Time flies, and several days passed.
One day, Sunny and Leo received a police call informing them that the two criminals who had fled abroad had been apprehended.
The indignation that had been weighing on Leo's mind was finally lifted.
If not for respecting the legal boundaries, he would have sought them out for investigation and given those bastards a taste of their own medicine, making them feel the sting of a knife.
But to ensure the longevity of the business, one must operate within the law, a principle Blake knew well and that Leo also kept in mind.
Richard could have received a lighter sentence years ago, but Emerson, considering his status as the heir to the Royal Pack and his youth, let him serve a five-year term.
This was the root of Richard's resentment. He knew that with Emerson's influence, he could have avoided prison.
But Emerson upheld justice and dealt with him strictly, which fueled Richard's discontent.

Catherine's POV The sun stung my eyes, and I slowly sat up from bed and found myself in an unfamiliar room. The clothes scattered on the ground were the ones I wore at the mating ritual last night. Yesterday was a mating ritual in Shadow Forest. It was a tradition that werewolves living in New Jersey held a mating ritual in Shadow Forest every year. Alpha and Luna of every pack would bring their unmated werewolves here, looking for their mates at the ritual. Of course, if one didn't find one, the ritual next year was waiting for him. Once the ritual started, I strolled around with a drink, with no desire to find my mate. Well, you must wanna know why, because I was wolfless. As I was strolling around with a glass of raspberry juice in my hand, I saw my stepmother Elena Anderson talking to my stepsister Gina Wyatt under a tree in the corner of the square. Although I didn't have a wolf, my hearing was particularly excellent. Thus, I could still hear what they wer
Catherine's POV "Father... Alpha Wyatt..." I looked at his strange expression and suddenly had a bad feeling. "Catherine, you're banished now." Troy said seriously, "You no longer belong to the Black Moon Pack." "I am banished?" For a moment, I was lost for words. After learning that I would never have a mate in my life, I received another piece of bad news. I was banished by my father, by the Alpha of my pack. This meant that I couldn't live in the Black Moon Pack anymore. Without the protection of the werewolves, I would become a rogue. My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at my father pleadingly. Elena standing beside my father with a smirk on her face. "Alright, get out of here now. Don't present a pathetic sight. It's not us who asked you to fool around with others here," Elena spoke without scruple after getting the answer she wanted. That was who Elena truly was. She had been trying to drive me away for so many years. I was filled with sadness as tears w
******Five years later****** Catherine's POV "Miss, stop peeking at us, or I'll get angry." A cute boy said as he looked at the female werewolf who was leaning against a tree nearby to have a rest. The boy was my son, Noah Wyatt. His serious look amused those rogues around us who were resting. "Noah, relax." I gently stroked my son's hair and held my daughter closer to me. Five years ago, I became an rogue after being kicked out of my pack by my father, the Alpha. Later, I found myself pregnant. Fortunately, a friend of my mother, Mabel Erich, lent me a hand. However, I couldn't join her pack because of my father. With Mabel's care, I gave birth to my twins, Noah and Hedwig. "Mommy, are you tired? You can take a nap, and I will watch you with Noah." Hedwig looked at me with her big eyes. Noah and Hedwig were very cute. Noah was older than Hedwig. Young as he was, he was more mature than those of his age. He had a clever face with wise bright eyes. As for Hedwig
Catherine's POV In the evening, I planned to leave Noah and Hedwig in the care of Mabel. I wasn't worried at all because Mabel had helped me take care of them when they were just born. A mating gathering would be held in Shadow Forest today, and my father's Black Moon Pack would go there, too. Thus, this was the best time for me to take back my mother's necklace. I squatted to touch Noah's head and whispered, "Noah, take good care of Hedwig and stay at home with Mabel, okay? Mommy has to go out to do something." Then I kissed Noah and Hedwig on the cheek. Mabel looked at me worriedly and said, "Come back soon after getting your thing." "OK." I saw Mabel's concerned look and nodded. "Mommy, be careful," Noah spoke to me in a soft voice after he ran toward me and tugged my sleeve. I squatted again and stroked his head. Then I smiled at him with a nod of my head before I got up and pushed the door open to go outside. I gathered my coat around me. I knew Mabel was wo
Catherine's POV "I don't care who you are. I just want to take my thing back." I looked at Gina resolutely. The necklace belonged to my mother and was the only thing she had left me. To me, it was priceless. Abruptly, I noticed that Gina's eyes wandered from me to the place behind me. I turned around in confusion and saw some guys standing not far away, but I didn't know them. As I turned to look at Gina, she suddenly leaned closer to me and sneered, "I know where your necklace is, but I just don't want to give it back to you. Nothing will happen if you don't come here. But now you reminded me of those stupid things you've done. Do you want to take the necklace back? No way. Tomorrow I'll cut it up and throw it into the furnace to melt it!" "How dare you!" I felt a chill all over my body and clenched my fists in anger. "Why wouldn't I dare? Humph, let me tell you. Daddy told me a secret last time he got drunk. He said that you aren't his child, but just a bastard. You
