Tabitha's POV

The hopping dinner party was stifling to me.

I noticed that Derek gazed at me and Jasper occasionally and that something was hidden in his eyes.

I was worried that Derek might misunderstand and even find fault with Jasper at the sight of our interaction.

Feeling a bit uneasy, I turned around, preparing to leave.

But Jasper, seemingly sensing my intention, caught up with me.

"Tabitha, are you hungry? Let's go grab something to eat." Jasper's voice was gentle and concerned.

I looked in the direction he pointed, and it was a restaurant.

The buffet restaurant offered a wide variety of food and separate private rooms.

It could isolate external disturbances, including Derek's surveillance.

Considering my situation, it seemed like a good choice.

So I nodded in agreement.

Soon we arrived at the cafeteria. The abundant viands, ranging from fresh seafood to exquisite desserts, made people drool.

I chose some vegeta

    Tabitha's POVI immediately understood why someone tried to drug me.As I took the Nightshade Grass, I couldn't control my shift.When the effect wore off, I would return to human form. But by then, my clothes were already destroyed.It was in Derek's castle, so I had no spare clothes with me. If Jasper and I were seen naked by others, I could explain nothing but get humiliated.With humans among the guests, I couldn't possibly say that I had just shifted.Besides, If Derek were to find out, he would definitely hurt Jasper out of anger.Thinking of this, I quickly said to Jasper, "Try to control your wolf."He nodded, but his breathing was already heavy. "Tabitha, I... I've tried my best."Just at that moment, Jasper's body began to change, with his wolf about to take over.He crawled on the ground, his claws extended, his bones cracking.Then he let out a painful roar.His shifting has started!My heart tightened.

    Derek's POVTabitha didn't look well.She seemed to be affected by the Nightshade grass.I wanted to take her away, but her pitiful, innocent gaze held me in place.I couldn't move my feet, as my wolf urged me to get closer to her.She tugged my clothes, and as I bent down, she directly hooked her arms around my neck.It caught me off guard.I wondered, 'How long has it been since I last saw her smile like this?'Clean and beautiful, like a flower in the rain, washing away all dirt and hatred.'It just makes me fall for her once again.'She whispered softly in my ear, "Would you stay here and rest with me for a while?"Her voice was so enticing that I couldn't resist. So I stayed.Worried about Tabitha, I came there in a hurry without even taking off my earbud.Then, as she was safe and sound, I finally started paying attention to the sound coming from the earbud.I listened, sitting on the carpet, with Tabitha in

    Derek's POV"You don't trust me at all, right?" I instinctively asked.Later, I saw a mocking expression on Tabitha's face.I knew that my question was unnecessary.Tabitha was so clever that she figured out who was behind it when she discovered Nightshade Grass in the drink.She also knew that I would come to save her.Just now, she was playing for time by greeting me and pretending to sprain her foot.Now, Lyrique was being held captive, able to deliver the message to Daphne.Daphne's goal would fall through.I looked at Tabitha with mixed feelings.I didn't mean that I'd spare Daphne, but Tabitha would get herself targeted by the public if she kept this up.I kept hearing Daphne's voice in my earphones.She happily invited many people to have a meal together.Then I heard a familiar voice, it was Tabitha's mother, Holly.She affectionately called out Daphne's name.Holly was very kind to Daphne, but I knew

It was infuriated.I wondered, 'It must feel terrible to be lifted high and then dropped hard.'Just a moment ago, she was Mrs. Greenwood, the envy of everyone.'But then she became a pitiful laughingstock.'Soon, the words of Derek's affair at his son's birthday party would spread. That was exactly what I wanted—to ruin Derek and Daphne's reputation!'As I expected, there was already a chorus of laughter echoing around us."I really thought Derek spoiled her to the moon.""This is such a slap in the face. If my boyfriend dares to cheat, I'll go give him and his mistress a slap each.""Tsk, if your husband were Derek, would you do the same? To be Mrs. Greenwood is everyone's envy.

Bruto Street in the southern district.The day I went to look for Vilda.She rushed towards me like a mad person.At that time, I ran across the street and when I turned around, I saw someone behind Vilda."I..." I was about to say but swallowed it, afraid of being heard.I hurriedly said to Obadiah, "Alpha Obadiah, you have helped me a lot this time. Can you help me check again? I suspect that I am being followed by someone."I would be exposed if I made a move. But nobody would suspect Obadiah.Obadiah got it immediately.He was about to leave.

