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 worried that I would clash with my father and Elena. But I wasn't as impulsive as I had been five years ago. What I wanted was just to take back the necklace my mother left me. I would leave immediately after they gave it back to me. When I arrived at the square of Shadow Forest, I found it really hopping. There were many more werewolves at the mating gathering than five years ago. 'What's going on?' While I was pondering, I heard the buzzing of the surrounding werewolves. Thinking of my purpose, I squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the center of the square as the other werewolves watched. I looked around the square and saw Elena and Gina right away. They seemed to be celebrities in nearby packs now. Perhaps Gina had made a lot of money after she became a star. Elena was talking to others in a luxurious dress, holding a glass of red wine. Gina was surrounded by a group of young female werewolves. Standing not far away, I saw that each of them had an obsequious look on their face. I wondered, 'Why do they curry favor with Gina?' I couldn't puzzle it out. Anyway, my father's Black Moon Pack wasn't the strongest among the packs around Shadow Forest. Was it only because Gina was an actress now? It must feel good to be flattered by others. I saw Gina had a smile on her face. As Gina turned around and spotted me, she goggled at me in disbelief, and the smile froze on her lips. I guessed she probably didn't want to see me in her life anymore. I quickly walked through the crowd and stood in front of Gina and all the other werewolves around her. Gina was shocked for a while and asked, "Why are you back?" I calmly said, "Where is my mother's necklace?" A guilty look flashed across Gina's face, and then she stared at me with a frown. Before Gina could speak, a female werewolf looked at me with disdain and said, "Which pack are you from? How dare you talk to the future Lycan Luna this way?" "Fanny, don't say that. I'm not Lycan Luna yet." Gina put on a triumphant smile as she proudly jutted her chin forward and looked at me with contempt. "Even though the ceremony hasn't been held yet, you have been acknowledged by the Lycan King." Fanny stood beside Gina and glared at me. This news came as a shock to me. I thought, 'Gina is the future Lycan Luna? How is this possible? She is not even good enough to be the Luna of an ordinary wolf pack. Is the Lycan King really right about it? If this is true, the Moon Goddess must have made a mistake.' Gina seemed to have gained courage from those flatterers. She straightened up and said to me in a condescending tone, "Who allowed you to come back? Don't forget that you have been banished." "I came to take back my mother's necklace. I will leave after I get it," I replied coolly. "How dare a rogue be so arrogant? Gina, you need to teach her a lesson!" Fanny crossed her arms and said venomously. I saw a hint of malice in Gina's eyes. Gina nodded at Fanny and said, "You are right." With that, Gina turned to stare at me when I noticed that her face grew solemn. Gina spoke in a cold and serious tone, "I order you to leave." The werewolves standing next to Gina seemed to be frightened. They all lowered their heads and showed respect for Gina. But to tell the truth, I didn't feel I was surpassed by her strength at all. Instead, I sensed that my wolf had woken up and seemed a little impatient. I looked at Gina and couldn't help but snort. "I repeat, I want my mother's necklace back." "How is this possible?" Fanny covered her mouth in surprise when she found that I wasn't scared at all. Gina was also flustered, but she quickly calmed herself down and said to the people around her, "She is my half-sister. This is between me and her. You guys can enjoy yourselves now. I'll meet you guys later." After those people left, Gina moved closer to me and whispered, "If you want the necklace, go with me." I followed Gina and left the square, arriving at the periphery of Shadow Forest. "Catherine, you did pick a poor timing to show up. Are you here to embarrass me? Didn't you see that there were lots of werewolves at the mating gathering? Why did you dress like a beggar? If people know that you're my sister and have been banished from the pack by Daddy, I'll feel ashamed!" Gina snarled after she looked around to ensure that there was no one around. I didn't care about Gina's sneer. I said grimly, "If you think that I'll embarrass you, give me my mother's necklace now. I won't stay any longer." "It has been so many years. You didn't find the necklace five years ago, so how can I help you find it now? Besides, I don't have time. Don't you see that many friends are waiting for me?" Gina crossed her arms over her chest and said impatiently. Judging from Gina's attitude, I knew that she wouldn't help me look for that necklace. I erupted into fury and said, "I won't leave unless I get it." When I was banished out of the pack, I had no time to pack up my things. Neither had I had the time to look for the necklace. "Are you threatening me? Catherine, I'm not what I used to be. Open your damn eyes and see who I am now. You're even too cheap to be my servant. How dare you shout at me? I'll have the guards throw you out like trash." Gina snorted and got her arrogance back. It had been a few years, but I never thought that Gina would become more domineering and annoying now.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
