141.Rogue Faction

Tabitha’s POV“Mom?!” I exclaim as I stare at her in disbelief.My mom looks just as stunned to see me, but the shock on her face quickly hardens as she turns to Wilson.“Why did you bring her here?” she demands.“She was going to find out sooner or later.” Wilson shrugs. “It’s better that she hears the truth from us instead of piecing it together on her own. I don’t want her ruining our plans.”Their plan? Now, I really need to know what’s going on here!“Okay someone please tell me what is really happening,” I say as I step forward. “I agreed to meet with you here at an ungodly hour because you said you would finally tell me the truth about everything. About why you were talking to my mom the other day and about the crazy accusations you threw at the Aldairs. But I didn’t expect to actually see my mom here.” I throw a wary look at my mom who is now frowning.Wilson raises a brow. “Crazy accusations? You think I am just making things up?”“I told you she’s not ready,” my mom hisses.

142. Hallucination

Tabitha’s POVMy stomach drops. Those eyes… he’s a werewolf!“W-What the… H-How?” The words tumble down my mouth as I gape at him.There’s no way this is real. I am convinced that I actually had a stroke five minutes ago and everything I am seeing now is a hallucination.Mario is human. He should be human. I grew up thinking that he is! He is a fisherman who smells like salt and diesel. He used to argue with my dad over bait prices and complain about broken nets. He had calloused hands and a tired laugh. He was human! I have known him all my life and there was never anything strange about him. He lent my dad a boat when no one else would. He joked with navy officers at the pier. He was ordinary. So how am I staring at crimson eyes that belong to a werewolf?Seeing me frozen, Wilson steps in.“It is time that you learn the truth,” he declares. “Mario is the leader of the rogue faction on this island. He commands every rogue werewolf in Kaelara and this house, your old house, has been t

143.Something Special

Tabitha’s POVMario sighs.“Yeah, it’s true. They call us rogues because we won’t line up and swear ourselves to Crystal Ridge, Stormblood, or Deathclaw packs. Ain’t too keen on bending the knee to those puffed-up Alphas. That’s part of it.” His teeth grit at the mention of the Alphas as if just the thought of them grates at his nerves. “But let me ask you something, kid. Where do you think rogues come from? You think we just wash up on shore with the tide?”Come to think of it, I have never asked myself that. I glance at my mom who is just quietly observing my exchange with Mario.“Tell me, then. Where did the rogue werewolves on this island come from? And what do you mean the ones who attacked me before weren’t part of your group?” I ask impatiently.Wilson straightens against the wall as he warily looks at Mario. He looks anxious but also keen on hearing how Mario will meet my curiosity. I have a feeling that once I get an answer to my questions, then there’s no turning back for me

144.Family’s downfall

Tabitha’s POVAs we near the Aldair estate, my mom tells me she will take a different route and instructs me to do the same on my way back to my room. Being seen together would only raise suspicion.“Make sure you avoid the CCTVs scattered around the grounds. It should be easy while it’s still dark.”When I return safely to my room, even the comfort of my bed isn’t enough to make me process what just happened to me that night.**“Here, take this.” Jace hands me a turkey sandwich.I frown at it. It’s already late in the afternoon and I’m sweaty after spending the last few hours doing target practice again, even though I was too distracted to land a decent shot on any of them.“I’m not hungry,” I say, wiping my face with a towel.“How is that even possible when all you had for lunch was air? And you skipped breakfast too.” Reed chimes in. He’s helping Evren and Luca disassemble the guns. There are only five of us in the shooting range today.“The air was especially flavorful today,” I

145.Gifts

Tabitha’s POVShe beams at me. Anyone watching would think she’s going all out to make her stepsons’ birthday perfect. I’d probably believe it too, if I didn’t know that the smile on her lips and the spark in her eyes are nothing more than an act.Her attention shifts to the man who approaches her from behind. Alpha Emery. My mom’s husband wraps his arm around her waist and plants a sweet kiss on her cheek. My mom smiles at him.Look at that. Sure, Emery Aldair is an intimidating man, but he always appears to be a loving husband to my mother.Or maybe he’s just as good as her when it comes to wearing a mask. After all, he’s not exactly the greatest husband to his late wife or father to his children—his sons say so.“Tabitha…” he calls to me, so I walk towards them.“Yes?”“My sons may be a pain in the neck most of the time but tomorrow is a special day for them,” Alpha Emery declares, his arm still loosely wrapped around my mom’s waist.“Yes. Birthday, huh?”My stepfather hums. “It’s

