Third person's POVDerek had been trying for a long time to extract information from Alpha Elliott but to no avail.According to various sources, Shana was believed to have sought refuge near the Black Thorn Pack, using a false identity. However, she disappeared during the chaos that ensued.Derek was growing increasingly frustrated as Jasper had yet to hear any news. If this continued, Tabitha would be a dead end, the only difference being whether she died sooner or later.
Third person's POVAfter a week in the hospital, Tabitha checked out.She had recovered enough to move around on her own. But her red and white blood cell counts were critically low.She felt dizzy every day. She was too weak.However, leaving the hospital was a relief for her.Tabitha returned to the Greenwood family's villa. Jenny pushed her wheelchair and said, "Luna Tabitha, Alpha Derek ha
Third person's POVSeeing Tabitha feeling down, Jenny comforted her, "You haven't been eating well for all these days. Andrea cooked for you since you finally have an appetite."Tabitha nodded, not taking the wheelchair. She slowly made her way to the living room.Andrea, wearing an apron, said, "Sit down, the meal will be ready soon."On the dining table, an exquisite white jade vase held freshly picked flowers. Every leaf was vibrant and fresh.
Third person's POVKamp had been busy with Tabitha's affairs and finally uncovered a top-secret piece of news.His assistant approached with a bottle, "Kamp, Andrea sent this. She wants you to test what kind of dog food it is.""Dog food?" Kamp glanced at the bottle. It was too small to hold dog food. What kind of dog can be so small-appetite with such little dog food?"It might be some kind of dog supplement. They can't determine it, so they asked you to test it."
Third person's POVIf Tabitha were to remember everything from the past, she would undoubtedly despise Derek even more.However, Andrea's words made sense. Tabitha's sudden deterioration was due to M-1. If there was a way to halt this drug, perhaps it could control the worsening of her wolfsbane.Despite his reluctance, Derek knew he had to act. He couldn't bear to see Tabitha suffer any longer."Alright, I will have the doctors reassess. Please take care of Tabitha."
Third person's POVTabitha was sent to the hospital again for checks that day. Kamp glanced at the cancer spectrum and various CT and MRI data that came out.Orson's brows furrowed tighter as he looked, "The chemotherapy she underwent two years ago was very effective, but this time the effect is minimal. The cancer cells have begun to invade other surrounding tissues. Tabitha's body can't withstand chemotherapy anymore. It will only increase her physical burden and accelerate her death."This statement was almost a death sentence for Tabitha. Derek clenche
Third person's POVSpeaking of which, Andrea and Megan were cousins. It seemed that due to their blood relation, both had once been highly blind when it came to love."Seems you've finally cured your eyes and stopped chasing after a piece of broken stone as if it were a treasure," Megan said, holding a fan and lazily fanning herself.Her every gesture exuded charm.After a long time without meeting, her first sentence directly hit Andrea's sore spot.
Third person's POVA flicker of curiosity flashed in Megan's eyes, "Oh? Why do you suddenly need this?""It's pretty ridiculous, though. My foolish son, Derek, blinded by love, stubbornly used this drug on his mate. However, he didn't know she had wolfsbane and now, she got cancer. His mate is on the brink of death. You've been studying this drug for years. For the sake that we're all family, you must help me."Upon hearing this, the fear and tension on Elena's face instantly vanished, replaced by a more sinister expression.
Third person's POVDerek's rationality teetered on the brink of collapse, nearly losing control again and again.His eyes, now bloodshot, struggled against the overwhelming discomfort within him as he spoke with difficulty, "It's not necessary.""Your current state, stimulated by the drug, could lead to more serious issues if not alleviated. My advice is to find a woman. It's the most direct and effective solution without side effects," the doctor insisted.Derek's crimson eyes fixed on the doctor, his thin lips bitten to the point of bleeding, as a deep, husky voice forced its way out of his throat, "I said it's not necessary! Just give me the medication."The doctor sighed in resignation, thinking to himself that he had encountered another stubborn one, unwilling to listen to reason."Alright, but I won't be responsible for any side effects. And given your condition, one dose definitely won't be enough. You'll need two."Derek gritt
Third person's POVTabitha couldn't discern his facial expression, but she could palpably sense his physical distress. "Then you..." she began."I'll find a way to handle it myself," he responded.With that, further lingering seemed like an implicit invitation to something more.Like a nimble fish, Tabitha swiftly retreated back into her room and swiftly locked the door.Worried that he might lose control under the influence of the drug and become dangerously irrational, she moved the desk and chair from the room to brace against the door.Exhausted from her efforts, she slumped down onto the carpet.Her fingers gently touched her lips where he had kissed her.Honestly, she was too shocked at the time to have any particular feelings.It was the first time a man other than her husband had kissed her, and the sensation was both unfamiliar and strange.Oddly, when his hands touched her body, she didn't feel a strong
