Catherine's POV
Blake opened his eyes, which had once again turned into bright gold. Blake fiercely took a step back. I no longer felt threatened anymore. "I'm sorry..." He raised his head with a regretful expression on his face. I was still sitting on the desk, my heart still beating. He scared me. I thought he would mark me here forcefully. It was so terrifying. I was utterly shocked. "I didn't scare you, did I?" In the deadly quiet study, we could hear the uneven breathing of both of us. Blake seemed to have recovered from the mad state. He looked up and asked me with concern. I still hadn't recovered from the shock just now. My wrist was still slightly hurting from his grip. I didn't want to answer him. I just tried to jump down from the desk. When my feet touched the ground, I felt my legs were so weak that I was going to collapse. I lowered my head and silently walked past Blake. I was about to walkCatherine's POV "Stop it, Melinda." I looked at Melinda helplessly. Though she was a few years older than me, she could be so immature sometimes. I recalled what happened yesterday and said, "I don't know how to describe it. It was like I stepped on some trigger or something. He suddenly became so terrifying, as if he wanted to eat me alive. He became completely ruthless." "Are you sure you're talking about King Blake?" Melinda became more curious. I nodded. "I am. I didn't know how I offended him last night. He suddenly became so horrifying. I'm still shaking now." "Catherine, personally, King Blake is horrifying in any case." Melinda smiled drily. I thought and realized that Melinda was right. Blake was the CEO of the company and the Lycan King. Everyone was afraid of him. Though he wasn't a terrifying beast, he still intimidated others. I smiled bitterly. "I guess you're right. He's the Lycan King, after all." "Catherine, d
Third person's POV "What are you talking about? Vanessa, don't be unreasonable." Guy immediately lifted the quilt and left the bed. He took out a cigarette and smoked. He took two puffs and looked at Vanessa. "Vanessa, if I didn't love you, why would I meet you here? Use your brain, OK?" Vanessa snorted and said, "If you love me, prove it! Fire Catherine! She makes me sick. She acts like she's some woman who's so pure and harmless every day, but she's actually seducing the werewolves in the Design Department who have no mates! Plus, she stole my clients. She even made a client hate my design last time! I hate her guts. Guy, I don't care. I don't care! You have to let her go. This way, we can be together forever..." "Enough! You wouldn't think so if you knew who was behind her." Vanessa was giving Guy a headache. "Who is it? Stop being so mysterious. Just tell me and see if I'll be startled. If you don't tell me, I will think that you don't love m
Catherine's POV After I had dinner with Melinda, I did not stay outside for too long. I soon went back to lakeside. I worried about my two kids, especially Hedwig, who was so clingy. If I wasn't there for her, she couldn't sleep at all. She would even cry. By the time I rushed back, it was already past nine. As expected, Hedwig was sitting in the parlor, shedding tears. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and cried, "I want mommy. Daddy, can you call mommy and ask her to come back soon?" Blake sat aside and coaxed Hedwig, his face full of distress. Just as Blake was helpless, I walked into the parlor and said, "Hedwig, Mommy is back." "Mommy..." Hedwig ran to me with great grievances. I immediately squatted down and held Hedwig tightly in my arms. Looking at her crying face, I felt so distressed and said, "There, there. Stop crying. Mommy is back, right? Let's go. Mommy will take you upstairs to sleep. You have to go
Catherine's POV I slept soundly. The next morning, I felt refreshed. Maybe it was because Blake apologized to me yesterday, which made me feel less pressure, so I didn't suffer from insomnia again. "Where's your daddy?" I went downstairs and found Noah sitting alone at the table. I couldn't help asking. Noah pointed outside the door and said, "Daddy said he'd skip breakfast because something came up at work." "OK." I frowned. Did he really have something urgent to deal with? Or did he deliberately take off in advance just to avoid the embarrassment? I had no idea. But anyway, he made it a lot easier for me. After breakfast, Dowen sent the children to school. I arrived at the office and began my busy day's work. I had reached a consensus with Melinda, and we had our eyes on several people. So, while I was working, I was also secretly observing. I wanted to find the person who tripped me that day. I had to know. I wouldn
Catherine's POV "Of course! Leo prioritizes his family's company naturally. The Design Department of the Chavez Group belongs to the headquarters of the Chavez Group. If I ask you to be my designer, the money will come back to the Chavez Group eventually. Leo is very shrewd. Anyway, since he introduced me here, I might as well do him a favor. Ms. Wyatt, go get the contract now. I'll sign it and pay the deposit right away." Jessica's words made me feel wry. I suddenly grew fond of her. Surprisingly, she saw through the matter, yet she was still willing to accept such a thing. "Miss Hall, you haven't told me yet. What is it that you're going to work with me?" I couldn't help chuckling. "You're a designer, right? You'll get to decide what I wear in private. You'll design whatever suits me, and I'll wear it, whether it looks good or not. I am young and beautiful, so I'll look good in everything. Even if you give me a piece of cloth, and I wrap myself in it,
Catherine's POV "It's starting now. How is it? Are you satisfied with the client I set you up with?" I heard a clear male voice, which sounded slightly complacent. I took my phone and quickly walked towards a quieter place. "Why are you doing this?" I didn't call him by his name because there were always people walking past me. Compared with Blake, I had to be much more cautious when dealing with Leo, because Leo was too famous. If those women knew that I was talking to Leo on the phone, I would be in trouble again. "No reason. I'm just showing support for your work," Leo said faintly, and then he sounded unhappy somehow. "You don't sound happy at all. Don't you want me to help you?" "It's not like that. I am grateful to you for your help." "Really? You don't sound grateful at all. You didn't even thank me." I couldn't help but chuckle. Then I formally thanked him, "Leo, thanks for your help." "I don't think expressing
Catherine's POV Hearing my words, Blake looked up again. His eyes were glowing with determination. "I've thought it through. I want you to be my Lycan Luna." "Blake, you're insane!" How could he say this at this sensitive moment? And it sounded like he had feelings for me! "I am not insane at all. I have already made up my mind. I am not joking." Blake took a few steps forward. "I'm attracted to you." When I saw him come closer to me, I couldn't help but take a few steps back. My heart was beating so fast, and my mind was blank. I didn't expect that Blake would say to me that he had feelings for me right now. Eva never said Blake was my mate. Even if he fell in love with me, what should he do when he met his real mate someday? Plus, he didn't really know me. Even if he was capable enough to see me through, how well did I know him? That night emerged in my mind again. He frightened me utterly back then. It made me feel
Catherine's POV After wandering for a while, I simply threw my pencil away and decided to let go. Wandering wouldn't help at all. Life would continue anyway. I drove home. In the brightly lit parlor, my two kids were playing happily. Hedwig always liked to be Noah's tail. Wherever he went, she followed, while kept staring at him with her big, innocent eyes. She did it on purpose, since she knew he could do nothing about it. "You dropped your eyeballs. Pick them up!" Noah suddenly said to her. Hedwig widened her eyes and instinctively looked down. Then she reached out and touched her eyes. "My eyes are still there. I didn't drop them. Noah, you're lying." Noah chuckled. "You are indeed a fool, Hedwig. How can you still see me if you drop your eyeballs?" "Noah, you are so bad. You are lying! I will tell mommy!" Hedwig went upset at once. She turned around and saw me standing at the door. She immediately ran to me excitedly. "Mommy, yo
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
