Catherine's POV With Mabel's help, I quickly cooked three plates of spaghetti bolognese, and Mabel fried eggs and two slices of ham for Noah and Hedwig. We ate up all the spaghetti soon. "Noah, take Hedwig to our room." I had something to tell Mabel, but I didn't want to say it in front of Noah and Hedwig. After the two children returned to the room, Mabel came to sit by me. "Catherine, what happened? You don't look very well," Mabel asked with concern. "Mable, he wants to take the children away." As soon as I began to talk, the grievances I had felt today appeared again, and my tears streamed down. "What?" Mabel looked shocked. She lowered her voice and asked, "You really found Noah and Hedwig's father?" I wiped my tears and sobbed. "Noah's aura is different from that of an ordinary werewolf. And that man even asked the doctor to check him." "Then what should we do? What kind of person is he? How can he take the children away? Catherine, you raised Noah and Hedwig
Catherine's POV "What?" I was in disbelief. Harley was a good-looking gentleman. Especially when he smiled, he could be so attractive to girls. It was hard for me to imagine that such a gentle guy like Harley would become the Gamma of the pack, much less that my father would have him protect Gina specially. What made me feel even more disappointed was that Harley was now following Gina like her servant. It was hard for me to accept this fact. Gina did it on purpose apparently. I once saw her staring at me with a proud smile. "Catherine, Harley is so sweet and considerate. He is so good to me. I'm so happy to have him as my protector." Gina's voice was soft and pleasant. Besides, what she said was full of praise for Harley. Harley was happy after hearing this. His handsome face was tinged with a trace of shyness. "Gina, you flattered me. It is my honor to work for you." I stared at the shy smile on his face blankly . His smiley face was carved in my memories. "Harle
Catherine's POV "Please!" Henry was happy to hear that. As expected, the moment Gina heard that I was going up to see Blake, she froze. "Stop!" Gina suddenly shouted and then quickly walked up to me. "Don't you want your mother's necklace? Come back with me now to get it." Hearing her words, I was slightly stunned. "This is your only chance to get it back. I won't give you a second chance!" Gina said fiercely. I bit my lip and said coldly, "Fine. I'll go with you to get it. You'd better not lie to me this time!" "Of course. Let's go!" Gina even reached out and grabbed my arm as if she was afraid that I would turn around and go upstairs to see Blake. "Catherine, Mr. Chavez is still waiting for you upstairs." "Let him wait. He takes himself too seriously," I said angrily. When Gina heard what I said, she snorted and raised the corners of her mouth. Henry shrugged helplessly, while Harley was in a daze. Gina didn't wait for Harley. She pulled me out of the resta
Gina's POV I knew the whereabouts of the obsidian necklace that Catherine was talking about, but I just didn't want to tell her. Seeing her so upset about not being able to find it, I felt so much better. But then I thought of the fact that Blake had already noticed Catherine. It made me frustrated again. No way. This had to stop. I had to drive Catherine away. On no ground could Blake meet her. But I was the future Lycan Luna now. I couldn't risk ruining my fame. "I told you already. As long as you agree with my condition, I will give you the obsidian necklace and the money. Well? What do you say?" I asked complacently. Things that could be solved with money were nothing. "What condition?" Catherine seemed so eager to get that necklace back. "It's very simple, actually. I'll give you 100 thousand dollars a month if you leave New Jersey tomorrow and swear never to return. I will also find the necklace for you. How does that sound?" I thought my offer was good enough f
Noah's POV "Noah, come get me, come get me..." Hedwig had just taken a shower. She was wearing pajamas and running around the living room. After I chased her several rounds, I felt tired and said, "I'm done. This is no fun." "No! Noah, play with me." Hedwig pouted and pulled my arm, swaying it. At this time, the door of Mabel's place was suddenly pushed open, and I turned to see. Mommy was back. "Mommy is back!" I ran over and hugged her. "Mommy, did you go on a date with someone?" Mommy could not help but chuckle. "You are thinking too much. I was just hanging out with a friend." "Mommy, I want to see daddy again. OK?" Hedwig also squeezed over. Her two small hands held mommy's other leg pitifully. Hedwig raised her little head and pleaded. When mommy heard Hedwig's request, she immediately squatted down and stroked Hedwig's little head. Mommy said gently, "Hedwig, don't you have Noah? Let's not look for daddy, OK? Mommy will take you back to our previous place. The
Catherine's POV I told Mabel that I would go back to Pennsylvania with Noah and Hedwig. Although Mabel wanted me to stay in New Jersey, she supported me. I calmed myself down and planned to put Noah and Hedwig to bed. When I opened the door, I saw Noah with his eyes closed. Hedwig was standing beside Noah, looking at him curiously and quietly. I couldn't have been more familiar with this scene. I knew immediately that Noah was contacting someone through Middle-Link because it was exactly how I looked when I was learning how to use Mind-Link. But, how could Noah know how to use Mind-Link? We didn't join any pack, so who could he talk to through Mind-Link? I couldn't help but ask loudly, "Noah, what are you doing? Are you using Mind-Link?" My arrival caught Noah by surprise. He was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes. Then he looked at me in alarm. The next second, the two little guys lowered their heads, looking pitiful. "Noah, were you using Mind-Link just now? Wh
