2024-09-02 18:07:43Tabitha's POV
When 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

Maureen's POVSeeing Tabitha like this, I couldn't bear to argue with her.I knew that her mom had walked out on her a long time ago, her father had become a vegetable, and her marriage was a disaster too. She had been through enough pain.When she bowed down before me, I immediately panicked."Ms. Hartley, you're unwell. Please stop it."At my age, I knew she must've gone into early labor as soon as I caught sight of her flat belly. Turned out she was hurt, too.Just then, a guy hobbled over with a cane, limping on one leg."Mrs. Foster, Joanna volunteered to protect Tabitha. It's not Tabitha's fault. It's all on me. I failed to protect her. Blame me if you want."I remembered he was called Spike. He had come to visit my son, and at first glance, I could tell he was a decent guy."Kid, your leg..."Behind Spike, a bunch of tall guys started coming out of the ward one after another, some with injured hands and some with injured legs.

Tabitha's POVI looked up and saw a tall, lanky young man limping towards me. His facial features reminded me of Joanna.They had similar faces but different vibes. Joanna was lively and cheerful, while he was cold and brooding.Noticing my gaze, he nodded at me, saying, "Ms. Hartley, I'm sorry if my mother has disturbed you. She had no idea what was going on."Alvin leaned in close to Derek and whispered, "I already filled him in on everything. He asked me not to tell Mrs. Foster about it, worrying it might upset her. I guess he didn't expect she would come here."I looked at the young man and said softly, "You must be Joanna's brother. She often mentioned you to me."He looked haggard, the corners of his eyes a bit red from crying. Hearing my words, he limped over. Guessed he hadn't fully recovered from the car accident.Before I knew it, he suddenly bowed to me. His head hung low like he was confessing some big sin."I know what happened, M

Derek's POVI took a shower and changed my clothes. Feeling fresh, I headed back to the hospital."How is she?" I asked Rolf before entering Tabitha's ward.He immediately replied, "Strange. She isn't making a fuss at all. And she even asked for an extra meal.""Did she say anything?""She asked about our men's injuries, how many were caught, and if Austin was among them. She stayed calm throughout," replied Rolf."What did you tell her?""I answered truthfully, saying that Austin got away and the rest were all being held and tortured. Tabitha didn't say much. Just told me she was tired and needed to rest." Rolf scratched his head and added, "Alpha Derek, what is going on with her? She's too calm. It gives me the creeps.""Looks like she wasn't lying to me," I concluded.I had been worried that Tabitha was trying to send me away so she could kill herself or something, but fortunately, she really came to her senses now.I tiptoed into

Tabitha's POV "Tabitha, I'm not taking anyone's side. But this isn't the style of Poison and Wolf Shadow. If she really wanted to kill you, she could've easily found a way to poison you. Why go through all this trouble? "You know that Megan's the leader. After Mark's death, she left Seattle with her crew, and Elena also left a few months ago." Derek took my hand gently, his expression softening. "To hire Black Wolf Guild takes serious cash and connections. This person is straightforward and ruthless. Tabitha, think carefully. Have you offended anyone?" I shook my head, replying, "You know my past. To become your mate, I dropped out of college. Who could I possibly offend? Not to mention a tycoon who can casually spend 15 million dollars to take me out." Derek frowned. "I suspect it has something to do with your biological family. To help Holly, you accidentally had a DNA test and found out you're not her daughter. Someone wanted to stop you from digging deep

Tabitha's POV Deep down, I was anything but calm or collected. All I felt was this endless madness and obsession. The Thunderflame Isles were known among werewolves as the Isles of Death. It was a secret training ground for special agents where most who got in didn't come out alive. Those who ended up there were either orphans with no one to turn to or rogues who lost everything in war. All of them were individuals standing alone. Most of them were put into training at a very young age. Sure, there were some like me who weren't exactly kids anymore, but they usually had some kind of background in this field. If I just waltzed in there without a plan, it'd be a one-way ticket to death. It was understandable that Derek flipped out about it. "Tabitha, you can't think like that! Didn't you use to wish to set up a hospital for regular folks? I've built it for you. Although Daphne changed the name, it's already running with top-notch doctors from both domesti

