Tabitha's POV

The atmosphere in the room grew sour as I finished my words.

Derek's face darkened under my glower.

Kamp, who seemed to pick up on the heavy vibes coming off Derek, blurted out, "Alpha Derek, Alvin just mind-linked me. There's pack stuff that needs your immediate attention."

Derek shifted his gaze from me, ready to leave.

Before he walked out the door, he suddenly threw over his shoulder, "Tabitha, talking to you's a waste of my time."

I cursed inwardly, 'Damn it! I gotta teach him a lesson for insulting me!'

Anger got the better of me, and before I knew it, my claws were out, swiping straight at him.

Caught off guard in the heat of the moment, he failed to dodge in time. I ripped his shirt open, revealing his skin underneath.

He glanced down and then locked eyes with me, rage written all over him.

"How dare you!" he snarled.

I remained silent, just keeping him in a cold, hard stare, ready to strike again if needed.

Derek gave me a sullen glare.

This novel is pure trash. It's hard to follow due to the inconsistency of information. illogical personality of the ML and child. The storytelling is bipolar in plot at best.

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 46

    Tabitha's POVIt'd been a week since I last saw Derek.And the guards from the Black Thorn Pack didn't show up again.So these days, I got to stay in this public werewolf hospital as an ordinary patient.Apart from Orson and the nurses, plus Gloria dropping by now and then, I got no visitors.No one'd been keeping tabs on me.TBH, I couldn't care less about Derek's absence. It was kinda nice to catch a break and just chill on my own.The wound on my collarbone had all healed up. No one could tell there was ever a mark there.I had checked in with Crystal.Good news was, she had already bounced back from the desolation caused by the complete break of the mate bond.And now, she couldn't sense Leo anymore.But when I was alone, Derek's face would pop out in my head from time to time, and it still stung me.Orson became the one I talked to the most.He would come to my ward during his rounds, keeping me updated with his f

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 47

    Tabitha's POV "Dad!" I called out in a panic but got no response. With tears in my eyes, I followed the nurse back to the ward. After placing Dad on the bed, she left. Then, I immediately walked up to him. Fixing my gaze on his face, I noticed he'd changed a lot—his cheeks had hollowed out, and he got heavy dark circles under his eyes. "Dad..." I whispered again, even though I knew he wouldn't answer me. My gaze drifted down to his left hand. It looked thin and aged, a stark contrast from the strong one that used to hold mine on our way home. On the back of his hand was an indwelling needle, and the skin was loose and sagging. In just a couple of years, he'd aged so much... As I looked at him, memories of the past came flooding back. Back then, he was so exuberant and robust. As the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, he was incredibly kind to every pack member. So even the lowest-ranking omegas felt blessed to be part of the pack. No matter if Dad was the killer of Elena or not,

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 48

    Tabitha's POVFacing Derek's probing, I cringed with embarrassment.Begging him for help was the last thing I wanted to do, yet Dad's life was hanging by a thread. I had no choice but to swallow my pride.So I bowed even deeper, my voice soaked in humility as I pleaded, "Sorry for my arrogance. I'm begging you, please tell me where to find Matthew."Derek lounged back and asked coldly with a raised brow, "Why should I?"Biting my lip, I murmured, "I'll do anything, please."A sardonic smile curved his lips.Then I watched as he gestured for a nearby Omega from the Black Thorn Pack.Noticing his action, the Omega immediately walked up to him and bowed respectfully, asking, "Alpha Derek, what can I do for you?""You're done for the day. Now pack up and go back to the pack," he ordered.The Omega nodded and left the grove.When I was gazing at her receding figure, I heard Derek commanding, "Didn't you say you'd do anything? Well, n

    Derek's POVWhen I finished my words, a look of disbelief flashed across Tabitha's face. I knew all this was tough for her to swallow.Going from being the daughter of the Silver Moon Pack's Alpha to becoming my Luna, she'd always been privileged. I bet she'd never face such humiliation.Just when I was expecting her to say no, she nodded in agreement.Well, that was quite a surprise.Since Kamp told me she used wolfsbane to stop her wound from healing, I'd been suspecting she was up to something.I thought she quit because of my warning, but she came to me again just a few days later.So I found fault with her, trying to make her lose her temper. Yet she complied in stride every time.I expected seeing her swallow her pride would make me feel good. But the truth was, it didn't cheer me up at all."Well then, let's get going." I stood up and pulled Tabitha with me.I wanted her to fight back, to bicker with me, to curse me. Anything