Catherine's POV The next morning, I woke up early. I sat up and found Noah and Hedwig still asleep beside me. My face cracked into a smile. The two kids were my sunshine and my whole world. I patted the two kids to wake them up. Mabel had gotten the breakfast ready. After washing up, I helped Hedwig wash her face and brush her teeth. Noah was an independent kid and could do these things himself. "Mommy, hug me." Hedwig blinked her beautiful big eyes sleepily. Obviously, she didn't get enough sleep. I kissed her tender face as I got her into her dress. Hedwig had an adorable expression and didn't avoid my kiss. After Hedwig finished washing, I helped Noah get dressed. Noah really cared about his image, so I dipped the comb in the water before I combed his hair. As I combed Noah's bang back, I was astonished at the sight of his smooth forehead. "How is this possible?" The man standing with Gina last night appeared in my mind. His hairstyle was the same as N
Catherine's POV I froze for a moment upon hearing their laughter and instantly tried to dry my eyes with some tissues. But I was too flustered to find any. "Mommy, are you crying?" Just as I was getting anxious, I turned around and met my kids' clear eyes. "Who made you cry? Have you been bullied by bad people?" Noah walked over and looked at me worriedly. I immediately turned around and wiped away my tears with my hand. I forced a smile and said, "No one bullied me. I just had a piece of grit in my eye!" "Mommy, don't lie to me. Do you think we are still babies?" "Right, we are four years old now!" Hedwig curled her lips and said seriously. Mabel stood at the door, staring at me with a concerned look. Perhaps because it wasn't proper to ask the reason for my crying in front of the kids, Mabel just comforted me softly. Mabel asked, "Catherine, are you all right?" "Yes, Mabel!" I answered with a guilty look. If I had known that the two kids would come back so e
Blake's POV After returning to my residence in Sayreville, I lit a cigarette and stood in front of the window, enjoying the beautiful moon. I suddenly felt a little irritable and couldn't help but pinch myself between my eyebrows. I couldn't remember how many times I had helped Leo solve his problems. Now Leo was in Europe for a vacation, so I had to investigate the two kids for him again. What a nuisance! I cursed and then contacted Henry through Mind-Link. "Henry." I sent him a voice message. After a while, I received his reply. "Good evening, King Blake!" Henry responded. Then he joked, "I'm so glad that I haven't met my mate. Otherwise, I might not be able to spend a night alone with her." "Cut the crap." I snorted, "I want all the information about the two kids in the photo." "Got it. I'll call Alpha Theo," Henry replied in a serious tone. After cutting off Mind-Link, I put out the cigarette in my hand and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Although m
Catherine's POV The man in Shadow Forest that night was actually the Lycan King. No wonder he would help Gina. I couldn't believe that the Lycan King would choose Gina as his Lycan Luna. I watched his back as he left, lost in deep thought. 'What’s he up to?' "Mommy, the Lycan King is really impressive. If only he could be our daddy. He just smiled at me, and he is very handsome!" Hedwig grabbed my sleeve and said expectantly. "Hedwig, how can you ask someone to be our daddy just because he is handsome? Our daddy is Mommy's mate. Not anyone can be our daddy!" Noah stared at Hedwig with a disapproving look. Hedwig pouted and felt sad. She snorted, "Everyone else has a daddy, but we don't. Is it because we are rogues?" Hearing this, Noah was lost for words. Honestly, the last thing I wanted was to answer the question. Although I had two kids and got back to a normal life, what had happened five years ago still left an indelible mark. I squatted down and held the two
Catherine's POV "Report me to the Council? Who do you think the Council will believe in? A rogue, or the Lycan King?" Blake seemed to like to see my angry look and teased, "Or do you want to go to the court and ask humans for help? Believe me, a werewolf like you who has no fixed address and no job won't bother me in the slightest!" I didn't know what Blake was thinking, but I saw a hint of desire in his eyes. I was riled up. 'How dare he!' My mind went blank, and I even forgot that Blake was the Lycan King. I picked up a glass of ice water from the table and splashed it on him. Blake seemed to have something to say. But before he could say it, he had gotten wet from the water. The cup of ice water landed on his handsome face. Blake wrinkled his brows and became even more intimidating, his eyes drenched with water. Ice water was flowing down his hair. "Damn it!" Since Blake was the Lycan King, no one had ever dared to splash water on him. Blake looked fur
