Catherine's POV
After I left the study, I searched the room again for the necklace. I even lay on my stomach and looked under the bed carefully. But I still couldn't find the necklace. It just vanished. Was it really the maid who stole it? The royal pack had always been strict with the servants. How could a thief blend into the villa? I was very upset. I had a glimmer of hope when I heard Patricia say that she had an impression of the necklace. But what should I do now? I couldn't tell Patricia what the necklace looked like just by describing it. I was restless, then I thought of my phone. I quickly found it and turned it on. I checked through the photos in it. As I found the photos that I was looking for, I breathed a sigh of relief. I almost forgot that I had the photos of the necklace on my phone. I could show them to Patricia tomorrow. The next morning, clouds obscured the sun and shrouded the city in gloom.Blake's POV Instead of driving to my company, I drove along the mountain road and arrived at the villa at the top of the mountain. My grandparents lived here. I got out of the car and rushed upstairs. In the corridor, I saw Patricia sitting alone on the sofa on the balcony in a daze. She had a napkin in her hand and was wiping her tears in silence. I somehow felt depressed. My footsteps were heavy as I walked slowly toward Patricia. When I reached the door of the balcony, Patricia shouted sternly, "Stop there!" Her eyes were filled with tears. Then, I knew how serious the matter was. I stopped and stood quietly in front of her. "You knew Catherine's background a long time ago. Didn't you?" Patricia stared at me sharply, trying to get the truth from me. I kept silent and slightly lowered my head. I dared not look into Patricia's eyes, much less at my father's photo. In the photo, my father had a gentle smile on h
Catherine's POV I was a little surprised when I received Blake's call. I had something to ask him as well, so, I went straight to his company. For some reason, I felt panicked as I went up in the elevator. I had no clue why, but I knew something was wrong. When I reached the door of Blake's office, two assistants greeted me politely, "Lycan Luna, are you here to see King Blake?" Lycan Luna? The address reassured me a little. Everybody called me this when they saw me. I felt I was already Blake's wife. I couldn't help but feel happy about it. I found that happiness came just in time, and I could relax and enjoy this perfect life of mine. I knocked on the door. Blake answered, so I pushed the door open and walked toward him. He was sitting by his desk. But when I was halfway there, I paused, and my eyes widened. Because I saw two things on Blake's desk. One of them was the necklace that I lost. The other on
Catherine's POV "What difference does it make? Now that I know who you are, it's over between us." Blake was a little afraid to look me in the eye. I was in a mess and overwhelmed by the blows. Blake and I were separated by the desk. Suddenly, I felt as if we were never in love. We were so cold to each other, worse than strangers. "Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore. If you hate me and don't want to be with me, I will be out of your sight. You will never see me again. I just want my kids back. They are mine, mine alone!" Since Blake cut me out ruthlessly, I had no choice but to accept it. I had to accept the fact that Halsey was my father. I finally knew why I had a pair of twins. It turned out that there was a reason for this. I also had a twin brother, but he died early. "You can't take the kids." Blake finally raised his head and looked me in the eye. He said in a low voice. "What?" I crossed my arms in front of my ch
Third person's POV Catherine cried for more than half an hour and finally got tired. She had thought the matter over and still found it hard to accept. Could she not be with the man she loved, simply because she was Halsey's daughter? Catherine could not help but laugh at herself again. In fact, Blake chose a proper way to break up with her. At least, he did not treat her as an enemy, let alone retaliate against her. He simply told her the truth calmly. Catherine felt that at least Blake was a gentleman and kept up his decent manners. Catherine was not in the mood to drive now. She had to calm down first. She raised her kids alone before, and they turned out just fine. She cheered herself up, telling herself that she could handle the breakup easily. Catherine felt as if she was going crazy. She never knew that forgetting someone she loved could be so painful. She bit the back of her hand so hard that it left two bloody marks.
