Derek's POVTabitha didn't seem to be bothered. On the contrary, she looked quite calm, which showed a stark contrast compared to the woman on the floor.The moment the door closed, Sally seemed to understand why I chose Tabitha.But it was already late.The door shut her piercing voice out.She had no future anymore. She destroyed with her own hands a marriage with a man who truly loved her.I didn't let go of Tabitha's hand, not even after we went back to the car.Since Tabitha woke up, the things I was worried about didn't happen, but Tabitha's personality had completely changed.She was way too calm. Even when she saw other women approaching me, she no longer showed any jealousy. She had lost the sense of possessiveness she used to have.Yet the good news was that she no longer rejected my kindness towards her.Overall, her emotions were very stable, so stable that it even scared me a little."Tabitha, don't you have any questions for me?"In the darkness, I initiated the conversa
Derek's POVThe public opinion changed all of a sudden.To the surprise of Internet users, Lisa turned out to be someone who frequently intervened in other couples' relationships and acted as a homewrecker.She was no good kind. Besides, all the people who she had bullied before spoke up.Some were diagnosed with depression and had to spend their whole life to cure themselves.Some committed suicide. And their grey-haired parents showed the photo of their kid in front of the camera, listing all the wrongdoings Lisa had done to their kid.Lisa's teacher, classmates, and neighbors all stood up to tell the story of her life.Makeup artists, stylists, and some basic-level staff in the showbiz all complained about Lisa's arrogance and rudeness.What was most jaw-dropping was that several cleaners and waiters all claimed to have been defrauded by Lisa in the same way.The conflicts between Lisa and Tabitha were exposed that day, and even the au
Rosago's POVThe dark room had no trace of light. As a man 1.8 meters tall, I, Rosago, was forced to stay in a corner.Suddenly, I heard a click.I was like a mouse in the dark, always silently observing the movements outside, even the slightest sound could catch my attention.I pushed my glasses up on my nose and scrambled towards the door.My heart was filled with anticipation, thinking that someone finally came. I wondered if they were going to set me free.As a ray of light shone through the door, I instantly felt a glimmer of hope.After I made the clarification video, I was not forced to do anything, yet at the same time, I was short of both food and water. It had been over 10 hours since I last drank or ate anything. I was dying of thirst.Finally came someone. Would I be able to leave now?A tall man's figure appeared at the door, and I quickly spoke up and asked, "I have said everything you wanted me to say, so you should let me
Derek's POVUpon hearing what I said, Rosago seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. I saw disbelief written all over his face."Alpha Derek, what did you say..."Rolf carefully walked in with a large basin, wearing professional gloves in advance to avoid getting injured."I value justice. I will accidentally spill the acid on you. If you can dodge, it's your lucky day. I'll let you get away. But if you can't, don't blame me."A trace of fear flashed in Rosago's eyes. I had already cut him with a knife. Thus, if the wounds were contaminated with sulfuric acid, he would suffer a hell lot.Rosago knelt on the ground, begging frantically over and over again, banging his forehead down."Alpha Derek, I'm sorry! I've learned my lesson. The sulfuric acid like that could be fatal!" I kicked him away.The aura of Alpha was faintly emanating, putting Rosago under tremendous pressure.I stood up straight, looked at him with an indifferent expression
Derek's POVThe Greenwood Group staged a remarkable comeback, with its stock price skyrocketing overnight and its various industries booming.Customers would wait at the entrance of the chain supermarket even before dawn. Jewelry stores, clothing stores, even real estate and online shopping, in the past, only had tens of thousands of traffic. Today, online customer service received nothing but demands to put products on the shelves.The main focus was on a kind of crazy shopping.Those malicious netizens who attacked us before realized that they had caused such harm to the two of us, that Tabitha was almost disfigured, and that the Greenwood Group was almost bankrupted. Thus, they, along with others spontaneously went to all places related to Greenwood Group to consume.From childhood to adulthood, the one thing I never lacked was money. The Black Thorn Pack was very wealthy, to the extent that I couldn't even fathom.Only I knew that the wealth accumul
Tabitha's POVUpon hearing Derek's words, I fell silent, and my mind became filled with uncertainty about the future.I felt like a nun in the church, seemingly devoid of desires for the earthly world, without love, or hatred.Derek told me to study medicine, and I agreed.I didn't have any particular preference. Whether it was studying medicine or studying business, both were fine.Derek didn't get upset when he didn't receive a response from me. He held onto my earlobe and said earnestly, "Tabitha, I am different from you. In my eyes and my heart, the past and the future are all about you."After a passionate moment, Derek planted a kiss on my forehead and then left gracefully.I watched him leave with Tucker in silence. My mind was peaceful, too.I didn't hate Derek, but I didn't have much affection for him either.I was getting ready to leave Seattle. There didn't seem to be anything worth lingering here.For the remaining days,
Tabitha's POVAfter more than ten hours of long flight time, the plane finally landed smoothly at Sydney Airport.I took off the eye mask, stretched, and moved my stiff hands and feet.The temperature in Sydney is completely different from Seattle. It is currently snowing heavily in Seattle, while Sydney is warm like spring, with a warm and fresh scent in the air.As soon as I got off the plane, I felt a completely different atmosphere.There had already been a person in a black uniform at the VIP gate, welcoming the arriving guests. "Alpha Derek, I hope it has been a pleasant trip."His gaze fell on me, and he first looked me up and down before slowly speaking, "Miss Hartley, I hope you've enjoyed your trip, too."I did not miss the middle-aged man's gaze as he scrutinized me. A woman's innate sixth sense told me that he did not like me.Of course, I didn't want to prove anything either. I just nodded at him as a way of greeting and then left
Third person's POVA while ago, when Tabitha just woke up, she asked such questions. At that time, Tabitha was like a lost little lamb, speaking in a delicate and weak manner.Unlike now, she exuded confidence all over her body in the past. She pursed her lips and added, "It doesn't matter if you don't like her. Anyway, I wasn't planning on marrying her."After saying that, Tabitha walked out of the restaurant with big strides, and Derek watched her carefree figure and fell into deep thought.Without the constraints of children and family, she was surprisingly free.She had plenty of sleep on the plane, and when she arrived at the new place, she was in a good mood, so even her footsteps became much lighter.She hopped and skipped in front, just like a little girl, without any trace of the dullness from the previous year.As they passed by some shops selling local specialties, she would even instruct Derek to go and buy some delicious local products
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
