Derek's POVI checked those provocative posts. The IP addresses were from all over the world. But those posts were sent at the same time. It must have been done by hackers."This is someone powerful, considering that he/she could escalate the situation so quickly."Alvin's face froze. "Alpha Derek, do you suspect it is the one behind the murder-for-hire?""Yes. Apart from power and money, this person is unscrupulous. It'd cost millions to mobilize hundreds of members from th
Derek's POVI said coldly, "I have extremely important matters to attend to right now. If you have any questions, please talk with my assistant."I was about to leave when Samuel stepped forward and blocked my way."Sorry, Mr. Greenwood, besides the murder case, there are also accusations of tax evasion and other issues within your company. You must come with us for an investigation."At this critical moment, someone was trying to use these things to hold me back.
Tabitha's POVI didn't know the baby, but her crying made me unable to ignore it.Thus, I rushed to the tall man and asked, "Do you need any help?"Maybe it was just my imagination, but I could totally feel his body stiffen.Since he had his back to me, and there was a mask on his face, I couldn't see his expression at all, making it impossible for me to confirm my guess."Sir, don't get me wr
Tabitha's POVThat guy clearly recognized me, but he deliberately concealed himself with his attire.His vibe was anything but ordinary, and he radiated danger like it was his second skin.Yet, it was this very peculiar man who was cradling two infants in his arms, evoking an image of a tiger gently sniffing a rose.Could he be a human trafficker? But what kind of human trafficker would splurge on buying so many clothes for kids?
Tabitha's POVZola was primarily responsible for cooking for me and Derek in the pack and was completely unaware of the online uproar.I was only aware that Rolf had been arrested under seemingly innocent circumstances and had no idea about the extent of the offline unrest.When I was suddenly halted, I looked around in confusion, unsure of what was happening.I noticed people with banners and others carrying buckets of what looked like colorful substances, likely paint or s
Tabitha's POVThe incident was extremely intense, and the police arrived at the scene quickly.By then, the crowd had grown tense and anxious, and many of the onlookers who had unwittingly become part of the disturbance were visibly terrified as they were escorted away by officers.I needed urgent medical attention, so I couldn't provide my statement to the authorities right away.Thankfully, the wound was minor, and with prompt first aid, a serious situation was averted.
Derek's POVI took the shaken Tabitha back home.Standing in the living room, Tabitha paused for a moment before suddenly speaking up, "Derek, today I encountered..."I was busy. My attention was diverted by the constant ringing of my phone, which had been persistent throughout the drive. Just as she began to explain, another call came through, cutting her off mid-sentence."Okay, I'll come over right away," I said after finishing the call and looked at Tabitha. "Tabitha, wh
Derek's POVSally slowly rose from her seat, and only then did I realize that beneath her long wool coat, her legs from the knees down were entirely mechanical."Your legs..." I was taken aback.Sally, her lips painted a bright red, smiled and said, "Surprised? You should have known anything could happen when you left me."Her explanation did little to satisfy me, and I chose not to address it."Tell me, what do you want?" I asked coldly.
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
