Tabitha's POV
Unfortunately, I didn't feel the same. I was trembling with fear."I finally made it this far, Derek. Let me go. I have something else to do," I said.But he didn't relent. I tried to fight back, but Derek's strength was overwhelming.I was quickly held tightly in his arms, and he said, "Nothing is more important than your safety.""This is my path. If you truly love me, you should support my decisions.""It is precisely because I love you that I will not let you go down such a dangerous path, Tabitha. I would seek revenge for you in my way. All you need to do is return and fulfill your role as the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack."I stared at him in disbelief. "What are you saying? I have already said that I wouldn't accept you. It's impossible.""Nothing is impossible in this world."Just then, Alvin and Rolf appeared. I noticed Alvin holding a syringe.My intuition told me that it was not something good."What do yTabitha's POVI was fighting like hell to break free, but Derek knew me too well.I couldn't move one bit in his arms.It took me so much effort to come this far. I was so close to entering the Black Wolf Guild and shaking off Derek for good."No! I don't wanna lose my memories."Derek, don't make me hate you."What about the antidote? There's gotta be one, right?"I yanked on Derek's collar, but he just smirked stubbornly. "No, Tabitha, there's no turning back for me now."I fell back onto the ground, staring at my battered palms.Only I knew how difficult it was for me to come this far. I endured so much pain, and there were times when I thought I wouldn't make it through.It was those painful memories that kept me alive, and after all that struggle, here I was.I became stronger. And fear didn't own me anymore.I broke free from the cage I'd built around myself in the past, but now, Derek wanted to shove me back into tha
Tabitha's POVCrystal roared, "No, we couldn't lose these memories! They're our treasures, a part of our lives!"Of course, I knew that, but there was nothing I could do other than watch helplessly as those moments gradually slipped away, swallowed by darkness."Tabitha, be happy.""I promised to ... protect you well. Goodbye, Tabitha.""Sweetheart, don't worry. I'll protect you and your pups.""You're so beatiful, sweetie. I'm sorry for abadoning you for so long. I love you.""You are so amazing, Tabitha. You got the highest score on the test again.""Tabitha, I like you. Can we date?""Hi, little girl, here for bread again? Same old deal, right?""If my grandson dares to bully you, I'll definitely kick his ass.""Have you thought about studying abroad? You are the most talented student I have ever seen.""Kiddo, what's your name? I'll come find you."The faces of those I knew appeared before me as if bidding me farew
Tabitha's POVFeeling the warm sunlight pouring in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, I woke up, squinting my eyes, only to find myself on a big, fancy bed.My mind was a complete blank, and I felt a slight headache.It was like something had deleted everything from my brain, making me feel empty and hollow.I couldn't help asking myself inwardly, 'Who am I? And where am I?'Suddenly, I heard the sound of rushing water. Out of curiosity, I looked towards the bathroom, wondering, 'So someone's in there? Who is it?'I threw off the covers and got out of bed, stepping barefoot onto the soft plush carpet.Even though it was freezing outside, the room felt as warm as a spring day because of the heating.Looking around, I noticed that this room was decorated mainly in warm colors.The bed looked like a fluffy cotton candy, and the sofa, a white cloud.On the wall hung a massive photo of a girl in a wedding dress falling into some g
Tabitha's POVWith a slight pull, Derek took me into his arms.As he had just finished his shower, I could smell the scent of body wash on him.When I pressed my palm against his chest, his body heat felt like it was burning me up.Leaning his head towards mine, he cooed in my ear, "You've got a mole on your inner thigh."His breath, together with the refreshing scent of mint, brushed against my skin, making my cheeks flush red.I couldn't help asking my wolf inwardly, 'He actually knows such a secret of mine!'So he's really my mate?'Sadly, my wolf wasn't responding to me at all, and I couldn't sense the mate bond between me and him.Just then, I noticed Derek's expression soften as if he had thought of something.He playfully tapped the tip of my nose, saying, "Alright, let's have breakfast now. After that, I'll tell you everything, okay?"With that, he took my hand and led me out of the bedroom. The hallway was lined with ma
Tabitha's POVJust then, my gut told me not to go in.My hand froze on the doorknob. But the next second, Derek's hand covered mine, and he whispered softly in my ear, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."Together, we opened the door. Inside, there were no sealed-up monsters or bloody scenes.It was just a pink room stripped bare of all its furniture, leaving just a carpet.Judging from a few baby toys in the corner, I guessed this used to be a nursery.The moment I came in, a heavy feeling settled over me, and I felt like crying.I walked through the vacant space until I stopped at a spot.Slowly, I crouched down. Even though I couldn't remember anything, my body seemed to know where to go."What used to be here?"Derek, who looked surprised by my behavior, sat down next to me and answered, "A crib."I surveyed the empty room, and a thought popped into my head."So we used to have kids?" I asked."Yes."I stamme
Tabitha's POVDerek kept reminiscing about how we met, got to know each other, and fell in love.I couldn't remember much, but I could still pick up on some hints from his words."I must've been crazy about you, right?" I asked.Derek looked at me with gentle eyes and chuckled in agreement, "Yeah. Do you remember something now?"I shook my head. "I just feel that since I was willing to give up my studies when I had a bright future ahead of me back then, I must've been head over heels for you."Derek paused, a complex expression on his face.Then, he stared out at the swirling snow and murmured, "Yeah. If it weren't because of love, why would you give up your dream? Tabitha, I swear I'll love you forever. I'd bet my life on it."He tightened his embrace, making it hard for me to breathe. I had to push him away with all my strength.Just then, I noticed my right wrist felt kinda stiff, and there was a scar on it. "My hand..."Derek let
Third person's POVDerek walked briskly out of the door, deliberately lowering his voice. "Hey.""Alpha Derek, has Tabitha come around? How is she now?" Kamp pressed on.Tabitha had been out cold for three whole days since she was injected with M-1, and she should have come around by now.Derek provided a brief update on Tabitha's condition, and Kamp let out a sigh of relief."That's good to hear. I was worried..."Kamp had been feeling uneasy lately, recalling a year ago when Tabitha had a high fever and dangerously low white and red blood cell counts.Usually, such low levels could mean she had undergone treatment to get wolfsbane out of the body, but later Tabitha's medical examination report showed no problems, so Kamp didn't ask about it.M-1 was quite unusual. Besides affecting pregnant women, the elderly, and children with weak immune systems, it could also be lethal for werewolves poisoned with wolfsbane.Every now and then, Kamp
Tabitha's POVIt was late at night, and the Omega had already gone home.The villa was left with just Derek and me, and we had nothing to do."Are you sleepy?" he asked.I shook my head quickly. "No, not at all. I'll watch TV for a while."My awkwardness was palpable. Despite being married for a long time, I still felt like a stranger to Derek. The idea of being intimate with him felt as awkward as meeting someone from an online relationship in person.Noticing my discomfort, Derek calmly said, "Okay, I'll be here with you."As I watched soap operas, Derek typed rapidly on his laptop.Occasionally, I glanced at him. With his gold-framed glasses and the soft yellow light above, he looked more warm than usual, his cold features softened by the glow.He seemed to sense my gaze and looked up.Wearing a black silk pajama with a high-quality sheen, the satin fabric glowed softly under the lamp. He adjusted his glasses with his slender midd
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.
