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

    Tabitha's POVDerek left after saying some words that I couldn't figure out.There was no reproach, no madness, and no question.What did that mean, the most correct choice?The door slammed shut, and a new round of fireworks soared into the sky again.I watched the fleeting brilliant fireworks, which resembled my barren life.Apart from the transient brilliance, all that remained was endless desolation and darkness.While everyone was immersed in the lively atmosphere, I suddenly heard a woman scream."Kyrian!"Did I hear it wrong?I rushed out of the room, only to see several men hurriedly running downstairs, passing by my door.One of them was holding Kyrian!I didn't know what had happened, but by the time I realized, I had already chased after them.Kyrian's mournful cry echoed through the corridor, but at that moment, everyone was immersed in the fireworks feast, even the wolf guards had been called away to set o

    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

    Tabitha's POV While I was in a coma, I heard the call of Crystal. At the same time, I also felt my body constantly jolting. It seemed as if I was constantly floating and sinking in the sea. Her sound grew closer and closer, and when I finally heard it clearly, I gradually became conscious. Afterward, I felt sore all over my body. I opened my eyes, recalling the image before passing out. Oh! Kyrian. How is that child doing? I suddenly opened my eyes and got up, only to find a dagger pressed against my neck. "Don't move!" the person holding the dagger hoarsely reminded. I suddenly realized that I was in a dilapidated small wooden house, which should not be far from the seaside. I could hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. I glimpsed the man standing beside me dressed in black. The blade of the knife he held against my neck was very sharp, and there was no Kyrian in the room. I tightened my nerves and spoke

    Tabitha's POV Upon hearing the conversation between Aiden and Noah, I was instantly speechless. They probably didn't know that Derek had spent tens of millions on Kyrian's birthday party. The Black Thorn Pack could be said to be the most powerful wolf pack in Seattle. If they had directly asked for 500 thousand, Derek would probably have left them with a whole body. But they kidnapped Kyrian, and Derek would definitely have thrown them to feed the sharks. For the first time, I felt that these rogues were a bit naive. Seeing that I remained silent, Noah weakly spoke up, "Um, can't they afford five hundred thousand? Then two hundred thousand is fine, right?" I sighed helplessly as I heard them lowering the ransom. "Oh my God, I heard before that these rich people owe a lot of money to the bank. Could it be that Derek is a poor guy? Then kidnapping his child is of no avail." I sincerely advised, "Why not jack up the price a bit? Otherwi

    Tabitha's POV I took out my phone without any signal and opened the photo album reluctantly in front of those people. There were many candid photos of Derek that I took in the past, whether he was working, sleeping, or drinking coffee. There were also one or two photos of him sleeping while I made funny faces and took selfies beside him. These photos all reveal one message that we used to lead a happy life. There was another set of photos that were taken after I became pregnant, but by that time, Derek was no longer around. Only I held my bulging belly, with a faint smile on my mouth. "My story is true, but there is indeed one thing I lied to you about. Although I hate Derek and Daphne, their child is innocent. Last night, when I saw you leaving with the child in your arms, I didn't think much and followed along." I took a deep breath and said, "I didn't want to hurt the child, I wanted to save him. But I didn't expect to faint due to ex

    Tabitha's POV I looked at the she-wolf in front of me, who had already turned completely white-haired. Her fingers were rough, and her face was covered in wrinkles, but there was a kind and uneasy smile on her face. Aiden had already taken off the hood, revealing a handsome face. He explained earnestly, "Julia was afraid of hurting the little guy, so she cut her own warm clothes. You should know that Julia only has one set, and it was a gift from Lucian on her birthday." I looked at the yellowed diapers, and my emotions were complicated for a moment. I smiled, "This one is good enough." Kyrian changed drastically in just half a day, taking off his branded clothes. He put on the clothes of the other werewolf children on the island. I had no idea how many children had worn it as it was scattered with patches. But it was thick and relatively warm. Kyrian was perfectly fine wearing it, following behind me like a little tail. So

    Tabitha's POV I looked at the large pieces of meat on the plate and didn't know what to say. Aiden and Noah just hit their growth spurt, so they gobbled the food while praising Julia's skills. Lucian explained, "The food on the island was limited, so you had to make do with it." Aiden bit his lip and, although reluctant, generously pushed the plate of roasted chicken towards me. "You look so pale. You should eat a little more." As I looked into his sincere eyes, my heart ached even more. Even if others' kindness towards me was only as faint as the light of fireflies, it could still illuminate my entire life. "Sorry, I'm not very hungry. You guys go ahead and eat." I held Kyrian and left. The island at night appeared even lonelier under the quiet moonlight. Before long, a person had already sat beside me, and it was the silent and reserved Lucian. "No food available here if you got hungry at night." "Well, I know. I'm not hu

