Alpha's Wife Hunt のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 871 - チャプター 880

Osbert ignored the tension and strode to Tabitha's side."You must be Vanessa. Alban told me all about you. He said that there was a young woman with hands blessed by the Moon Goddess herself."Tabitha's fingertips trembled. She couldn't afford a single slip-up that might let him recognize her.Taking a deep breath, she kept her voice flat."Dr. Fairbank, glad to meet you."Osbert's eyes lingered on her face for a moment, searching for a familiar shadow. "Well, I'm a bit surprised. You're such a young woman. I'm getting a bit old for this. So, would you mind if I act as your second-in-command for the surgery?"The room went dead silent. Before Tabitha could even react, Michelle let out a piercing shriek."Dr. Fairbank, have you lost your mind? Why her?!" Michelle's eyes were bloodshot, her high-born arrogance flaring. "She's a nobody! How can she possibly be compared with Dr. Simmonds? My dad is the Lycan. If anything happens t

The heater hummed inside the car, a warm sanctuary against the blizzard raging outside.Tabitha blinked, putting on a mask of wide-eyed innocence."Derek, back when I first started at the academy, I watched my mentor perform a silver extraction. There was a world-famous surgeon there. Right as he was suturing the main artery, his hands started jerking like he'd been electrocuted. He almost killed the patient right then. Osbert did his best to save the guy. Wanna know who that 'famous' surgeon was?"Derek frowned. "You mean... Dr. Simmonds?"Tabitha let out a soft laugh, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Bingo."Her smile faded. "It's called 'Silver Tremor.' It's the ultimate taboo for doctors, a neurological breakdown from long-term silver exposure. It's almost impossible to cure. Once the pressure hits and he catches the scent of a High Alpha's blood, he loses all control. Algernon was shot near the heart; any doctor knows how risky that is. The s

The clock was ticking. Everyone was on edge, especially Bentley. He and Derek had been at each other's throats their entire lives, but for the first time, they wanted the same thing: the Lycan had to live, or the pack would rip itself apart.In the middle of this deathly silence, Michelle just wouldn't shut up."You guys seriously believe her? She looks younger than me! What makes her so special?""What makes her special?" Derek snapped, his eyes full of loathing. "The fact that her chances of saving your father are better than zero. Or, do you rather trust yourself?"Michelle was acting like a spoiled kid, yet was so fueled by jealousy and prejudice that she couldn't stand to see anyone else succeed."Aren't you still obsessed with Tabitha? Why are you suddenly caring for this woman? You've only known her for five minutes. Are you really that desperate?"Derek kept silent, ignoring her."Enough!" Cyrus said, releasing his Alpha aura.Michelle flinched, but she still had the nerve to

Now, only three men remained in the hallway.Cyrus sat on the bench, his posture as straight as a pine, hands resting on his knees. The window at the end of the hall was ajar, allowing a biting cold wind to pour in, yet none of the men flinched. The atmosphere was frozen, brittle as ice.Cyrus broke the silence, his voice cold. "My father's itinerary was top secret. Only a few people would know it. Someone on the inside leaked the information."Derek nodded, his expression grim. "I agree. Otherwise, given Lycan Algernon's power and the elite guards' protection, no one could have harmed him so easily."Cyrus's sharp gaze swept across their faces like a blade. "If I find out who among us did it, that person will die a miserable death. I'll personally flay him and hang his skin from a flagpole."It was a warning to both Derek and Bentley. As the two primary competitors for the succession, they had the strongest motives.Derek stood with his han

"Please consider it," Cyrus paused, "Rejecting a Lycan is never a wise move."Tabitha frowned. "And if I still refuse? What's the plan? Keep me prisoner?""If I wanted to, I could," Cyrus said bluntly. "But I hope you'll choose to stay."Tabitha let out a cold laugh. "If it wasn't for Derek, I wouldn't have agreed to come in the first place.""Don't get me wrong. My offer is sincere. My pack may be ruthless, but we are never ungrateful.""Let me think about it," she said.At this point, she was almost certain that Lucian was the one who had attempted to assassinate the Lycan. But something felt off. If Lucian had truly wanted him dead, why leave a sliver of hope, as if he intentionally leaving a mess for her to clean up?Lucian had once mentioned an arch-enemy he was sworn to kill. Was that enemy Algernon? Or someone else in this family?If so, Tabitha knew exactly where her loyalties lay: she would stand with Lucian. She had t