146. Gifts

Tabitha’s POV“Maybe I’ll give you your gifts tonight.”It’s Reed’s turn to raise a brow. “Oh? Tonight? You’ve got a surprise for us, princess?”Heat floods my cheeks. I quickly glance around, scanning the garden to make sure no one close enough overheard or twisted that into something it wasn’t.“Don’t get too excited about it. You’ll get it later,” I say, forcing my voice steady while I fight the heat rising in my cheeks.The smile on Jace’s lips quiver. “Can’t we have it a little earlier? Why wait until tonight?”I bite my lip and scratch my nape. “Well, I’m—”“There go the birthday boys!” Evelyn sweeps between us and loops her arms around Jace and Reed. “How’s it going?”Elsie and Rhett trail behind her. Rhett just gives the brothers a curt nod while Elsie’s eyes are fixed on Reed.“Lame. I told the old man to skip the party this year, but he wouldn’t listen,” Jace mutters.Evren gently takes the empty plate from my hands and passes it to a nearby server. I mutter a thanks.“What?

147.Marriage and Matches

Tabitha’s POV“Oh, are you guys talking about the gifts?” Melanie asks as she steps up beside Evelyn.I turn and see Melanie with Isabel and Arthur right behind her.“Yes!” Evelyn says with a grin. “We were just comparing efforts. What did you three get the birthday boys, anyway?”Melanie laughs. “I am not revealing mine yet. I want to see their faces first.” She winks.“You are cruel,” Jace says, placing a hand over his chest.Isabel smiles at Luca before glancing at me. “I kept it simple this year. I figured practical is better.”“That sounds ominous,” Luca replies.As the brothers chat with Melanie and Isabel, Arthur walks towards me and gives me a polite nod.“Good evening, Tabitha. You look lovely tonight.”“Thank you. You clean up well too.”He flashes a charming smile.“Oh, you have something in your hair.” Arthur reaches out and carefully removes a tiny gold thread from the edge of my curls. “There you go…”“Thank you.”The brothers freeze mid-conversation. Reed looks visibly

148. Full moon

Tabitha’s POVAfter the speech, we move to a round table reserved for the Aldairs, the Sharpes, and the Becketts, along with the key figures from their respective packs. Beta Renston is the only member of the Crystal Ridge council in attendance, which explains why his daughter Isabel is here as well.My mom sits beside Alpha Emery. The brothers take their seats, and I settle in among them.I notice there are no humans at this table. Andrew is far away with the other human guests, completely oblivious to the werewolf politics unfolding here. The older folks start discussing pack matters, so I quietly focus on the food instead. At least everything looks delicious. I fill my plate with chocolate-covered strawberries—suddenly craving something sweet.“Here, you can take this one too,” Arthur says, noticing I can’t reach the plate of chunky hazelnuts. He nudges his plate closer to me.“Oh—uh, are you sure?” I ask, sheepishly.“No worries.” Arthur winks and smoothly transfers a couple of st

149.Special Celebration

Tabitha’s POV“So… nice party, huh?” Andrew asks as he slides next to the mini bar corner where I have retreated.Shrugging, I lift the margarita to my lips and chug it in one go. The burn hits my throat and I shrug as I set the empty glass down.“Damn, I did not know you drink that hard,” Andrew notes while staring at me in awe.I cough and press my fist to my mouth. “Yeah, well this is a party,” I reply once I can breathe. “They went out of their way to get a functioning bar corner. I might as well enjoy it.”I gesture at the bartender to give me another glass. After a while, he serves me my refill. Andrew shakes his head in disbelief before laughing.Then, he turns to the bartender. “I will have what she had please.”We both lean against the counter while the bartender mixes his drink.“Damn,” Andrew whistles as he glances around the garden. “This family is loaded. No wonder my dad is eager to strike a business partnership with him.”“Right, Mr. CEO’s son.”“Hey, even my dad isn’t

150.Dancing with werewolves

Tabitha’s POVMy heart pounds as he looks at me. His eyes hold something gentle, a far cry from the usual icy gaze he has. He leans down and kisses my forehead.“I will ask the maids to prepare something light when you wake up.”He looks at me one last time before turning to leave.So, I grab his arm, stopping him.“Are you really going to marry Melanie?” The words tumble out before I can stop them.He looks startled.“What would you rather have me do?”My gaze drops to the hands resting on my chest. I don’t know what answer I’m expecting from him, but this is definitely not it.He lifts his hand to touch my cheek. I turn my face away and glare at him.“Do you think she will make a good wife?” I spit bitterly.Shit. Maybe it’s the alcohol but I seem to have lost the ability to filter my thoughts before it vomits out of my mouth. But I don’t want to stop.“Yes,” he answers.I want to throw him out. And I’m a second away from doing it until he adds…“I think you are asking the wrong que
