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
Blake's POV I didn't know what was wrong with me today. When my car passed by this building, I suddenly wanted to come up and see Catherine's office. She wasn't happy about my appearance at all. When I returned to my office, Catherine called me. "What's the matter?" "Tell the kids that I won't go home for dinner tonight," Catherine said directly. "You're not coming back? Are you going to spend the night with some guy?" I couldn't help but be angry when I heard her words, so I said in a mocking tone. "I'm just informing you of that. I won't go home for dinner tonight. If the kids ask, just tell them I have something to do." Catherine answered me in the same tone as I did. "Catherine, are you going to abandon your kids? Why are you such an irresponsible mother?" Hearing that she copied my tone to mock me, I was even angrier and I said in a colder voice. Catherine snorted, "The children didn't say anything. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm just having a meal
Blake's POV How could I call Catherine at this time? What if Catherine thought that I was concerned about her? Wouldn't it make her extremely proud? "Hedwig, your mommy might be back soon. Don't worry." I immediately reached out and touched my daughter's little head to comfort her. Hedwig lowered her head and ate a few more. She raised her little head again and stared at me intently. "Daddy, just make a call. Let me talk to mommy for a while. I really miss her." Facing my daughter's pair of clear and innocent eyes, I couldn't find a reason to refuse her. "Okay, daddy will call your mommy now." I had to take out my phone. I really hoped that Catherine wouldn't hear the phone ringing. "Daddy, put it on speaker, so we can all talk to mommy," Noah suddenly suggested. I looked at my son's big bright eyes and suddenly felt powerless. I had no choice but to turn on the speaker and put my phone on the table. My phone kept ringing for seconds. I thought proudly in my heart.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
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
