2024-08-30 18:01:28Tabitha's POV
In the past couple of days, Joanna had been noticeably more excited. She was never a fan of skincare, yet now, she even started putting on face masks.Obviously, her Prince Charming meant the world to her.Anyone in this house could tell she looked so forward to the upcoming short meet-up.Finally, it was the big day. She looked thrilled but also kinda fidgety."Tabitha, this outfit looks a bit cheugy, doesn't it? Will he think of me as a hillbilly?"I wanted to lend her some of my clothes, but even the cheapest ones cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.Since they might develop a romantic relationship, I hoped Joanna would show her true self so things wouldn't get complicated between them."Not at all! If he really likes you, even if you're wearing a potato sack, he'll still think you look amazing. Chill, girl. Just take it easy and go pick him up confidently. You don't have to be stressed out," I reassured her.Then

Tabitha's POVBefore they kicked the door open, I opened it.Standing at the doorway, I saw Spike with one of his cheeks red and another guard rushing over to protect me.As Derek's subordinates, they were just like him—cold, silent, and low-key.They never stirred up trouble or threw their weight around.Since their job was to protect me, they had been patient and tolerant from the very beginning, lest drawing any attention.But even so, the lady and her guards weren't backing down. Instead, they went so far as to slap Spike.I assumed she was the so-called Miss Gutierrez. Her face seemed unfamiliar, and her accent didn't sound very Seattle to me. She was decked out in luxury brands, looking like a walking fashion show. A typical spoiled girl.Before I could say anything, she sized me up and finally fixed her gaze on my belly."I thought some big shot was inside. Turns out it's just a pregnant woman."With a snort, she pulled

Tabitha's POVAmidst the crowd, my eyes locked with Klein's.A whirlwind of complicated feelings rushed through me, finally settling on guilt.I had agreed to give him my kidney, and that day, he was all prepped and ready for surgery. But at the last minute, Derek swooped in and took me away.I didn't even get to say I was sorry before leaving.After I was brought back to Seattle, my number got changed, so I couldn't reach Klein, let alone apologize to him.I never expected to run into him here.Didn't he return to his home country? Why was he back in Seattle?Unlike me, who was feeling incredibly sorry, Klein seemed pretty chill.Instead of being upset, he just gave me a gentle smile and nodded as if to say hi.Ivonne, who had been cursing me the whole time, suddenly realized I wasn't even glancing her way.She grew even angrier, yelling to draw my attention, "Hey! Who the hell are you looking at? You're pregnant, OK? Stop flir

Tabitha's POVIvonne was slack-jawed.I had heard from Derek before that his youngest aunt wasn't a werewolf.Obviously, Ivonne wasn't either.That was probably why she and her mom weren't in the Black Thorn Pack.Like everyone else, she didn't know Derek and I used to be mates.Without knowing my background, she probably figured that I was just some ordinary girl who had climbed the social ladder through marriage.From her expression, I could tell that she didn't respect me.Derek glanced at the crowd and ordered coldly, "Alright, everyone, please return to your seat."Hearing that, the onlookers fled like roaches, not daring to stay for one more second.Once the door shut, Ivonne started complaining. The two slaps made her cheeks flush, but she still wasn't ready to back down."Derek, did you really marry her? What about Kelsey? She's been waiting for you for so long! Ever since she found out you were marrying Daphne, she's be

Tabitha's POVMy heart skipped a beat. What Ivonne had said was indeed a touchy subject for Derek.I remembered very well how hard I managed to keep my babies back then. If Derek went off the rails again, I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle it.Derek glared at Ivonne fiercely. "Shut up."She snorted, "You're gonna be tricked by her if you don't listen to me." Though saying so, she didn't dare to upset him again. After all, she was no fool.Just then, a new item popped up on the auction block—a rose diamond necklace.Designed by Niko, a famous contemporary jeweler, it was part of a collection with a rose theme.The big screen showcased every angle and detail of that necklace's sparkle. I had been dozing off, yet seeing that, my eyes were wide open.Derek rarely saw me interested in any jewelry, so he quickly asked, "You like it?"I covered his mouth, snapping, "Shut up and listen. I wanna know the details."Derek looked h

Tabitha's POV"Tabitha, where are you going?" Derek rushed after me.Ivonne snorted in her seat, "Is she crazy or what?"I sprinted in front of the room next to me, panting. "I wanna see Klein."Klein's assistant recognized me and opened the door.I dashed inside.Klein was lounging on a leather couch, looking all calm. Hearing the sound, he turned to face me."It's been a while, Tabitha. Hi."I no longer cared about courtesy, just asking bluntly, "Klein, is that necklace your sister's?""Yes. I heard something belonging to her was up for auction today, so I came here to see if I could find any trace of her. Even if I couldn't, I still hated to see her birthday gift end up in someone else's hands."Sure enough, my theory was right. The dead woman was Klein's sister, whom he had been searching for all this time.Seeing the worn-out look on Klein's face, I couldn't bring myself to break such brutal news to him no matter what.