    Tabitha's POV Upon hearing Lucian's words, I felt a hint of warmth in my heart. I had faced so many changes alone. Orson and Gloria supported me, but they couldn't confront Derek. "You were never alone," my wolf said in my mind. It was like being gently stroked by a pair of furry claws. I gratefully responded to her. Then I looked at Lucian and smiled slightly, saying, "Even if we killed him, it wouldn't change anything. What has happened could never be changed, and the damage is done." "But at least you won't be hurt any further," Lucian said calmly. His tone, though composed, held a fierce determination. He wasn't trying to comfort me. So, I said, "Don't provoke him. He's a madman. Madmen are not scary, but madmen with wealth and power are. Perhaps you think this place is like a utopia, but it's only a matter of time before he finds it." He listened to my words and fell into silence. I continued, "I have already used some of t

They were minced and fed to the fish."At that moment, the personnel from the helicopters descended onto various decks in an or

    Third person's POV"Don't bite. It hurts," the words echoed in Tabitha's mind, bringing back a memory from the past.When she first started her relationship with Derek, she had no sex experience.At that time, she found it extremely embarrassing to make any noise during their moments of intimacy, so she would always tightly bite her lips, refusing to let out a sound.It was on an unforgettable day when the man gently turned her chin, whispering these words into her ear.Tabitha vividly remembered that night as one filled with passion and madness.At this moment, she was completely unaware of how enticing she appeared.Her eyes covered with a silver scarf, the man slowly lifted her chin, forcing her to raise her head, revealing her long, swan-like neck.Her once neat dress slipped from her shoulders, exposing arms as white as snow and sexy, charming collarbones, with fine glitter on her skin twinkling a mysterious light in the d

    Derek's POVI held her quietly, without any intention of pressuring her.I knew she was in immense pain and turmoil, and all I wanted was to help her escape this predicament."Ms. Hartley, we can discuss everything else later. The most pressing matter at hand is to resolve your current difficult situation. I understand you are an innocent woman, unwilling to submit easily to others. Still, the circumstances leave us with no other options," I took a deep breath and continued, "I can promise you solemnly that I will not disclose a word of what happens tonight to anyone. After tonight, everything will return to how it was, as if nothing had happened. If you don't have special feelings for me, I can... find someone else for you, like Forrest or..."Before I could finish, she reached out and gently covered my mouth with her hand, her eyes slightly reproachful. At that moment, my heart fluttered with a hint of panic."If there really is no other choice,

"Relax, I disabled all the cameras around us as soon as we boarded. Yes, it's him. He's determined to see me dead."A salty sea breeze swept over them, raising goosebumps on Forrest's skin.He had only ever known to follow Derek's orders, completely unaware of the intricate web of schemes and calculations hidden beneath.What kind of difficult and perilous situation was Derek in?Besides the discord within his family, he also faced fierce competition and endless machinations in his professional life."Alpha Derek, how should we proceed now?" Forrest asked, his face etched with confusion.Derek's gaze was deep and dark, his voice as cold as i

His desire for Tabitha was undeniable, but not under the current humiliating and perilous circumstances.Moreover, he was uncertain about the exact nature of the drugs Matilda had administered to Tabitha and the potential harm they might inflict.As the doctor conducted a thorough exam

"Here's three hundred million dollars."There was a bank on the ship, operating aro

The starting price was set at ten million dollars, but it doubled rapidly as if by magic, soaring to forty million dollars in the blink of an eye and continuing to rise like a rocket.The giant electronic scree

    Third person's POVThe intense spotlight shone directly on Tabitha's face, highlighting her slender figure and accentuating the delicate depth of her features.Derek, who had always known of Tabitha's exceptional beauty, nearly lost his breath at the sight of her under the spotlight, his heart pounding with a mix of awe and admiration.Tabitha's eyes were adorned with silver contacts, a touch that transformed her entire aura, setting her apart from the woman he knew.The subtle shimmer of glitter on her exposed skin conjured images in Derek's mind of a mysterious mermaid stranded on the shore."Damn it, I should have kept bidding," Baxter muttered, his face a mix of annoyance and regret.The person beside him quickly offered consolation, "Mr. Rios, while the woman is indeed stunning, she's not an innocent young girl, as you can see from the age of her daughter.
