Derek's POV

I glanced at her with some surprise and said, "I thought you weren't interested in us, but I didn't expect you to be well-informed."

Andrea had to tilt her head up slightly to meet my gaze, and after hearing my words, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.

In my memory, she was still an unfamiliar presence to me, but I never expected that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye.

She lifted her hand as if to touch my face, but stopped just short of making contact.

Her feelings toward me seemed to have always been complicated.

I knew from the start that she had hoped my birth would make that man change his mind, but instead, she received his heartlessness, which in turn made Andrea harbor resentment toward me.

She had never fulfilled the responsibilities of being a mother, to the extent that now, standing in front of her, I felt like she was a stranger.

Andrea reluctantly withdrew her hand, her expression somewhat crestfallen. "I suppose Elena and you must have a low

    Derek's POVIf this statement were spoken by someone else, it might seem a bit heartless, but for a heartless mother who once threw a three-year-old child from upstairs, it was all too typical.She didn't even care about her own child, let alone other people's children.From a certain perspective, Andrea and Ambrose were the same kind of people.They were both extreme egoists. In their world, there was no existence of others except for love.Andrea elegantly brushed a strand of hair away from her ear."She's been coming around here since two years ago, sometimes to keep me company, sometimes to give me a leg massage. I didn't stop her because I saw she was bored."I said helplessly, "I think it was because you were bored."My mom was never known for being the epitome of a virtuous wife and mother. Instead, she was more like an antagonist straight out of a story.In order to make Ambrose change his mind, she did a lot of things that hurt his crush back then.In the end, she pushed Ambr

    Andrea's POVDerek's gaze became sharper. "What else do you know?"I looked at him and said earnestly, "Given your reaction, it seems I've hit the nail on the head. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just purely to see you this time. But I have to tell you something. Our family has many flaws, such as being obsessive and single-minded. Once we fall in love with someone, it's for life. It's a double-edged sword. Your father and I never taught you how to love. I don't want you to repeat our mistakes. Love is never one-sided wishful thinking. The thing I regret most in my life is what I did to your father, which caused you irreparable pain."I looked at Derek, with a whirlwind of emotions in my heart. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would one day say such words to him."I will take good care of her," Derek paused and spoke again. "Since you know Madam Rose, can you help me find out about Tabitha's background?""Oh?" I was somewhat surprised."She was not John's daughter, and th

    Tabitha's POVBefore meeting Andrea, I had imagined her in my mind as a crazy woman like a devil.After we actually met, I realized that I was wrong.Andrea was a sorrowful woman who had never experienced love throughout her life."You are too persistent." I might have forgotten the past, but I could empathize with Andrea as if I had also done similar things before.Andrea said, "The meaning is similar. The past me was not really a qualified mother. At this stage in life, I've gained some insights. You are happier than me as you have received his complete love. You are the one that deserves to wear this bracelet the most."I looked at her in surprise and asked, "So you don't oppose us being together?""Why oppose it? You two are such a good match. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to offer you a word of caution. While Derek is undoubtedly gifted, being raised in a family like ours has imprinted some significant flaws in his personality. Ordinary people may not notice it, but it's evident

    Tabitha's POVThe encounter with my mother-in-law went unexpectedly smoothly.After sending Andrea away, I kept staring at that beautiful bracelet.Witnessing the passage of time, it became more beautiful.I did not wear it on my hand. Instead, I just examined it closely. Deep down, I had a faint feeling that it should not be mine."Do you like it?" Derek's voice suddenly came from behind, startling me.I was so engrossed that I didn't even hear his footsteps."Well, it looks pretty good," I replied.Derek picked up the bracelet and gently said, "Let me put it on for you."I instinctively avoided it. "Maybe next time. Such precious items are usually worn on important occasions, and I'm not used to wearing jewelry in daily life. It just feels so inconvenient."Derek hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything."Alright, it's your call.."Although I spent every day with Derek, I only had a good impression of him. I didn't have feelings for him at all.I even felt like I w