    Derek's POV"Shut up, Leo! Can't you see I'm having fun here," I shot back at him.But Leo just howling nonstop, even trying to take over my body.Feeling something off, I regained my self-control.I let go of Tabitha, snapping, "Off you go. But remember, you're pretty much my slave now. Next time I call, you gotta show up immediately.""Got it." Tabitha adjusted her clothes with a panicked look. Then, she bit her lip and asked, "What about Matthew?""I'll let you know once I find him," I replied.She nodded, spinning around to leave.Then something occurred to me, so I called out, "Wait. Did that Orson guy visit you again while you were in the hospital?"Tabitha exclaimed in surprise, "You're spying on me? But there are no members of the Black Thorn Pack in the hospital."I impatiently waved my hand, ordering, "Just answer my question."Tabitha hesitated before finally admitting, "Yep, Orson used to be my attending. So I turned

    Tabitha's POV Dad's even breaths were like a background track to my ramble. Leaning in, I continued in a whisper, "Dad, after Derek rejected me, he coughed up a hefty alimony. I'm putting that cash to work, helping the Silver Moon Pack get stronger. Look how much I've grown." I placed his hand next to my cheek. "When Mom walked out, you told me regrets were necessary in life. And it's the only way we can learn to cherish everything and everyone around us. Since then, I've been treasuring every single thing, yet it turns out my efforts are all in vain." I let out a sigh, heavy as the weight of my heart. "I don't know who on earth is targeting me. Just when I thought I was getting better, someone applied wolfsbane on my wound when I was in a coma. Now Orson's going abroad, and my treatment's gonna be put on hold again. I don't know if I'll still be alive when you come around." I mumbled on all afternoon until the sunlight began to fade. No sign of Dad waking, I couldn't help but ch

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 52

    Tabitha's POV I felt really relieved that shifters from the Black Thorn Pack were as respectful to me as before. Not everyone was as cruel as Derek, after all. I gave Alvin a smile, replying, "Thank you. But I'm gonna wait for my friend." Right after finishing my words, I saw Gloria walking towards me in a flamboyant red dress. She even wore sunglasses! Stopping before Alvin in her high heels, she took off her sunglasses and glared at him, "Are you messing with Tabitha again?" Alvin hesitated before speaking, "Why are you dressed up like this? This is the Moonshadow Fair, not a mating gathering!" I couldn't help but chuckle at Alvin's words. It turned out that Gloria went to get changed in the parking lot. No wonder it took her so long to return. "Even if it were a mating gathering, my mate would be an Alpha, not a Beta like you. Just go and mind your own business!" Gloria was always candid. Alvin shook his head resignedly. "Fine. Just come with me." "Thank you. But we've got

    Tabitha's POVI gave Gloria a tug.Just as Gloria was about to leave with me, Daphne threatened in a low voice, "Gloria, don't push your luck.""You sure I'm pushing my luck? I haven't even made it public that you broke the marriage between Derek and Tabitha."Daphne's face looked particularly pale under the dim light.Gloria was glad to see Daphne's reaction. "I got evidence for everything you did. If you ever mess with me or Tabitha again, I'd consider making them public."Daphne gave Gloria a hard glare, but didn't say anything else.We didn't talk much any more.Because the auction started soon.As the only recipient of the golden full moon invitation, I sat near Derek.I didn't expect to meet Derek again so soon after we parted ways.It was just that we didn't talk at all, just like two strangers.I showed no interest in the auction at first.Until Lysander announced the auction of Hope Ranch.According to Ly

    Third person's POVThe door swung open.Misha stared at Alma with wide eyes, thinking her sincerity had finally moved her.But the next moment, Alma unhesitatingly lifted a basin of water and splashed it over her, drenching her from head to toe. "Stop making a fuss here! Don't try to coerce me with such theatrics. Whether you stay or do something more extreme, it has nothing to do with me. If you're looking for trouble, take it elsewhere, not here!"Misha stood there, stunned. How could Mrs. Atkinson act so unreasonably?"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think this is a soap opera?" Alma sneered, "Now leave before you soil my place."As she spoke, she shielded Hedwig's eyes, "Don't look, or it might ruin your mood."Misha returned, drenched and furious, cursing under her breath, "Why is this old woman so difficult? She didn't have to help, but did she have to throw urine at me?"Rolf pinched his nose and stepped back

    Third person's POV"Alban, I didn't expect forty years to fly by like that. You're still the same as ever. I did say you wouldn't grow taller, didn't I?"Alma remarked with a smile. Alban's face flushed at her words.It had been decades since he was brought here by his mentor after being poisoned.Back then, he was just a teenager, and Alma, in her early forties, was in her prime, looking much younger than her age.Known for her straightforward nature, she had teased him about his height after treating him. Alban had dutifully drunk milk and played basketball in an effort to grow taller, but his height eventually plateaued at around 5'7", making him appear shorter than his younger counterparts like Alvin."Mrs. Atkinson, you're still the same as ever. It's wonderful to see you again. Could you please help my friend? He's been poisoned with the Nine-Heart Wolfsbane," Alban pleaded.Alma sighed, "You've put me in a difficult spot. The N

