Alpha's Wife Hunt (Tabitha and Derek) novel Chapter 4

Tabitha's POV

Derek walked into the room.

He released the Alpha power on me, and I immediately felt suffocating as if an invisible wall was pressing against me.

I lifted my head defiantly, only to see him looking at Daphne with gentle eyes. "Are you OK?" he asked her.

Daphne glanced my way, smirking with victory written all over her face.

I clenched my fists in fury.

Daphne leaned closer to Derek with a smile and said, "Derek, thank God you're here. When I walked past the Financial Office, I heard someone arguing, so I came in to see what was going on. I didn't expect to come across Tabitha trying to take money."

"Miss Sutton, do you hear yourself? You're nothing but a mistress. Do you really think you're Black Thorn Pack's Luna?" I sneered.

"You tryna take money?" Derek turned his head and asked me slowly.

"No!" I said, biting my lip.

"Tabitha's lying," Tiffany chimed in. "A minute ago, she ordered me to withdraw money for her, and I said no. Then she tried to force me."

"I'm your Luna. Can't I even take 20,000 dollars?"

Every member of the Black Thorn Pack knew that Derek favored Daphne, and no one saw me as their Luna anymore.

I looked up and met Derek's cold and indifferent gaze. The black suit accentuated his figure, making him look sharp and stylish.

It reminded me of the first time we met. He was wearing a handsome and warm smile, something I had never seen later on.

Right now, his poker face showed no emotion at all. "That's right. You can't," he replied, fixing his cold gaze on me.

Holding back tears, I bit my lip to stop myself from crying. "I'm still the Luna."

Derek smiled sarcastically, "Seems to me that you're no different from a thief. Call yourself a competent Luna."

Never in my mind was stealing on the books. I just wanted to save Dad. I planned to give it back once I got the divorce settlement.

I was about to answer when my abdominal wound pained me.

Derek and Daphne stood next to each other, appearing like each other's fated mates.

Suddenly, I found it unnecessary to explain. He was in love with someone else. However hard I tried to defend myself, he wouldn't buy it.

I stepped back, swallowing my pain.

I didn't want to show weakness in front of Derek. Though I was in so much pain that I felt like fainting, I still managed to walk steadily.

As I passed Derek, I said, "As long as you haven't rejected me, I'm still the Luna. If you don't wanna see me again, come with me to the Council of Elders now."
