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 notCatherine'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
Catherine's POV I was forced to agree to Blake's terms, and I was about to leave in frustration. But I still felt unwilling. After a few steps, I suddenly turned back and asked, "Blake, tell me, are you seeing someone?" Blake was stunned and frowned slightly. "Who said that?" "No one. I just want to hear it from you." I didn't want to tell him that when he was drunk that night, I heard something I shouldn't have heard. "No. You are the first so far," Blake said seriously. I could not be sure whether he was telling the truth. I frowned. "The deal is off once I find out you're lying." "Don't worry. There will be no other woman," replied Blake. When I met his firm eyes, my heart trembled slightly. His eyes were deep and glowing, making my face a bit hot. I didn't dare to look him in the eye anymore. I quickly turned around and went downstairs in a panic. After dinner, I took my son and daughter for a walk in the garden. "Mommy, when we were eating just now, I foun
Catherine's POV I heard Blake laugh behind, so I quickened my pace to catch up with Noah and Hedwig. "Mommy, do you have a fever?" asked Hedwig, looking at me as I ran to them. Noah also cried out in concern, "Mommy, your face is burning. I remember that when stupid Hedwig was having a fever, her face was also like that." My body froze. Then I heard someone laughing even louder. Noah's concern put me in a very awkward situation. "I'm not sick. I just ran too fast. Go ahead. Remember. Be careful!" I reached out and touched my face. It was indeed burning. It was all Blake's fault. Why did he say those things to me? After half an hour, the four of us finally arrived at the picnic spot, which was a large lawn located at the mountainside. The grass was green, and the view was very nice. It offered views of downtown Sayreville down the hill and the surrounding nature. "Mommy, look! It's so beautiful. Take selfies with me." Hedwig loved beautiful things and naturally wo
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
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
