A single snowflake drifted down. Instinctively, she reached out. The flake quickly melted in her palm, a cool touch, just like the feeling in her heart.She took a deep breath of cold air. Her nose stung, but she forced herself not to dwell on anything.Seattle. She was back again.Looking at the familiar snowy scenery, Tabitha felt a mix of complex emotions.Winter in this city was still so cold. But this time, the person she used to be with was gone. It felt both solid and completely empty.Two people in puffer jackets passed by, whispering. "Look at that motorcade. Must be some rich guy or a politician, right? The display is so over the top."Tabitha heard them but didn't stop. She raised her hand and hailed a cab.Her fingers were still cool from catching the snowflake. As she opened the taxi door, she didn't even risk a side glance at the line of cars.It was only after Tabitha's taxi drove away that the distant Lincoln mo

Lucian looked down at the top of her head. Complex emotions stirred in his eyes. There was warmth, hesitation, and a heavy feeling Tabitha didn't understand.After a long silence, he softly hummed, "Yeah." His voice was lower than usual.Just then, the phone on the table buzzed.Tabitha picked it up. The screen showed a text from an unknown number. It included the address for "Oak Alley Coffee Bookstore" in Seattle.She knew the place well; it was where she first met Joanna.Her fingers quickly tapped "Got it" in reply. When she put the phone down, a sharp, cold smile touched her lips. "See? The fish took the bait.""Do you want me to get you a new identity?" Lucian sat up. His tone instantly turned serious; he was always afraid something would happen to her.Tabitha shook her head. Her finger slid across the bookstore name on the screen. Her eyes were determined. "No need. I'll end it where it started.""Be careful. He's not j

Tabitha tried to push him away. "Stop, I'm running out of time."Derek simply pinned her hands above her head. His eyes were as savage as a wolf's. "But I'm just exercising my rights."With that, he rolled up her soft, white knit sweater to her armpits. The mirror behind her felt cold, but Derek in front of her was far too hot.Before losing all control, Tabitha, her eyes smoldering, managed to utter one command, "Don't leave marks on my neck.""Fine," Derek answered hoarsely.When they were finished, Tabitha looked at the parts covered by her sweater. They were bruised purple and red."Derek, are you a dog?"Derek gave her a wronged look. "But you said it was okay."Tabitha scoffed. "Now I have to shower again.""You're late anyway. What's the rush? I'll help you."He was clearly doing this on purpose!Tabitha ended up delaying her departure by a full hour.As she was leaving, Derek, his eyes full of warmth, backed her against the car. "Tabitha, if I satisfy you, you won't want any o

Tabitha waved a hand, resting her fingertips casually on the tablecloth, as if discussing something trivial. "I was traveling a while ago and just ran into it. I remembered you mentioning it, so I brought it back. I thought it would look beautiful if you painted it.""How can you 'just run into' it like that? You clearly..." Austin stopped midsentence. His gaze suddenly fixed.Tabitha happened to lift her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. A shallow, light brown scab on her palm became visible.The injury was from a few days ago when she was searching for the edelweiss in the wilderness. The wound had healed, but the scab hadn't fallen off yet, making it stand out starkly against her pale skin."What happened to your hand?" Austin's voice subconsciously deepened. His eyes were locked on the scab.Tabitha seemed a little embarrassed by the question. She quickly hid her hand behind her back, curling her fingers, and deliberately chan

"Damn it!" Leopold cursed under his breath. He could only watch Tabitha drag the man out and disappear from the cafe entrance.Then it hit him. Tabitha had been holding the man's sleeve tightly as she ran.A smile crept onto his face—Derek was being cheated on!Thinking about that, Leopold's mood instantly lifted.He stripped off his soiled white jacket and tossed it to his attendant. "Put this bill on Derek's tab. And send him the dry-cleaning bill for this suit, too."Tabitha was in Seattle. With his resources, she couldn't escape him.Leopold pulled out his phone and called Derek. It rang several times before being forwarded to Alvin's phone."Alpha Leopold, Alpha Derek is in an important meeting right now. He can't take calls. Is there something urgent?" Alvin's voice sounded cautious through the receiver.Leopold leaned against the wall, his tone dripping with schadenfreude. "It's nothing major for me. Just tell him
