Catherine’s POV
“Catherine, did you send Noah and Hedwig to kindergarten? Why haven’t you come back?”
It was Mabel on the phone. To reassure her, I quickly explained, “Yeah, the kids are at kindergarten now. And… They are doing great. I’m going to the market for some shopping and will be back soon. Is anything wrong?”
“No, I just want to tell you that Cedrick is back.” Mabel sounded relaxed and cheerful.
“Cedrick?” I felt a little familiar with the name.
“My eldest son. You met him when you were young. Oh, I forgot that you were still a baby at that time.” Mabel laughed heartily. Then she continued, “Anyway, you can know each other after you come back.”
“Okay, I will be back as soon as possible.”
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Blake again and saw a strange look on his face. He seemed to be mad at something..
Yet I was in no mood to guess his feelings. I demanded again, “Hurry to give my kids back to me. I got something to do tonight and have no time to waste on you.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you are in a hurry, go find them yourself!” Blake casually spread his arms
“You wretch!” I stamped my foot in anger and picked a direction before I ran out.
‘Fine. I can look for the kids myself. I swear that I’ll find them even if I have to turn this place inside
out.’
However, I felt like I was in a large maze as soon as I stepped out of the living room.
‘Heavens! Why did he build his house like a maze?’
As I was so confident when I came out, I was too ashamed to go back and beg him.
Then I only gritted my teeth and chanted the kids’ names as I ran forward.
I walked through two corridors and searched several rooms, but I never heard the kids’ response.
I felt a dart of panic. ‘Is there a secret room in this place? Did Blake hide Hedwig and Noah there?’
With firm determination, I walked around the villa a few more times. My throat was hoarse and my
legs were tired, but I still couldn’t find the kids.
Standing in the strange hall and looking at the strange furnishings, I knew that I was lost.
I squatted in depression and leaned against a marble column.
“Noah, Hedwig, where are you?” I felt both upset and helpless, with tears running down my cheeks.
Suddenly, I felt a kick on my leg. I looked up and then saw Blake standing next to me.
“Get up. I’ll take you to them.” Blake looked at me as if I was a poor puppy.
“Really?” I jumped up from the floor.
Then I realized that I might be too happy and quickly calmed myself down.
I was desperate just now. After Blake offered to help me, I was so overjoyed that I even forgot how despicable and shameless he was.
I thought that I was a little stupid. Why should I be grateful to him? He was the one who had taken my kids away.
“Follow me!” Blake strode towards a corridor with his long legs.
I quickly walked behind him despite my tired legs.
Actually, my tiredness was gone when I thought that I could see my kids soon.
Just as I quickened my pace to catch up with him, Blake suddenly stopped.
Obsessed with the kids, I didn’t even have time to stop but directly ran into his back.
My nose was hurting.
‘Is his body made of iron? Why is it so hard?’
“By the way, please wash your face before going to see the kids. You look really wretched now.”
Blake turned around and shot a disdainful glance at me.
I glared at him and said, “It was all your fault. If you had allowed me to see them, I wouldn’t have been like this.”
“So you’ve always thought you’re pretty?” Blake sneered.
I straightened up and said in a confident voice, “Of course. When I was in Pennsylvania, a lot of men tried to hit on me. You have a bad taste, but others don’t.”
“Well, it seems that you’re flirtatious about your relationship. In such a case, I think that it’s not good to leave the kids in your care. A stable home environment is necessary for werewolf cubs,” Blake crossed his arms over his chest and guessed.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say and had a feeling that I was falling for Blake’s trick.
Blake crossed his arms over his chest and guessed.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say and had a feeling that I was falling for Blake’s trick.
He was just trying to take the kids away from me!
“Who is more flirtatious? I heard that the Lycan King didn’t mark his Luna and often dated different
lovers. So, shouldn’t you see yourself first when you pick on me?” I retorted.
“Who told you that I have a lot of lovers?” Blake raised his eyebrows with a scornful smile.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, “No one told me that. After I arrived at Sayreville, the surrounding packs were all gossiping about you.”
“Since you said it was gossip, why do you believe it?”
I snorted, “Why not? If it’s about you, I will believe it.”
Blake’s face darkened.
“I’ll ask you again. Was it you or Gina who slept with me that night?” Blake suddenly asked.
I was frightened by the fierce look on his face and said with fear, “So what if it’s me? Anyway, you’ve announced that Gina is your future Lycan Luna?”
“If it was you, it would mean that Gina lied to me,” said Blake coldly. “But during these years, she always took for granted everything I gave her.”
Hearing this, I had a wicked thought. ‘Will Blake part from Gina if I admit that I was the woman with him that night?’
In fact, I had doubted why Gina would be chosen as the future Lycan Luna after I returned to Sayreville. She didn’t get much Alpha aura from my father.
Besides, my father’s Black Moon Pack wasn’t a strong pack in Shadow Forest, let alone in New
Jersey.
More importantly, Gina didn’t have any qualifications required for a Luna.
How could a plain woman like Gina who had no powerful backer become a star in New Jersey? All of this must be credited to Blake.
“Didn’t you feel the Lycan aura from Noah? Who else could it be except for me? Do you regret it now? Are you thinking about how to explain it to the royal family and the Council?”
It occurred to me that Blake had been providing help to Gina for the past five years, and he had also announced that Gina was the future Lycan Luna. But now, he found out he made a mistake. How should he explain it to the royal family and the Council?