    Derek's POV Leaving Tabitha, I headed to the private lounge on the second floor. I didn't know why, but recalling the expression on Tabitha's face before I left made me uneasy. If it weren't for dealing with Daphne's mess, I definitely wouldn't leave Tabitha's side. I felt like staying with her, protecting her. Walking into the reception room, I saw Daphne causing havoc and tearing the place apart. She stopped only when she saw me walk in. "Derek, what did it mean? You held Tabitha in your arms in front of everyone?!" Daphne shouted at me, her eyes filled with doubt and anger. I looked at her coldly. "Daphne, you planned all of this, and now you question me?" My voice was calm, but every word carried undeniable authority. "I just wanted to expose her true nature!" Daphne defended, but her voice had already lost its edge. "Expose her? You are only bringing shame on yourself," I replied with disdain in my tone. "Do you think you can ac

    Derek's POV I had Alvin and Rolf call Alphas of the surrounding packs in the banquet to figure out a search plan in the meeting room. Afterward, I contacted some of the bosses who had cooperated with my company. All of this didn't make me feel relaxed for a single moment. Though a little restless, Leo did not affect me at that time. Finding Kyrian and Tabitha was our common goal. Kyrian, the little boy, had never left his family before, while Tabitha, though with Alpha blood, had to confront rogues. I frowned upon thinking of this and became even more uneasy. I blocked the news of Kyrian's missing. After the fireworks display, I ended the banquet ahead of schedule. The guests were still unaware of what had happened, but the Black Thorn Pack guards quickly arrived at the Rikta Manor to evacuate them. When everyone else had been sent away from the Rikta Manor, Daphne immediately started causing a scene. "Why not let someone g

    Third person's POVAlma felt a bit awkward. "I'm not sure about that."After all, Hedwig was Derek's spitting image, but she wasn't certain about Hedwig's father."Regardless, he already has other women by his side. He might have forgotten your mother and could build a future with someone else. Even so, do you still want to save him?"Hedwig pursed her lips and didn't respond. Alma stroked her hair, "Poor child, you should know how hard your mother worked to escape him. If he discovers you two are still alive, he'll imprison her again. Do you want that?"Hedwig shook her head gently."Then pretend you don't know him. Your mother and the others aren't in the village. Whether he survives is up to luck," Alma sighed, "Your mother suffered too much. She was barely alive when she gave birth to you. Cherish the life you have now."Hedwig nodded.Strangely, after Derek drank Hedwig's blood, about half an hour later, his vision and hea

"Stop making a fuss here! Don't try to coerce me with such theatrics. Whether you stay or do something more extreme, it has nothing to do with me. If you're looking for trouble, take it elsewhere, not here!"Misha stood there, stunned. How could Mrs. Atkinson act so unreasonably?"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think this is a soap opera?" Alma sneered, "Now leave before you soil my place."As she spoke, she shielded Hedwig's eyes, "Don't look, or it might ruin your mood."Misha returned, drenched and furious, cursing under her breath, "Why is this old woman so difficult? She didn't have to help, but did she have to throw urine at me?"Rolf pinched his nose and stepped back

    Third person's POV"Alban, I didn't expect forty years to fly by like that. You're still the same as ever. I did say you wouldn't grow taller, didn't I?"Alma remarked with a smile. Alban's face flushed at her words.It had been decades since he was brought here by his mentor after being poisoned.Back then, he was just a teenager, and Alma, in her early forties, was in her prime, looking much younger than her age.Known for her straightforward nature, she had teased him about his height after treating him. Alban had dutifully drunk milk and played basketball in an effort to grow taller, but his height eventually plateaued at around 5'7", making him appear shorter than his younger counterparts like Alvin."Mrs. Atkinson, you're still the same as ever. It's wonderful to see you again. Could you please help my friend? He's been poisoned with the Nine-Heart Wolfsbane," Alban pleaded.Alma sighed, "You've put me in a difficult spot. The N

    Third person's POVIn the misty forest, a massive snake carrying a little girl emerged slowly.A beam of sunlight pierced through the dense canopy overhead, landing squarely on the girl.Her skin was as fair as snow, and her delicate features were strikingly beautiful.Most notably, she had a pair of emerald-green eyes, deep-set and chiseled.Clad in rustic, colorful attire, she was barefoot, with ankle bells woven from threads of five colors, adorned with tiny jingling pendants.This girl was exquisitely beautiful, her features complemented by an aura of ancient mystery.Perched high on the scarlet snake, she lacked the innocence typical of her age, instead bearing a demeanor of superiority, as regal as the Muse herself.The beam of light falling on her shoulder only enhanced her divine presence, making her seem like a saintess from a novel.The girl regarded the group with caution, her gaze inquiring why they had intru

Kamp approached with the freshly analyzed results."Dr. Weaver, can we save Alpha Derek once we know the components?""No, I can't save him. We need to go to Venomhollow," Alban instructed urgently."What kind of place is that?""It's an ancient village on the edge of the primeval forest. Most of the villagers deal with poisons, much like those special groups in the U.S. studying mysterious biological toxins. To save Derek, we need to find them. Perhaps they have a cure."Misha, realizing how severe Derek's poisoning was, asked, "And what about me, Dr. Weaver?""You're coming too. If we need a blood transfusion, we'll still rely o

No problem. I've destroyed all his bases. Now he's just a rat scurrying around—where else can he run?" Derek said with a cruel smile."Alpha Derek, your arm is hurt," Rolf reminded."It's nothing," Derek glanced at the small wound, recalling how it had been slashed by a woman who bore a resemblance to Tabitha.Distracted during the firefight, he had stared into her eyes a moment too long.The sharp pain in his arm had struck like a venomous snake bite.The woman was killed on the spot, and he left without a flicker of emotion.For someone accustomed to danger, injuries were commonplace, and he paid the minor woun