Catherine's POV Noah and Hedwig bid Mabel farewell. I also hugged Mabel. "Mabel, you can come to visit us in Pennsylvania when you get time," I said with a bit of sadness. "Cathy, be careful and take good care of Noah and Hedwig," Mabel cautioned. "I got it. Goodbye, Mabel." My Uber was here and I put my luggage in the car. Then I helped Noah and Hedwig into the car. Finally, I sat in and closed the door. The car started, and we set out for Pennsylvania. In the taxi, Hedwig seemed to be in low spirits and stayed silent, while Noah lowered his head and sighed constantly. "Alright, you two, cheer up. Mommy will take you to the amusement park..." I comforted them. "Will daddy go with us?" Hedwig asked in anticipation. I was slightly stunned. I held Hedwig in my arms and held her tightly. I rested my chin on Hedwig's head and said softly, "Hedwig, mommy will always be there for you. I'll watch you grow up. Forget about daddy, okay?" Noah understood what I meant a
Catherine's POV "Your apology is meaningless to me. I hope that you won't take my two children away. I can't leave them." I don't want him to apologize, which couldn't solve the problem. "Then do you have a better way to solve this problem?" asked Blake. I bit my lower lip and was flustered. Previously, Blake acted like a bandit. So I could still throw a tantrum and curse at him. But when he talked about our children with such a calm and rational tone, I found... my mind went blank. "I don't know..." I lowered my head and answered him at a loss. "How about this? Just let Noah and Hedwig live with me for a few days and then with you for a few days..." Blake seemed to feel it was fair. "I don't want to be separated from them for a single day. Let them live with me, and you can come to us if you want to," I said. I bit my lower lip and didn't want to compromise. "Catherine, do you want our children to be in danger? You know that I am Lycan King, and you also know that t
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
Third Person's POV"Her fear of having kids and marriage comes from her mom. Asking her mom to talk to her would definitely backfire," Benjamin said with a bitter smile.Cedrick instantly thought of that stubborn and snobbish lady. Yeah, her personality could definitely leave a psychological shadow on a kid.The office fell into silence. Clearly, these two guys who were always decisive in business were at a loss when it came to women's stuff. They seemed clumsy and lost their usual sharpness."Has Eda decided she doesn't want the baby?" Cedrick asked after a while.A heavy look crossed Benjamin's face. "Yeah, she asked me if she could not have it, and I just blurted out 'yes' without thinking."Cedrick was speechless.It seemed that when it came to the woman you loved, everyone could lose their head."What should I do? I feel like I haven't been honest with her. I lied. I actually really like kids," Benjamin's face showed a hin
Third Person's POVEda froze. She had thought that once Benjamin knew she was someone who feared marriage and children, he would be disappointed in her. But instead, he said he didn't regret it."You don't have to comfort me. You can tell me the truth. I have a strong mind. I can handle it," Eda said, thinking he was just saying nice things to make her feel better.But this time, Benjamin looked straight into her eyes, speaking slowly and seriously, "I really don't regret it, Eda. I love you, and I support whatever choice you make.""But your family will definitely want us to have kids in the future. I'm really under a lot of pressure now," Eda said. She looked happy but also more worried."My brother and his mate are also planning to start a family and have kids. In our future life together, I want to respect your feelings more," Benjamin said with a smile on his handsome face, as if this wasn't something to worry about.Eda was stunned aga
Third Person's POVEda's words left Benjamin dazed for a second, and the next moment, his lips pressed firmly against her chattering mouth.Eda's mind went completely blank—how could she possibly recall anything with such a surprise? Her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.Fortunately, Benjamin only kissed her for two seconds before he let go. Then, he whispered reassuringly into her ear, "It's okay. Maybe the doctor misdiagnosed it. Let's get it confirmed.""I'm such an idiot!" Eda suddenly slapped her forehead. "Pregnant people do have constant vomiting. I initially thought it was just something I ate wrong. Now it looks like I might really be pregnant. Benjamin, what are we going to do?"Benjamin gazed deeply into her beautiful eyes and said firmly, "What else can we do? We'll get married and have the baby. Then we'll start a little family of our own.""No way!" Eda froze, and then her lips began to tremble. "I'm not ready to ge
Third Person's POV"What's wrong? Did you eat something cold?" Benjamin received the call early in the morning, and his face instantly filled with concern as he anxiously asked."Maybe. I should have known better than to drink that iced milk yesterday," Eda complained, full of regret."Wait there. I'm coming to get you!" Without a moment's delay, Benjamin hurriedly got out of bed and started getting dressed."Come pick me up at the company. I'll head there first." Eda said before hanging up and driving towards the office.At half past nine, Benjamin appeared at the door of Eda's office, dressed in a dark blue suit. He looked young, handsome, and had that charming, youthful vibe.Eda was sitting listlessly in her office chair. A flicker of relief crossed her eyes when she saw him enter."Are you here?" Ever since she had been with Benjamin, Eda's aura had changed. Once a no-nonsense, strong-willed career woman, she now exuded a touch o
