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 puThird 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
Catherine's POV Just as I was happy because it had all worked out, I heard my phone ring non-stop. I picked up my phone and took a look. It was Blake. I sighed, took my phone, and quickly walked out of the office. I picked up the phone after I walked to a place with no one around. "Hey..." "What's going on with you and Leo?" asked Blake over the phone. I was prepared. However, my heart still skipped a beat when I heard his angry voice. "Can't you realize it's just hype? What do you think?" I wanted to sound more assertive, but I could only hear the guilt in my voice. "Who told you to go to him? Don't you know who he is?" Blake said coldly. "I went to him for help. Who knew that there would be paparazzi taking photos?" I felt so aggrieved. "Come to my office. We'll talk in person!" ordered Blake. I froze and immediately refused, "No. I still have work to do. If you have anything to say to me, wait till we're back
Blake's POV When I returned to my office, I found two uninvited guests sitting there. They were Howard and Benjamin. "Why are you here?" Howard and Benjamin looked at each other, and Benjamin said, "We read about Catherine and Leo's affair early in the morning, and we came to show our concern." When Howard saw that I was silent, he asked in a low voice, "Blake, maybe you should talk to Leo and let him clear things out." "He's right. No one will ask any questions as long as Leo sets things straight. He can also go public with your relationship with Catherine," Benjamin said. "Thanks for looking out for me. I still need to talk to her about this." I had thought the same as them already. When I invited Catherine over, I wanted to talk to her about this. Unfortunately, she was scared away by my enthusiasm. "Blake, I've never seen you care so much about a woman." Howard smiled meaningfully. Benjamin glared at Howard and sai
Blake's POV I hung up the phone and looked up. I saw Leo looking at me with surprise. "What?" I asked. "You just told Grandma that Catherine is your mate. Why did you lie to her?" I said seriously, "I did not lie to her. I wanted Catherine to be with me." "What?" Leo could not believe what he heard. He was a little dazed. Then he said, "Has Catherine agreed to be with you?" "She will, for the sake of the kids." I was confident. Before, when I took the kids away from her, I saw how desperate she was. I knew at that moment that she would absolutely sacrifice anything for them. Leo frowned. "Then aren't you using the kids to force her into the corner? What's the point?" "I just need to be with her. Do you understand?" I wanted to say that I had fallen in love with her, but I found it hard to say these words in front of Leo. "Blake, aren't you always picky about women?" asked Leo. "I was. But not anymo
Catherine's POV After I hung up the phone, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw a tall figure leaning against the wall behind me. I quickly put my phone behind me, and asked unhappily, "How long have you been standing there?" "Who were you talking to?" asked Blake. I paused. "A friend." After saying that, I walked around him and quickly walked towards the bedroom. He followed me into the bedroom. "I have something to tell you." "What?" I turned to him. "Leo will hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify your relationship with him," said Blake in a low voice. He paused and continued, "And he's going to make another announcement." I stared at him in surprise. "What else?" "He will state to others that you are my girlfriend." "How could you let him say that?" I was a little angry. Blake raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Don't forget that we have signed an agreement. Even if things go public, it will be
Catherine's POV I sat with the kids at the dining table, and the atmosphere seemed warm. "Daddy, is there an amusement park around here? I want to go there," Noah suddenly asked. Blake glanced at my face and casually replied, "Ask your mommy. She makes the decisions now." I stopped eating and looked at him strangely. He seemed easy to talk to today. "Really? Mommy, you now have the right to speak. Daddy has delegated the power to you!" Noah grinned. After I took a bite of the macaroni, I said lightly, "That's right. So, regarding the matter you mentioned just now, I reject it." "What?" Noah's happiness only lasted for two seconds. His face fell. "Why? Hedwig and I have never been there. I heard others say that there are all kinds of delicious food and fun things in the amusement park. I want to go there!" As soon as Hedwig heard his words, her gem-like eyes immediately lit up. "Really? Noah, what kind of food do they h
Third People's POV After what happened last time, Emerson's condition got worse quickly. Blake did not know if Richard would ever regret what he did. Right now, Blake simply wanted to spare Emerson any regrets. Then, it was time for him to settle accounts with Richard and Nick. Therefore, with Catherine's consent, in less than a month, he and Catherine sent out wedding invitations after their engagement. Abigail and Patricia gave Catherine a white wedding dress that cost nearly 10 million with thousands of diamonds on it. Catherine was so moved that her eyes turned red after learning that Abigail and Patricia had given her such a precious gift. Their ring had been custom-made a long time ago. It was a rarity with only the best diamonds, and it took the most skilled craftsmen nearly a month to polish. The ring, which had yet to be named, was finally given a name by the purchaser, Blake, and he called it "the one". It was Catherine's wedding
Catherine's POV In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today. On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet. Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything. The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied. Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married. At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party. Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dar
Third People's POV The next morning, the news of Blake and Catherine's engagement was spread. It was not discovered by the reporters. Instead, because the Chavez Pack had sent the invitations early in the morning, the people who were invited would naturally talk about it. Thus, some media outlets took the opportunity to report it. They did not exaggerate the engagement banquet and simply reported it. The media and reporters were smart enough and knew clearly about what they could report unrestrainedly and whom they couldn't afford to offend. Blake was a good example. The rumors about him on the internet would always be removed in less than an hour. Therefore, if someone was ignorant and posted something about Blake randomly, he would never be able to bear the consequences. He would lose his job, implicated the entire company he was in, and even go to jail. Emily browsed the news on the internet with an ashen face. Blake and Catherine were about to get engaged.
Blake's POV Inside the manor. Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently. Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy. After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her. Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm. My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in
Blake's POV The night fell. I returned home at six o'clock in the evening. My face was cloudy. At this time, Richard should have arrived home. The car stopped outside Mountaintop Villa. I strode into the parlor. Dowen quickly came over and greeted me. "Is Richard here?" I asked in a low voice. Dowen pointed upstairs. "He just arrived. Now he is talking to Emerson and Patricia upstairs." I frowned deeply and snorted in my heart. I had made a difficult decision that I would not do anything to Richard when Emerson was still alive. However, if he kept making trouble, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. I climbed the stairs. I did not go up to see Emerson and Patricia immediately. Instead, I walked to the toy room. Then, I saw two little guys quietly practicing writing and drawing. Catherine sat gently on one side and was teaching them. Under the warm light, the scene of two children staying with their mom looked sweet. "Daddy
Blake's POV I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?" "I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it." "Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent. Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves." "Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision. When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger.
Third People's POV At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time. Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day. The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet. This matter had already come to an end. On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitud
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation? I
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