Blake's POV This morning, I was working in the Sayreville branch of the Chavez Group. After I officially succeeded my father as the new Lycan King, I changed the name of the company to the Chavez Group. I didn't care about the opinions of those old fogies of the Council. Just as I was looking at the report my Beta submitted to me about the company, my office door was opened. I couldn't help but frown. As the door was opened, a woman in a strapless dress came in. She had long wavy blonde hair. The moment she saw me, she put on a smile that she thought was charming. She held her long hair and deliberately put them to one side, revealing her fair neck. The woman was Gina, whose father was the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack. I slept with her five years ago, but I didn't like her at all. However, in order to be the Lycan King, I promised to make her my future Lycan Luna. I looked at her in annoyance and asked, "What are you doing here?" "King Blake, there will be

Both lost in thought, Catherine and Halsey sat in silence for a while.After a period of silence, Catherine managed to suppress her distress, glanced at the second-floor guest room, and whispered, "Dad, were you and Blake's dad really good friends back then?""Yes, we got along pretty well," Halsey nodded, lowering his voice as well.Although they were in the yard, some distance away from the guest room, they still worried Blake might overhear.Catherine asked again in a hushed tone, "Then, how well do you know his dad's story?"Catherine was curious. She knew Blake's father had been betrayed in his marriage by Olivia, but she wasn't clear on the specifics. Maybe her dad knew something.Halsey's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected his daughter to ask this."I know a little," Halsey replied. Although he didn't want to revisit the past, he couldn't hide it from his daughter."Then, do you think his dad was a good person?" Ca
Catherine was content with Blake's indifferent expression."I'll take a photo and send it to the kids," Catherine said, snapping several shots of Blake without his consent.Blake's deep gaze shifted to her, his indifference softening."Come here!"Catherine's eyes widened in surprise, but she obediently sat beside him."Let's take one together." Blake grabbed her phone, lifted it, and pulled her into his arms before she could pose.Before Catherine could react, Blake took several photos."Hey..." Catherine was confused about his intentions.Blake swiftly sent the photos to Abigail.Catherine's eyes widened in anger. She immediately asked, "Did you make me look ugly in those photos?"Blake shrugged and said, "You're always beautiful in my eyes.""Let me check the photos!" Catherine lunged for the phone. Upon seeing the photos, she was nearly incensed.Blake looked good from every angle, smirking hands
"Yep! When a person can face what they dread most, it shows their growing tolerance," Blake said with a smile.Catherine sighed softly and grasped his fingers. "Blake, thank you for changing for me. I hope I can do the same for you someday."Blake nodded. "Sure, I'm looking forward to it as well."Catherine smiled. "Hopefully, it won't be too hard.""Nothing tough, just fulfilling Hedwig's wish for a younger brother or sister," Blake teased.Sure enough, Catherine's face flushed with fear. She was scared."Are you serious?" Currently, Catherine dreaded having more children. With Noah and Hedwig still young and demanding care, the thought of another baby sent her into anxiety.Blake, seeing her fear, chuckled. "Just joking, don't take it seriously!"Catherine exhaled. "No more joke like that again!""Alright, I won't!" Blake gently squeezed her hand and then asked earnestly, "Truly, no more kids?""One boy and one
Catherine said emotionally, "Blake, meeting you is my greatest fortune."Blake, hearing her rare emotional words, smiled and said, "Is this a confession?""Yeah, thousands of words can't express how much I like you. I feel my soul is engraved with your name." Catherine said seriously, but it sounded like a romantic story, making Blake want to laugh." Oh? Is that so?" The man was delighted, with a smile on his face. "Alright, I'll find you again and marry you in the next life.""Really?" Catherine, relieved that he agreed as if it were a major decision, felt at ease. Blake promised, "Yes, I believe our bond isn't over yet."Catherine giggled, feeling she'd shifted the mood, and quickly speared a piece of delicious fish onto his plate. "Let's eat."Blake looked at the fish, a gentle expression flashing across his face. He picked up his cutlery, ate the fish, and found it tasty.After dinner, they strolled in the hotel's garden before h
"Then once a week," Catherine replied, feigning seriousness."I waited twenty-seven years just for you, Catherine!" the man said with mock solemnity.Catherine burst into laughter, breaking the intense atmosphere. "Alright, let's change the subject. This topic isn't worth discussing."Blake took advantage of her laughter, stepped around her, and in one swift motion, pinned her down.Catherine was startled into lying down and realized escape was impossible."Wh-what are you doing?" Catherine's eyes widened, already knowing the answer.Indeed, careless words come with a price.Catherine, exhausted and weak, pointed at Blake's retreating figure toward the bathroom and gritted her teeth. "So unfair, making me move on top for half an hour!"Blake's sturdy figure froze in the bathroom doorway, then erupted into hearty, self-satisfied laughter.Hearing his deep laughter, Catherine grew even angrier.When Blake emerged, w
Sunny's eyes were filled with sorrow. She felt guilty toward her mom, knowing she no longer had a place in the Eben family.Gellman wasn't surprised and sighed, "I think it's better for you to leave this family early. It can save me from my uncle's constant attempts to introduce you to boyfriends for business marriages."Sunny's eyes widened, "How do you know?""He mentioned it when he was drinking at my place yesterday. He said he would introduce you to some clients' sons," Gellman said, his face turning grim.Sunny's face turned cold.She couldn't believe Eben was still scheming against her. It was disgusting."I'll never see him again. Let's see how he can set me up with men!" Sunny said with a cold smile.Gellman nodded, his eyes darkening.A private plane sat at the International Airport. A group of people in four cars headed for a seven-star hotel.In the car, Catherine, tired from the long flight, dozed off on Bla
