Third person's POV

The 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 POVOver a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and life on the island had been peaceful, simple, and beautiful.Tabitha's health had noticeably improved.Although the wolfsbane in her body was like an undetonated bomb yet to be eliminated, compared to her previous state of being on the brink of death, there was more hope and anticipation now.During this time, her relationship with Derek had significantly improved, becoming closer and more harmonious.Due to Tabitha's limited energy, most of her time was spent with Ayla and Derek playing together, which inevitably led to some close contact between the three.At this moment, Ayla wanted to go to the water park.Unable to resist her, Tabitha agreed reluctantly.Tabitha sat by the pool without entering the water, so Ayla turned to Derek for help, "Wilmot, please."Derek had been avoiding water activities these days because he had applied a special plant

    Third person's POVTabitha had thought they were in real trouble, considering this was a private pool with no instructors or lifeguards around.If anything happened, no one would notice.Derek appeared out of nowhere, swiftly reaching out one hand to pluck Ayla from the water as if she were a chick, and with the other, he quickly wrapped his arm around Tabitha's waist.After safely placing Ayla on the shore, he turned to Tabitha with concern and asked, "How are you feeling now?""My leg cramped. I just need a moment to recover.""Alright, hold on tight to me."At that moment, Tabitha didn't care about maintaining any proper distance between a man and a woman. She wrapped her arms tightly around Derek's neck, waiting for the painful cramps in her leg to subside.Derek wasn't in a hurry. After confirming Ayla was fine, he just stayed quietly with Tabitha.It took about ten seconds for the spasms in her calf to gradually ea

    Third person's POVAfter Tabitha finished washing up, her mood gradually settled.She reminded herself that she and Derek rejected each other already. Any emotional connection she had with another man was none of his business.It was just a bit of intimate contact—what did that really mean?Was she supposed to live the rest of her life without any new romantic experiences?As she prepared to leave with the children, Ayla suddenly stopped, pointing at a few drops of purplish liquid on the ground. "Mommy, look."Tabitha glanced down, puzzled about what it could be.It looked like mulberry juice, but they hadn’t eaten any mulberries today.The cleaning staff had done their rounds early in the morning, so how could there be such obvious stains at the entrance?When she opened the door, she noticed that the floor had already been mopped, with water stains left behind. The staff had warned her that the floor was sl

    Third person's POVTabitha did the math and realized she had been with Wilmot for almost half a year.From their initial cautious interactions to him becoming like a full-time nanny, taking care of her child without complaint, Tabitha had long stopped being as vigilant as she once was."I..." she started to say something but swallowed her words. The situation was too complex. She didn't know where to begin."It's okay, my lips are sealed. I won't tell anyone else," Wilmot reassured her.Tabitha glanced at Ayla and said, "Let's talk about it later.""Alright."He responded, patient as ever. He had already spent half a year waiting for Tabitha to open up to him, so what was a little more waiting?When Ayla took a nap, Derek sat outside by the flower bed, waiting.As Tabitha came out, he immediately stood up and said, "Ms. Hartley.""No need for formalities, let's sit and talk," she suggested."Of course."

How could she possibly consider getting back together with him?He was being utterly unrealistic.Seeing Derek's silence, Tabitha's face flickered with discomfort as she said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now.""No, people like your ex-husband, I think he couldn't make up for the pain he caused you even if he died a hundred times," Derek replied."I just hope we never meet again in this life, as if we had never known each other," Tabitha added.Derek recomposed himself and asked, "I understand. So we need to sneak back to Seattle without him finding out, right?""Yes, that's why I followed the captain to smuggle myself back before, and encountering pirates was just an unfortunate event. Now that this route is gone, we have to think of another way," Tabitha explained."Don't worry, I'll

    Third person's POVTabitha closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions. After a while, she opened her eyes again and asked, "Were you also involved that night on the boat?""Yes," Derek replied without hesitation."Is Wilmot your man?" Tabitha's voice carried a hint of doubt.Derek paused for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, before slowly answering, "Yes, I was just too worried about you, so I had him go to protect you.""Then do you know what we..." Tabitha's words were cut short as Derek suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road.He turned to look at Tabitha, his eyes filled with sincerity and urgency, and said, "Tabitha, I am very clear about what happened that night. He was there to help you."Tabitha did not believe Derek's words. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she shouted, "Wilmot disappeared as soon as he came back. Forrest told me last night that he was dying. Was that y

    Third person's POVDerek never expected that as soon as Tabitha returned, he would receive a call from Gloria.On the other end of the line, Gloria's voice came through, "Tabitha wants to see you."Hearing this, Derek's heart sank, and he sighed, thinking to himself, 'I knew it. I couldn't hide it from her.'On an evening with snowflakes drifting down, the sky was shrouded in gloom, and the snow fell gently, covering the entire world in a silver-white veil.Tabitha wrapped her coat tightly and saw Derek again.Since her staged death, Tabitha had only seen Derek through news reports.Now, as she approached him, she was surprised to find that he had become much thinner, his figure appearing particularly frail.Derek was dressed in a black coat, leaning quietly against the car. In just a minute, snowflakes began to fall on his head, accumulating a thin layer of white snow.Tabitha took a deep breath, calming her emotions, and then walked towards Derek.Looking at Derek, her eyes carried

