Derek's POV

"Alpha Derek, are we going back to the Council of Elders?" asked Rolf after we left 32 Seaside Avenue.

I glanced back and said, "Nah, we're heading back to the pack."

With that, I got in the car.

Before closing the car door, I heard Rolf muttering, "Aren't they supposed to hold the feet; rejection ceremony today? We didn't waste a lot of time here. Maybe we'll be able to catch up with Tabitha..."

To my surprise, postponing the rejection ceremony was a relief to me. But I was too cowardly to think why.

"Where's Tabitha?" I asked.

Alvin immediately replied, "She should be with Gloria now."

It made sense since Gloria was her bestie. To keep tabs on all of Tabitha's moves, I had Alvin follow Gloria on social media.

Alvin fished out his phone while speaking and scrolled to Gloria's latest I*******m post, where I spotted Tabitha beside her straight away.

The two seemed to be celebrating something, as Gloria captioned it with "A new beginning."

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 831

    If Derek headed north in this downpour, he'd surely look for shelter first.So finding him wouldn't be hard. As long as he's still alive.With that thought, she picked up her pace.A distant animal call echoed—sounded like a wild boar.It was breeding season, and boars with piglets were especially fierce. Could it be Derek...?Tabitha sprinted forward.Up close, she saw a wild boar battling a python. The snake had coiled around the boar, which, with immense strength, was thrashing about trying to throw it off.Tabitha, caught in the crossfire, became a target. The boar charged her way.Quick on her feet, she drew her gun and fired at the boar, hoping to scare it off."Bang!" The bullet hit not the boar, but the python on its back.The boar, startled, charged straight at Tabitha."Look out!"Before Tabitha could react, several shots rang out, striking the boar's legs.With its legs broken

    Tabitha patted his shoulder. "Leave it to me. On my turf, I won't let him get hurt."Besides, she had planned to leave in a few days anyway. She was ready to head out."Please take good care of Mrs. Atkinson for me," she said."Tabitha, you can't. It's too dangerous," he urged."Look, I've done plenty of dangerous things before. What's one more?" she replied.With that, Tabitha used Derek's rope to find footholds and began her descent. Derek must have left at dawn; otherwise, the poor visibility would have been too risky.It had been a little over two hours since he left. If she hurried, she could catch up.This wasn't Tabitha's first time on this path.She had trained here before, using the cliffs as her challenge.Every time she thought of how the nurses and doctors looked at her after Derek was rushed to the emergency room, and the slap from Misha, she was reminded that she was an outsider in their world.Deter

    Tabitha's hands shook as she held the letter. So Wilmot was real but had died over four years ago. That's why Derek had assumed his identity.Back then, she was consumed by self-hatred, and Derek, at a loss, had to protect her under another identity.No wonder he'd blindfolded her that night. No wonder he knew all her preferences. No wonder she'd sensed Derek in him time and again.Derek had never truly left.The knot in Tabitha's heart was finally untied. Hedwig was Derek's child, just like Ayla and Helios.The handwriting grew increasingly crooked toward the end, nearly illegible."Tabitha, I'm sorry. If there's a next life, let me love you again, okay?"Tears dropped onto the letter as Tabitha's grip on it tightened, her emotions spiraling out of control."Tabitha, you and Alpha Derek have been through so much together. You know how much he loves you. You have no idea what he's been through these years. He suffered so much l

    Derek hung his head low. "I own up to my mistakes. Can you just give me a chance to make it right with you and the kid?""Nah, we're fine without you, Derek. The best thing you can do for me is just stay the hell away.""Tabitha, do you really hate me that much?""Yeah, I do. I hate you. I hate how you put me through all that hell. I hate how you spun this whole fucked-up dream for me and then ripped it all away. I hate that you made me into what I am today."Derek's gaze dimmed like the moon suddenly obscured by dark clouds.After a long silence, Derek muttered in a choked voice, "Sorry."He stared hard at Tabitha. "I lied to you again. My vision's back. I just kept pretending to be blind 'cause I didn't want to leave. You probably hate me even more now. I really don't wanna say sorry again, but I always fuck things up. In the end, I just end up hurting you again. You're right. I am selfish and obsessive. You must really regret knowing me."

  • Alpha's Wife Hunt   Chapter 827

    Derek, who had been prepared to let her go, caught a glint of ruthlessness in his eye at Tabitha's words, "But Tabitha, I never intended to let you go."This time, without a moment's hesitation, he took her.Tabitha shook her head, pleading, "You can't, Derek, you can't..."Derek's smile was cold and resolute. "Our bond isn't so easily severed. If it breaks, I'll just mend it."As he straightened his back, Tabitha nearly cried out.Derek kissed her skin with a mix of cruelty and tenderness. "I said it before—I'll never let go unless I die. Be good, control your voice, or I'll have to take responsibility if someone hears," he murmured.Tabitha pounded his chest in desperation. "Bastard... ah..."The couple nearby, after nearly two hours of entanglement, had finally fallen silent, rustling as they dressed."I thought I heard something. Did you?" the woman's hoarse voice asked.Tabitha, terrified at being discovered,

    Derek whispered into her ear, "Tabitha, why can you forgive everyone else but be so cruel to me?"Tabitha stared into his eyes and said firmly, "Don't you know why?"Derek sighed and rested his head on her neck. "The past can't be changed, and the hurt is already done. What more can I do to make it up to you? I only have this life to offer. If that's what you want, take it."She had never doubted that Derek would go to extremes for her—even when he detested her, he had followed her off the ledge.In moments of danger, he was always the one to shield her.Yet this same man, who had shown her such unparalleled care, had also wounded her the deepest."I don't want your life. From now on, we're done," she declared.Derek gave a bitter laugh. "Tabitha, you've already taken my life."Years of longing had drained him.With one sentence, two layers of meaning, he shattered the frigid silence between them.His fingers delved beneath her loose top.Tabitha bit her lip. "You dare to touch me, an
