Derek's POV

The 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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 407

    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

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 408

    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

    Tabitha's POVI felt a bit disheartened after missing my first throw."It's alright. We still have plenty of chances.""Okay." I threw a few times in a row. I considered myself pretty strong, so my height shouldn't be a problem.However, each time, the small ball either grazed the branch and slid off or missed entirely. I missed five times in a row.Maybe the Moon Goddess thought I wasn't sinc

    Rolf's POVI was baffled and couldn't understand why this perfectly ordinary tree had become an eyesore for Alpha Derek.Had he somehow bumped into it while shopping?Derek wasn't the careless type, nor was he particularly finicky.Even kids wouldn't have problems with trees, let alone adults.This was so unlike him.

Derek was acting like a whole different person.No one could understand why he had to cut that tree.With thunder rumbling, sparks were flying from the chainsaw in his hands."Alvin, look at that lightning! I'm worried it might hit Alpha Derek. Do you think Tabitha got under his skin again?"Alvin replied with an indifferent look, "I don't know. But it defi

    Third person's POVDerek loosened his grip slightly, allowing her to breathe. "Sorry, I can't see. No idea what's going on," he muttered."You're in a tub. No dialysis here—just using heat to sweat out the wolfsbane. I was checking your condition," Tabitha explained, her tone flat.Derek realized his mistake. "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.

    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.

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. A speckled one landed on her finger, cooing.Hedwig's eyes lit up—her mom was back!She spun around to see Derek lurching toward her, unsteady and lifeless yet driven by sheer will.He reached out, fingers trembling, when his body swayed dangero

    Third person's POVWhy did it have to be Derek?Alvin's fists tightened as he stared at the horizon. Derek had lived with a clear conscience—except for Tabitha. 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

    Third person's POVHedwig couldn't speak, but she was wise beyond her years—quiet, helpful, and already versed in basic healing.Derek wished he could play with her, but time was slipping through his fingers. After eating the fruit she'd given him, he picked up his pen again.All night, he didn't rest.He could feel the life Hedwig had breathed into him fading. His senses were dulling again.But the will was done. Now, he only wanted to write letters—to Tabitha, to his kids, Kyrian, Helios and Ayla.The poison was moving faster than it should've. Every letter cost him energy, accelerating the venom's grip.First, he wrote to Kyrian. "Be a good man. Lead the pack with your heart, not just your claws."Derek's chest ached.

You're gonna be fine, you hear me?!"But at this moment, Derek became calm. "I don't have much time left. It took me a lot of effort to get to this camp. Even if I leave, it would take a day. What's the point of leaving if she comes back right after I go? It's better to stay here. If she doesn't come back in the end, I at least need to settle things, I can't just die without any explanation.""Alpha Derek...""Alvin, go get it," Derek said.Alvin's eyes welled up. "Alright."Alban, with red eyes, said, "I'm sorry, kid. I couldn't help you this time.""Dr. Weaver, I'm already grateful to you. You're right, there are some things beyond our control.
