Daphne's POV

I also attended John's funeral.

Sitting in a wheelchair, I watched from a distance as Derek held an umbrella for Tabitha. The scene of them standing together while snow fell all around them looked so dreamlike as if they were the prince and princess in some fairy tale.

In the past few days, I asked Derek many times about John's whereabouts, but he never spilled a word.

It wasn't until this morning that I heard the news of John, yet, it was about his death.

I couldn't even get to say goodbye to him before he died, and he never knew that I was his biological daughter.

Derek was ruthless indeed.

It was the punishment for my sin, he said.

But what did I do wrong?

I'd been kept in the dark for so many years. And now, both of my parents tragically died because of me, and I was tormented by guilt every single day.

At first, I felt like the luckiest person on earth.

I had a venerable father, a loving mother, and a caring fi

    Derek's POVTabitha halted and turned when she heard Daphne's heartbroken cry.The servant tried to help Daphne up, but she stubbornly crawled toward me.Her helpless, pitiful appearance reminded me of Tabitha a year ago when she begged me not to reject her.Now I felt so sorry for her."Aren't you gonna do something?" Tabitha crossed her arms, clearly thinking I was ignoring Daphne for her sake."You don't need to care about my feelings. I don't mind." I felt a bit hurt. I reached out and held Tabitha's hand. "Tabitha, you misunderstand. I never had feelings for Daphne. I agreed to make her my Luna out of obligation."Tabitha sneered, "Interesting. So you paid your debt by taking her to bed.""Tabitha, Kyrian is..." I was about to blurt out the truth.But as I closed my eyes, the image of me rescuing Tabitha from the sea that night flashed through my mind. She was barely breathing. A sharp pang of pain struck my heart.The mas

    Derek's POVThe Thunderflame Isles, also known as the Hell Isles, was composed of five islands.This place was like a garbage disposal center, taking prisoners on death row and slaves from everywhere, which also made this place a breeding ground for fighting beasts.Anyone who wanted to survive here had to keep running and keep fighting.All the skilled werewolf hunters in the world had to go through the deadly fighting of the Hell Isles.The rule was that the participants of the new round of trials would be randomly placed on four different islands, starting the wilderness survival mode.Ninety percent of the werewolves were eliminated within three months, leaving only ten percent to advance from four islands to the main island, and finally determining the top three individuals.After the top three passed the test, they would be sold at a high price.Perhaps they would become a high-ranking guard of some royal werewolves in the future, or per

    Alvin's POVNow I finally knew what Alpha Derek was up to. Turned out from the beginning, he wasn't really trying to send Tabitha out for training.He was just looking for a chance to get her injected with M-1.But I had a feeling that this wasn't a good idea."But Alpha Derek, even though Tabitha has a tough past, she has the right to decide whether or not to forget about it. By injecting that drug against her will, you're just pushing her away. One day, when she regains her memories, she's gonna hate you even more..."Alpha Derek raised his wedding ring, the silver band shimmering with a cold gleam in the sunlight."Do you think I haven't thought about all this? Fine, let's forget how hard her journey has been. But just look at her now. Revenge is the only thing on her mind. She has become extremely sensitive, unable to sleep at night. The slightest noise wakes her up, and when she does manage to sleep, she'll keep having nightmares. Plus, those memor

    Tabitha's POVLaughter rang out as I calmly glanced around.There were a total of eleven shifters in the room, nine he-wolves and two she-wolves. Besides me, there was another she-wolf curled up in the corner.Since they were all condemned prisoners, no doubt that they were ruthless.I knew Derek must have had a backup plan, and at least one of these guys had to be on his side.I then found an empty corner to hunker down in. Just then, the man who first spoke to me started striding over.It must've been a long time since he had taken a shower, as the stench he got was almost unbearable.He loomed over me, with one hand pressing on the wall right next to my ear.I frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?""I don't care how you got here. But now that you're on my turf, you gotta listen to me. Once I give an order, you'll have to obey, get it?"I looked him dead in the eye, asking, "What do you want me to do?"Hearing

    Derek's POVMy mood was conflicted. I wanted to grant Tabitha freedom, but it had to be under my control.On the island, danger was unpredictable, and any unexpected event could haunt me for life."Yes, Alpha Derek. I will arrange for her elimination immediately."A few minutes later, Devin ran over in a panic and said, "Something is wrong, Alpha Derek. The tracking device on Tabitha has been turned off."I flicked away the cigarette I was holding and stared at him. "What do you mean?""Not long ago, I checked the device myself and there was no issue. It's not that there's no signal—it's like it just vanished! The device is very durable and hard to destroy, so Tabitha must have turned it off herself."I furrowed my brows. Clearly, this was Tabitha's doing.She guessed that I would eliminate her in this round, and she had already made up her mind to enter the Black Wolf Guild, so she made the first move.I shouldn't have underestimat

    Tabitha's POVIn no time, I threw him over my shoulder and ran forward without a backward glance.From behind, I could hear Jamar cursing up a storm. "Asher, you are so weak. Can't you even handle a woman?"Damn it. You messed up the sure thing."Hurry up and chase after her!" Several people quickly set off in my direction.The guy called Asher suddenly murmured, "Found her."Upon hearing this, I turned around alertly.I saw him slowly getting up, watching his buddies rush off with a smirk on his face. Feeling weird, I still turned around and kept running.I ran as fast as I could, but the jungle terrain was rough and uneven, with the occasional snakes slithering across my path.The sky was darkening, and sweat drenched my clothes.The pursuers were closing in, turning our chase into a tense game of cat and mouse."Run all you want; let's see where you think you're going today!"Seeing that I was physically weak, someone se

    Tabitha's POVMost of Derek's people were like him, quiet and not fond of smiling.But Asher was obviously an exception. He didn't play by the rules, full of evil.Asher got no response. Jamar smoked a cigarette and sneered, blood flowing from his shoulder, "You don't think she would be in the water, do you? Below is a rapid current. If she goes down, she will die."Asher ignored Jamar and continued, "This time I will break through. Tabitha, don't worry. I will do what you want for you."Jamar wanted to say something, but suddenly I emerged from the water with a splash.He was so scared that he wanted to scream, and I gave him a cold glance.All my disguises were washed clean in the water, and I even became fairer than before.With wet hair sticking to my cheeks, I looked around and all the men present were stunned."There was such a beautiful woman in the world!"Asher said, "I had already discovered your disguise.

    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

"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.

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
