Third person's POV

He stood in front of the mirror. His fingers gently pinched the thin edge of the facial prosthetic, slowly peeling it off.

As the prosthetic came off, a pair of chiseled features gradually revealed themselves.

They were a cold, stern gaze, a high-bridged nose, and sharply defined lips that exuded a unique charm.

His skin, already fair, was nearly translucent from lack of sunlight, appearing even paler under the lights.

His shirt collar was slightly open, hinting at his collarbones.

He stared silently at his reflection, like a vampire emerging from a medieval castle.

He was elegant and noble, yet distant and aloof.

With a light step, he moved into the steamy, hot shower area.

Fine droplets from the showerhead rained down on him.

After a moment, black liquid flowed slowly down his skin, snaking across the white floor like a mysterious ink snake.

He closed his eyes, allowing the water to was

But given her unique condition, it's dangerous if the fever persists."Fortunately, the warship was well-equipped with medical resources. Derek stayed by her side, waiting for the fever to subside on its own.The sky was still dark, the grayness outside matched only by the roaring of the sea, clearly audible.Derek lay down next to Tabitha. His eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at her.Although they had been in close proximity, he had to pretend to be someone else, not even daring to look at her directly, which had raised her suspicions more than once.His strong mental resilience allowed him to deceive Tabitha.Gently, he reached out to touch Tabitha's tranqui

    Third person's POVJust then, a soft "knock knock" sounded on the door, like a basin of cold water dumped over Derek.He quickly disengaged from Tabitha. What was he doing? Taking advantage of her sleep to do such a thing.If Tabitha were to wake up at this moment, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.Derek strode to the door, a hint of tension on his face, "What's up?"Rolf rubbed his eyes. Was it his illusion? Did Derek's face seem flushed?"Uh... the doctor asked me to bring this fever reducer. It's time for Tabitha to take it.""Alright." Derek took it silently, "Any news of Lucian?""The sea is rough at night, and the drones can't be controlled. We haven't found his whereabouts yet, but don't worry. He can't get far with Kyrian.""Understood, inform me the moment there's any news.""Got it."Derek closed the door again and walked back to Tabitha's side. She still showed no signs of waking up.

    Third person's POVLittle Ayla found the complex emotions of adults hard to comprehend, her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.Derek's emotions were like a raging storm within him."Sweetheart, you must have suffered a lot over the years, haven't you?" he asked.Suffer?Ayla didn't know what suffering meant. All she knew was that being with Helios and Lucian was happiness."By the way, are you hungry?" Derek quickly ordered various delicious foods and drinks to be brought over.Being a child, her eyes lit up at the sight of the spread.However, just as she was about to dig in, her excitement dimmed, and she softly said, "Helios."Derek gently stroked Ayla's head, "Don't worry. I've sent people to pick up Helios. You'll be reunited with him soon. Eat up, there will be food for Helios, too."It was evident that the child was very hungry, but she ate slowly, with an innate elegance in her demeanor.Alth

    Third person's POVTabitha's face turned anxious as she quickly grasped Derek's sleeve, asking, "What do you mean? He was taken away? Where to?""Ms. Hartley, please calm down. Let me explain slowly."He pulled out the surveillance footage, "Look, this man took him away. But from the video, it seems like Helios went willingly. I think he knows this man."Under Derek's soothing words, Tabitha gradually quieted down and watched the video over and over again.Although the background was chaotic, Helios seemed to go voluntarily, indeed. The person who took him away was Lucian.Knowing that Lucian had taken Helios, Tabitha felt a bit more relieved.After all, in such a chaotic situation, Lucian wouldn't have known she was on the ship. If he jumped down to save Ayla, both children might have been in danger.He must have seen someone else had already gone to save Ayla. Since he had snuck onto the ship, the consequences would have been

    Third person's POVThe bond of natural kinship was something that could not be severed, no matter that Ayla had never met Tabitha before.Lucian had shown Ayla pictures of Tabitha.She was a woman with a warm smile and hair, unlike the emaciated and haggard figure she was now.Yet, Ayla recognized her as her mother at first glance.Tabitha's reaction mirrored Derek's, holding Ayla tightly as tears streamed down her face.These were tears of joy from their reunion. Holding her child brought back the memories of the hardships she endured the day she gave birth to them.She had thought she would never see her children again, and now here they were, grown so big and soft. How could she not be moved?Ayla found it increasingly strange that the handsome man who held her a few days ago cried a lot, and now her mother was crying too.She didn't understand.Gently, she wiped away Tabitha's tears and blew on her eyes, sayin

    Third person's POVTabitha's brow was furrowed. Her only concern was Helios.Although Lucian was with him, she worried about what could have happened during their hasty escape in the heavy rain.She knew her worries were futile. She couldn't reach Lucian if she arrived in Seattle."Alright, I'll stay here for a while," she agreed.With Ayla by her side, Lucian would surely find a way to contact her. The most pressing matter was her health.Ayla was a very well-behaved child. She endured hardships without complaint and was not picky about food, lacking the petulance and unreasonableness typical of her age.Tabitha was happy spending time with her but felt heartache more than anything.Such well-behaved children often had a history of hardships. Those who had weathered storms became more understanding.The more trials they faced, the more well-behaved they became.Tabitha didn't blame Lucian. He had saved her child,

    Third person's POVTabitha's thoughts drifted far away. Her mother had left when she was very young.She grew up in a pack without a Luna, and not only that, she didn't have a mother.Although her father had always been caring towards her, providing for her daily life and guiding her psychologically, raising her to be graceful, optimistic, and kind, there were still many things a father couldn't make up for.For instance, during parent-child sports events at school, many activities required the participation of both parents.From childhood, whenever she saw other children holding their mothers' hands, eating meals made by their mothers, and showing off clothes carefully chosen by their mothers, no matter how excellent she was, she would secretly envy those children with the company of their mothers.In her mind, if she ever had children, she must be responsible for them, love them well, and never let her children grow up in a family without

    Third person's POVAs soon as Tabitha stepped out of the house, the biting winter wind hit her face like a knife, stinging her skin.Just as Derek had said, everything had been arranged."Tabitha, the helicopter is ready. You can leave now.""Thank you.""However, the helipad is a bit far. You'll need to walk there.""That's fine," Tabitha waved it off.Wrapped in a thick down jacket, she buried her face in the hood. She felt as though someone was watching her, but she didn't dare look back.She was afraid that if she turned around, she wouldn't be able to leave. In her heart, she kept repeating, Don't look back. Just keep walking.Behind the curtains, Derek held Kyrian, who was crying silently. Kyrian reached out toward the empty air, as if trying to grab the hem of Tabitha's coat."Dad, I don't want Mom to leave. Will she abandon me?""No, she loves you. How could she abandon you? She's just leaving for a

    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

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.
