Tabitha's POV

I blushed and looked away, "The baked lobsters look good. I'll give them a try."

Before I could even pick one up, Derek quickly fed the shelled lobster into my mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

As I bit into it, a burst of spiciness, freshness, and fragrance exploded in my taste buds.

The familiar taste flowed from my tongue to my stomach. It had been so long since I'd tasted this. It was so spicy that I stuck out my tongue and guzzled lemonade.

"Too spicy?" Derek asked.

"A bit, but very delicious." I wasn't used to spicy food, but I enjoyed the challenge. Despite my burning ears, I couldn't resist taking another bite.

Derek shelled lobsters quickly, but not as fast as I ate.

"Slow down."

"It's a pity you're not a night market chef specializing in lobsters with skills like yours."

I drank water and turned back to praise him.

Derek smiled indulgently and said, "Do you really think anyone else in this world deserves to taste the food I make?"

It had been a long time since I ate lobste

    Derek's POVThe recent Tabitha reminded me of the time when we never had any disagreements.Back then, she was innocent and full of passion every day.Her smile was a great morale booster for me whenever I felt troubled or down.My unintentional love confession instantly flustered Tabitha.With her so close, her charm nearly made me lose my composure.Tabitha quickly averted her gaze and said, "These cherries are really big, and they're so sweet."I replied, "I'm glad you like them."It took me quite a while to prepare these foods, but I didn't eat much.After finishing shelling the lobster for Tabitha, I immediately turned to my laptop to handle some business matters.Seeing this, Tabitha couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I still don't know what you do besides being the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack. What's your other work?"I answered succinctly, "Something related to management."Little did she know I was using work to distract myself. After all, she was so adorable, and I reall

    Tabitha's POVThat comment instantly brought me to my senses.Indeed, all the information I'd gathered since I came around pointed to one thing: Derek and I were totally in love.Everything looked like a perfect gift box, flawless and incredibly beautiful on the outside.Even though Derek explained to me that I lost my pups by accident, what about my right hand?While showering, I noticed a bunch of cuts and scars on my body. They were not fatal injuries but rather seemed like scratches, grazes, or bruises.Apart from that, there was an unhealed cut on my abdomen.And it looked kinda dark around the edges.My palms were covered in calluses, and my figure looked nice but not in a fragile way.Most of those injuries seemed fresh, which didn't match up with Derek's claim that I was just a housewife. I must've been hitting the gym hard to get this body and all the injuries.Suddenly, I remembered that there were only Derek and a couple of pack guards on my contact list.Plus, my phone loo

    Tabitha's POVIn the early morning, I woke up in the dazzling sunlight. I slowly opened my eyes. There was a moment of confusion.I blinked and was in a daze at that moment.I wondered if I looked a bit silly now.No matter what, I took a look around first.My vision gradually became clear as I glanced blearily about me."Did you sleep well last night?"I looked at the man beside me with a faint smile on his face.His handsome face made me feel as if he were the most powerful leader in the werewolf tribe, irresistible in his charm.It took my breath away to look at him from such a close distance. His facial features had no flaws whatsoever, no matter from which angle I looked at them.When he didn't smile, he was as cold as ice, but when he smiled, his whole demeanor became gentle.I parted my lips slightly and said, "Well, it's not bad."From what he said, it seemed that I always had poor sleep in the past.But yesterday, I slept through the night.Perhaps it was because of the faint

    Tabitha's POVI subconsciously stepped back but forgot that there was an open wardrobe behind me, which now forced me into an even smaller space.My hands pressed against Derek's chest, and my face felt hot and flushed.It was a pity that I couldn't ask someone with my phone. What should I do now?Derek gently scratched the tip of my nose with his finger. "It's cold outside. You should wear more clothes."With that, he let go of my hand and stepped back. Finally, I could smell the long-lost fresh air. "Okay."I breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, I thought he was going to do something.Derek had already left the cloakroom. "Breakfast is ready.""Okay, I'll be there right away."After the heat on my face cooled down, I hurriedly went downstairs to have breakfast.After breakfast, I followed Derek out.Looking at the million-dollar car parked outside, I swallowed and said, "Is this your car?""Mine is yours."I nervously got in the car. He didn't seem like coveting my money at all!C

    Tabitha's POVTurned out, it was totally not what I expected. The things Dad left behind were truly priceless to me, but they didn't have much practical value.The analysis of that netizen was wrong. Derek wasn't after my cash at all.What else could it be that he wanted from me?After spending most of the day at Hope Ranch, I still didn't recall anything.Before leaving, Tucker came over. I was gonna say something about taking Tucker with us, but the words got stuck in my throat. Subconsciously, it seemed like there was a voice telling me that Derek wasn't a dog person."What's wrong?"I pointed at the dog by my feet and asked, "Can I take him home?"Tucker was pretty old and probably didn't have much time left. So I wanted to stay with him while I still could.Derek answered promptly, "Alright. I'll have someone bring him back. Let's continue our date."I wondered, "Date?"He smiled slightly and took my hand. "Yeah, what's the problem? Is it illegal for mates to go on a date?" He op

    Tabitha's POVMy heart skipped a beat as I turned to Derek. "What are you talking about?"Derek continued to gaze into the distance, his expression indifferent. "People will all die eventually. If there're any accidents to me in the future...""There aren't that many accidents. Don't jinx it," I said, feeling suffocated. I didn't want to hear the word accident, and my hand instinctively placed on my lower abdomen.Derek quietly took me to a nearby shopping mall. We wandered around, had a meal, and watched a movie, just like any ordinary couple.These were all the things I wanted to do in the past. Even though I didn't remember them anymore, there was a sense of fulfillment.As night fell, snowflakes began to drift from the sky.Derek walked out of the mall, one hand carrying shopping bags and the other holding mine.After watching the movie, it was already past nine o'clock. In addition, it was super cold, so there weren't many people outside.The trees and surroundings were adorned w

    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

    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

    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

    Third person's POVThe car slowly emerged from the underground garage, breaking through the darkness into the open air.The streets were adorned with mistletoe trees, people bustling about in preparation for Christmas."It's been years since we celebrated together," Derek said suddenly, his voice tinged with nostalgia."Yeah." In those days when survival was all that mattered, Tabitha hadn't had the luxury of thinking about holidays."It's the last day of the year. Where are you taking me?" Tabitha glanced at Derek."You'll see."The car wound its way out of the city, into the countryside. Snowflakes danced in the air, painting the world in white.The road grew steeper, the landscape wilder. Soon, there were no buildings in sight—just endless trees and snow.Tabitha gripped the armrest as the car jolted over uneven terrain.
