop crying.I wiped away her tears with a warm towel and gently comforted her, "She was just a stranger, not your relative or something. You don't need to be upset or guilty. If she knew what you'd done for her, she would definitely be grateful. It was you who helped her leave that place and reunite with her family."She sniffled and mumbled, "It's probably because we share the same last name. Knowing that she was Klein's sister, I feel like losing someone close to me."As she said this, she seemed to realize how silly she sounded and shook her head with a resigned look. "I'm just being too sensitive. Don't worry. I'll tak

    Derek's POVThe first thing Tabitha did when she woke up was jerk back, clutching her belly with her left hand she was facing some kind of danger.Seeing her instinctively freak out around me, I felt my heart shattered into a million pieces."Relax, Tabitha. I just ... wanna feel the fetal movements."Tabitha, however, didn't buy it at all. With a fierce look on her face, she hissed like a mother hen protecting her chicks, "Get out of here!""Okay, okay! Just chill, Tabitha. I'll leave right away."Just when I turned around, I heard her wince behind me.I stopped in my tracks and turned around, only to see her brows knitted, pain etched all over her face.I immediately rushed over and asked, "What's wrong? Did the pups kick you again? Just now, I felt like they were moving very frequently.""Ouch..." Tabitha held her belly, looking pale as a ghost.I totally freaked out."Don't worry. I'm calling Dr. Evans right now to give you

    Derek's POVI walked to the courtyard and saw Alice Evans, the doctor, standing there, probably waiting for a hot minute. Noticing me, she walked up to me respectfully and whispered, "Alpha Derek, just now, I left something unsaid, worried that it might scare Tabitha. Can we talk about it now?""Follow me," I told her.Leo circled around in my mind, looking nervous.Once we were in a safe spot where Tabitha couldn't hear us, I spoke up again, "Is there something wrong with the pups?"I took out a cigarette but didn't light it, as the worry weighed me down."No, no, no, Alpha Derek, rest assured. The pups are safe for now. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Tabitha has a history of hemorrhaging, and her endometrium is thin, so she's prone to miscarriage."Seeing that I remained silent, Alice continued, "Her emotional state is also an important factor. Alpha Derek, you must take good care of Tabitha and avoid upsetting her during her pregnancy. If

    Tabitha's POVWhen I woke up the next morning, I learned that Derek had already left. I also noticed that there were more werewolf guards than before.Feeling like I needed to go check on Klein, I was about to have someone get the car ready.But Spike rushed over and stopped me. "Tabitha, Alpha Derek said you shouldn't leave the villa until you give birth.""But...""He's doing this for your safety. If you have any questions, just ask him."I thought back to last night when my pups were kicking like crazy—it freaked me out and made me think I was gonna lose them.Since Derek did this for my sake, I didn't argue about it. Cradling my baby bump, I headed back to my room.Just as I walked in, Derek's call came through. I picked it up, saying, "Hey.""Klein got the autopsy results. Early this morning, he took the remains back for a funeral. I had someone escort him all the way to the airport, so you don't have to worry about it. Before

    Tabitha's POVSoon, the whole medical team came over."Tabitha, he needs emergency treatment immediately. Please make some room for us."Dumbfounded, I was led out by Joanna.Seeing me panicked, she anxiously said, "Tabitha, don't worry. I'm sure John will be fine. You have to take care. You're pregnant now."I was torn between the two: my babies and my father.The doctor had just warned me last night not to get too emotional, but I couldn't help but worry.I anxiously stared at the door, and after a while, the doctor came out wiping his sweat.I asked anxiously, "Is he okay?""Tabitha, don't worry. He's no longer in danger now."The nurse handed the moonstone necklace set back to me. "Tabitha, John only lives till now because of his willpower. You can't let him lose his faith. He's taut like a bowstring. Once he lost his faith, he would utterly break down.""I see. I will bear that in mind."After the medical team left, I

Tabitha, I..."Before she could finish, I cut in, "I'll give you two days off. Go home and check on him. Family comes first.""Thank you, Tabitha, but you...""I have so many doctors, servants, and bodyguards here just to attend to me. You don't have to worry about me. How about this? I'll instruct the finance department to pay you this month's salary in advance.""Tabitha, that's really not necessary.""Just go, and I'll handle it for you. I'll get someone to drive you to the hospital." I waved and instructed Spike to take Joanna there, and I also gave a heads-up to the surgeon in advance.I had long noticed that Spike had a feeling for Joanna, but her mind was all on Austin.I wouldn't judge whether that guy was decent or not, but at least I knew