Third person's POVSuch a tall and strong man, yet at this moment, he behaved like a petulant puppy, causing Tabitha's body to tremble slightly.She was well aware of the vast difference in strength between them.In this situation, it was crucial not to provoke him excessively. Otherwise, should Wilmot be enraged, his intense possessiveness could erupt, and the situation would be truly irretrievable.Tabitha took a deep breath and, seizing the moment while he still retained a shred of rationality, began to reason with him patiently, "Wilmot, I am willing to help you with other matters, but I truly cannot do this.""Cannot? Is it because you still think of him?"Derek was on the brink of losing his sanity, enduring the surging desires within, seeking to probe the deepest thoughts of Tabitha's heart through this opportunity.Her reluctance to let others approach—did it mean she still harbored love for him?Tabitha frowned t
Third person's POVThe woman must have feared Derek would not comply, so she increased the dosage of the drug.Derek had thought that if he just endured it, the effects would pass.But as time went on, the drug's effects became more intense, and his body felt increasingly strong, as if his brain was floating, losing all sense of balance.His wolf was also affected by the drug.He became manic and irrational.His hot breath sprayed on Tabitha's ear, causing her body to tremble involuntarily, and this sensitive touch left her at a loss.Her expression was stern, and she firmly refused, "No, I... uh..."Tabitha's eyes widened in shock as Wilmot's lips suddenly pressed down on hers without warning.Her heart pounded wildly in her chest.Although she had only loved Derek, and they had rejected each other, she was now free, and even if something happened with someone else, it wouldn't be illegal.But she had no i
Third person's POVUsing his height advantage, Derek reached out and covered the wall switch with his hand, preventing Tabitha from turning on the light.He really didn't want her to see him in such an embarrassed state."Tabitha, trust me, I'm fine. Go be with Ayla," he said, trying to reassure her.The more he tried to hide the truth, the more concerned Tabitha became.She was certain he was hurt and just trying to protect her from worrying.With Derek blocking her from turning on the light, Tabitha reached out to touch him, wanting to find out where he was injured.Derek, already on edge, felt like he was about to lose control."Don't touch me," he managed to suppress his voice."Then tell me what's wrong with you," Tabitha insisted."I'm fine," he repeated.But Tabitha didn't believe him. The amount of sweat on his body indicated a serious injury. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such pain.But where
Third person's POVDerek swiftly glanced behind him, only to realize that Rolf and Alvin had vanished without a trace.He had been able to drink without a care in the world because he knew they were there, watching his back.But now, at this critical moment, they had inexplicably disappeared, leaving Derek to fall into the trap this woman had so meticulously laid.The woman before him, confident in her enchanting beauty and alluring figure, was certain that all men would be bewitched by her charm and lose their reason to her allure.However, when Derek turned to look at her, she found no trace of desire in his deep-set eyes.There was only boundless authority and piercing coldness washing over her like a tidal wave.Though Derek sat there calmly, with her standing tall and elegantly, the difference in their auras was like a vast chasm separating heaven and hell.Derek resembled a mighty wolf king sitting majestically on his thr
Third person's POVRolf stared at Derek's back, a wave of concern rising in his heart.He was well aware of Derek's past, how Derek had promised Randall to make Daphne the mate of the Black Thorn, yet his heart and soul never strayed from his true love—Tabitha.In the world of werewolves, emotional fidelity is of utmost importance, and Derek's commitment was like an ancient vow, etched in his heart.Unlike himself, Rolf, though without a mate, would occasionally indulge his primal desires at specific gatherings of the werewolf community as a subordinate of an Alpha.However, Derek had poured all his emotions into Tabitha alone.Rolf pondered that if they never reconciled, Derek's inner world would likely plunge into endless loneliness and darkness, like a werewolf bereft of the moonlight, wandering alone in the dark, silently enduring the torment of unrequited love."Alvin, look at Alpha Derek lately, he's always gloomy. This ca
Third person's POVRolf was as excited as a hungry man seeing food, clamoring, "Alpha Derek, just look at these. They're incredibly cool for close combat.""Alpha Derek, I want this one and that one," he added, pointing at various items.Alvin shook his head at Rolf with a sense of helplessness.Derek picked up a compact ladies' pistol, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically described it, "You have a great taste. This is the latest model with minimal recoil, perfect for ladies.""I'll take this one and this," Derek said.Then, he pointed to a small, portable dagger that was ideal for concealment.After browsing for a while, he headed towards the medicinal area.The place was bustling with people, each acting as if they were in a second-hand store.In the United States, many drugs are regulated, but on this ship, there were no constraints—only transactions driven by money and desire.As long as you had enough mo
Third person's POVDerek reached out and gently patted Ayla on the head.Over time, Ayla had grown increasingly close to him, their relationship indistinguishable from that of a father and daughter, except for the absence of the word "Dad.""Here's a freshly baked cake. Enjoy," he said.Tabitha shook her head with a hint of helplessness. "Don't spoil her too much. Too many sweets can lead to cavities.""It's just a small piece," Derek replied, his tender demeanor a stark contrast to how he treated strangers.Tabitha was puzzled, wondering if she was mistaken, feeling that Wilmot seemed different from when they first met.But upon reflection, it made sense. Who would reveal their true self without reservation upon first meeting?"Have all the arrangements outside been taken care of?" she asked."Yes, everything is handled," Derek responded.He added, "By the way, here's the layout of the cruise ship. Take a look."
