Tabitha's POV The very day I found out that my life was about to end, Alpha Derek Greenwood, my husband, was staying with another she-wolf. I was lying in the hospital bed when Orson Romero came in with my medical report. "Tabitha, when did you get hurt?" he asked. "A month ago. Why do you ask?" I wondered, knuckles white. Orson was the doctor for the Red Moon Pack and my classmate from werewolf school. "Your abdominal wound isn't healing as it should. For a werewolf, even serious injuries start patching up in about three days," Orson told me, his expression grave. Then he asked, "So how did you get hurt exactly?" "In an attack on my father's pack by rogues. Both my dad and I got injured," I replied, staring at the floor. Dad's business was slow, so I came home for a visit. That was when the rogues raided the Silver Moon Pack all of a sudden. They were extremely cruel and savage. Fortunately, the other pack members escaped serious harm. Only Dad's head and my abdomen
Tabitha's POV Derek's words shattered my pride. I looked at him in shock, unable to maintain my cool anymore. I fired back, all worked up, "How dare you say that! Ever since I became Luna of the Black Thorn Pack, I've been faithfully fulfilling my duties, taking care of the pack members. I didn't mess around with some sorry rogue and break our mate bond! I'm way more worth my salt than you!" "Oh really?" Derek was as cool as ice. He stared at me, hatred glinting in his eyes. "You haven't given Black Thorn Pack an heir, and you have the nerve to claim that you are worth your salt?" His accusation brought a lump to my throat. Derek and I weren't fated mates, so having a baby was a tough gig. But we'd been expecting one. During my pregnancy, I had an accident. Ironically, Derek chose to stay with Daphne and ignored my cries for help. Failing to get immediate treatment, I miscarried. It had always been my deepest pain. And he owned a piece of that. How could he use th
Tabitha's POV When I dashed to the hospital, they'd just finished saving Dad. I rushed to the doctor and asked, "How's my dad?" "Don't worry. Mr. Hartley's out of the woods now. Just keep him from any more shocks." "Got it," I sighed with relief. "Thanks." Dad was still in a coma, so I couldn't ask him what happened. I had to turn to the pack members, "Dad had stayed unconscious the whole time. How come he suddenly came around today?" Silver Moon Pack's Beta quickly replied, "We don't have a clue, either. He came around this afternoon. We wanted to call the pack doctor to give him a checkup, but he wouldn't allow it. He just went straight to the packhouse. After he found the pack in chaos, he passed out." He paused and went on, his tone guilty, "It's all my fault. I should've stopped him." Something felt off. Dad woke up the very same day I decided to divorce Derek? It just didn't seem like a coincidence. Yet I couldn't figure out the connection between the two ev

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
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 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
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
