Tabitha's POV
After 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
Tabitha's POV"Tabitha, don't overthink it. Just hold on a little longer. Alpha Derek will be here soon. This is our mission. No matter what happens, we will protect you!""Thank you, Dr. Evans. I really appreciate your care over the past few months."Alice appeared very uneasy after hearing my words."Tabitha, don't give up. We will get out. I promise.""Get out? Where can we possibly go?"I looked up at the dark sky, and the cold rain mercilessly pattered on my face."Actually, I know that my dad can't live much longer. He lives until now thanks to instruments and medication. He has long lost the will to live.""Tabitha...""Dr. Evans, my friend used to say that I was like the sun, shining in brightness. But later, the light on me gradually faded, and I was enveloped by darkness. I walked a long time in the mud."Back then, I rolled and crawled, struggling desperately. I refused to give up and didn't believe in fate. Even a faint g
Tabitha's POVI plunged into darkness, running frantically alone."Where are my children?" I couldn't help wondering.I had only one thought in my mind. That was, to find my children quickly so that they wouldn't be afraid.I ran tirelessly for a long, long time, and suddenly a light appeared before my eyes. I found myself standing in a meadow.At the end of the meadow, there was a rainbow bridge, and the other side was enveloped in clouds and mist. Would my children be there?Gradually, a figure appeared on the other side of the rainbow bridge. That was Joanna.She was wearing the dress she wore when she went to pick up her crush at the airport that day, looking very beautiful. As usual, she waved at me."Joanna!"I was overjoyed and ran towards the rainbow bridge without hesitation. Just as my foot was about to step on it, I suddenly heard two baby voices."Mom!"I turned around and saw two adorable kids. The boy looked like D
Tabitha's POVMy whole mental world just crashed down, and the loss of my pups was the last straw that broke me.I was so hyped for the baby to come, and now I was just crushed beyond belief.Tears and blood mixed together as I squatted on the bed, yanking at my hair. "Derek, you shouldn't have saved me! Living is just too damn hard!"I couldn't even figure out why I was still breathing.I felt like a walking disaster, bringing nothing but bad luck to everyone around me.Derek once again dragged me into his arms. "Do you want to know why I saved you? Well, I'll tell you now."He knelt down to help put my shoes and socks on before scooping me up in his arms."Where are you taking me?""You will know soon," Derek said as he carried me into one of the wards. It was a room for three, with patients wrapped in bandages, and some even in casts.Spike probably needed to use the bathroom. With his leg injured, he could only get around with cr
Tabitha's POVLevel B3. The elevator doors slid open, and a blast of cold air hit me right in the face.Derek removed his coat and draped it over me; it was colder here than it had been above.This was my first time in a place like this, and it was unlike anything I'd seen in films or on TV.The corridor lights were very bright, but as the excessively bright incandescent light shone on the walls, this place appeared even more desolate.An elderly man stood by the entrance to the morgue, having been instructed by his superior to wait for our arrival."Alpha Derek, Tabitha, the body's been prepped for viewing, but it's still a corpse—so brace yourselves."I said in a hoarse voice, "Open the door."As soon as it swung open, I saw a body covered with a white sheet.Derek explained quietly, "I've kept this under wraps for now; her family doesn't know yet."I walked towards the body step by step. I had been asleep for three days.
