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 wilHarley's POV At noon, Catherine found a table in a restaurant near the company and sent me the address. Ten minutes later, I showed up in front of her. The clothes I liked to wear didn't change over the years. I still liked casual clothes, just like when Catherine and I used to live in the same pack. Catherine sized me up. Then she smiled and said, "Harley, what happened? Why did you suddenly want to eat with me?" I looked at her, feeling uneasy. I swallowed the questions I wanted to ask her. "Nothing. I just felt that I messed up the last meal and wanted to treat you to another," I said with a smile, trying my best to be calm. "Why did you ask Gina to come over last time?" Catherine was still a bit angry at the mention of last time. I was stunned for a second and replied casually, "Actually, it was Gina who offered to eat together that day. She said that the three of us hadn't seen each other in ages, so she wanted us to have
Catherine's POV I told Melinda the truth today, and I had lunch with Harley, knowing that he was going to pursue his dream. Therefore, I felt better. I wasn't as agitated as last night. With this in mind, I went back to work. In the afternoon, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen. It was my father, Troy, the Alpha of Black Moon Pack. I hesitated for a few seconds and still picked up the phone. "Catherine, do you have a minute? I have something to tell you." He had always been so indifferent to me since I was a kid. "Alpha Wyatt, what is it? Let's talk about it now. I'm still working." I was telling the truth. I really couldn't go out to see him now. Ever since I was banished from Black Moon Pack, I addressed him differently. "I want you to come with me to the hospital." "The hospital? Are you sick? Can't the doctor in the pack do anything?" I was shocked when I heard the word "hospital". "I'm not
Catherine's POV I sat in the car. I stooped over the steering wheel and cried hard, venting all my grievances. If that was really what Alpha Wyatt wanted, I could forgive Gina for using my name to enjoy five years of wealth and glory. But from now on, I was no longer related to Black Moon Pack, because my relationship with them had become nothing but a trade. After crying for a long time, I found it was getting dark outside the window. I checked the time. It was almost seven o'clock. I wiped my tears off and opened the car window. The cold wind at night instantly made me freeze. However, no matter how cold I felt, I didn't want to close the window. I should let the wind make my eyes no longer red and swollen. When I was about to reach Blake's villa, my phone rang. It was Blake. I reached for my phone and pressed the speaker button. He asked faintly, "You're not going home for dinner again tonight?" "I'll be home soon,"
Catherine's POV Noah raised his chin slightly. His face was delicate and he looked cool. "Leo, listen up. My first request is that you are not allowed to say anything that my mommy hates ever again. You are not allowed to bully my mommy. You are not allowed to make her angry. And my second request is..." "Wait a minute, Noah. You said three sentences. Weren't these three requests already?" Noah blinked his big eyes. Then he tilted his head and thought carefully. "Well, you may be right." "Noah, the three requests are all for your mommy. Why don't you ask for something else? For example, you can ask me to buy you a toy you like, or take you somewhere you want..." Leo quickly persuaded Noah. Noah's big eyes instantly lit up when he heard the word "toy". Leo looked at Noah expectantly. But then Noah said, "No, I won't change my requests. I can ask my dad to buy me toys. He has plenty of money, and he can take me to anywhere we want." After some serious consideration, Noah
Catherine's POV After Leo left, I took the kids for a walk in the garden and came back to bathe them. They were tired. After the bath, they climbed onto the bed and fell asleep at once. I got out of the shower, and I saw a light in Blake's study. I didn't want to disturb him, but I still had to talk to him about Gina. I made a promise to Alpha Wyatt. I should do what I said. I was not a heartless person, but after this, I had nothing to do with Black Moon Pack anymore. I walked over and knocked on the door gently. "Come in!" I heard Blake's low and magnetic voice. It was particularly charming on such a quiet night. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Blake was sitting on the black leather chair behind the desk, looking at me, poker-faced. "Are the children asleep?" Blake asked about the children. I nodded and took a look at Blake. Then I lowered my head, trying to figure out how to tell him about it. Not only did Gina hurt me, but she also lied t
Blake's POV After Catherine left, I was not in the mood to work anymore. I lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and looked up at the closed door. The door wasn't pushed open again till midnight. It meant that she gave up on the idea of making a deal with me. At the thought of this, I was even more upset. She was so ridiculous. She acted as if nothing had ever happened after tempting me. The next morning, she held Hedwig's hand and walked into the dining room. I sat at the dining table. Noah was sitting next to me, already having his breakfast. "Morning, mommy!" Noah greeted her smilingly. "Morning!" Catherine patted Noah's head. "Noah, I dreamed of you last night!" Hedwig said with a smile. "What was I doing?" Noah asked curiously. Hedwig immediately said loudly, "You were taking a dump on the bed in my dream. It was so stinky that I woke up." I was eating, and her words almost made me choke. Catherine could not help but chuckle. Noah turned pale with anger, poi
Blake's POV After kissing Catherine this morning, I was in a particularly good mood. A day of tense and busy work passed again, and I went home early to accompany Noah and Hedwig. When Catherine walked into the parlor, I was watching the kids playing and enjoying themselves. "I'm so happy to finally have a holiday tomorrow!" Noah was jumping around in the parlor, talking non-stop. Hedwig ran beside him with a smile. "Noah, I want to go for a picnic tomorrow. What do you think?" "Sure! I'm already excited!" Noah had a rare look of childlike innocence on his face. "Noah, let's go for a picnic. And we should let daddy and mommy come with us together. I'm sure it'll be fun!" said Hedwig. "What are you little things talking about?" Catherine came in and asked with a smile. "Mommy, you came back just in time. Noah and I are talking about having a picnic tomorrow." Hedwig smiled happily when she saw Catherine. Then she held Catherine's hand tightly and looked up at Catheri
Blake's POV When the kids heard that there was a picnic tomorrow, they were so happy and ran back and forth in the parlor. For now, I shared my room with Noah on the second floor. Our room was next to Catherine and Hedwig's room. I went to the second floor and stood at the door of my room. Suddenly, someone opened the door next to the room and didn't close it. The feeling of kissing Catherine this morning flashed across my mind. Her lips were soft and fragrant, with the sweet smell of milk. I was addicted to kissing her at once. I didn't know if it was because I hadn't found my mate for too long. Yet somehow, I felt that the kiss made me lose control in the blink of an eye. My wolf began to stir again, and I also felt suffocated. I reached out and wanted to push open the door, while someone beat me to it. Catherine had changed from her suits and stood in front of me in a loose blouse. My hand that was about to push open the door froze in midair. When I saw the tw
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