    Tabitha's POVA new day dawned, and I was awakened by the sound of birds outside.The warm sunlight streamed onto the soft bed, and I rubbed my eyes. Several colorful birds were perched on the terrace pillars outside.Some were chirping with their mouths open; some were preening their feathers. Their presence set off the distant blue sky and white clouds, and the whole world became very gentle.I rubbed my eyes and for a few seconds, my mind was in a daze. It was only then that I realized I had already been in another country.The climate here was mild, characterized by year-round humidity and lush vegetation, in contrast to Seattle's typically dry and chilly weather.I quite liked it here, getting up from the bed to wash up. Every time I faced this mansion, I always had a feeling that I was living like a princess in a castle. Thunder Pack was indeed wealthy.As I walked out of the room, I opened the door and was greeted by many smiling faces. "Good morning, Luna Tabitha."I was start

    Derek's POVI came to my grandfather Elliott's yard and found him holding Tabitha and saying something."Grandpa, what are you talking about?" I approached.Tabitha looked surprised and said, "So, you are Alpha Elliott."Tabitha continued to explain, "Alpha Elliott, please wake up. I am Tabitha, not Shana."Elliott stared at her for a while, his fingers tightening around her wrist."It's impossible. You are clearly Shana. You can't deceive me. What are you talking about?"Tabitha was a little helpless.Just when Tabitha didn't know what to do, I took a few steps forward and pulled Elliott's hand, "Grandpa, this is my wife. You have mistaken.""It's pure nonsense. How can Shana be your wife? And you, you little brat, why are you calling me grandpa? I don't even have a son, let alone a grandson!"I looked at Elliott, feeling sorry for him. After all, from my childhood to adulthood, despite his strictness, he always gave me enough love.Elliott was the most important person to me. It was

    Derek's POVIt would be the best thing if I could know Shana's whereabouts from my grandfather, so I wouldn't have to search for answers like finding a needle in a haystack.Elliott huffed and puffed, "What Shana? My beloved woman is always Erin. Don't slander me! If she ever finds out I'm talking about some Shana, she'll climb out of her grave tonight to give me a piece of her mind.""Grandpa, I wasn't joking with you. You really did just grab Tabitha's hand and call her Shana."Elliott snorted, "Are you out of your mind? You actually believed my words when I was not quite right in the head. Then would you believe me if I told you I'd met Ultraman?"I was helpless. This old man really left me with no choice.Elliott had really lightened up compared to when he was younger. He was so lively now. It made me a bit overwhelmed. He talked and acted like a mischievous old kid.He soon ignored me and reached out to hold Tabitha's hand."I told you to come back ages ago. What's so good about

    Derek's POVNoticing that neither of us was keen on having kids, Elliott seemed anxious. But since we weren't rushing into it, he couldn't exactly pressure us either.A person as intelligent as him would definitely find a way from other aspects, so he temporarily changed the topic."Alright, if you don't want to have kids, then so be it. But speaking of time, my birthday is coming up soon. I haven't celebrated it since Erin passed away. This year, since you're here, we can have a proper party. I'll leave this to you, Tabitha."Tabitha shook her head quickly when she heard this. "I don't think that's a good idea. With Mom around, not to mention the fact that I can't take over her role as the hostess, I just arrived here and I don't really understand these things. I definitely won't be able to do it well."Celebrating Elliott's birthday was not as simple as finding a place to have a meal.It was very troublesome, from entertaining guests to coordinating every detail.The Thunder Pack wa

You're gonna be fine, you hear me?!"But at this moment, Derek became calm. "I don't have much time left. It took me a lot of effort to get to this camp. Even if I leave, it would take a day. What's the point of leaving if she comes back right after I go? It's better to stay here. If she doesn't come back in the end, I at least need to settle things, I can't just die without any explanation.""Alpha Derek...""Alvin, go get it," Derek said.Alvin's eyes welled up.

"I'm not sure about that."After all, Hedwig was Derek's spitting image, but she wasn't certain about Hedwig's father."Regardless, he already has other women by his side. He might have forgotten your mother and could build a future with someone else. Even so, do you still want to save him?"Hedwig pursed her lips and didn't respond. Alma stroked her hair, "Poor child, you should know how hard your mother worked to escape him. If he discovers you two are still alive, he'll imprison her again. Do you want that?"Hedwig shook her head gently."Then pretend you don't know him. Your mother and the others aren't in the village. Whether he survives is up to luck," Alma sighed, "Your mother suffered too much. She was barely alive when she gave birth to you. Cherish the life you have now."Hedwig nodded.Strangely, after Derek drank Hedwig's blood, about half an hour later, his vision and hea

"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

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

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

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
