Catherine's POV
"I'm in the building across from you. You can't see me, but I can see you!" Blake smirked. I said angrily, "Blake, don't you have better things to do than spying on me?" "Are you angry?" Blake asked nervously. "Yes, of course, I am angry. I have already told you that I am here to see a client, but you still don't believe me," I said madly. I was happy that Blake cared about me, but he shouldn't have watched me when I was having dinner with my client. "I'll get out of your hair after you tell me whether your client is a man or a woman," Blake asked in concern. I was amused by his words. "You have excellent eyesight, right? See for yourself." "Shall I come over and ask your client in person?" Blake said anxiously. I was startled. Blake couldn't be here, and on no ground should he show up to see me. If he was seen by others, our relationship would be exposed. "She is a woman. All my clients are womenCatherine's POV I couldn't breathe. I felt that my eyelids were so heavy that I simply couldn't lift them. Was I dead? The whirling, quivering sensation seemed to break my bones and plunge me into darkness. No! I didn't want to die; it was not the time yet. I needed to watch Noah and Hedwig grow up and be there for them, and I wanted to marry Blake. Everything around me was slowing down. I tried hard to breathe and fought to open my eyes. But I couldn't. I felt trapped in a terrifying black hole, where there was nothing but silence. I could only hear the faint beating of my heart, which grew fainter and fainter. No... Was there anyone to help me? I didn't want to die yet. I had undone business and things to tell my loved ones. The gentle moonlight cast over me. It was the Moon Goddess. She pointed in the direction behind me. I turned around and walked back. "Cathy..." Suddenly, I heard a low
Catherine's POV "I'll call Patricia now to check on Noah and Hedwig." Blake was in a pickle, too. "Maybe you can tell them I'm on an urgent business trip. I'll go back and see them when I'm better," I put forward an idea. "Are we really going to lie to them?" Blake frowned. He seemed reluctant. "We keep telling them not to lie, but we can't set a good example." He looked serious. I couldn't help but laugh. My wound was torn by my sudden move, and I groaned with pain. Blake quickly came over and blamed, "You know you are injured, right? Why can't you learn to take care of yourself?" I looked up at his worried look, and I gently said, "I'm fine. Don't worry." "How can I not be worried? Do you know how much it hurts to see you like this? I'd rather it was me lying there." Blake would rather be injured than watch me like this. "Don't say that," I said angrily. "I don't want you to get hurt." Blake leaned over and kissed me
Blake's POV "Gina came to the police because she didn't want to face the music. She is so cunning. Does she really think she's innocent?" I was furious. Gina dared to hurt Catherine! Gina was doomed. She needed to bear my wrath. "Blake, I'm sure there's more to it than that. Maybe it's just Gina's scheme." Catherine knew Gina the best. I knew Catherine was right. Perhaps, as Gina said in her confession, she was only complaining in front of Jack, and she didn't tell Jack to make a move on Catherine. Gina had made a smart move. I reached out and held Catherine's hand tightly. She had lost too much blood, and her hand was still very cold. I said firmly, "Don't worry. She put you through this. She might be able to escape from the punishment of the law, but she enraged the royal pack and she will suffer." "She is cunning. No matter what she says, don't buy it. Don't let her slide," Catherine said angrily. I was well aware that the car ac
Blake's POV I looked down at her and felt no pity for her. I knew Gina would stay true to her evil nature no matter what. "You have no idea how much I want to kill you since you made her suffer so much. But I won't let you die so easily." My voice echoed in the empty factory. "You'd better kill me. I don't want to live like this anymore. I hate to see you love her so much. It's driving me crazy." Gina swooped forward. I took a few steps back, not wanting her to touch me. It would make me sick. "You shouldn't have lied to me in the first place. You deserved it!" I was furious. Gina couldn't let go of being Lycan Luna. She thought she loved me a lot, but she didn't. "I know that I am greedy. But I do love you. King Blake, you are unreachable. Surely you don't know what it's like to be humble. Am I that despicable and cheap in your eyes? Catherine can give you babies, and I can do it too. Why is she the one you love? This is unfair. She gets everyth
Blake's POV "I wish I could grow up in the blink of an eye. So I could protect Mommy and stupid Hedwig," Noah said. I patted Noah on the shoulder with relief. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be a tough man in the future. We will protect them together!" "No! Daddy, you failed to protect Mommy. I don't trust you anymore!" Noah said. I didn't know what to say. Fortunately, we arrived at the hospital soon after. I took them out of the car and came to Catherine's ward. Catherine heard Noah and Hedwig's voices. She was excited to see them and hugged them. "Mommy, are you getting better? Stay away from those bad guys from now on. Don't let them hurt you again!" "Mommy, I am so scared. I miss you so much!" When Noah and Hedwig saw Catherine, they quickly told her about their concerns. Catherine crouched and held them tightly. "Noah, Hedwig, I miss you too!" Catherine choked. I was filled with joy, watching t
