Semua Bab Alpha's Wife Hunt: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Tabitha's POVI looked up and glanced at Mark, who had pulled a long face and said nothing.Then I shifted my gaze to Holly. She was still immersed in her own memories without noticing our expressions."I've never paid attention to your performance in school, and I've never cared about what you liked. I was away for years, and I've never called you. Not even once. I left you behind while you were so little. I bet you hate me, right?""I..." I sniffed, hesitating whether to tell her the truth.Mark sighed, "Holly, calm down. What I'm about to say is very important."I wiped away my tears and reached out to dry Holly's face.Holly blinked in confusion. "What is it exactly?"Mark said concisely, "The bad news is that the potion made with Tabitha's blood didn't work.""I see. I was prepared for that," she replied, not looking fazed.Mark continued, "And the good news is, Tabitha isn't your daughter. Your biological daughter is out there

Tabitha's POVRight after I realized that Derek had woken up, he yanked me hard, and I found myself crashing into his arms.Frowning, I instinctively wanted to push him away, but then I heard him mumble in a hoarse voice, "Don't go."Because of the ray of sunlight, I could vaguely see his tearful puppy eyes, looking incredibly pitiful.I let out a soft sigh, and despite myself, I stayed curled up against him.Crystal woke up in my mind.Seemed she sensed something, too. I could tell she was comfy and pleasant.And it totally messed with my head.A special scent was starting to swirl around my nose.I knew it was mate-exclusive.Derek was overjoyed and held me even tighter.The scorching heat coming from his body enveloped me completely, making me feel quite uneasy.It had been ages since we were this close. Even though we used to be lovers, I was kinda at a loss."Would you mind loosening a bit? I'm suffocating," I whi

Derek's POVAfter taking the last step, I had made up my mind.Even when I hated her back then, I never gave up, so now I wasn't about to back down either.I turned the doorknob carefully and walked slowly into the room.By the light from outside the door, I saw Tabitha sleeping soundly on the bed.Her fair cheeks were blushing, and her body was wriggling restlessly.She mumbled, "No. Don't..."I felt so guilty. She had gone through so much lately, and she felt insecure even in her sleep.I reached out and gently shook her arm, softly saying, "Tabitha, wake up."She stirred, looking all dazed.Then she pressed her lips against mine, and the sudden warmth startled me.I felt like my dream had come true, and I froze, not daring to move at all.The darkness made it difficult for me to tell the difference between a dream and a fantasy.I let Tabitha wrap her arms around my neck, her soft lips brushing against mine.It

Tabitha's POVDerek put his hands on my shoulders and said, "Tabitha, Jasper approached you with an agenda. Remember that night on the ship when he was drugged? I checked the surveillance footage afterward. You know what? He saw Lyrique spiked the beverage, but he still drank it. Why do you think that was?""So, you knew something was off that night?" I asked."Yeah. I didn't wanna spook him, so I decided to be patient and play the long game. Although he was cautious, I still managed to find something."I discovered Poison and Wolf Shadow's underground base, so I took my men there, wanting to take them all down. He got mad, so he shot me.""Wait,are you saying he's a member of Poison and Wolf Shadow?""Yep."What the woman's assistant said the other night rang out in my mind again: Matthew had left to settle the score with Derek.So, the person I was looking for was right under my nose the whole time. Matthew was Jasper. He had been lurking by

Tabitha's POVIt was, of course, Daphne. She was the rudest person I'd ever seen.She stormed in like a hurricane and raised her hand, ready to slap me across the face."Bitch! It's you again! You just won't go away, huh?"Mark grabbed her wrist, disappointment in his eyes."You don't need to be perfect or even obedient, but at least, you can't be this mean."Holly almost died in front of you, but you weren't fazed at all and even kicked her!"And now you wanna hurt Tabitha too? I don't get it. What's gotten into you? How come you've turned into such a monster?"Daphne, don't go too far. Didn't I tell you to stay away from the hospital?"Hearing Mark's words, Daphne became even angrier."Like mother like daughter. They're two bitches alright. Don't you forget that I'm your daughter!"A crisp sound rang out as Mark slapped Daphne's face.Caught off guard, Daphne widened her eyes in disbelief."All these years, Holly has