Tabitha's POVKlein's hands started to tremble when he heard the words "a dead woman."His face was already pale, and right now, it was simply ashen."Are you sure?" he asked."Yes. The studs were big and beautiful, and the clothes she was wearing were from luxury brands. Oh, and she had this stunning collectible sapphire ring on her finger."Seeing Klein's expression getting worse by the second, I quickly tried to reassure him, "It wasn't necessarily your sister. Who knows? Maybe someone had her jewelry. It may not be as bad as you think."Klein was glued to his phone, ignoring me completely.I noticed his fingers were trembling uncontrollably as he swiped frantically on the screen until he finally stopped on a photo."Is this the ring you saw?"The picture showed the ring clearly—the sapphire was as clear as the sky, with exquisite craftsmanship and noble style."Yes. When I saw the corpse, it had already been soaked in the w

Derek's POV The helicopter landed on a wide platform, and the moment I stepped out of the cabin, a wave of heat swept in from all directions. I turned to Tabitha, saying, "It's hot outside. How about you just wait in the helicopter?" "No," she insisted, standing her ground. So I had no choice but to help her out. Klein had gathered a whole crew too. With a stern face, he asked, a hint of fear in his voice, "Tabitha, where did you see the body?" She pondered for a while before pointing to a rundown boat, replying, "There. That was where I saw the body at that time, but it's been half a year, perhaps..." Before she could finish her words, Klein rushed towards the boat, ignoring his assistant's worried shout behind him, "Mr. Hartley, slow down. You shouldn't be running that fast!" But Klein just ignored it. It was understandable, though. After all, he had been searching for his sister for so long, and now he finally got a lead, but it could be li

Tabitha's POVAlthough Klein's family was internationally renowned, being in a foreign land definitely put some limits on what he could do.It wasn't as easy for him to get things done here in Seattle for him as it was for Derek.After agreeing to his request, Derek pulled some strings and quickly got professionals to start the autopsy.Meanwhile, Klein was just stuck in one position, his gaze drifting off to who-knows-where.I set a glass of lemonade in front of him and gently advised, "Klein, the results will be out soon. Don't stress. It's probably not what we're thinking. Just drink some water."Klein, snapping back to reality, replied in a hoarse voice, "Can you tell me again about the details of when you saw her?"I then carefully recounted the process of how I escaped onto the boat.When I got to the part about being in that filthy water with the body and seeing a school of fish swimming out of its eyes, both Derek and Klein's faces wen

Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 799
Rolf was so focused on escaping that he barely had time to marvel at the spectacle unfolding before him."If this isn't a nightmare, I don't know what is", he thought, sprinting for his life.He knew if he fell, he'd be bitten to death by the venomous snakes.Never in his life had Rolf run so fast. He sprinted in the direction of the sound, desperation lending him strength.Up ahead, perched in a peach tree like a guardian angel, sat Hedwig.Her tiny fingers danced over a bamboo flute, its melody ringing in the charged air.To Rolf and Misha, however, the "ding-dong" notes felt like a death knell tolling ever closer.Snakes swarmed from all directions like a rising tide. Rolf knew if this kept up, they'd both end up as snake fodder.Panic clawed at his throat. Without a word to Misha, he unceremoniously dumped her onto the ground.Misha was still disoriented when she was roughly thrown to the ground. Before she could rea

"Agreed," Alvin replied. The memory of Hedwig's earlier glare at Misha sent a shiver down his spine.He had a foreboding that Misha might already be in Hedwig's crosshairs.Given that this was Hedwig's home turf, Alvin worried their group might not stand a chance in a confrontation.This added a layer of anxiety to an already tense situation.Meanwhile, Tabitha remained fast asleep, a serene smile playing on her lips.After a short play with the fawn, a pigeon flew in from outside the cave and landed on Hedwig's shoulder, cooing softly. Hedwig paused at the sound, glancing at Tabitha still lost in slumber.With a moment of hesitation, she quietly rose and tiptoed away, not wanting to disturb Tabitha's rest.Misha, who had always sailed through life with ease, had encountered her greatest challenge in the form of unrequited love.Ever since Derek had rescued her, she had vowed to marry him when she grew up.Throughout her

Hedwig nodded understandingly, her face lighting up with innocent joy.She carefully lowered herself onto the lawn and gently pressed a sweet kiss to Tabitha's cheek, her movements as delicate as a butterfly's wings.Her movements were incredibly gentle, for fear of disturbing Tabitha.Then, she sat quietly by the pool, watching butterflies dance around them—a scene so serene it could have been plucked from a masterpiece painting.Tabitha's exhaustion overwhelmed her, her eyelids growing heavier by the second until she drifted into a deep sleep by the pool's edge.Her long, silk-like hair cascaded down, and without her mask, her porcelain skin glowed.Compared to before, she seemed even more beautiful now, like a sleeping fairy, radiating an enchanting charm.Hedwig stayed by her side without disturbing Tabitha, quietly gathering herbs nearby with focused and skillful movements.The forest creatures adored her—a faw

