With Mabel’s help. I quickly cooked three plates of spaghetti bolognese. and Mabel fried eggs and two slices of ham for Noah and Hedwig.
We ate up all the spaghetti soon.
“Noah, take Hedwig to our room.” I had something to tell Mabel, but I didn’t want to say it in front of Noah and Hedwig.
After the two children returned to the room, Mabel came to sit by me.
“Catherine, what happened? You don’t look very well.” Mabel asked with
concern.
“Mable, he wants to take the children away.” As soon as I began to talk. the grievances I had felt today appeared again, and my tears streamed down.
“What?” Mabel looked shocked. She lowered her voice and asked, “You really found Noah and Hedwig’s father?”
I wiped my tears and sobbed. “Noah’s aura is different from that of an ordinary werewolf. And that man even asked the doctor to check him.”
“Then what should we do? What kind of person is he? How can he take the children away? Catherine, you raised Noah and Hedwig yourself. You can never give them to him, okay? Young werewolves will be weak if they aren’t around their mother,” Mabel said anxiously.
“But he is rich and powerful, and I can’t compete with him.” When I thought of Blake’s powerful Lycan aura, I became more desperate and helpless.
“Then let him mark you. You will become a member of his pack. He is Noah and Hedwig’s father. And he is probably your mate.”
“He won’t mark me.” I never thought of becoming the Lycan King’s mate,
“Why? Don’t tell me that he has a mate already,” Mabel asked doubtfully.
“No, he hasn’t marked anyone yet.” I shook my head.
“He hasn’t met his mate yet, and you haven’t, either. You can consider being with him. Nowadays, not all werewolves live with their own mate.” Mabel advised.
“It’s impossible. Mabel, he won’t mark me. There is a huge gap between our identities.” I sighed..
“Who is he? Is he the Alpha of a wolf pack?”
“He is King Blake,” I replied.
“What? King Blake?” Mabel looked at me in shock. “You mean Blake Chavez, from the royal family? Our Lycan King?”
I suddenly lost my confidence. My hands clenched tightly, and I nodded. in despair.
“My Moon Goddess! Catherine, are Noah and Hedwig King Blake’s children?” Mabel exclaimed in disbelief, “No wonder they are so good- looking and smart. It turns out that their father is King Blake!”
“Mabel, you know how difficult the situation is to me, right?” I forced myself to continue, “When I returned to the Shadow Forest this time, I heard that the Lycan King already had a candidate for his Lycan Luna. So he won’t mark me. He only wants the children.”
Mabel patted me on the back to comfort me. “Catherine, I understand what you mean. I am worried about you, but I don’t know how to comfort you. If Noah and Hedwig were King Blake’s children, he might really take
them away. After all, Noah and Hedwig are the descendants of the royal family, and King Blake won’t let them live outside.”
I leaned on Mabel’s shoulder and shed tears in silence.
After crying for a while, I felt tired and fell asleep on the sofa.
I didn’t know how long I had slept, but I was suddenly woken up by my phone. I glanced at the sky outside the window and found that it was getting dark. Then I looked down at the strange number on the screen and picked it up doubtfully.
“Hi, Catherine.” A gentle voice of a man sounded from the other side of
the line.
“Hello, may I ask who this is?” I felt a little familiar with the voice, but I
was not sure.
“This is Harley. Don’t you remember me?” The man let out a pleasant
chuckle.
I suddenly realized that it was Harley Hicks.
Harley was a member of my father’s pack, and his father was my father’s
former Beta.
We grew up together, and I once had a crush on him.
My mother died in an invasion of rogues, and so did Harley’s father.
Harley’s mother no longer chose to accept the Second Chance and brought up Harley alone.
After my father married Elena, Elena’s elder brother became the new Beta.
“I remember. How did you know my number?” I was both surprised and puzzled.
“I heard that you returned to the Shadow Forest, so I tried to contact you.
I didn’t expect it to be your number. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Do you have time? Let me take you to dinner,” Harley sounded as if he was smiling
“Okay, I see. Send me the address.” I smiled and hung up the phone. Then I went to Mabel’s room and asked her to take care of Noah and Hedwig
for a while.
Noah, who had been playing for the whole day, had fallen asleep on the bed. Hedwig was having fun with a ball of wool in Mabel’s arms.
I kissed Hedwig on the cheek and then left Mabel’s house.
I went to the restaurant that Harley chose.
It was a high–end restaurant with luxurious decorations and bright chandeliers. I didn’t expect that there would be such a luxurious place in Sayreville, so I was a little surprised for a moment.
I didn’t know how much a meal would cost here. I hadn’t seen Harley for many years. Why was he so generous now?
I was taken to the reserved table by the waiter and sat down. It was by the window, and I could see the lights outside.
I picked up my cup, drank some water, and waited patiently.
After drinking three glasses of water, I checked the time again. It was almost 7 pm, but why wasn’t Harley here yet?
I still had to go back early, bathe my two children, and coax them to sleep.
Just as I was starting to get anxious, I saw two people walking toward me from afar
One was Harley, and the other was Gina.
My expression changed, and my brows furrowed. I was confused in my heart. Why did Harley appear with Gina?
Were we gonna cat with Gina tonight?
At the thought of Gina’s previous performance and her arrogant tone. I wanted to leave immediately.
“Catherine…” They walked over, and Harley greeted me happily.
When I saw the man I had a crush on, no matter how much I hated Gina, I put on a smile.
“Harley! Why did you come with her?” I did not hide my disgust for Gina.
Gina, however, began to act again. She stuffed her handbag into Harley’s hand like a rich young lady. “Harley, help me place my bag!”
Harley immediately took the bag and placed it on the side. He turned around and explained to me, “Catherine, you still don’t know, right? I am now the Gamma of the wolf pack. Alpha Wyatt asked me to be in charge of Gina’s guards.”
