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.

    Spike's POVI put away my phone, wondering why Tabitha would suddenly ask that.Did she discover something?Feeling worried, I personally went to the surveillance room. The villa was located halfway up the mountain, and cameras were installed along the way.If there were any vehicles coming, they would be spotted at the foot of the mountain, and we would monitor them in real time.We were in a remote affluent neighborhood, so normally, people wouldn't come here. A few hikers might break in occasionally, yet they would be discouraged halfway through their trek.All along, only our own vehicles would come to deliver various supplies. We never saw any outsiders.I scanned the feeds for a while but didn't see anything off.When my gaze shifted downwards, however, I noticed that a few screens on the bottom row went all blank.These screens were connected with cameras installed on the steep cliff. Coupled with the rising water level and heavy r

    Tabitha's POVI covered myself with a blanket, and the thunder outside was driving me nuts.I pressed my ears shut, desperate to fall asleep as soon as possible. However, the more I tried, the harder it got, and I always felt a chill down my back.Suddenly, Crystal woke up in my head, constantly reminding me, "Run, Tabitha! Get out of here!""What's going on?" I couldn't help but ask her.But she didn't give me a clear response.Run? But where could I go? And why should I run?I had already called Spike, and he told me everything was fine. Besides, there were so many people patrolling around the villa 24/7. If something was off, they'd catch it right away.Shaking my head, I figured I must have been overthinking, as I even started to hear things that weren't there.After tossing and turning for a while, I still couldn't fall asleep. So, I reached for the gun that Lucian had left me six months ago.This thing should keep me safe, righ

    Tabitha's POVSomeone came charging at me. Even though he was wearing a waterproof suit and goggles, I could totally recognize him from just his jawline.It was Austin!I wanted to shout out and ask him what the hell he was doing and who he really was.But before I could say anything, he raised a gun and aimed it directly at me.No chit-chat, no warning—he was coming straight for me.At that moment, he seemed like a grim reaper crawling out from hell, totally different from the decent man Joanna had told me about.He was soaked by the heavy rain from head to toe, and rainwater dripped off his slick outfit, soaking into the wool carpet in the hallway.As he pulled the trigger, Joanna suddenly jumped in front of me.I heard a dull thud as the bullet hit flesh.Blood sprayed from Joanna's body like a horror movie scene. The next second, Joanna, who had been blocking in front of me, crumpled to the ground."Joanna!"But A

    Tabitha's POVMy gut-wrenching wails echoed through the whole villa.Spike ran over here as fast as he could after taking out a guy who bolted from my room, but he was still too late.When he saw the blood gushing from Joanna's chest, he howled in pain.Yet, being professionally trained, he couldn't stop his mission however devastated he felt.Seeing Austin totally unscathed, Spike lunged at him, and they were locked in a brutal brawl.I dropped my gun, my head buzzing like crazy, and everything around me blurred into a sea of red.Joanna weakly collapsed beside me, blood slowly soaking into the bracelet on her wrist.The pendant that I once praised was now stained crimson, lying forever on the ground with her.I knelt there, tears streaming down my face like a waterfall. I wanted to press my hands against her wound, but blood kept pouring out uncontrollably."Joanna, hang in there! The doctor is coming!"Joanna, please stay wit

    Tabitha's POVI know very well that crying was bad for my pups. Yet, after everything that just went down, how could I possibly chill out?Alice was patting my back, trying to calm me down while saying softly, "Don't worry. John's been transferred, and he's fine. You're fine too, and that's a stroke of luck."A stroke of luck? But I just lost a good friend!The car was zooming down the mountain. At this speed, we'd hit the highway in a dozen minutes.The rain was pouring like crazy. The wipers were working overtime, but still, it couldn't keep up with the deluge.The fog in the mountains was thick as soup, and with such heavy rain and strong winds, driving was a total nightmare.Everyone's heart was racing. Even my pups had been kicking up a storm in my belly for a while now.I repeatedly rubbed my belly to soothe them, whispering through my tears, "Pups, you have to be good. Don't make a fuss. I'm here. I'll protect you."Under my consta

    Tabitha's POVAs soon as those words left my mouth, even Alice behind me panicked. "Tabitha, seriously? You sure?""I had a premature birth before, and it feels just like this.""Tabitha, hold me tight."Spencer didn't dare slack off for a second and quickly swam us to the shore.After struggling to drag me up, he pulled out an emergency light from his pocket.I was soaked through, and even I couldn't tell if it was seawater or amniotic fluid.Alice had a serious look on her face as she said, "Let me take a look."Her face went pale as soon as she took a glance at my private part. "Oh no, Tabitha, your water broke, and there's blood!"If it's just the water breaking, it means you're going into premature labor. And I can handle that just fine. But now, there's blood. Things are getting tricky."I'm not sure if it's ruptured capillaries causing the bleeding or if it's the pups' blood. If it's the latter, we are in deep trouble."M

    Tabitha's POVAfter I finished saying so, I threw the phone aside and did what Alice told me to do."Tabitha, in this situation, I can't do the surgery for you. You have to rely on yourself and give birth to the pups as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will die due to lacking oxygen. Just push hard, your cervix is dilated."I felt a baby's head descending. Without the protection of amniotic fluid, both babies were moving around in my belly.They were like stranded fish on the beach, struggling, just like me."Babies, you must hold on. Daddy will come soon. Everything will be fine. I'm here with you. I'll never give up on you, and you can't give up either."I had been through this once, but now again, I felt even more fear and pain.My whole body was trembling crazily. I wasn't sure if it was because of fear or my low body temperature.It was the worst delivery condition for any pregnant woman. I was in so much pain and I felt suffocated.

    Third person's POV"What... What did you say?""Maybe they were suffocated when they came out. Tabitha, don't be sad. You are only six months pregnant, even if you delivered them successfully, it was unlikely for them to survive."Now the most important thing is your health. You're still young. You will have other children.""No, I don't believe it. They won't just die like this. I've carried them for so long and went through so much difficulty, I...""Tabitha, the killers are coming. We must leave now.""No, no way! I won't leave my babies behind."Alice couldn't care less about that. Her job was to protect Tabitha and then her babies.If they were all in danger at the same time, she must save Tabitha first."Tabitha, I'm sorry."Alice quickly carried Tabitha on her back. Tabitha looked at her babies lying on the clothes without signs of life. Mixed with rain, her tears streamed down uncontrollably."No! My babies!"Alice

    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

    Third person's POVThis was why Tabitha had chosen Alvin over Rolf.She adjusted her waterlogged mask, now nearly peeling off, and swiftly exited the scene.Rolf muttered behind her, "Alpha Derek, don't go around hugging people. 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

    Third person's POVAlvin froze, panic rising. "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,

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

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
