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 noCatherine'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
Blake's POV I was a little stunned watching Hedwig leave without looking back. It seemed that Hedwig blamed me for everything. It was my big mistake not to ask Catherine to stay and Hedwig had every reason to be mad at me. "Is Hedwig never going to talk to me again?" I turned around and asked Noah as I assumed that kids always understood each other better. Noah shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't know. When stupid Hedwig is sulking, it usually takes a week for her to get over it. So, just give her some time." "A week?" I was dumbfounded. "Alright, forget about stupid Hedwig now. Daddy, what happened to you and mommy? Why did you suddenly become like enemies?" Noah began to question me. I knew Noah was going to ask, but I didn't want to tell him. "Noah, just remember that I didn't have a better choice. My hands are tied!" I couldn't hide the sadness in my tone. "Why? What's troubling you? Tell me. I can change mom
Catherine's POV The parlor of the lakeside villa was brightly lit. As I entered the door, I saw Patricia sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. It was late, the kids must be asleep. I had mixed feelings when facing Patricia. We had been getting along very well. Patricia was a nice person who cared for her family. It was a pity that we couldn't become a family. "Ms. Wyatt, have a seat. We need to talk," Patricia put down the cup and said to me. I nodded, and then I sat on the sofa next to me. Dowen asked a servant to bring me a cup of coffee. "Blake has told you everything, right? I can only say sorry about this. You are not wrong, but we are not wrong either. Blake's mother left her two children and married your father. In any case, I hate your father and Blake's mother. They are selfish," Patricia said calmly. I nodded. "I know. This is more than right or wrong. I understand." "So, I didn't mean to ask you
Catherine's POV It was early the next morning. When I woke up, I saw Noah and Hedwig on my bed. They lay on the bed, blinking and watching me sleep. "Mommy, did we wake you up?" Hedwig asked. I sat up from the bed. "Why are you two up so early?" "Mommy, have you and daddy made up?" Hedwig asked without answering my question. Noah, who was lying beside her, sighed like an adult, " Looks like they haven't. Didn't my plan work yesterday? No way! Daddy should have been jealous by now." Noah's words left me a little speechless. I knew it. Of course, Noah didn't want me to be with Harley. What Noah said yesterday was just to piss Blake off. "Noah, Hedwig, drop this, OK? Don't make your daddy mad." Blake looked so tired and painful last night. How could I go on to hurt him? Hedwig's eyes widened. "Really? Will daddy leave us?" Noah patted Hedwig on the head. "You are so stupid! Daddy is so much better than that! He will be
Catherine's POV I followed Leo to a separate room. Leo suddenly turned and stared at me fiercely. "Are you really Halsey's daughter?" I nodded. "Yes. I am Halsey's daughter. Do you hate me?" Leo walked to the sofa and sat down. He said, "Are you sad that your wedding is off?" "Yes, I am!" I did not attempt to conceal my emotions. "But there's nothing we can do. There's no way we're getting married..." I was in so much pain that I could not speak. Leo looked away and said sarcastically, "How was this possible? You are his mate!" "But my father hurt you and Blake. I'm sorry," I apologized. "Why should you be apologizing to me? It's not your fault. Halsey should make up for the mistake he made," Leo snarled. "I know. But I'm still his daughter!" I was so sad. "What does Blake think? Does he hate you?" Leo asked as he looked at me. I shook my head. "No. He's in pain, too. He's sick now. Maybe you should go check on him." "Loo
Third person's POV Soon, Catherine returned to the lakeside villa. She knew Blake was in the study, yet she did not go over to see him. Catherine walked into the bedroom and began to sort her things out. The pain in her heart was killing her as she packed her suitcases. She wanted to see Blake. Catherine suddenly did not want to pack up. She did not want to leave... The bedroom door was pushed open, and Noah and Hedwig stood at the door. "Mommy, are you really moving out?" Hedwig cried. She ran over and snatched the clothes in Catherine's hands. "Don't go. Stay here. Daddy won't let you go." Noah turned and ran out. He could not bear to separate from his mother. Catherine crouched and hugged Hedwig. She said gently, "Hedwig, I'm not going far away. I'll still live in this city. If you miss me, you can ask Dowen to take you to see me." "No! I want mommy and daddy to be together. I don't want you to be separated!" Hedwig sobbed.