Misha watched Tabitha and Alma walk away, her anger flaring up again.She glared at the back of Tabitha's head and instinctively touched her red cheek.Growing up, she had never been treated like this. The humiliation filled her heart with resentment."Once Derek's poison is neutralized, I'll make them pay", she vowed silently.Alban, seeing the hatred in Misha's eyes, felt a chill.He knew Misha's background—her family's influence was no secret. He'd brought her here out of concern for Derek's blood type.Having watched Misha and Derek grow up, he was well aware of their temperaments.Given Misha's current state, he feared she would cause more trouble.So, he tried to persuade her again, "Look, things are under control here. It's not proper for a young lady like you to stay. I'll have someone escort you out.""I'm not leaving, Dr. Weaver. I'm staying to take care of Derek!" Misha said stubbornly, turning her head
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 795
Misha's eyes welled up the moment she saw Derek awake. She lunged toward him, crying, "I've been so worried!"Derek sidestepped her embrace instinctively and said coolly, "I'm fine. I've delayed you long enough. I need to stay for treatment; you should head back."Misha's jaw dropped in shock.Misha had traveled so far and gone through so much, only to hear Derek tell her to leave as soon as he woke up."I need to care for you—your eyesight's impaired. I've already taken leave," she pleaded."You'll be fine. Rolf and Alvin are here. It's not convenient for you, a young woman, to stay," Derek insisted.Misha stamped her foot in frustration. "What's inconvenient about it? You're not married, and neither am I. Remember when we were on missions together? We took care of each other then, didn't we?"Alma happened to pass by and overhear the conversation, finally realizing that Misha had been the one making advances all along.

Derek jolted awake after an hour of sleep.In a daze, sensing someone beside him, he instinctively pulled them into his arms, exclaiming, "Tabitha, you came for me."Alvin sighed, "Alpha Derek, it's me."Derek fumbled blindly in the air, urgency lacing his voice, "Where's Tabitha? Where did she go?""You were dreaming again," Alvin explained patiently."A dream?" Derek frowned, confusion washing over him.But why did the dream feel so real? So real that he could almost feel the give of Tabitha's skin, recall the touch of her body, and even remember the warmth of her flesh. Her voice still seemed to linger in his ears."Tabitha's probably miles away. She couldn't be here," Alvin added.Derek's heart sank, the joy from moments ago replaced by emptiness. It felt as though he'd found his most precious treasure, only to realize it was just a dream.He bowed his head, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Right, how could I rea
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 793
At Derek's words, Tabitha was suddenly reminded of his words from years ago, when he had said the person in his dreams was her.She couldn't help but wonder what exactly this scoundrel had done to her in his dreams."Tabitha, hold me," Derek pleaded like a petulant child.Tabitha recalled the early days of their marriage. Back then, Derek was reticent and self-absorbed in bed, rarely showing any emotion or expressing his feelings.She often doubted whether he even liked her, if not for the fact that his actions left her bedridden the next day.Derek had locked all his emotions in an airtight box, allowing no one to peek inside.But over the years, their dynamics had done a complete turnaround.Now, Tabitha buried her feelings deep within, becoming cold and distant, while Derek had transformed into someone unrecognizably vulnerable and open.At this moment, Derek was like an overly affectionate, enthusiastic dog, intimately fami
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 792
Tabitha was deeply focused on listening to Derek's heartbeat. Irritated by his question, she simply hushed him with a "Shh" and said, "Don't talk." Her attention was entirely on his heart rate. She had no intention of being distracted by others.After finishing with his heartbeat, Tabitha gently pried open Derek's eyelids for a closer look.His pupils were dull and lifeless, making it impossible to assess the internal damage with the naked eye.It seemed that only after administering the antidote and conducting a professional examination outside could they determine the extent of the eye damage.Tabitha silently resolved that if they could just detoxify him, there would be hope for the gradual recovery of his other organs.At Tabitha's "Shh," Derek obediently fell silent.Despite feeling as though he were in a dream, he cherished this fleeting moment, thinking that even an extra minute with Tabitha would give him more memories to hold onto i
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 791
Derek clung to Tabitha like a koala to a tree trunk, refusing to let go.His voice was urgent and filled with longing as he declared, "Tabitha, you have no idea how long I've been searching for you! Every day, every night, your image haunted my thoughts. I was such a fool. If I had known you would vanish completely, I never would have let you go."Tabitha's heart skipped a beat at his words.Recalling her departure, she realized how strange it had been—how smoothly she had left.Back then, Tabitha had barely left when someone came chasing after her. Had Derek known of her plan from the start?If he had wanted to stop her, he could have nipped her plan in the bud."Why did you let me go, then?" she asked.Derek, lost in the joy of their reunion, poured out his feelings unreservedly. "I've always felt guilty for the wrongs I did you. I wanted to make amends."Tabitha gazed into Derek's eyes, noticing the red marks on his face.Despite his usual handsomeness, these marks added an air of