Third person's POV "Catherine is Blake's mate. Both you and I know the connection between mates. Do you think Blake can reject Catherine just like that?" asked Emerson suddenly. "He has to. He is the Lycan King, and I can't accept Catherine as the Lycan Luna. I think the Moon Goddess will guide him to a new mate. Even if he can't find a mate, there are plenty of suitable female werewolves in the royal pack who could take on Lycan Luna's responsibilities." Patricia said and then suddenly sighed. She continued, "What I am worried about is that Catherine will not accept Blake's refusal. You know the bond between mates. If Catherine is upset, I'm afraid Blake would find it hard to reject her." "If that's the case, you should talk to Catherine some other time and ask her to stop pestering Blake. This has to end once and for all." Thinking that Catherine might continue pestering Blake, Emerson had no choice but to be ruthless to her. Patricia no
Catherine's POV I woke up with a splitting headache, which was probably the result of being drunk. Although my wolf could help me with injuries, she couldn't do anything about my hangover. I got up and took out my phone to check the time. It was three o'clock in the morning. I didn't expect to sleep till this time. "Where am I?" I stumbled to find the switch. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the living room light was on. It was so bright that I covered my eyes with my hand. "Catherine, finally! You are awake!" I heard Melinda's concerned voice. Then I started remembering what happened. "Does your head hurt? Have some milk," Melinda said. I felt cold all over. I took the glass from Melinda. I was so touched that I almost cried. "Thank you, Melinda!" After having some milk, I felt a little better in my stomach, and my head stopped hurting so badly. It was only then that I realized what time it was. I
Catherine's POV Though I tried my best not to look at him, I could still sense the powerful aura coming from him, the Lycan King. "Daddy, do something. Talk to mommy. I don't want her to be with another man!" Hedwig was not as smart and mature as Noah. She was just a four-year-old girl. Blake still looked cold. He crouched in front of Hedwig and looked into her large, watery, and concerned eyes. "Daddy, what's wrong? Why don't you say something? Don't you want mommy anymore?" Hedwig was getting anxious. Noah walked over from the sofa as well. He didn't sound as panicked and helpless as Hedwig. Instead, he was calm. "Daddy, you and mommy are really breaking up this time, aren't you?" Facing his children, Blake had no choice but to nod. "Yes. We both made a choice!" "No!" Hedwig shouted. "I don't want you to break up. No! If you break up, I will... I will not eat anything. I will starve myself to death!" Though Hedwig wa
Third person's POV "All you have to do now is to accept mommy being with Harley. Let's go piss daddy off together!" Noah whispered into her ear. "But this is unfair to daddy. Daddy will be so sad!" Hedwig loved Blake very much. She did not want to hurt him. "Idiot! Daddy made a mistake first. You should trust me. I don't think they will truly break up!" Noah said confidently. "I don't want to believe you!" Hedwig curled her lips. "Who else can you believe? I'm telling you, if you want daddy to make up with mommy, you have to listen to me!" Noah still said confidently. Hedwig's head went blank. She couldn't think of any ideas. When she thought that her parents were going to separate, she became anxious. Noah seemed very confident, so she nodded. "Fine. I believe you. What do you think we should do next?" "Let's go downstairs now, and do as I say. Remember to say whatever I told you to, and everything is going to be alright!" Noah gra
Third Person's POV"What's going on here? I just heard him mention a breakup. He wouldn't be breaking up with Sunny, would he?" Patricia was so agitated because she had caught those words.Catherine, of course, also pondered over what Leo had said, and then replied, "Grandma, it seems he announced a breakup with Miss Garcia in front of the reporters.""What's this all about? They were getting along just fine, and now suddenly a breakup? Did he initiate it?"Patricia was truly a worrier at heart. She had finally seen her grandsons with girlfriends, on the verge of settling down, but now they were talking about breaking up."Grandma, don't get so worked up. Why don't you give him a call and find out what's really going on?" Catherine comforted Patricia.In reality, she too felt a growing unease.She sensed that this matter might be far more serious than she had imagined.Patricia picked up her phone and dialed Leo's number, inten
Third Person's POV"What on earth is going on? I was telling everyone that Leo was going to be my son-in-law, and now look, everyone's calling to mock me, to make a fool of me. You unambitious girl, you've disgraced me!"Moira clearly couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt her, venting all her resentment on Sunny.Sunny let Moira scold her without a word of retort.Only after Moira had finished did she say, "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to hang up now."After ending the call, Sunny closed her eyes, lay back on the bed, and felt utterly drained.She knew the days of being ridiculed were far from over, and she could only resign herself to accept it all.The news of Leo and Sunny's breakup indeed caused quite a stir. Some gloated, those who watched indifferently, and those who were secretly delighted and mocking.Among them, the most elated was undoubtedly Mirabel Field, who had always taken a dislike to Sunny.She
Third Person's POV"Fine, let's break up then." Leo snorted coldly, his tone devoid of any reluctance, "I'll have someone pack up your things and send them back to you.""Leo, I'm really sorry. Thank you for not despising me in the past...""Don't say such insincere words. If I liked you, I would naturally treat you with utmost kindness. But you didn't cherish it. You betrayed my trust, and this is all on you," Leo cut her off abruptly, then stormed out of the hospital room, slamming the door behind him.Sunny felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless for a long time, like a frozen statue.A gust of cold air came through the window, jolting her awake. It felt like she had been in a beautiful dream, but the man who had been good to her was now gone.In the world of werewolves, the departure of a mate is a tremendous blow to the other party.Sunny felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost the
