Third person's POVNo one knew better than Ambrose how deeply Andrea had been committed to him.He could still remember the way Andrea displayed those precious artworks she had collected from all over the world in front of him as if they were her treasures.At that time, Andrea, with her innate pride, tried hard to restrain herself, with a corner of her mouth that couldn't help but rise."Ambrose, look! This is the work of a master. I went through a lot of trouble to get it.
Third person's POVAndrea and Tabitha's low-key demeanor was in stark contrast to Phoebe and her son.Initially, Phoebe was a bit nervous. When no one was around, she quietly asked, "Zander, how did you manage to persuade Alpha Elliott?"No one knew Alpha Elliott's stubbornness better than Phoebe. He was an oddball who could easily forsake even his son, impervious to any tactics.How did Zander manage to persuade him with just a few words?
Derek's POVI stared at him, unleashing my Alpha aura and suppressing him. "Finally got you."He instinctively wanted to bite down on me. I seized the opportunity to jam the gun handle into his mouth. My voice was cold and biting, "Still trying to end it all? Dream on!"When his plan failed, the man tried to elbow me in the chest.I'd been failed before. But this time, I was fully prepared and didn't give him a chance at all.
Derek's POVI knew that for someone like him, they weren't afraid of death or pain. They were only afraid of losing consciousness.The overhead lights illuminated Black Fox's face, and I could see beads of sweat forming on his forehead.When the cold syringe pierced his skin, it felt to him like an ant bite. Yet, the veins on his hands bulged. He clenched his fists, struggling to break free.Even a powerful werewolf could feel fear when faced with an unknown drug.
Derek's POV"Don't go!" Black Fox roared hoarsely, but that boy couldn't hear him at all.I smiled lightly, but my heart remained cold. "What a pure and sunny child. He was orphaned at a young age, not even knowing you are still alive, yet always facing every day positively. Such a child is going to be in danger just because of you. It's really hard."Black Fox's eyes turned scarlet, no longer as calm as before.He cursed at me angrily, "Come at me if you have anything. I'll take whatever you've got. He has no idea about any of this!"I grabbed his collar and sneered, "Then why didn't you come at me? Why did you harm a child? My son should have known all about this? Isn't it too hollow to say it now? Tabitha was pregnant, how did you treat her in the pouring rain? Why should I be merciful when you hurt other's families without any hesitation?"Black Fox licked his dry lips, clearly realizing that this was their fault. He had no room to defend himself."I'm begging you, spare him, plea
Third person's POVDerek's voice was like a death knell, echoing in Black Fox's ear as he heard the boy's hurried footsteps through the phone."Selena, don't do anything foolish! Where are you?" the boy exclaimed."Stop! Stop, please!" Black Fox shouted desperately.The boy suddenly paused. "I thought I heard something. Did you hear that?""It's not the time for that now. We haven't found Selena yet.""You're right." The boy climbed over the railing. He expected to find Selena just on the other side, only to discover no one there. The narrow ledge he stood on was only fifteen centimeters wide, and one wrong move would send him plummeting to his death from the fiftieth floor.Unaware of the danger, the boy asked, "There's no one here. Are you sure she's here? Have you mistaken?""I'm not mistaken." The man's expression darkened, like the grim reaper himself."I never had a sister. I've been after you all along," he added.The boy, inexperienced in such situations, asked with his eyes f
Third person's POVDerek sat in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest. "Go on, tell me how many attacks you've launched in total.""The task he gave me was to kill Kirian, but then you hid him, and I couldn't find an opportunity. So he told me to find a way to kill Tabitha. After the Black Wolf Guild's attack, he became more vigilant. I never found a chance to act. Until he suddenly contacted me, asking me to tamper with the car, trying to stage an accident. You know the rest. I sensed something was off and set up this trap in the abandoned factory by the sea."After Black Fox finished, Rolf stepped forward and punched him in the chest. "You've said a lot, but it's all bullshit. Don't make me get rough with you. Tell us the important part. Who is he?"A trace of blood ran from the corner of Black Fox's mouth. "It's not that I don't want to say, he's just too cautious. I've never seen his face. We usually contact each other by phone. But he uses a voice changer, so I ca
