Gina's POV
After I went to Catherine yesterday, I returned home and did not go out. My assistant were calling me, but I didn't dare to pick up, because I knew it was going to be bad news. I returned to the territory of Black Moon Pack and smashed everything in the room. But I was still furious. I slept in the empty living room all day and night. Finally, in the evening, the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack went home together with his Luna, my mother. "Gina, what the hell happened? What's wrong with you?" My mother Elena had just finished her trip. She was horrified to see me curled up on the sofa and the messy living room. She hurriedly came up and asked me. I covered my face and cried. I said, "Elena, that bitch Catherine told Blake about what happened five years ago. And now Blake is mad at me, saying I lied to him. He has pulled me off all the endorsements. I don't know what he will do to me later. Elena, I am doomed." EGina's POV "Really? You can't find it? Fine! Then I will tear this place apart and see if you're telling the truth." I was so furious right now. If I couldn't vent my anger, I would snap. "Gina, let's talk. Don't smash anything, OK? I may have left the necklace at my parents' place. Can I go there to take a look?" Elizabeth tried to stall. Of course, I wouldn't allow her to do that. If Elizabeth went to find her parents, Sunset Pack's Alpha would be spooked. If they sent the guards of the pack over, things would be tricky for me. What was more, Elizabeth clearly underestimated my anger by saying so. Now it wasn't just about finding the necklace anymore. The most important thing was that I was pissed off, and I needed to get it out on someone. Elizabeth ruined my life. On no ground would I let her off the hook easily. "Smash the place! And find me the necklace as well. I'll give a million dollars to anyone who finds it." I sat down on the so
Catherine's POV After dinner at Mabel's place, Noah and Hedwig were already sleepy. "Daddy..." Hedwig immediately crawled into Blake's arms, wanting to sleep. Noah was also a little sleepy and somewhat tired. After I said goodbye to Mabel, Blake and I left Mabel's place with Hedwig and Noah in our arms. "You take the kids home. I'll drive myself." When we reached the door of Mabel's place, I decided not to go with Blake. Blake did not insist. "OK. Drive safely." His sudden concern surprised me. I didn't say anything. I simply nodded and handed Noah over to him. After I got into the car, I didn't start the car immediately. I sat in the car and was in a daze for a while. I had to admit that Blake was becoming better. He wasn't as aggressive as before. Also, his indifferent and hostile demeanors that I hated were gone. I found it easier to communicate with him, and just now, he showed his concerns about me. Why the
Catherine's POV At Blake's insistence, we went to the best hospital in Sayreville, though it was relatively far from the lakeside villa. After the doctor examined Hedwig, we gave her something to reduce her fever. Soon, Hedwig started to sweat, and she was no longer burning. The doctor said that Hedwig's fever was because of her inflamed throat. The doctor prescribed some medicine and told us to go back to see how things went. If Hedwig didn't get better, we had to come back tomorrow for further treatment. On the way back, I was a little tired. Hedwig was in Blake's arms, and I leaned against the back seat with my eyes closed. Maybe I was too sleepy. I just wanted to take a nap, yet I fell asleep. I slept soundly and did not realize that I was leaning against Blake's shoulder. The car drove back to the villa. It was already past four in the morning. I woke up and suddenly found my head resting on something warm.
Catherine's POV I turned around and smiled when I saw Leo's flushed face. "So what? If you think you are a joke, well, you deserve it. Experience must be bought, right? Be nicer to others from now on. Don't push people into the corner just because they refuse to work with you. How do you feel now shooting yourself in the foot?" "Don't think you can talk to me like that just because you had two kids with Blake..." "Leo, is everyone in the royal family as unreasonable and condescending as you are?" I raised my eyebrows and talked back a little unhappily. Leo was stunned! I didn't bother to talk to him anymore. I wanted to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat. "You... You have to apologize to me. You knew the truth, yet you still watched me make a fool of myself yesterday." Leo caught up with me and said so. I opened up the fridge and took a look. There were a lot of fresh ingredients inside. Dowen might have gone out on an
Catherine's POV It was ten o'clock in the evening. I helped Hedwig and Noah take a bath and read bedtime stories to Hedwig. "Daddy hasn't come back yet. It's so late!" Hedwig had taken a nap, and though she was feeling sleepy now, she did not want to fall asleep when she realized that Blake was not back yet. I stroked her head and comforted her gently, "Hedwig, daddy might be caught up with something important, so he will be back late. Go to sleep. You can play with your daddy in your dream, OK?" "Mommy, is daddy in danger?" Hedwig was so worried. She blinked. I chuckled. "Your daddy is the Lycan King. Nothing will happen to him. Don't worry. Just go to sleep." "I can't. I miss him!" Hedwig pouted and said pitifully. "Then Mommy will sing you to sleep, OK?" I thought of a way. "Well, Mommy, you can give it a try. I don't know if I can sleep." Hedwig gave in and decided to hear me sing. I began to hum a few lulla
Catherine's POV I woke up early the next morning, and I checked Hedwig's temperature again. It was normal. It seemed that Hedwig was recovering well after taking the medicine. I ran next door to wake Noah up, and then I helped Noah and Hedwig wash up in the bathroom. Finally, I took them downstairs for breakfast. When I was walking downstairs, I deliberately took a glance at the sofa. Blake was no longer there. I didn't know where he had gone. "Dowen, did you see my daddy? Did he stay out last night?" As soon as Hedwig entered the dining room, she asked Dowen. Dowen immediately smiled and replied, "Good morning, Princess. King Blake came back and stayed here last night, but he went to the Chavez Group early in the morning." "Oh? Daddy didn't stay out yesterday? But where did he sleep? Why didn't he come to my room to sleep? Bad daddy." Noah was unhappy. I quickly urged Noah and Hedwig to have breakfast. "Enough with the quest
Gina's POV I had already agreed to the termination of my contract. Two days had passed, and things for me were not getting any better. All kinds of bad news keep coming. I finally couldn't bear to stay at home anymore. Today, I came to my studio with a sullen face. After I became a star, I asked Harley to help me set up a studio. Of course, not all the employees were werewolves. I walked into the studio and saw all my assistants sitting there sighing. "What's wrong?" My heart sank. I had a bad feeling. Harley walked out of his office with a bunch of contracts in his hand. "Gina, all your trips have been called off. And the talk show you were supposed to be on today had a last-minute change." "What? Then who will be the guest?" I felt a little unsteady on my feet, and I couldn't help but hold the wall beside me. Coldness penetrated my heart. I tried to look at him with widened eyes. "Tell me!" "Lorelei Pope." Harley said. I kn
Harley's POV "You had a crush on me? When? I have no idea." I was telling the truth. Catherine had been the center of my attention, so, I was a little dazed at Gina's words. Status didn't matter to me. I didn't like Catherine because she was once the daughter of Alpha. "I'm sure you know it, Harley. You're just too shy to admit it, right? But I'm serious. I had a crush on you five years ago. Back then, you were close to Catherine, so I never dared to tell you," Gina said with a serious face. "Gina, why are you saying all this? It's water under the bridge now. Let it go." I calmed down in a short while. I stayed by Gina's side for the last five years through all the ups and downs. However, I only thought of her as my friend and colleague. That was all. "No, I don't want to let it go. Harley, you know that there are some sponsors in Hollywood with more resources. I've decided to find myself a rich sponsor. But before that, I hope that you wil
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