Tabitha's POV The sky was dark and drizzly, with the cold wind making the candlelight flicker, and the white petals dancing in the breeze. I wiped the rain off my face and murmured, "Joanna, is that you?" Two drops of rain landed right under Joanna's eyes in the photo, making it look like she was smiling through tears. It was such a bitter sight. I ran my fingers over the gravestone, murmuring, "Joanna, rest assured. I'll take good care of your family. From now on, they're my family too. You can leave with peace of mind. In the next life... In the next life, I wish you happy." After the funeral, the whole village was enveloped in a dense drizzle. I didn't leave immediately but instead went to Joanna's former residence. Her family had moved to the big city a long time ago, and except for major holidays, this place just sat empty. The house looked pretty run-down, and the apple tree and grapevines in the yard stood lonely in the rain. Stand

Tabitha's POV I stared blankly at the old lady. There was a maze of wrinkles on her face, and her eyes were so cloudy like they were covered in fog. She seemed very excited, her hands feeling like dry tree bark as they gripped mine tightly, rubbing my knuckles raw. She was way older than me. Why did she speak to me in such a respectful tone? Why was she so hyped upon seeing me? We didn't even know each other. "Ma'am, did you mistake me for someone else?" "How could I have mistaken you? Miss, I never thought I'd see you in my lifetime! You look just like you did back then, with no changes at all." She scrutinized me carefully before continuing, "No, you seem to have lost weight, and there's something a bit off about your face." Mrs. Foster quickly spoke up, "Priscilla, you must have mistaken someone else for Tabitha. She has never been here before. This is the first time." "Tabitha?" The old lady named Priscilla circled around me, occ

Third person's POVDerek hadn't expected Kyrian to react so strongly. He'd only wanted Tabitha to know about Kyrian's existence, but he'd overlooked the fact that Kyrian was no longer a clueless toddler like his younger siblings.At this age, children understood everything and had developed their own complex emotions."I'm sorry."Derek carried Kyrian step by step back to the house. Kyrian was wrapped tightly in the military coat, while Derek was left exposed to the snow and wind.Although Kyrian had spent more time with Derek growing up, Derek had been chasing after Tabitha these past two years, and Kyrian rarely got to see his father.When Kyrian saw Derek covered in snow, his crying gradually subsided.He wasn't the only one hurting. Derek must have been suffering too.Kyrian sniffled softly, and Derek looked into his eyes, speaking earnestly, "I promise you, one day I'll bring Mom back, okay?"Kyrian's nose was red f

Third person's POVAs soon as Tabitha stepped out of the house, the biting winter wind hit her face like a knife, stinging her skin.Just as Derek had said, everything had been arranged."Tabitha, the helicopter is ready. You can leave now.""Thank you.""However, the helipad is a bit far. You'll need to walk there.""That's fine," Tabitha waved it off.Wrapped in a thick down jacket, she buried her face in the hood. She felt as though someone was watching her, but she didn't dare look back.She was afraid that if she turned around, she wouldn't be able to leave. In her heart, she kept repeating, Don't look back. Just keep walking.Behind the curtains, Derek held Kyrian, who was crying silently. Kyrian reached out toward the empty air, as if trying to grab the hem of Tabitha's coat."Dad, I don't want Mom to leave. Will she abandon me?""No, she loves you. How could she abandon you? She's just leaving for a

Third person's POVThough he was just a child and didn't fully understand what had happened between Tabitha and Derek, he knew one thing—he loved Tabitha and wanted her to be happy."If this makes you happy, I don't mind. I'm just scared... scared you'll leave me," Kyrian said, his voice trembling slightly."Silly boy, didn't I tell you? You and your siblings are my most precious treasures. I love you so much, and I'll visit you often," Tabitha said gently.Then, she noticed the cord around Kyrian's neck and gently pulled it out. It was the small lock she'd designed for him years ago."I made this for you. It's engraved with my hopes for you, 'May you grow up happy and healthy every day.'"Kyrian reached out his hand. "Mom, you can't lie to me. You have to come see me again."Their fingers hooked together in a pinky promise, and Tabitha smiled softly."Okay, I promise. When you're a little older, we'll live together, alri
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 755
Third person's POVIn such a short time, Kyrian had already figured out his place in Tabitha's heart. He knew exactly where her soft spots were and used his natural childlike tears as a "weapon" to try to keep her from leaving.Though this might not make Tabitha happy, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him.What parent could say no to a child crying for candy?Especially when that child was the one she owed so much to, the one she wanted to give the entire world to.But he didn't want the world. He just wanted Tabitha to stay."I..." Tabitha started to speak, but Kyrian cut her off."Mom, I love you so much, and you love me, and my siblings too. I already don't have a complete family. Do you want my siblings to grow up without a dad, only imagining what he looks like, envying other kids' happy families? Mom, haven't you heard? A happy, complete childhood can heal a person for life, but an incomplete one takes a lifetime to heal."

