Catherine's POV
Hearing my words, Blake looked up again. His eyes were glowing with determination. "I've thought it through. I want you to be my Lycan Luna." "Blake, you're insane!" How could he say this at this sensitive moment? And it sounded like he had feelings for me! "I am not insane at all. I have already made up my mind. I am not joking." Blake took a few steps forward. "I'm attracted to you." When I saw him come closer to me, I couldn't help but take a few steps back. My heart was beating so fast, and my mind was blank. I didn't expect that Blake would say to me that he had feelings for me right now. Eva never said Blake was my mate. Even if he fell in love with me, what should he do when he met his real mate someday? Plus, he didn't really know me. Even if he was capable enough to see me through, how well did I know him? That night emerged in my mind again. He frightened me utterly back then. It made me feelCatherine's POV After wandering for a while, I simply threw my pencil away and decided to let go. Wandering wouldn't help at all. Life would continue anyway. I drove home. In the brightly lit parlor, my two kids were playing happily. Hedwig always liked to be Noah's tail. Wherever he went, she followed, while kept staring at him with her big, innocent eyes. She did it on purpose, since she knew he could do nothing about it. "You dropped your eyeballs. Pick them up!" Noah suddenly said to her. Hedwig widened her eyes and instinctively looked down. Then she reached out and touched her eyes. "My eyes are still there. I didn't drop them. Noah, you're lying." Noah chuckled. "You are indeed a fool, Hedwig. How can you still see me if you drop your eyeballs?" "Noah, you are so bad. You are lying! I will tell mommy!" Hedwig went upset at once. She turned around and saw me standing at the door. She immediately ran to me excitedly. "Mommy, yo
Catherine's POV I panicked and quickly explained, "Yes, I'm out with a friend. She brought her kids here. Harley, I've got to go. Talk to you later. I'll congratulate you properly when I see you!" I quickly held my phone in my hand and looked down. I saw the two kids staring at me in a daze. Noah narrowed his eyes. "Mommy, were you on the phone with some man? When we called you just now, you ignored us and said we were your friend's children. I'm so sad." I knew Noah was discontent. Just as I was about to squat down to comfort him, I turned around and saw a tall figure leaning against the door behind me. Blake stared at me without blinking. His hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his face seemed a bit livid. "Noah, I'm sorry. Mommy doesn't want him to know about you yet. Don't be angry, OK?" I deliberately ignored Blake and comforted Noah in a low voice. Hedwig blinked innocently. "Mommy, who was he? Why don't you want him
Catherine's POV Blake became serious and scolded Noah, "Watch your mouth. You're going to make Hedwig cry." Noah curled his lips in disapproval. "What can she do besides act pettish in front of you?" Hearing that, Hedwig cried. I heard Noah's words and then looked at Hedwig, who was leaning against Blake's arms pitifully. I thought about it, and I realized that Noah was right. Hedwig did like to act pettish. Blake immediately said to Noah, "That's what makes a girl adorable. Don't you understand?" Noah was stunned and suddenly grinned. "Daddy, are you saying this to my mommy? You're saying that she's too stubborn and doesn't know how to act pettish, right?" "That's not what I meant!" Blake immediately tried to defend himself. I wondered who he was explaining to. "I'm done. You guys take your time. Be good and listen to Dowen. Don't be late for class." I stood up and wiped my mouth with a tissue. After telling the two kids, I
Catherine's POV As I walked over, I heard a lot of such discussions, and I was even more upset. I never thought this kind of thing would happen to me. Back in my seat, I clicked on the website to find the contact information of the seller. However, the dress wasn't available anymore. I was about to snap. I thought whoever was behind this was making a fool of me. After I found out about this, they wanted to erase everything! I just gained a bit of popularity in the fashion industry. However, it was all gone in the blink of an eye because of this Lorelei incident. All the contact information was gone. Therefore, I decided to go to the surveillance room, hoping that I could find something there. If someone stole my draft, they must have done it in this office. I had to go and find out who it was. When I came to the surveillance room, I found that the surveillance cameras weren't functioning these days. Only one of them was still workin
Blake's POV Catherine took me wrong this morning and left angrily. But I was still in a good mood. I actually found her cute when she was angry. A few days ago, Catherine joked that she wanted to be with my friend, which touched my nerve. It was my sore spot. Leroy took over my body in an instant. I managed to be rational and kept Leroy in control, so I didn't shift. However, I still frightened Catherine. But I didn't want to tell her why my wolf suddenly took over my body. It was about the secret concerning me and Leo. I didn't want her to know that my mother betrayed my father. I was in my office, dealing with business. Henry knocked on the door. When I saw Henry, I asked plainly, "What is it?" "King Blake, I just heard something. It's about Ms. Wyatt. She's in a dispute." I looked up and stared at Henry. "What happened to her? Tell me the details." "Ms. Wyatt designed a dress for a female star, but someone pu
Third person's POV After Lorelei taught Catherine a lesson, she returned to the company. Then she packed up her things and headed home. She drove a red sports car and lived in an upscale community. She only occasionally returned to her parent's place in Sunset Pack. Today's performance should have been a success. However, Lorelei's reputation was badly damaged because of the dress she wore. There were a lot of negative comments online, criticizing her bad taste, which made Lorelei hate Catherine's guts. Lorelei slapped Catherine today, yet she still felt that it was not enough. Later, Lorelei's agent told her that her popularity seemed to have risen a lot, since her dress had become a trending topic. Therefore, she felt a little better. Whether people were criticizing her or not, as long as her popularity rose, it was a good thing for her, a star. Lorelei had been on her phone after she entered the elevator. When she reached the door, she