Derek's POVWatching Tabitha cry in my arms, I felt sorry for her.I knew she was still weak and she was supposed to avoid violent mood swings. But she had so much pent-up negativity inside her.I feared that if she kept bottling it all up, something worse would happen. Thus, I figured it was better to let her vent.She cried for what felt like forever until her voice turned hoarse and her tears ran dry.Right now, she was just sobbing softly in my arms.I remained silent the whole time, just gently patting her back, trying to be as soothing as possible.After a while, I noticed her emotions starting to settle down, so I helped her up."You're right," she said."I shouldn't be wishing for death. That would just make the mastermind behind it all crow about his or her victory. I have to live well and make that bastard pay for all this pain."Tabitha wiped away the last trace of tears from the corner of her eyes, and when she looked at
Tabitha's POVWhen I finally came around, it was already evening, and I could hear crying coming from the hallway.I groggily opened my eyes, not moving at all, just staring blankly at the ceiling in a daze.Everything felt surreal, like some kind of twisted dream.Derek's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at me, his voice hoarse. "Tabitha, finally, you're awake."Seeing him looking so worn out, I knew he must've been pulling all-nighters for days just to take care of me.Right now, my lips were so dry that I couldn't even part them.Derek told me, "For the past few days, you have only been getting nutrients through IVs and haven't eaten any solid food. I've been using cotton swabs dipped in water to keep your lips moist. It's normal that you feel them dry."What do you want? Are you thirsty or hungry? Just let me know.""I'm thirsty..."The moment Derek heard me speak up, his face lit up with relief as he jumped to his feet.But
Third person's POV However reluctant Tabitha was to accept the harsh truth, she had to do it. Things had already happened, and there was nothing she could do to turn back the clock. So many were injured or died just to save her, and now she wasn't just living for herself anymore. "You don't have to worry about me doing anything foolish again. Just go home, take a shower, and get some rest. Trust me, I won't run away again," she promised. Derek didn't expect she would say so. After she came around, she seemed like a whole new person. In the past, she was like a delicate magnolia, standing tall and elegant but completely harmless. Now, however, she was like a thorny rose, beautiful yet ready to hurt anyone who got too close. "Tabitha, I'm not tired..." Derek wasn't sure how she was holding up, so he wanted to stick around and keep an eye on her. Tabitha didn't insist. Instead, she looked towards the closed door, asking, "I heard someone cry
Third person's POVAmbrose couldn't bear it any longer and stepped in between the two.He spoke with righteous indignation, "Enough. Why do you have to tear each other apart? 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
Third person's POVZander's situation was dire. After Tabitha was urgently taken to the hospital last night, Alpha Elliott was so enraged that he had an episode and returned to his previous state of confusion.Ambrose and Phoebe wanted to take him away, but Derek had given orders. 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.
Third person's POVDerek returned to the main bedroom and casually turned on the shower. 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
Third person's POV"Alpha Derek, chemotherapy is like fighting fire with fire. Besides the wolfsbane, it also indiscriminately attacks normal cells. Tabitha's condition is very serious now. 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
Third person's POVOrson felt a chill down his spine as the current Derek seemed like a wild beast about to break free from its chains.Tabitha was the last chain that could hold him. Once something happened to her, who knew what he would become?Orson's wolf had already sensed a strong danger and kept reminding Orson in his mind to stay away from Derek."Don't you think you're being too arbitrary? At least you should ask Tabitha herself for her opinion about this."
Third person's POVTabitha's test results came out overnight. She did have cancer.What was worse, her cancer had metastasized to her head. Now she had an early malignant tumor in her brain.The oncologists gathered for a consultation, and their conclusion was consistent with Orson's. Treatment wasn't recommended.Derek's gaze was extremely cold. Suppressing his anger, he said, "You haven't even tried. And you're already giving up?"
Derek's POVShe even tried moonlight therapy once!I had no idea. I felt a lump in my throat, and with difficulty, I said slowly, "Was it those days you took care of her?""Yes. She was wasting away as she spent her days in and out of the hospital, working several jobs to support John. Later, because her wound still wouldn't heal after a long time, she came to the hospital for examination. She conducted moonlight therapy by herself deep in the forest. I simply brought her food and water.
Third person's POVTabitha was taken to the emergency room that night.Kamp was at the Black Thorn Pack in Seattle. When he heard the news, he felt he was gonna lose it.His premonition that had been haunting him came true. He flew overnight.Derek stood outside the emergency room. His shirt was stained with Tabitha's blood, but he wasn't bothered at all.His eyes were bloodshot.