Blake's POV When I came to the reception room and saw the woman, I found her trying to straighten up and staring at me without fear. This surprised me. All the women I had seen would try their best to show their beauty to me. Usually, they would reveal their fair necks, the weakest part of them, to show their respect for me. Some women would even curl around my legs with a flattering smile on their faces, wishing they could take off my pants. However, this woman named Catherine gave me a completely different feeling. I couldn't help but give her a second look. She was in a black dress with the neckline buttoned, revealing her beautiful neck. She might not know how incredibly sexy she was with that unruly look. I asked her about the two kids but only got showered on my face with a glass of iced water. As I was a Lycan, nobody had ever been so rude to me before. For a moment, I almost had an urge to bite her neck off. Judging by her indifferent attitude towards
Third People's POV After what happened last time, Emerson's condition got worse quickly. Blake did not know if Richard would ever regret what he did. Right now, Blake simply wanted to spare Emerson any regrets. Then, it was time for him to settle accounts with Richard and Nick. Therefore, with Catherine's consent, in less than a month, he and Catherine sent out wedding invitations after their engagement. Abigail and Patricia gave Catherine a white wedding dress that cost nearly 10 million with thousands of diamonds on it. Catherine was so moved that her eyes turned red after learning that Abigail and Patricia had given her such a precious gift. Their ring had been custom-made a long time ago. It was a rarity with only the best diamonds, and it took the most skilled craftsmen nearly a month to polish. The ring, which had yet to be named, was finally given a name by the purchaser, Blake, and he called it "the one". It was Catherine's wedding
Catherine's POV In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today. On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet. Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything. The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied. Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married. At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party. Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dar
Third People's POV The next morning, the news of Blake and Catherine's engagement was spread. It was not discovered by the reporters. Instead, because the Chavez Pack had sent the invitations early in the morning, the people who were invited would naturally talk about it. Thus, some media outlets took the opportunity to report it. They did not exaggerate the engagement banquet and simply reported it. The media and reporters were smart enough and knew clearly about what they could report unrestrainedly and whom they couldn't afford to offend. Blake was a good example. The rumors about him on the internet would always be removed in less than an hour. Therefore, if someone was ignorant and posted something about Blake randomly, he would never be able to bear the consequences. He would lose his job, implicated the entire company he was in, and even go to jail. Emily browsed the news on the internet with an ashen face. Blake and Catherine were about to get engaged.
Blake's POV Inside the manor. Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently. Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy. After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her. Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm. My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in
Blake's POV The night fell. I returned home at six o'clock in the evening. My face was cloudy. At this time, Richard should have arrived home. The car stopped outside Mountaintop Villa. I strode into the parlor. Dowen quickly came over and greeted me. "Is Richard here?" I asked in a low voice. Dowen pointed upstairs. "He just arrived. Now he is talking to Emerson and Patricia upstairs." I frowned deeply and snorted in my heart. I had made a difficult decision that I would not do anything to Richard when Emerson was still alive. However, if he kept making trouble, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. I climbed the stairs. I did not go up to see Emerson and Patricia immediately. Instead, I walked to the toy room. Then, I saw two little guys quietly practicing writing and drawing. Catherine sat gently on one side and was teaching them. Under the warm light, the scene of two children staying with their mom looked sweet. "Daddy
Blake's POV I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?" "I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it." "Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent. Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves." "Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision. When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger.
Third People's POV At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time. Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day. The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet. This matter had already come to an end. On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitud
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation? I
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