Tabitha's POVLost in my thoughts, I was startled by the sudden interruption.So I jumped off the swing.I straightened up and looked at the man in front of me warily. My brows furrowed and said, "Stay away from me."Instead of keeping his distance, the man took steps closer to me with casual scrutiny on his face. "Having a beautiful mate like you, Derek is truly lucky. If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to cherish you. I wouldn't betray you and make you sad."My brows furrowed even more, "What are you talking about?"I'd heard from Jenny that Zander had been looking for opportunities to cause trouble for Andrea and me.We had been staying indoors, and now he finally had his chance.He approached me with a smug expression."Tabitha, why pretend? Everyone knows that Derek broke off your mating bond to marry Daphne. I understand that women often hope that men will return to the family and let bygones be bygones. You must feel quite bitter. How can Derek father a child with someone else
Third person's POVOrson felt a chill down his spine as the current Derek seemed like a wild beast about to break free from its chains.Tabitha was the last chain that could hold him. Once something happened to her, who knew what he would become?Orson's wolf had already sensed a strong danger and kept reminding Orson in his mind to stay away from Derek."Don't you think you're being too arbitrary? At least you should ask Tabitha herself for her opinion about this."
Third person's POVTabitha's test results came out overnight. She did have cancer.What was worse, her cancer had metastasized to her head. Now she had an early malignant tumor in her brain.The oncologists gathered for a consultation, and their conclusion was consistent with Orson's. Treatment wasn't recommended.Derek's gaze was extremely cold. Suppressing his anger, he said, "You haven't even tried. And you're already giving up?"
Derek's POVShe even tried moonlight therapy once!I had no idea. I felt a lump in my throat, and with difficulty, I said slowly, "Was it those days you took care of her?""Yes. She was wasting away as she spent her days in and out of the hospital, working several jobs to support John. Later, because her wound still wouldn't heal after a long time, she came to the hospital for examination. She conducted moonlight therapy by herself deep in the forest. I simply brought her food and water.
Third person's POVTabitha was taken to the emergency room that night.Kamp was at the Black Thorn Pack in Seattle. When he heard the news, he felt he was gonna lose it.His premonition that had been haunting him came true. He flew overnight.Derek stood outside the emergency room. His shirt was stained with Tabitha's blood, but he wasn't bothered at all.His eyes were bloodshot.
Third person's POVDerek was stupefied. Andrea's face turned pale, and even Alpha Elliott found it unbelievable."No way! Tabitha is so healthy. How could she have been poisoned by wolfsbane?"Orson took Derek's hand away and continued to explain with a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes."Two years ago, when you and she rejected each other, she had a check-up at the Werewolf Hospital. At that time, the wolfsbane had already caused her body to deteriorate. Judging from th
Derek's POVI rushed over to Tabitha at once and prevented her from falling down.But I couldn't stop the blood from pouring out of her mouth.Leo howled frantically in my mind.He seemed to sense Tabitha's weakness.Everyone in the banquet hall was in a panic, rushing around anxiously. "Doctor! Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
Third person's POVThe ongoing drama was no longer the center of attention. Instead, the woman at the door caught everyone's eye.The expressions of Alpha Elliott and Andrea changed drastically.How did Daphne manage to be here?They had already taken measures, not giving Daphne a chance to come near Tabitha.Who helped Daphne?
Tabitha's POVPhoebe was still trying to defend herself, but her voice was so weak in the face of solid evidence.She could only tell Ambrose over and over again how much she loved him.Ambrose held her hand, a hint of disgust appearing in his eyes for the first time. "Stop talking. Let's just go."No matter what kind of person Phoebe really was, what she did today was against everything Ambrose thought she was and also embarrassed him.
Ambrose's POVI frowned as I recalled. Back then, I was swamped with work every day.Phoebe would always come to me for money every few days.She used all kinds of excuses, such as her father getting sick, her mother losing her job to take care of her father, or something happening to her younger brother.She claimed that her father was in the intensive care unit, which alone would cost a huge amount of money in just one day, not to mention all the various expenses.
