Blake's POV
When I came down from Emerson's room, I happened to see Leo walk in. He came alone and did not bring Sunny. He looked a little tense when he came in. "Where is Sunny? Why are you here alone? Didn't you bring her?" Patricia asked him first. Leo said coldly, "She has something to do and can't come. I will bring her here next time." What Emerson just said to me upstairs proved that he knew about Marc's betrayal. I finally understood why Emerson didn't stop Abigail from leaving back then. Because he was the only one who knew the truth. All these years, he had been carrying these secrets. He must have been under great pressure. I went downstairs, and Leo greeted me. I walked up to him and whispered, "Come upstairs with me to see Emerson." "Alright." Leo nodded. He followed me upstairs reluctantly. "Emerson won't scold me anymore, right?" Leo asked as he walked. "Are you still thinking about that?" ICatherine'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
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 The sun stung my eyes, and I slowly sat up from bed and found myself in an unfamiliar room. The clothes scattered on the ground were the ones I wore at the mating ritual last night. Yesterday was a mating ritual in Shadow Forest. It was a tradition that werewolves living in New Jersey held a mating ritual in Shadow Forest every year. Alpha and Luna of every pack would bring their unmated werewolves here, looking for their mates at the ritual. Of course, if one didn't find one, the ritual next year was waiting for him. Once the ritual started, I strolled around with a drink, with no desire to find my mate. Well, you must wanna know why, because I was wolfless. As I was strolling around with a glass of raspberry juice in my hand, I saw my stepmother Elena Anderson talking to my stepsister Gina Wyatt under a tree in the corner of the square. Although I didn't have a wolf, my hearing was particularly excellent. Thus, I could still hear what they wer
Catherine's POV "Father... Alpha Wyatt..." I looked at his strange expression and suddenly had a bad feeling. "Catherine, you're banished now." Troy said seriously, "You no longer belong to the Black Moon Pack." "I am banished?" For a moment, I was lost for words. After learning that I would never have a mate in my life, I received another piece of bad news. I was banished by my father, by the Alpha of my pack. This meant that I couldn't live in the Black Moon Pack anymore. Without the protection of the werewolves, I would become a rogue. My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at my father pleadingly. Elena standing beside my father with a smirk on her face. "Alright, get out of here now. Don't present a pathetic sight. It's not us who asked you to fool around with others here," Elena spoke without scruple after getting the answer she wanted. That was who Elena truly was. She had been trying to drive me away for so many years. I was filled with sadness as tears w
******Five years later****** Catherine's POV "Miss, stop peeking at us, or I'll get angry." A cute boy said as he looked at the female werewolf who was leaning against a tree nearby to have a rest. The boy was my son, Noah Wyatt. His serious look amused those rogues around us who were resting. "Noah, relax." I gently stroked my son's hair and held my daughter closer to me. Five years ago, I became an rogue after being kicked out of my pack by my father, the Alpha. Later, I found myself pregnant. Fortunately, a friend of my mother, Mabel Erich, lent me a hand. However, I couldn't join her pack because of my father. With Mabel's care, I gave birth to my twins, Noah and Hedwig. "Mommy, are you tired? You can take a nap, and I will watch you with Noah." Hedwig looked at me with her big eyes. Noah and Hedwig were very cute. Noah was older than Hedwig. Young as he was, he was more mature than those of his age. He had a clever face with wise bright eyes. As for Hedwig
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 wo
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
