Catherine's POV I looked away. I felt happy to be with the children, not to see him. The enthusiasm in the bottom of Blake's eyes was gone after I gave him a cold shoulder. He frowned in displeasure, but I didn't care. It was a harmonious dinner. It was the first time for the two little fellas to eat at the same table with their parents, so they smiled all the time. The royal chef seemed know the kids' tastes well, and Noah and Hedwig liked the steak very much. "Daddy, Mommy likes to eat fish. Can you ask the chef to cook fish for her?" Noah suddenly looked up with cunning in his big eyes. Blake frowned slightly. I was stunned when I heard Noah's idea. "Focus on your meal and shut up!" I shot Noah a stern glance. I grew up in the Black Moon Pack where my father came from and had never heard of an Alpha racking his brain to think about his members' tastes. Blake was the mighty Lycan King, so it was less likely for him to do that. I was sure that Blake wouldn't do su
Blake's POV Hedwig listened to what Catherine said and handed the paper plane I folded to Noah happily. "Yeah, Noah. You have to take care of it!" Hedwig reluctantly followed Catherine to the bathroom. When Hedwig and Catherine entered the bathroom, I shifted my gaze to Noah. His face was similar to mine. Although he was young, he already had a strong aura. I crossed my legs and arms and leaned against the sofa, staring at Noah. Noah seemed to feel that my sitting manner was imposing, so he imitated. "Noah, what do you think of daddy? Just say it. I promise you that I will change as much as possible if I've made you unhappy," I asked for his opinion. Noah snorted. "Why did you abandon us for so long? Mommy has suffered so much." I was at a loss for words. My might was gone by a little. I touched my forehead resignedly and said, "It's not that I didn't want you but that I didn't know about your birth, Noah. Your mommy is to blame because she didn't tell me about you t
Blake's POV Such a realization annoyed me. Since when did I let my emotion be at her mercy? "Daddy, hug me..." Hedwig's voice disrupted my thoughts. I picked up Hedwig and kissed her face again and again. Then, I carried her upstairs. When we reached the second floor, I placed Hedwig on the bed, got the history book about werewolves prepared by Dowen, and told her the history of the Royal. The history was dull. Hedwig listened seriously, but she gradually closed her eyes, and she looked sleepy. Catherine pushed the door open and entered. Hedwig saw her in and became excited. "Daddy, I don't want to listen to the history anymore. I want to play." Hedwig protested with a flat mouth. I comforted her at once, "Sure, my baby girl. How about riding a horse tomorrow? I have several horses in the backyard." "Is there a white one? I like white horses!" As soon as Hedwig heard me say that she could ride a horse, she became interested. I was stunned. "Okay, I will buy you a
Catherine's POV I woke up early in the morning. I opened my eyes and saw that Hedwig was no longer around. When did she wake up? I went into the bathroom to wash up, changed my clothes, and went downstairs. I heard the laughter of my kids coming from the lawn. I frowned and walked out. Blake, who had shifted into a black wolf, running after Noah and Hedwig on the lawn. Noah and Hedwig had seen my wolf before, so they were not afraid of Blake's wolf, who was much stronger than mine. Noah and Blake were chasing a football, and Hedwig was running around them, laughing happily. I sighed as I leaned against the door frame. Somehow, I was infatuated. All I paid attention to was Noah and Hedwig's happy smiles, and I totally ignored the tall guy next to them. Dowen had ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous breakfast. When he saw me standing at the door, he said with a smile, "Catherine, His Majesty may play with the prince and princess for a long time. If you are hungr
Catherine's POV "Mommy, what are the rules? Go ahead. I'm sure daddy will agree with all of them." Noah smiled at me and encouraged me. Noah reminded me of it. So, I seriously looked at Blake. "The first one is that I don't want outsiders to know that you are the father of Noah and Hedwig." "What?" Blake seemed to be annoyed with this. "Don't be surprised. I don't want to cause trouble. You are not an ordinary guy. I believe that any woman who is related to you will be paid special attention. I just want to live a peaceful life, so I don't want to get related to you. The children have moved in. I don't object to you playing with them, but you must promise me this." I had been thinking for a long time before coming up with it. Blake was shocked by my words. I knew that almost all the female werewolves wanted to have a relationship with him. After all, he was the Lycan King. "Daddy, my mommy hates trouble the most. Just promise her." Noah looked straight at Blake with
Catherine's POV I also felt that Noah and Hedwig were making a fuss over nothing. I reached out and touched their little heads. "Do not interrupt when others are talking. Also... Your daddy will choose another woman to be his Lycan Luna. I'm not joking, and you have to accept this, okay?" Hedwig was stunned and not in the mood to eat bread anymore. Her big, watery eyes were filled with sorrow as she looked at Blake. She pouted as if she was about to cry at any moment. She cried out, "Daddy, you said you wouldn't let other women be your Lycan Luna. You didn't keep your word. I won't believe in you anymore!" Blake looked at Hedwig who had turned her head away, confused. I was shocked by Hedwig's behavior as well. I glanced at Blake guiltily and then lowered my head, pretending that I was not the one who told Hedwig about those words. I began to eat breakfast. Noah looked innocent. "Daddy, when did you promise Hedwig? Why don't I know?" Blake shrugged. "I don't remember eit
Catherine's POV Blake gave me two minutes, but I deliberately opened the door ten minutes later. "What else do you want to say? Whatever you say, I won't go to school with you today. Noah and Hedwig will get used to it." I stood in front of Blake, holding my handbag. I looked away, not wanting to look at him. "Are you going to skip all their activities with me in the future?" asked Blake. I turned to look at his gloomy face and smiled. "You're right. That's what I decided. Anyway, I won't let anyone know about my relationship with you in the future." "Don't you think that you will become an unqualified mother by doing this? Although Noah and Hedwig have been strong enough because of you, they must be hoping that you can participate in their family activities even if they don't ask you to," Blake said righteously and wanted to give me a lesson. I frowned. And I had to admit that what he said was quite reasonable. But... "Well, we can take turns accompanying them to at
Catherine's POV When I was a child, I learned in the werewolf school that the attitude toward mating gradually became different with the development of human society. More and more werewolves no longer thought highly of their mates. Some werewolves would even mark other werewolves before they met their mates. I heard from my father that this would lead to the decline of the werewolves. I didn't answer Piers' question. Instead, I turned my head and began my work. Seeing that I ignored him, Piers felt bored and returned to his seat. I began my career with the help of Vanessa. "You're Catherine, right? I'm Vanessa." Vanessa put on a polite smile. "Hi, Vanessa!" I called out with a smile. "Well, take a look at these contracts. There is information on this project. Can you hand over a few pieces of work first?" Although Vanessa was smiling, there was a trace of scrutiny in her eyes. I could sense that Vanessa's attitude toward me was slightly strange, but I didn't know
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
