Derek grabbed his ice-cold coat and stepped out into the storm.

Tabitha stood under the porch, watching his silhouette fade into the blinding white.

He looked lonelier than she'd ever seen him. Where was the arrogant Black Thorn Alpha now?

Suddenly, a memory from years ago flashed in her mind. She saw herself in those freezing, dark waters, and felt a pair of strong arms pulling her to the surface. She could almost hear his deep voice in her ear, "Don't be scared. I've go

    Bonnie looked conflicted. Her noble Luna composure was crumbling under the mounting pressure. She glanced at Derek, who was radiating a cold, dark energy, then at Bentley, who wore a practiced smile."But..." Bonnie's voice trembled slightly, "Derek also brought a doctor over."Bentley's gaze flickered toward Tabitha, cold and slithering like a viper's tongue.Tabitha met his stare with icy indifference. She used some shifting potion and a custom perfume to mask her scent. No matter how sharp Bentley's nose was, or how hard he glared with those wolfish eyes, he wouldn't find a trace of the woman he once knew under this stranger's face."You mean... This young woman?" Bentley's voice was much calmer than Michelle's, but his aura was heavy and suffocating.Though deep down he knew that she was the one who had sabotaged his plan before, he kept up his pretentious "gentleman" act.For years, he and Derek had played two opposite roles in t

    Tabitha gave Misha's rage-distorted face a cold, dismissive glance before calmly closing the car door. "Since Miss Holmes doesn't trust me, I'll see myself out."She started to pull back into the seat.Derek knew her personality too well. He wasn't about to force her into anything she didn't want to do, so he didn't move to stop her.But Alban panicked. He shoved his hand against the door to keep it from closing. "Dr. Vanessa, don't mind the brat. Lycan Algernon is only alive because of those machines. I'm asking you personally—save him. For me."Tabitha thought back to the help Alban had given her when she first left. He had been a close friend of her late mentor, after all.She took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.The moment she did, every medical professional in the hallway stared at her. Their eyes were full of genuine respect. Whispers rippled through the crowd."Look, that's Dr. Vanessa... she's even younger than

    Derek grabbed his ice-cold coat and stepped out into the storm.Tabitha stood under the porch, watching his silhouette fade into the blinding white.He looked lonelier than she'd ever seen him. Where was the arrogant Black Thorn Alpha now?Suddenly, a memory from years ago flashed in her mind. She saw herself in those freezing, dark waters, and felt a pair of strong arms pulling her to the surface. She could almost hear his deep voice in her ear, "Don't be scared. I've got you."That single moment of rescue had turned into a destiny she couldn't escape."Hey, Derek."Derek froze. He spun around instantly.Tabitha was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, a wicked, confident smirk on her face. "I'll drop the custody thing for Kyrian—for now. But don't expect me to be cheap about the rest of my fee."She never really intended to burn everything down with him. She just wanted to see if this man would sell out his own

    This was exactly how he used to trample on her. It was the heaviest curse in the laws of the pack: karma.Tabitha leaned across the table, her cold fingertips tracing his jawline with playful indifference. "Derek, while I still have a shred of primal attraction to your body, you'd better start playing by my rules."She was like a beautiful venomous snake lurking in the dark, slowly coiling around him. She whispered into his ear, her breath cold, "Otherwise, I can cut this absurd connection whenever I feel like it. Do you follow me?"Derek had no comeback. Once you become the desperate, weaker side in the game of emotions, you lose all leverage—and your dignity. Yet, this total imbalance was a punishment he accepted gladly.A helpless, bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "But Tabitha, I didn't come here tonight for my own desires. I'm here to ask for a favor."Tabitha pulled back and sat down lazily, propping her chin on her hand. Her gaze was mocking. "What kind of trouble

    "Yeah, this is my place in Seattle.""You're not planning on moving, are you? Every piece of furniture, this whole minimalist vibe... you picked it all out yourself, didn't you?" Derek asked softly. His perceptiveness made Tabitha stiffen slightly.She nodded. "Seattle is where my roots are. I wanted a sanctuary that belongs entirely to me."That was why she'd spent a fortune installing a state-of-the-art medical suite in the basement—just in case.Hearing that made Derek's chest ache with a dull, nagging pain. "Tabitha, I'm so sorry."He thought about the ruins of the Silver Moons after they fell. Her family estate had been mortgaged, and even though it was eventually bought back, it wasn't a home anymore.Their old house together had been a prison of cold indifference, and the beach villa had been tainted by Daphne's scent.But here, there were no shadows of the Black Thorns. Everything here was hers."It's in the past.

    It took her over two hours of scrubbing with heavy-duty chemicals to clean every inch of the floor. After that, she prepped some high-calorie liquid nutrients for Lucian.Only after confirming he was stable did she finally let out a breath."Next time you take a suicide mission like this, could you give me a heads-up? You scared the hell out of me."Lucian cracked a weak smile. "If I'd actually died on that table, would you have missed me?""Don't be stupid. We might not be blood, but you're the closest thing to a family I've got. I—"She was cut off by the sharp buzz of the video doorbell.The screen lit up, showing someone at the front gate of her hidden villa.Who could be here now?She had zero social life in Seattle and hadn't ordered any food or packages.Tabitha tapped the screen, and a very familiar face appeared.It was Derek.How did he track her down so fast?"It's Derek. I'll go dea
