Tabitha's POVI couldn't get any information from Derek's tranquil eyes. But thinking of Ivonne's cocky attitude, I guessed this Kelsey might be hostile to me, too.Derek seemed worried I'd overthink things.He crouched down and held my hand in his palm. I could actually see the top of his head while sitting in a chair.He then lifted his head to look me in the eye, appearing serious and earnest. "Tabitha, I lived with my aunt, the so-called Mrs. Gutierrez, for some days whe
Tabitha's POVI did lose my memory, but I wasn't a fool. This hallway had been cleared in advance, so how could journalists just pop up out of nowhere?And how could that woman with exquisite makeup and proper attire just trip and fall like that by accident?Apparently, she had told them to wait here.This scheme seemed simple, but it was very effective.But I didn't get it. From what I'd hear
Kelsey's POVThe hand looked fair, but the palm was anything but pretty, showing signs of wear and tear that were hard to miss.People said that a woman's hands were like her second face.From this hand, I could tell that Derek didn't care that much about her. Those calluses indicated that she must've done her fair share of hard work.I extended my hand to her. Being pampered since childhood, I treated myself to full-body care every week. So my hands looked stunning.
Tabitha's POVThe atmosphere was a bit awkward. Kelsey took a deep breath and shot back, "You said you'd marry me, but all of a sudden, you married someone else. When did that even happen? Why didn't you tell me about it?"Her words left me bewildered. I turned my head to Derek, wanting an explanation.The tension in the air was almost palpable.Derek's gaze turned icy as he shot daggers at Kelsey. "Miss Arnold, we're neither friends nor relatives. Why would I have to tell y
Third person's POVAfter Derek finished speaking, he grabbed Tabitha's hand and strode off, leaving Kelsey fuming behind them.Kelsey thought to herself, 'This guy's even more clueless than he was as a kid. Like a stubborn old rock that wouldn't budge, totally unyielding.'Watching the scene of Derek and Tabitha leaving hand in hand, Kelsey was so furious that she gritted her teeth.Just then, a cold smirk crept onto her lips, making her look like a snake lurking in the shad
Tabitha's POVThere were only Derek and me in this hallway, and I could already hear the loud music and the host's voice coming from behind that curtain.Clearly, we were at the scene of some event.I didn't quite understand why Derek had to bring me to the event in such a mysterious way.I turned my head to look at Derek and whispered, "What kind of event is this? You should have told me in advance so that I could be mentally prepared."
Tabitha's POVMy head was spinning, and my heart was racing like crazy.It felt like this moment was something I'd been waiting for forever.I stood silently, watching Derek as he radiated a dazzling light under all the attention.His gaze towards me seemed to hide a dazzling galaxy."In the past, I loved my wife so deeply that I hid her away, obscuring her brilliance. Now, I want to return al
Derek's POVAfter the award ceremony, I led Tabitha to our exclusive seats. As the lights dimmed, Tabitha murmured in my ear, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I had no time to prepare, and I felt like a fool on stage just now."Hearing Tabitha's complaint, I couldn't help but smile indulgently."I wanted to give you a surprise.""More like scare me. My palms are sweaty. I'll go to the restroom."
Third person's POVTabitha's gaze was calm as she asked, "It was his idea, wasn't it?"Her eyes revealed a kind of calmness after despair."Yes, he doesn't want to do nothing. The wolfsbane in your body is spreading rapidly. This is a desperate measure."Chemotherapy is like a high-stakes gamble. If you win, the tumor is effectively suppressed, but if you lose, death comes more swiftly.The mo
Third person's POVTabitha lay on the bed, unsure of who would come next.She just hoped it wouldn't be Derek again.At that moment, the door opened.Orson entered with a meal box containing a vegetable soup and a box of grilled chicken breast."Orson, I can't eat," Tabitha said."You have to. You're very weak r
Derek's POVI dare not approach Tabitha anymore. The only thing I could do was watch from afar outside the ward."Alvin, arrange a DNA test between Tabitha and Kyrian immediately. Once Tabitha sees the results, she will definitely believe me," he ordered.A flicker of complexity crossed Alvin's face as he reminded me, "Alpha Derek, can you hear my thoughts?"I turned to him, my eyes filled with confusion.
Third person's POVDerek stood there, stunned as if he couldn't comprehend what Tabitha was saying at first."Tabitha, I can explain. I never marked Daphne; we are not mates..."Tabitha didn't want to hear anything about Daphne from him. It only made her feel sick."Derek, I said I don't want to know what your relationship is with her. What I'm talking about is my illness."Derek, holding a gl
Third person's POVZander had passed out again.Rolf held him by the collar, lifting him up.Seeing Zander's weak breathing, Rolf sneered, "His wolf is trembling, not even daring to resist. Such a cowardly werewolf, not even as good as our Black Thorn's Omegas. I really don't know what Ambrose is thinking."Rolf felt it was unfair for Derek.As the future heir of the Black Thorn Pack, Alpha El
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