Catherine's POV I did not care about the discussions of the people around me. After all, they all knew that Leo was, in fact, from the royal family. What made me wary was the online news. I walked back to my desk, turned on my laptop, and hurriedly found the piece of news. In just a few minutes, it had nearly a million hits. "How could this be?" I was dumbfounded, feeling like my world was collapsing. The entertainment media people were unbelievable. All I did was stand there and talk to Leo, and now I was pictured as his mysterious girlfriend. What was more, a photo revealing my face was also included. "They are making all of these up out of thin air!" I felt the urge to find these people and beat them hard. With just a few casual words, they turned a misunderstanding into a fact. They earned hits and popularity, while I was left with suspicion and disdain. Vanessa entered the office. When I looked up, I happened to see the
Catherine's POV Hearing the figure from Melinda, Vanessa was desperate. Her face turned deadly pale. For an ordinary werewolf, it was simply a whopping price. Sure enough, Vanessa said with a trembling voice, "Melinda, it's indeed my fault. I can go and apologize to Lorelei. But I can't afford the penalty. I don't have that much money." Melinda sneered, "Then I guess you should pay the police station a visit and reflect on your mistakes there." "No! No... Don't take me to the police. I made a mistake because I was jealous. Melinda, Catherine, please don't tell on me. I will find a way to give you the money." When Vanessa heard that Melinda was going to call the police, she hurriedly begged. "OK. Pay the penalty, admit your mistake publicly, and apologize to Catherine. Things will be settled then," Melinda said coldly and ruthlessly. Vanessa was reluctant. "Melinda, I have already agreed to pay the money. I can't stay here if everyon
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
Third Person's POVThe Royal Packhouse was filled with a festive atmosphere.Patricia woken up early and went with Dowen to select a series of holiday-themed furniture and decorations.Meanwhile, Catherine was still playing with the two little ones in the spacious manor. Today, Catherine decided to take the kids to the lush, green corridor to enjoy the scenery.Both children were dressed in thick down jackets—Noah in blue and Hedwig in bright pink.Despite being fraternal twins, their height difference was already noticeable. Noah was clearly half a head taller than Hedwig, making them look like true siblings.Hedwig was a true little foodie. Ever since she moved into Blake's home, she had been well-nourished and had become chubby, like a round little ball.She wore a small knitted hat that only revealed her delicate little face, looking like a cute little elf, extremely adorable.Due to the recent poor weather conditions
Third Person's POVBlake turned around sharply, his eyes pausing for a moment as he saw the woman behind him.The next second, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Don't come out here."Catherine felt the warmth of Blake's palm and her heart softened.Sure enough, Blake quickly dropped the cigarette in his hand onto the damp floor beside him, where it was extinguished.Catherine was almost forcibly pulled back inside by Blake. The next second, he closed the door, shutting out the cold.His palm was warm, but he radiated a chill all over.Catherine's face was pale from the cold, but she still whispered, "Are you cold? You should take a shower quickly.""Hmm, let's go. Are the kids asleep?" Blake nodded and asked gently."Yeah, they're getting harder to put to bed these days," Catherine said with a sweet smile.Blake gently touched her long hair and said softly, "You've really been working hard. The older
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo cursed under his breath as he stormed back home, slamming the door shut behind him.He couldn't believe his first marriage proposal had been rejected. It was a real blow to his ego.But on second thought, Sunny wasn't the kind of person who acted on impulse like him. She was calm and thoughtful.Maybe that was exactly what he needed.If he was impulsive and she was level-headed, wouldn't they be the perfect match? Didn't a lasting marriage need a combination of such contrasting personalities?Thinking this way, Leo's lips curled up slightly. Maybe things weren't that bad after all.Sunny clutched her handbag tightly, her head feeling heavy and dizzy. The events of the past few days kept swirling in her mind, driving her crazy.If it weren't for the Olivia thing, she would have said yes without a second thought.Marrying Leo had been her teenage dream. Now that it was within reach, she ju
Third Person's POV"Say that again!" Leo's tone turned dangerous all of a sudden. How dare she say something like that?Sunny sighed softly. "Leo, this constant on-and-off thing between us seems pointless. Every time we're together, I find myself falling for you even more. And every time we part, the hurt gets worse. Unless... unless you marry me and I become your wife, and we have a reason that can't be undone, I can't stay with you peacefully."It took all of Sunny's courage to say that. She thought Leo would laugh at her for even suggesting marriage. How greedy of her to ask for that!"Alright, I'll marry you!" After thinking for just three seconds, Leo replied."Wha..." Sunny couldn't believe her ears. Did she just hear Leo agree to marry her? Was she dreaming?Suddenly, Leo grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her closer. "I said, I'll marry you. And we can get engaged right away!""Are... are you serious? Actually, I was just jok