    Tabitha's POV"Tabitha," Spike said, sounding pretty bummed out. "It's not that I couldn't win her heart over. It's that her eyes were only on that guy. How could she see anyone else?"That made sense to me. After all, when I was in love with Derek back then, I ignored everyone else, no matter what they did or said to me. Now, I didn't even remember what those people who confessed their love for me looked like."Don't be discouraged. Sooner or later, you'll find your mate.""Nah, I quit.""You guys are so stubborn." I rubbed my forehead."Tabitha, it looks like it's going to rain soon. Don't go out tonight, in case you slip and fall on the slippery path in the yard.""I see." I continued with my tea. The babies seemed quite active at the moment, so I planned to take a small walk in the room before I went to sleep.It poured heavily all night long, accompanied by the sound of thunder. I didn't sleep well the whole night.The next day, the

    Derek clung to Tabitha like a koala to a tree trunk, refusing to let go.His voice was urgent and filled with longing as he declared, "Tabitha, you have no idea how long I've been searching for you! Every day, every night, your image haunted my thoughts. I was such a fool. If I had known you would vanish completely, I never would have let you go."Tabitha's heart skipped a beat at his words.Recalling her departure, she realized how strange it had been—how smoothly she had left.Back then, Tabitha had barely left when someone came chasing after her. Had Derek known of her plan from the start?If he had wanted to stop her, he could have nipped her plan in the bud."Why did you let me go, then?" she asked.Derek, lost in the joy of their reunion, poured out his feelings unreservedly. "I've always felt guilty for the wrongs I did you. I wanted to make amends."Tabitha gazed into Derek's eyes, noticing the red marks on his face.Despite his usual handsomeness, these marks added an air of

What if she gets clingy? Tabitha's still out there—what if she sees this and makes you wait another decade?"Derek remained silent."But seriously," Rolf continued, "the doctor's build and height are identical to Tabitha's. Just the face is different."Derek seized on this. "What did you say?""I said she looks like Tabitha, except for the face. Alpha Derek, don't get carried away—it's not like Tabitha to pop up just because you're poisoned. You've looked for her for three and a half years with no luck."Derek rubbed his temples, chalking it up to longing-induced hallucinations.Tabitha retreated to her room, exhausted from the sleepless night of brewing and changing medicines.

"Apologies.""Now that you're more lucid, let's do a quick check-up. How do you feel?""Body's burning. Blind as a bat. Hearing's there but muffled, ringing in the ears. Headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, weak limbs...""Your entire body's under toxin attack. Recovery will take time. Don't stress. You're in good shape—should bounce back faster. Can you stand? Let me see your condition."The tub's dark liquid hid Derek's nudity, so Tabitha didn't push him to move.Derek suddenly realized something. "Wait, I'm naked?""Yep."Silence.His face twisted in discomfort."I'm a

    Third person's POV"Are you serious?" Tabitha frowned. "This is life or death. Do you want him to die?""You don't get it," Alvin said quickly. "That woman isn't really Alpha Derek's fiancée. She made it up to convince Mrs. Atkinson to help. Derek's got someone else—someone he loves. If he finds out she fed him the medicine, he'll lose it.""So what? It's just medicine. I can't exactly summon his 'someone else' here," Tabitha muttered."Everything else is negotiable, but Alpha Derek's stubborn about this. He's loved Tabitha his whole life. He won't let another woman touch him intimately. I can't make that call for him. Any other ideas?"Tabitha froze. Tabitha? She hadn't heard that name in years."Since he loves Tabitha so much, where is she? Why isn't she here?""Tabitha left over three years ago. Derek's searched everywhere but couldn't find her. This time, he got distracted because someone hired a Tabitha look-alike. T

"Sorry, Alpha Derek's delirious," he blurted, terrified of offending Doctor Venessa."Get his clothes off and put him in the tub," Tabitha instructed, turning away to sort herbs."Fully?" Alvin asked, unsure."Fully," Tabitha confirmed, her voice flat.Alvin hesitated, then stripped Derek bare.Tabitha's mind flashed with memories of Derek's body—the same one she'd once known intimately.Compared to when she'd left, Derek's physique was more muscular.When she'd gripped his waist earlier, she'd distinctly felt the elasticity and definition of his muscles.Now, with his clothes removed, several new scars were visible across his chest.She'd watched him from afar over the years, always avoiding contact, always ensuring she remained invisible to him.Several times over the years, Derek had nearly crossed paths with Tabitha during missions. Each time, she deli

    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,

"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.

"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.

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