Catherine's POV I was very happy that Blake's good friends, Benjamin and Howard, visited me. After we chatted for a while, I felt a little tired, so they went to the corridor for small talk. Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the door, but I was not worried. Blake had six wolf guards stationed at the door of my ward. He wouldn't allow danger to come near me. I suddenly realized that the person speaking outside the door was Troy. He had a loud voice, and I could hear him in the ward. "Catherine is my adopted daughter. Why aren't we allowed to see her? I have something to ask her. Get out of our way!" Troy shouted. I thought for a few seconds and then went to open the door. "Catherine, finally! You wicked woman! Give us Gina back!" As soon as Elena saw me, she pounced at me. However, she was blocked by a guard. The guard turned to me and said, "I'm sorry, Lycan Luna. Did they wake you up? We will drag them down right away." Looking at
Catherine's POV "Melinda, stop making fun of me. Look at me. I'm started to worry about my face," I said, picking up a mirror next to me. I checked on the bruises on my face. They were almost healed and didn't leave scars. However, I could still see some marks if I looked closer. I touched my head, which was still wrapped in gauze. I sighed, "Though my injuries have recovered, I feel less confident. I don't know if I'm good enough for him now." Melinda comforted me gently, "Cathy, you worry too much. You're King Blake's mate. You are perfect in his eyes." "I don't think so." I covered my face with my hands. I said with frustration, "He has been taking care of me these days. I feel guilty. He has so much work to do, but he puts it aside just to look after me. That's why I am in such a hurry to leave the hospital." Melinda smiled, "Cathy, it proves that King Blake loves you. Why would he choose to stay with you every day if he didn't love yo
Catherine's POV Blake was stunned at Hedwig's words. He probably didn't expect Hedwig to pay so much attention to his emotions. When I looked at him, he avoided my eyes. "Who was it? Did something happen in the pack? Is the pack in trouble?" I thought his bad mood had something to do with that phone call. Blake shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No. Nothing happened. Don't listen to Hedwig. I'm fine." "Alright then. I guess Hedwig is making a big deal out of it." I chuckled. Blake looked up at me. I knew that I wasn't pretty since my head was still wrapped in gauze. Yet his look was filled with questions, as if he wanted answers from me. It made me worried. "There's something urgent in the pack. Get some rest at home." Blake walked in front of me. He tucked my hair behind my ear with his slender fingers. His voice was very gentle. "Just go ahead. I'll be fine." I knew that he had spent too much time taking car
Third Person's POVSunny then took a good look at herself from head to toe. 'Oh no, how had me let myself look like a ghost?'"Wait a moment, I'll tidy up!" Sunny said, then ran into her bedroom and shut the door behind her.Leo frowned. Was this woman really planning to give up on herself entirely?Sunny picked out a decent-looking outfit from her wardrobe, washed her face, combed her long hair, and came out again. To her embarrassment, she saw Leo bending down to clean up the snacks on her desk. His noble figure, squatting on the ground with his fingers meticulously picking up the mess, made Sunny feel utterly mortified."Did you live this poorly when you were alone?" Leo asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he continued to clean.Sunny quickly rushed over to help, replying in a low voice, "Of course not. I was doing fine before. It's just that I've been in a bad mood these past few days and haven't been tidying up.""Breaking
Third Person's POVSunny had been hiding at home, avoiding the light like a mouse. She felt like she had ruined her life. Everything was a mess. Her dreams, her future—all of it seemed bleak. Maybe Moira and Melissa were right. She wasn't the same person she used to be.The failure of a relationship could truly change someone.Every time Sunny thought about the things Leo had said in the hospital, her head ached, and her heart hurt. The higher she had been lifted, the harder she had fallen. She had learned that lesson the hard way.The sky outside darkened again. Sunny opened a small corner of the curtain and stared blankly at the lights outside.She wondered if she should take advantage of the darkness to go out for a walk.'At this time, no one would recognize me, right?' she thought.Sunny checked her bank account balance and realized it wasn't much. When she was with Leo, she had relied on him for food, clothing, and other e
Third Person's POVWhen Richard saw that Blake didn't want to bring up the past, he was slightly surprised. He had expected Blake to revisit old grievances and hold him accountable.Emerson, with a look of relief, praised Blake. "Blake, you have a generous heart. Let's not dwell on the past anymore. You are uncle and nephew, and you should support each other, not harbor resentment."Blake, mindful of Emerson's feelings, nodded. "We are family, and we shouldn't treat each other like enemies."Richard, however, felt uneasy. He realized that he was increasingly becoming an outsider in the Royal Pack. The affection and importance that Emerson and Patricia placed on Blake far surpassed what they had for him, their own son.He suspected that even his own son, Nick, might feel that he had lost his place in his grandparents' hearts."Richard, you and Emerson haven't seen each other in so long. You must have a lot to talk about. I'll leave you to it,