Third person's POV"Back then was back then. Now is now. But I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll always love you," Tabitha said softly, gently stroking Kyrian's head. Her hand brushed through his soft fur, the warmth of a mother's love flowing through her touch.Kyrian's voice was small, tinged with hope. "Mom, can you spare a little love for Dad? He's actually kind of pitiful."His eyes showed sympathy for Derek. In his heart, both his parents were his greatest loves, and he longed for a complete family."There are plenty of people in this world who love your dad. He doesn't need mine," Tabitha replied, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness. Despite her lingering feelings for Derek, the pain of the past made it hard for her to forgive."But to Dad, you're like oxygen to a fish. A fish can't live without oxygen," Kyrian said, snuggling closer to Tabitha.He pressed his body against hers, as if clinging to her love would make it st

Third person's POVKyrian obediently climbed over and was immediately pulled into Tabitha's embrace.From here, they could see the beautiful scenery outside. Kyrian realized that the training grounds looked completely different from this angle—probably because his mother was by his side.Tabitha smiled softly, her voice warm. "I chose your name. You were born with all my love.""Mom, you must have loved Dad a lot back then," Kyrian said, looking up with curious eyes."Yes, very much," Tabitha admitted honestly. "No matter how I feel about your dad now, you are my precious child, born after seven months of carrying you. Your dad took you away, and I didn't even know you existed. That's why I missed so many years of your life. But you need to know, I thought about you every single day. There wasn't a moment when I didn't miss you or wonder about you. I love you more than anyone in the world."Kyrian's mood brightened, a happy smile sprea
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 752
Third person's POVKyrian watched nervously as Tabitha cleaned and dressed his wounds.He didn't dare breathe too loudly, his eyes glued to her every move. His gaze was filled with dependence and longing.Every now and then, he'd glance quickly at Derek, his eyes questioning, desperate for reassurance that this wasn't a dream."Dad, is Mom really back?" His voice trembled, carrying the fragility and hope unique to a child.Derek reached out and gently tapped his nose. "Silly boy, she's really here."Kyrian's tense body relaxed slightly, and a shy smile crept onto his face.When Tabitha applied the ointment a little too firmly, he winced but stayed silent.His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was afraid that if he cried out in pain, Tabitha might leave.In his heart, he thought, As long as Mom stays, this pain is nothing.Kyrian had always been well-behaved, but n

Third person's POVAzazel was furious.To be honest, he hadn't planned to take things this far with Kyrian.He showed Kyrian some respect, but deep down, he knew most of the children here were orphans with no one to rely on.He'd been provoking Kyrian because he refused to fall in line. After all this time, Kyrian still wouldn't listen to him.Azazel had wanted to teach him a lesson and assert his dominance in front of the others.But Kyrian was tougher than he'd expected. Instead of backing down, he even fought back with a fierce determination that burned in his eyes.What's wrong with him? Why won't he give up?"You're dead, brat," Azazel snarled, raising his fist to deliver a crushing blow to Kyrian's head."Stop!"Kyrian closed his eyes, bracing for the impact his small body couldn't possibly withstand. But the blow never came.A hand shot out, gripping Azazel's wrist.Everyone turned to see Tabitha, breathless from running.Thankfully, she'd made it in time.What she didn't know

Third person's POVKyrian had barely taken a few bites when a tall boy walked over and flipped his tray onto the floor, sneering, "Go on, eat that."Tabitha's fists clenched in anger. "How can they bully him like this? He's already struggling!"Derek held her back. "Tabitha, don't act rashly. This place isn't just about physical training for him."Tabitha frowned. "Then what else is he here for?"Derek explained, "For people like us, growing up means training alongside peers who'll become your most trusted allies—like Alvin and Rolf. These are the people who'd take a bullet for you on the battlefield. If Kyrian grows up sheltered, handed a team of strangers, do you think they'd truly respect or protect him? One wrong move, and he could end up dead."Tabitha's anger began to fade. "What are you saying?"Derek's tone grew serious. "He's not just training his body. He's learning to lead, to earn the loyalty of these kids. They'll b
