Alpha’s - Alpha’s CHAPTER 28
Chapter 28
Tabitha’s POV
Finally, I returned to the Black Thorn Pack. Thank God I had put on a jacket when I left home. Or the pack guards’d definitely notice the blood on my shirt.
Biting back the pain, I rushed to the Alpha villa.
As expected, no one was there. No signs of Omega coming to clean up.
A soon–to–be–ditched Luna like me, of course, wouldn’t have any privilege.
After taking off my coat, I walked to the bathroom with a first–aid kit.
Good thing that my wound had been healing fine, so this attack only caused minor bleeding. I didn’t
need to go to Orson.
To avoid leaving any traces like last time, I rinsed the blood off my clothes real good before tossing. them into the washing machine.
After handling all that, I threw myself on the bed, trying to get some rest. The tiny bit of pain in my abdomen got me a bit agitated.
Well, not exactly. Vilda was the real cause.
Just when I was onto a clue, she came out and rendered all my effort pointless. Damn it!
I couldn’t help recalling Vilda’s image.
Her clothes were all ragged and wrecked. If she had found her mate, like Albert said, how would she end up like this?
And her scent showed she was still a rogue, not belonging to any pack.
Plus, she seemed to have lost her marbles.
She was tuning in to her name, but that was it. The only thing that was left in her was probably pure
wolf instinct.
Who did this to her? And why was she attacking me the minute she spotted me?
For some reason, I felt kinda creepy, the confidence that I got everything under control all gone.
“Is all this mess really tied up with Dad?” I couldn’t help but ask Crystal in my mind, but she made no

Frustrated, I kept hollering at her, “What am I supposed to do?”
Never in my life was I so dismayed.
Suddenly, the door burst open, snapping me back to reality.
Then Derek stormed in like a mad lion.
Startled, I sat up from the bed, meeting his gaze.
He pulled a long face, his eyes icy.

I asked, all confused, “What’s wrong?”

Derek loomed over me, his presence sending a chill down my spine. Under his intense gaze, I was scared out of my wits.
“You ever left the pack today?” he hissed.
I nodded, whispering, “I went out for a bit this afternoon. Got somethin‘ to attend to.”
“Oh, yeah? What is it?” Derek coldly snorted before slamming a stack of photos in front of me. “Murder?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I snapped, picking them up.
But when I saw the face in the photos, my blood was running cold,
It was Vilda, lying in a pool of blood with her eyes closed. Her face was as white as a sheet. Judging from the surroundings, she was at Bruto Street in the city south, the place I had just visited.
“No way, she’s dead? Wait, you’re pinning this on me?” I exclaimed in disbelief.
Derek but his presence alone was chilling me to the marrow.

He swallowed hard, then he said in a hoarse voice, “I wish you have nothing to do with it as much as you do. You left the pack this afternoon. Then someone werewolves living on Bruto Street caught you fighting with Vilda. Now, how are you gonna explain it?”
So he didn’t trust me at all. How ridiculous. “I went there cuz I got questions for her. I was wondering why she didn’t join the Crescent Pack. I’m just

I kill her? It’s not gonna do me any good.”
Derek sneered, his long fingers lifting my chin, his thumb grazing my lip. “What a shame. You would’ve been perfect if you weren’t so full of lies. She’s a witness to John’s crimes. If you killed her, no one was gonna prove him guilty!”
“I can’t be the only person she met today. There’s gonna be other suspects!” I retorted.
Sadly, Derek was too enraged to hear my explanation. He just tightened his grip on my chin, his eyes drowned in disappointment.
“Tabitha, you have no idea how much I wished you were innocent. I’ve had my men digging up proof to clear your name, but everything is telling me that you’re the culprit. You think getting back at Vilda’s gonna make John come around?”
He was determined to pin the whole mess on me. No matter how hard I tried to defend myself, he wouldn’t believe me. So I just stopped saying anything.
Derek’s fingers traced down my chin, finally landing on my slender neck.
His eyes were bloodshot, like those of a beast who was going nuts.
Sensing danger, I tried pulling away from him, yelling, “Let go.”
His grip on my neck left me breathless. I kept struggling, fighting to stay alive.
“Tabitha, I was planning to let you go. But you disappointed me. Again!”
Derek’s face was getting more twisted by the second, his eyes out of focus. “Perhaps we’ll both be free of pain if we’re dead, what do you say?” he cooed.