    Third person's POVGloria held Helios on her lap, skillfully peeling a grape and feeding it to him, her experience with children evident."Feeling better now that it's out," she said, watching the child play quietly nearby.Tabitha casually inquired, "Why did you hold back on the day we met, only to tell me today?"Gloria had her excuse ready, responding, "You had just returned to the States, and I didn't know your situation. I was afraid it would cause you trouble."Tabitha peeled a few more grapes before setting them aside when Helios indicated he'd had enough.She then looked at Gloria and said slowly, "You weren't afraid of causing me trouble. You were afraid I would leave, weren't you?"Gloria was taken aback, about to argue, but Tabitha saw through her, "Every time you lie, you subconsciously avert your gaze, fearing I'll see through you."Gloria, in a fit of exasperation, covered her face with a blanket, "You two are tru

    Third person's POVDerek's face contorted with pain as he continued, "After Tabitha faked her death, I suspected what had happened. I was torn at the time, wanting to bring her back, but I also understood that doing so would only repeat past mistakes. So, I protected her within my control and waited silently. Gloria, I swear, I won't hurt her again."A hint of pleading appeared on Derek's face as he went on, "I'm asking for your help not out of selfishness. Tabitha's illness isn't fully healed, her body hasn't recovered, and with two children in tow, she wouldn't be able to protect herself if danger arises."Gloria had never seen Derek so humble.She remembered how Derek had always approached her with a condescending attitude four years ago.Derek continued, "You are Tabitha's friend, and your starting point should be considering her safety, right? If I wanted to harm her, I could just bring her back directly, so why would I go through the trouble

    Third person's POVThe two children were a blend of their parents. The girl resembled Derek, while the boy took after Tabitha, which was quite different from their brother, Kyrian.Derek thought to himself that if Kyrian knew he had two younger siblings, he would be thrilled.But when he considered his relationship with Tabitha, he sighed deeply, filled with regret for his past actions.At that moment, Alvin approached swiftly and reported, "Just received news from the island. Noah is taking Ayla away, and Lucian's direction also leads to the island. He plans to take Tabitha away."Derek, with his hands behind his back and a furrowed brow, spoke with a melancholic expression, "Lucian intends to take more than just Ayla—Tabitha as well. She has always sought opportunities to leave me, and this presents her with an excellent chance.""What should we do? Should we stop him now? Otherwise, with his capabilities, if he truly takes Tabitha a

    Third person's POVPlans... Tabitha's original goal had been to find her two children and Jasper.The children were found, but Jasper was without a trace.However, she couldn't search aimlessly without a target.Thinking of Derek's anxious appearance last night, it was clear he still had feelings for her.Gloria's text warning Tabitha to be careful of Derek came to Tabitha's mind again.Tabitha felt she had overlooked some subtle details. What exactly had she missed?It seemed a key point was missing, and once found, it would connect all the events."I don't know. I just wanted to find the children, but I didn't expect to court death. And Derek's attitude towards me is ambiguous. Outside this cabin, I don't know what awaits me," Tabitha said, her face full of entanglement.Seeing her struggle, Lucian took a big gulp of mineral water and mustered the courage to say, "Have you severed ties with him?"Tabitha nodded,

    Third person's POVDerek had painstakingly built up Tabitha's trust by posing as Wilmot.He knew that if she ever discovered his true identity, her anger would be immense, and the trust he had spent half a year constructing would crumble entirely.Derek continued, "Send someone to discreetly protect her without revealing themselves. Ayla is still on the island. Tabitha will go to see her."Rolf nodded in agreement, "Understood."Derek added with caution, "Remember, Lucian has a strong ability to detect surveillance, so do not get too close."Rolf responded, "Yes, Alpha Derek. We will handle it immediately."Turning to Alvin, Derek instructed, "Investigate the identities of those deceased men thoroughly."Derek pondered whether Tabitha's survival had been leaked, perhaps when she was seen on the boat.The assailants had been ruthless, and if not for Lucian's timely arrival, Tabitha could have been in grave danger. He had

She couldn't fathom why he would contact her at this juncture.She couldn't help but feel puzzled.Tabitha inquired, "What's wrong?"Forrest replied, "Wilmot's had an accident. You need to come see him."Tabitha was still trying to make sense of Derek's appearance at the bar when she heard about Wilmot's predicament, and her heart immediately filled with worry.She quickly asked, "What happened to him?"Forrest explained, "Wilmot was already ill recently, and he drank a lot tonight. He's suffered from alcohol poisoning and has been taken to the hospital. He keeps asking to see you, Ms. Hartley. Where are you? Can you come to see him?"Tabitha thought to herself that even if she knew her current location, she couldn't just tell anyone.

Was he a friend or foe?The man removed his hat, revealing the distinctive totem mask beneath.Tabitha stared in disbelief and uttered, "Lucian, why are you here?""Long story. Come with me," Lucian said, grabbing Tabitha's hand and leading her away.They didn't get far before Tabitha glanced back to see Derek and Leopold rushing out of a bar together.Surprise washed over Tabitha. How could Derek be here?Her blood seemed to freeze.
