Derek's POV
Upon 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 expressionDerek'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
Tabitha's POVDerek's mother, Andrea, also had an Alpha bloodline. Her family's Thunder Pack was situated on the outskirts of the southern city.Here the mountains were beautiful and the waters were clear. Everywhere I walked was covered with various vegetation.Not long ago, there should have been a light rain. The water vapor on the road surface had already evaporated, but the air was filled with the refreshing scent emitted by the vegetation after the rain.The lanterns of this pack were also very unique. Some were like strings of stars falling from tall plants, and among them were also many lanterns shaped like mushrooms, pumpkins, or various small animals and fairies.Rather than a pack of wolves, it was more like humans stumbling into another fantastical world.When we arrived at the Thunder Pack, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.The Thunder Pack was large, surrounded by estates. It was difficult to see clearly at night, but one could
Tabitha's POVI had already prepared for the worst. Anyway, I was just here to say hello. If she didn't like me, then I would just turn around and leave.However, before Andrea could speak, a familiar voice rang out first. "Mrs. Greenwood, has Derek returned?"A familiar figure appeared at the corner of the second floor. It was Kelsey, whom I had recently seen in my home country.Derek heard the sound, exuding an aura of Alpha, with a layer of coldness enveloping his face."What did you come here for?"Kelsey hurriedly walked up to Andrea and affectionately took hold of Andrea's arm, saying, "Derek, I have been accompanying Mrs. Greenwood for the past two years."Now I finally understood where her confidence came from. It turned out she was waiting for me here.Kelsey was playing the most important card, Mrs. Greenwood.It seemed that Mrs. Greenwood only asked to meet Derek this time to match Kelsey with him.Now I understood where t
Third person's POVBefore Tabitha could even comprehend, Andrea had already left, leaving behind a graceful figure for Tabitha.Tabitha blinked at Derek and lowered her voice as she asked, "What exactly is your mother's attitude?""Try the authentic cuisine. Let's go," Derek didn't answer her question and led her to the restaurant.Andrea had already taken a seat, her gaze fixed on the intertwined fingers of Derek and Tabitha, freezing for a moment.Kelsey came over with a bowl of soup and saw Derek pulling out a chair for Tabitha. He sat down only after Tabitha had sat down.He placed the appetizers in front of Tabitha, who was sitting far away.If he indulged Tabitha outside, it was highly likely that it was just a facade to please his wife. But today, there is no one else here, so who is he putting on a show for?There was only one explanation, and that was the way they interacted, just like an ordinary couple.Taking a closer look at
Derek's POVTabitha's behavior was somewhat peculiar as she slightly lowered her head.I noticed that her ears seemed to have turned red.After all, her recent demeanor suggested a hint of shyness or emotional unrest.She ordered a bunch of dishes, but she just picked at them and didn't really eat much.She had a small appetite and got full quickly.
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