Third Person's POVLeo sat on the sofa directly opposite the hospital bed, his hands constantly flipping a mobile phone.The thought of how tightly this woman had concealed things from him made his heart feel stifled.He began to doubt how genuine her feelings for him were.Perhaps her intentions for getting close to him were becoming increasingly clear—was she trying to atone for her despicable Olivia?On what grounds did she beg for his forgiveness? Shouldn't mistakes be punished?"Mmm..." Sunny, on the hospital bed, let out a faint moan, seemingly due to discomfort.Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the white ceiling and the IV drip hanging nearby.'Was this a hospital?'Sunny suddenly sat up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, their depths flickering with cold light as if carrying a Siberian chill, causing her to gasp in fright."Did you bring me to the hospital? Thanks." Sunny vaguel
Third Person's POVAt that moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from inside, her face turning pale with fright at the sight of a group of people intruding on her farm."Sir, why have you broken into my farm? Is there something you need?" This woman was Teresa, who feigned surprise as she stepped forward to inquire."Bring Olivia out!" Leo said with a stern expression."Olivia? She's not here!" Teresa immediately shook her head in response."Do you really think we'll believe that?" Leo suddenly turned around, grabbing Sunny who was walking last, and said with a gloomy face, "Didn't she come here looking for Olivia? Stop wasting time and bring her out."Sunny's face had already turned pale, devoid of any color, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.Teresa looked at Sunny, her face clearly showing a look of reproach, "Sunny, how could you do this? Do you have any idea...""Teresa, I..."Sunny tried to explain, but fou
Third Person's POV"Now?" Sunny's head buzzed, wishing she could just faint on the spot.She knew that once they went, the hidden secrets would likely be exposed. Faced with Leo's insistent attitude, she didn't know how to refuse, her heart filled with panic and helplessness.Sunny reached for her phone, but suddenly, a hand as strong as a vise clamped down on her slender wrist, gripping it tightly.Leo's voice was as cold as a winter wind, "That's right, now. You lead the way."Sunny considered pretending not to know anyone named Teresa, but her mother had already revealed everything.There was no room to feign ignorance.She forced a laugh, suppressing her inner turmoil, "I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, could we...?""No, Sunny. I want you to lead the way right now." Leo's voice grew even colder, the threat in his tone leaving no room for doubt."Alright," Sunny sighed, reluctantly agreeing.Her heart pounded, and
Third Person's POVSunny couldn't fathom his thoughts and let it go. They drove to the company.The employees at the company regarded Sunny as the future boss lady.Previously, they might have ignored her, but now, everyone was vying to get close to her and become familiar.Changes in status and identity often lead to starkly different attitudes from others. As an important person by Leo's side, Sunny naturally received special treatment and was treated differently by everyone. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with her in the future to gain some benefits or avoid unnecessary trouble.Sunny knew that all of this was the special treatment Leo had given her, so she didn't dare to be too complacent.In reality, Sunny had also made quite a few enemies at the company. Female artists who had admired Leo before were now cursing her behind her back.These women, driven by unrequited love, resorted to various underhanded tactics
Third Person's POV"Pregnant?" Sunny's mind buzzed, going blank for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "That should be quite unlikely. We always took precautions.""I know, but precautions aren't one hundred percent effective. I'm just looking out for you because there are many medications that pregnant women shouldn't take." The doctor patiently explained to her."Oh! Alright then." Sunny's expression stiffened slightly, and then she was forced to recall every moment she was with Leo, thinking of those blush-inducing and heart-racing scenes, her pale cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.Leo sat on the sofa outside the door, and as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "Did you get the medicine?""The doctor wants me to get a blood test. She's worried I might be pregnant." Sunny let out a bitter smile."What?" Leo's eyes lit up instantly.For werewolves, the conception of new life is a joyous event for the family, and having a
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo's heart lurched at the high-temperature reading, and he cursed under his breath.He rummaged through the first-aid kit but found no spare fever-reducing medicine.With Sunny in her current state, if her fever didn't subside quickly, she could end up delirious.Leo glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the morning. Where could he find an open pharmacy at this hour?Should he take her to the hospital? After a moment's thought, he decided to call his assistant instead.The assistant, groggy from sleep, was jolted awake by the urgent call. He quickly dressed and rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine.Leo made a silent vow to reward his assistant handsomely for this.At five in the morning, the assistant arrived with the fever-reducing medicine.Leo expressed his gratitude, and the assistant was touched. He hadn't expected his usually aloof boss to become so considerate.With the medicine in hand, Leo brought a glass of warm water and
