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 POVThough he was just a child and didn't fully understand what had happened between Tabitha and Derek, he knew one thing—he loved Tabitha and wanted her to be happy."If this makes you happy, I don't mind. I'm just scared... scared you'll leave me," Kyrian said, his voice trembling slightly."Silly boy, didn't I tell you? You and your siblings are my most precious treasures. I love you so much, and I'll visit you often," Tabitha said gently.Then, she noticed the cord around Kyrian's neck and gently pulled it out. It was the small lock she'd designed for him years ago."I made this for you. It's engraved with my hopes for you, 'May you grow up happy and healthy every day.'"Kyrian reached out his hand. "Mom, you can't lie to me. You have to come see me again."Their fingers hooked together in a pinky promise, and Tabitha smiled softly."Okay, I promise. When you're a little older, we'll live together, alri
Third person's POVIn such a short time, Kyrian had already figured out his place in Tabitha's heart. He knew exactly where her soft spots were and used his natural childlike tears as a "weapon" to try to keep her from leaving.Though this might not make Tabitha happy, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him.What parent could say no to a child crying for candy?Especially when that child was the one she owed so much to, the one she wanted to give the entire world to.But he didn't want the world. He just wanted Tabitha to stay."I..." Tabitha started to speak, but Kyrian cut her off."Mom, I love you so much, and you love me, and my siblings too. I already don't have a complete family. Do you want my siblings to grow up without a dad, only imagining what he looks like, envying other kids' happy families? Mom, haven't you heard? A happy, complete childhood can heal a person for life, but an incomplete one takes a lifetime to heal."
Third person's POV"Back then was back then. Now is now. But I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll always love you," Tabitha said softly, gently stroking Kyrian's head. Her hand brushed through his soft fur, the warmth of a mother's love flowing through her touch.Kyrian's voice was small, tinged with hope. "Mom, can you spare a little love for Dad? He's actually kind of pitiful."His eyes showed sympathy for Derek. In his heart, both his parents were his greatest loves, and he longed for a complete family."There are plenty of people in this world who love your dad. He doesn't need mine," Tabitha replied, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness. Despite her lingering feelings for Derek, the pain of the past made it hard for her to forgive."But to Dad, you're like oxygen to a fish. A fish can't live without oxygen," Kyrian said, snuggling closer to Tabitha.He pressed his body against hers, as if clinging to her love would make it st
Third person's POVKyrian obediently climbed over and was immediately pulled into Tabitha's embrace.From here, they could see the beautiful scenery outside. Kyrian realized that the training grounds looked completely different from this angle—probably because his mother was by his side.Tabitha smiled softly, her voice warm. "I chose your name. You were born with all my love.""Mom, you must have loved Dad a lot back then," Kyrian said, looking up with curious eyes."Yes, very much," Tabitha admitted honestly. "No matter how I feel about your dad now, you are my precious child, born after seven months of carrying you. Your dad took you away, and I didn't even know you existed. That's why I missed so many years of your life. But you need to know, I thought about you every single day. There wasn't a moment when I didn't miss you or wonder about you. I love you more than anyone in the world."Kyrian's mood brightened, a happy smile sprea
Third person's POVKyrian watched nervously as Tabitha cleaned and dressed his wounds.He didn't dare breathe too loudly, his eyes glued to her every move. His gaze was filled with dependence and longing.Every now and then, he'd glance quickly at Derek, his eyes questioning, desperate for reassurance that this wasn't a dream."Dad, is Mom really back?" His voice trembled, carrying the fragility and hope unique to a child.Derek reached out and gently tapped his nose. "Silly boy, she's really here."Kyrian's tense body relaxed slightly, and a shy smile crept onto his face.When Tabitha applied the ointment a little too firmly, he winced but stayed silent.His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was afraid that if he cried out in pain, Tabitha might leave.In his heart, he thought, As long as Mom stays, this pain is nothing.Kyrian had always been well-behaved, but n
Third person's POVAzazel was furious.To be honest, he hadn't planned to take things this far with Kyrian.He showed Kyrian some respect, but deep down, he knew most of the children here were orphans with no one to rely on.He'd been provoking Kyrian because he refused to fall in line. After all this time, Kyrian still wouldn't listen to him.Azazel had wanted to teach him a lesson and assert his dominance in front of the others.But Kyrian was tougher than he'd expected. Instead of backing down, he even fought back with a fierce determination that burned in his eyes.What's wrong with him? Why won't he give up?"You're dead, brat," Azazel snarled, raising his fist to deliver a crushing blow to Kyrian's head."Stop!"Kyrian closed his eyes, bracing for the impact his small body couldn't possibly withstand. But the blow never came.A hand shot out, gripping Azazel's wrist.Everyone turned to see Tabitha, breathless from running.Thankfully, she'd made it in time.What she didn't know
Third person's POVKyrian had barely taken a few bites when a tall boy walked over and flipped his tray onto the floor, sneering, "Go on, eat that."Tabitha's fists clenched in anger. "How can they bully him like this? He's already struggling!"Derek held her back. "Tabitha, don't act rashly. This place isn't just about physical training for him."Tabitha frowned. "Then what else is he here for?"Derek explained, "For people like us, growing up means training alongside peers who'll become your most trusted allies—like Alvin and Rolf. These are the people who'd take a bullet for you on the battlefield. If Kyrian grows up sheltered, handed a team of strangers, do you think they'd truly respect or protect him? One wrong move, and he could end up dead."Tabitha's anger began to fade. "What are you saying?"Derek's tone grew serious. "He's not just training his body. He's learning to lead, to earn the loyalty of these kids. They'll b
Third person's POVThe car slowly emerged from the underground garage, breaking through the darkness into the open air.The streets were adorned with mistletoe trees, people bustling about in preparation for Christmas."It's been years since we celebrated together," Derek said suddenly, his voice tinged with nostalgia."Yeah." In those days when survival was all that mattered, Tabitha hadn't had the luxury of thinking about holidays."It's the last day of the year. Where are you taking me?" Tabitha glanced at Derek."You'll see."The car wound its way out of the city, into the countryside. Snowflakes danced in the air, painting the world in white.The road grew steeper, the landscape wilder. Soon, there were no buildings in sight—just endless trees and snow.Tabitha gripped the armrest as the car jolted over uneven terrain. After what felt like hours, they reached a remote valley deep in the mountains. Even their p
Third person's POVTabitha had been his most promising student. As a freshman, she'd become his assistant, shadowing him in clinics and even observing surgeries.He had placed his highest hopes in her, demanding perfection during her training.To him, Tabitha was a once-in-a-generation talent—he was merely her starting point, not her ceiling.Dr. Fairbanks had been both a mentor and father figure to her. And she had let him down."Is Dr. Fairbanks… doing alright?" Tabitha asked quietly.Alban's voice turned cold. "No. He says he once had a student who made him proud—until she threw away her future for a man."Tears welled up in Tabitha's eyes.She still remembered the day she submitted her withdrawal letter. Dr. Fairbanks rushed to the school, still wearing his surgical scrubs with a scalpel clutched in his hand.At first, he thought something catastrophic had happened—had her family gone bankrup
