All Chapters of Alpha's Wife Hunt: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tabitha's POV I immediately sat down, my mouth watering as I gazed at the golden pancakes. They even got the sweet scent of vanilla! With expectant eyes, I shove a piece into my mouth with a fork, the sweet taste of maple syrup blowing my mind. Finally, I convinced myself that it wasn't a dream. Lifting my gaze, I saw Derek placing a latte in front of me, his lips pursed up. When he noticed I was eyeing him, he just flicked a glance my way. I was kinda glad that he didn't say anything to kill the vibe. We polished off breakfast in silence just like that. For the next several days, it was the same drill. Derek would be out dealing with the pack biz during the day. And at night, he'd come home to dine with me. We barely talked. But I could feel that he wasn't as hostile and cold to me as before. At some point, I felt like we were back to those good old days when Daphne hadn't shown up. We were still so crazily in love, our mate bond as strong as ever. Then the wou

Tabitha's POV "Are you outta your fucking mind?! That was your flesh and blood, too!" I grabbed his collar with both hands, feeling my wolf's fangs punch through my gums, sprouting out. Sensing my rage, Crystal roared inside me. Derek's words tore my heart into pieces. Losing the baby had always been the biggest regret and trauma. And he was the one behind it? How could he do this to me? Faced with my anger, Derek unleashed his full Alpha aura, forcing Crystal to curl up. But I wasn't scared at all. Trying my best to resist, I snarled, looking him in the eye, "I'll never forgive you!" "Same." With that, he took his Alpha aura back and strode out. Once his scent was gone, I collapsed onto the ground, completely drained. It clicked why Derek'd been capricious for the past year. And why he sometimes looked at me as if I was a stranger. All these reports scattered on the ground were the result of Derek's efforts this whole year. I bet his initiative motive was to prov

Derek's POV I strode out of the pack house, leaving Tabitha behind. For I knew if I stayed for one more second, I would take her in my arms. Just now, she looked so heartbroken and desperate. It brought a lump to my throat, and Leo was on the verge of a breakdown. Before I knew it, I walked to Zack's old place. It'd been empty for ages, but I had the pack's Omega clean it regularly. So it was still looking neat. Planting myself at the table, I fixed my gaze on the old family photos of Zack's. It was the only way I could beat down the huge guilt I felt about Tabitha. "Fuck! Derek!" Leo was losing it. "I had to," I told him. "Our mate's all that matters, you idiot," Leo growled. "Why did you lie to Tabitha? You didn't mean to kill her baby. Why not spill about what went down that day?" "Enough, Leo..." I sighed in my head. "I want her to hate me. I did hurt her, no?" "But you love her, and you never want to hurt her," Leo's spirit seemed deeply wounded, so it got listle

Tabitha's POV "You're unbelievable!" Hearing Derek's words, I realized that he had been out of his mind. Yet he looked miserable, his pupils flickering with golden light. That was his wolf struggling, trying to take over his body. Then he accidentally touched my wound and tore it open. Fresh blood seeped through my clothes immediately. "Crystal!" I shouted in my mind. Crystal finally responded to me and took control of my body right away. My claws reached out for Derek's wrist, releasing my intimidating Luna aura. Derek was shocked at first, but soon came to his senses. He withdrew his hand stiffly slowly. I collapsed onto the ground the next minute. Derek took a step closer, intending to check my wound. But I backed away immediately, staring at him with caution. "You got hurt?" Derek's voice was hoarse as he stared at my blood-soaked clothes. I stood up from the ground quickly and went to grab my jacket. As I walked past him and headed towards the door, Der

Tabitha's POV"It's hard. Gloria, my mind tells me to stay away from him. But the bond between us says another," I said calmly.After being rejected, werewolves stood a chance to meet their second mate. Yet it was extremely rare.I didn't think I would be that lucky.And even if I did run into my second mate, would I still believe in him?Once, I was so certain that the mate bond would bring me closer to Derek, and that we would love each other for a lifetime.Yet the reality proved me wrong. For Elena's sake, my mate didn't hesitate to go against me.I lost my baby, and my wound wasn't healing. My wolf was so weak that I could hardly shift, and my father was still in a coma.Gloria wiped away her tears and leaned against me. She held my hand with both of hers, and I could feel the warmth of her palms.I smiled gratefully and said, "Don't worry. The mate bond affects both me and him. He's done so much digging cuz he was trying to prove that Elena's death had nothing to do with my dad.
