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 POVAs Tabitha searched online, her mind was filled with Derek's affectionate gaze.However, the moment she hit the search button, her body instinctively shuddered.Subconsciously, she was afraid.Tabitha wasn't sure what she was afraid of. Was it the fear that the search results would confirm what Zander had said?Especially in the second before the page was about to pop up, Tabitha felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.Soon, the page loaded.Amidst her pounding heartbeats, there was no information found regarding Derek and Daphne.Tabitha deleted the search content and tried again, searching separately.Since Derek was the CEO of the Greenwood Group, there was a brief introduction about him on Wikipedia.Under the spouse section, one name was clearly written. It was Tabitha. It also mentioned that she was his secret wife, which had only recently been made public.Tabitha let out a sigh of relief. What was she thinking?Zander was clearly making up storie
Third person's POVThis man matched the description of Adrian given by Black Fox.Derek raised his eyebrows slightly. His face was disguised with a beard, making him unrecognizable from his usual demeanor.With a flick of his wrist, he scattered the chips beside him and replied with a ruffian's swagger, "Let's do it."Adrian, though ordinary in appearance, had eyes that spun like a rat's.Upon
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.
Third person's POVAmbrose turned around and looked at Phoebe, saying in confusion, "Aren't you the one who kept insisting on leaving?"Phoebe's expression froze for a second, and then she immediately burst into tears, saying with a grievance, "Do you think I want to stay here? I just can't bear to leave Zander behind. He has suffered so much with us over the years while we were building our career."Then she walked up to Alpha Elliott, and crouched down, grabbing his hand as she cried, "Elliott, do you know how much we've suffered these years? I know I co
Third person's POVPhoebe was gagged, and she stared at Derek with wide eyes.Obviously, she found it hard to believe. After all, she was an elder!"Phoebe!" Ambrose quickly pulled the towel out of her mouth.Phoebe instinctively was about to continue crying, yet Derek's cold gaze silenced her at once. She then pointed at Zander on the ground and said, "Save Zander first."Ambrose knew that it
Third person's POVTabitha was already suffering from excruciating pain. And then she was aggravated and verbally insulted by Zander, which made her so pissed off.Derek's hug made her feel like an abandoned puppy finally seeing its owner.She reached out and hugged him, saying, feeling utterly aggrieved, "Finally, you're back."Derek gently caressed her face. Though she had makeup on her face, he could tell at a glance that something was off with her expression.
Third person's POVAt that moment, a group of people clad in suits and polished leather shoes made a sudden appearance at the entrance, swiftly drawing the crowd's gaze.Rolf and Alvin had noticeable cuts on their faces, but they stood behind Derek with solemn expressions and respectful attitudes.Derek stood tall and imposing, a fresh scar marring his brow, yet it did nothing to soften his icy demeanor. His commanding presence was as intense as a force of nature, crashing over like a tidal wave.
Third person's POVZander never expected that someone would actually record this scene and expose it without any regard for the prestige of the Greenwood family.Orson's recording ripped off his fig leaf right on the spot.The dreams of all the hopeful young ladies present were shattered. This seemingly virtuous man turned out to be such a beast behind the scenes.Andrea couldn't hold back anymore. Her short temper flared up instantly.
