Blake's POV
*Blake, it's not that I can't have your money, I just don't want it. I am not interested. I want to make my own money. Of course, I can't be richer than you. But it's my own money and I feel comfortable using it." *Catherine, I can fire you directly. You know I can do that," Upon hearing that she wanted to focus on making money, I immediately said mischievously.
"According to the contract, if you want to fire me, you have to pay me at least 100 thousand dollars as a penalty. With this money, I can hold on for quite a while and find other jobs." Catherine was not threatened by me at all.
"I can make it impossible for you to find any jobs in New Jersey," I threatened.
Catherine was immediately annoyed. "Do you dare to do so? If you do, Noah and Hedwig will not acknowledge you as their father anymore. Don't go too far."
Catherine's voice was so sharp that I had to take my phone away from me. This woman was so shrewish!
"I was just joking with you. How can you be so childish and take it seriously? Don't worry. You can keep working, but you can't neglect the children." I immediately resumed my usual tone, not daring to be impudent to this

"Humph! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Catherine hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, I asked my men to set off, and a fleet of cars drove on the road under the neon lights.
I was a little tired as I leaned against the back seat and closed my eyes to rest.
It was time for Grandma's Alpha gathering...
Sayreville was far less prosperous than New York, but there were still many high-end restaurants at downtown. I arrived at the venue. There were already many people from other packs talking to each other.
When I stepped into the venue, I immediately saw an old lady with gray hair and silver glasses.
Her temperament stood out in the crowd and she had the strongest aura. Although her hair was already gray, her skin was still smooth. She still looked radiant.
This was my grandmother, Patricia Chavez.
"Madam Chavez, you are blessed with such a grandson. I heard that this hotel belongs to King Blake. We are really honored to be able to participate in this gathering."
"Yes, Madam Chavez."
I saw the satisfied smile on Grandma's face when she heard the compliments of others.
The people who received the invitation to this gathering were not only Grandma's friends. There were also people from several powerful packs in New Jersey.
"None of these are important to me. Of course, Blake is a great Lycan King. However, he hadn't found her Luna. I'm really anxious about this. I hope that the Moon Goddess has not given up on him and can guide him to find his mate quickly,"
Grandma looked at the people in front of her and said with a smile.
Several female werewolves, who were the daughters of the Alphas, lowered their heads shyly when they heard my grandmother's words.
There were three ladies around the same age. All of them were young and beautiful. I could tell that they were well raised.
However, they came here today for the same purpose.
They hoped that they were my destined mate. Therefore, although they appeared to be friendly, they were secretly comparing themselves to each other.
I sighed in my heart, then cleared my throat and walked towards the center of the venue.
My appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue, and some even looked at me blankly, forgetting to control their facial expressions.
The three women who were standing next to Grandma also immediately looked at me.
I didn't look at them. Instead, I walked toward my grandmother directly.
I said gently, "Grandma..."
The three women at the side blushed slightly, which was the common reaction of women when they saw me. Grandma waved at me and said with a smile, 'Come here, Blake. I will introduce you to some friends."
I glanced around and saw the three young women looking at me with infatuation. I couldn't help but frown slightly.
I maintained my demeanor, walking to my grandmother and sitting down on a chair.
'Blake, this is Rosemary Stephenson, the daughter of the Silver Spring Pack's Alpha. This is Helen Bowman, the female Alpha of the White Rose Pack. And this is Margaret Dunn from the Ocean Pack. You can call her Maggie. They are all good children. Say hello to them and give them your number. You can hang out with them in the future."
Grandma said straightforwardly with a smile on her face.
I put on a gentle and polite smile and took out three business cards from my pocket.
"This is my business card. Nice to meet you!" In front of Grandma, I tried to be nice to these three female wolves.
"It's such an honor to meet you, too, King Blake.
"Yeah. King Blake, you are much more amiable than I thought."
The three women happily took my business card, blushing with excitement.
However, they did not know that it was not my number. It's Henry's. He could find all kinds of excuses to prevent them from seeing me again.
To please Grandma, I tried my best to chat with each of them. I endured their fiery gazes as I carefully looked at them one by one.
However, just as I expected, none of them was my mate.
Leroy didn't even show any signs of waking up.
I didn't have any appetite until the end. I could not help thinking about the two children at home. I didn't know if they would blame me for not going back.
Finally, the gathering was over. I followed behind my grandmother and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, where will you be staying tonight?"
"I'm going to my best friend's place tonight. I can have a nice chat with her. So I'm not going to your place." Grandma said lightly and stared at me sternly. "None of them is your mate?"
"I know that the werewolves you chose were excellent, but they are not my mate. I will try my best to find my mate. Grandma, don't worry."
"Don't give me an empty promise again, Blake. What can I do to make you think more about finding your mate? You have to know every pack has to have a Luna and the royal family needs a Lycan Luna.
"Grandma, don't worry. I'll give you a big surprise in the future. I promise you'll be satisfied," I said softly.
"Well, I just hope your surprise won't tum out to be a shock." Grandma sighed.
I didn't bring the two children to Grandma immediately because I hoped that I could spend more time with them before telling my family the truth.
Now, I was still trying to get along with them. Although the two little ones accepted me, there was still Catherine in the middle, so I am not confident enough to hold on to them.
The thought that the children might leave me made me afraid and worried.
I wouldn't let that happen.