    Third person's POVIn the misty forest, a massive snake carrying a little girl emerged slowly.A beam of sunlight pierced through the dense canopy overhead, landing squarely on the girl.Her skin was as fair as snow, and her delicate features were strikingly beautiful.Most notably, she had a pair of emerald-green eyes, deep-set and chiseled.Clad in rustic, colorful attire, she was barefoot, with ankle bells woven from threads of five colors, adorned with tiny jingling pendants.This girl was exquisitely beautiful, her features complemented by an aura of ancient mystery.Perched high on the scarlet snake, she lacked the innocence typical of her age, instead bearing a demeanor of superiority, as regal as the Muse herself.The beam of light falling on her shoulder only enhanced her divine presence, making her seem like a saintess from a novel.The girl regarded the group with caution, her gaze inquiring why they had intru

    Third person's POVTears streamed down Misha's face as she said, "You're still thinking about her even like this."Alvin turned to Alban and asked, "Dr. Weaver, what do we do now that Alpha Derek is in this state?""Have they identified the specific toxins yet?""Here it is, here it is!" Kamp approached with the freshly analyzed results."Dr. Weaver, can we save Alpha Derek once we know the components?""No, I can't save him. We need to go to Venomhollow," Alban instructed urgently."What kind of place is that?""It's an ancient village on the edge of the primeval forest. Most of the villagers deal with poisons, much like those special groups in the U.S. studying mysterious biological toxins. To save Derek, we need to find them. Perhaps they have a cure."Misha, realizing how severe Derek's poisoning was, asked, "And what about me, Dr. Weaver?""You're coming too. If we need a blood transfusion, we'll still rely o

    Third person's POVThe figure was slender, clad in a black tight-fitting combat uniform, with distinct body curves—she was a woman!"Who are you?" Golden Shark asked in horror, hastily pulling out his pistol from his pants.Sweat poured from him as the woman approached from the firelight, her face obscured.As he drew his gun, a loud "bang" echoed—a gunshot shattered his hand, sending his weapon clattering to the ground.Seizing the moment, the driver fired back.A silver flash zipped through the air, and the driver clutched his chest in agony, a dagger protruding from it.He crumpled to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.Golden Shark, a man of many dangers, was unnerved by today's bizarre events.As he tried to flee with his broken hand, another "bang" rang out, a bullet shattering his knee.Every time he moved, bullets found their mark. Within seconds, he was hit five or six times, collapsing

    Third person's POVDerek's camouflage uniform was splattered with blood, most of it not his own, with only a minor wound on his arm.He seemed impervious to the pain.For three years, he had heard nothing of Tabitha and had transformed into a cold and bloodthirsty individual."Golden Shark got away? No problem. I've destroyed all his bases. Now he's just a rat scurrying around—where else can he run?" Derek said with a cruel smile."Alpha Derek, your arm is hurt," Rolf reminded."It's nothing," Derek glanced at the small wound, recalling how it had been slashed by a woman who bore a resemblance to Tabitha.Distracted during the firefight, he had stared into her eyes a moment too long.The sharp pain in his arm had struck like a venomous snake bite.The woman was killed on the spot, and he left without a flicker of emotion.For someone accustomed to danger, injuries were commonplace, and he paid the minor woun

    Third person's POV"Jasper, how is it?" Tabitha stood up abruptly.Jasper's expression was grave. "Tabitha, the results aren't good. You need to terminate the pregnancy immediately."Tabitha stared at the tumor data on the report and staggered back a step.She had almost forgotten about the lesion inside her body over the past year, until the cold numbers brought reality crashing back."Could there be a mistake?" Her voice trembled."Why would I lie to you?" Jasper suddenly became agitated. "I traveled far and wide to find herbs for a cure, all of this was for you!"Tabitha hastily apologized, "I'm sorry, I just... I'll accept the treatment."At Jasper's urging, Tabitha was wheeled into the gynecology clinic.When the doctor signaled for her to undress in English, a sudden cramp hit her lower abdomen.She lied about needing the restroom and stumbled out of the clinic.As she passed through the corridor, fam

    Third person's POVLucian seemed to anticipate her question and said, "Go ahead.""The time we've spent together is short. If initially, you helped me look for people out of consideration for Julia and the others on the island, then what about later? You secretly protected me, took care of my children, and even helped me escape without any complaints. We're not even friends, yet you risked your life for these actions. There must be a reason."Lucian had somehow produced a tactical dagger, the blade gleaming coldly.At this moment, he seemed not only mysterious but also like a venomous blade."Why don't you take a guess?" His voice was deep, sending a chill down Tabitha's spine in the night."I don't know, but there's no such thing as unreasoned kindness. Lucian, what do you truly want?"When they first met, Tabitha had offered to pay child support, but he refused."I'm the kind of person who lives day by day, having seen enough of life and death.