Third Person's POVCatherine thought for a moment and replied, "It's like the handsome guys you see in cartoons.""Okay! Can you draw it for me now, Mommy?" Hedwig was a girl of action. Once she got an idea, she had to see it through. It was unclear who she had inherited this trait from.Catherine picked up a blank sheet of paper and a pencil, glancing helplessly at the man beside her, who was smirking. He really knew how to give her extra work.Blake leaned down, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, "Are you really going to draw me?""Mm-hmm, I'll draw a picture of you taking a shower," Catherine said, her smile tinged with mischief.Blake knew she was teasing him. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Sure, but if you forget how I look, I can give you a live demonstration tonight."Catherine's face flushed instantly. She glared at him, her eyes narrowing.Meanwhile, Noah, who was practicing his writing nearby, overheard their
Third Person's POV"You and Noah came from my belly, not from a box.""Oh, then who put us in your belly? Was it the 'heaven' you mentioned earlier?" Hedwig asked, her big eyes wide with curiosity.Catherine was genuinely stumped this time. She touched her chin, pretending to think deeply. "Uh, well... you'll understand when you grow up. It's not something we can talk about now."She couldn't possibly say that Blake had "put them there." If she did, Hedwig's next question would undoubtedly be, "How did Daddy put us in your belly?" Catherine's head was already spinning at the thought.Patricia walked in carrying a plate of fruit. When she saw Hedwig's paint-smeared face, she burst out laughing. "Oh my, when did we get a little calico cat in the house?""Great-grandma, where's the cat? Can I see it?" Hedwig asked, her face lighting up at the mention of a cat."The little calico cat is you! Look at your face—it's covered in paint!"
Third Person's POVBlake sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Do you really think someone who could kill his own brother has any conscience left? He's always resented Grandpa for favoring Dad. If he finds out about Grandpa's condition, the first thing he'll do is fight for Grandpa's shares."Leo's expression darkened. He realized he had been naive to think Richard might have a change of heart."Blake, then we absolutely can't let him know about Grandpa's condition. If he finds out, he won't care about Grandpa's life at all!" Leo said, his voice filled with anger."He's arriving tonight. Do you want to come and see him?" Blake asked coldly.Leo shook his head. "I don't want to see him. I'm afraid I might lose control and kill him.""You need to stay calm. He's a dog, but you're not. You don't bite randomly," Blake said, lecturing Leo.Leo knew he wouldn't actually kill anyone, but his temper was fiery. If he saw Richard, he might no
Third Person's POV"I found out not long ago. Before that, I also asked the doctor about Grandpa's condition every day, and he always told me Grandpa was doing well," Blake explained, his voice strained with grief."That quack! How dare he lie to us? Does he think we're fools? He should be ashamed of himself!" Leo shouted, his anger boiling over."Yelling at him won't help. Grandpa and Grandma made this decision together," Blake said calmly."Grandpa is so stubborn. How could he keep something like this from us? Does he want us to feel guilty for the rest of our lives?" Leo's anger shifted to his grandfather."Grandpa just doesn't want us to grieve for him. I think any parent would want to spare their children that pain," Blake said.Leo realized there was no one left to blame. He sighed, his eyes filled with despair. "Then what can we do now? Blake, tell me."Blake looked at him steadily, then sighed. "At least, while Grandpa is stil
Third Person's POVSunny had obtained Olivia's recording, yet she hadn't handed it over to him immediately. She was still protecting Olivia. It seemed that in the face of love and family bonds, there was still a distinction in importance.Clearly, her feelings for him were far less significant than the familial ties she had with Olivia.Or perhaps, there was no comparison to be made at all.Leo's heart was like a chaotic storm, agitated and bewildered, searching for a reason to calm down.Upon reaching the base of the Imperial Building, Leo strode straight in and marched towards Blake's private elevator.As the second son of the Royal Pack, Leo had never concealed his identity. Thus, as he strode through the lobby, he attracted only envious glances from women.Even though Leo's expression was cold, his fervent female fans still pursued him relentlessly.Perhaps it was Leo's taut expression, coupled with the band-aids on his fac
Third Person's POVSunny let out a bitter laugh. "You really think too highly of me. Actually, I've already broken up with him, and I don't plan to be a star anymore. You can go back now.""Sunny, aren't you really considering your future? You're already famous now. Once you become well-known, it's hard to go back to your simple life. No matter where you go, people will pay attention to you. Instead of being ridiculed, why not hold your head high and be your own queen? You have the potential. You're very beautiful!" Melissa kept persuading her.Sunny's mind went blank. Where was her future? She really hadn't thought about it at all.She used to simply want to earn more money to improve her quality of life, travel when she had time, and treat herself to delicious food for her hard work. But now? She didn't dare to think about anything."A single romance has beaten you down like this. You don't seem like the Sunny I know. You used to be so brave and
