Chapter 6

• 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 a mating gathering in Shadow Forest today. Will you come?" Gina had a bright smile on her face and said in a sweet voice, "I mean, can you go there with me?"
• "Not interested." I cast a cold glance at her and wondered when she could understand my attitude and stay away from me.
• "Okay, I got it. I'll leave now." I saw that Gina seemed to be devastated and left my office in depression.
• In the evening, I stood in front of the window after finishing my work and saw the firelight in Shadow Forest in the distance.
• That should be the square for mating gatherings.
• I loosened the tie on my neck and contacted my Beta through Mind-Link.
• "Henry, get the car ready. Let's go to the mating gathering in Shadow Forest."
• "Okay," Henry responded.
• When I arrived at Shadow Forest with my men, I saw Gina and a woman standing in front of her.
• The woman gave me a familiar feeling. She had long brown hair and a slender waist.
• As I tried to look at the woman more clearly, she gave Gina a slap.
• What a rude woman!
• I walked over and slightly released my Lycan aura. Then I saw Henry and Gina lowering their heads because of my Lycan aura.
• But the strange woman still held her head high and looked at me provocatively, which surprised me.
• 'Who exactly is she?
• Why wasn't she affected by my pressure?'
• Catherine's POV
• By the time I got back to Mabel's house, both of my children had taken a shower.
• Noah was fiddling with a wooden toy on the sofa, and Mabel was drying Hedwig's hair with a hairdryer next to him.
• Although Hedwig was young, she had a cute chubby face and looked just like a doll with her soft brown hair.
• "Mommy! Have you had dinner?" Noah put down his toy and ran over to hold my leg when he saw me.
• "Yes. It's time to go to bed, babe. Tomorrow morning, we will go to meet the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack and see if we can join them." I couldn't help but squat and kiss Noah's face.
• After Hedwig's hair became dry, Mabel wore Hedwig's hair in bunches.
• "Catherine, go take a shower. I'll take care of the kids." Mabel had three children, so she was experienced in looking after children.
• Besides, Noah and Hedwig were good kids and never caused trouble.
• I nodded and looked at Mabel with gratitude. "Thank you, Mabel. I will take a shower now."
• When I saw my children, what had happened tonight flashed across my mind. Instantly, my spirits drooped.
• But I held back my tears in front of Noah and Hedwig. No matter how hard life was, I wouldn't cry in front of the children.
• They were very sensitive despite their young age. If I was in a bad mood, they would get infected too.
• "Silly girl, I even held you when you were a kid. I'm glad that I could help you." Mabel stared at me lovingly.
• When she saw me come back empty-handed, she probably had guessed that I had failed this time.
• "Mommy, we're gonna go to bed now." Noah looked at me and then at Mabel before he took Hedwig's hand.
• "Noah, I want to sleep in Mommy's arms." Hedwig pouted and asked in a low voice.
• "Mommy will come to sleep with us after she gets out of the bathroom. Let's go to bed first." Noah patted Hedwig's face and comforted her.
• "But... But I can't sleep without Mommy." Tears welled up in Hedwig's amber eyes.
• "Hedwig, you are a coward." Noah stuck his tongue out at Hedwig.
• "I'm not! You're a bad brother!" Hedwig pouted angrily and retorted in a cute voice.
• "Humph, catch me if you can." Noah made a face and ran to the bedroom, followed by Hedwig.
• The two little kids quickly ran into the bedroom.
• "Be careful!" Mabel shouted in worry.
• I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Because I was flung to the ground by Blake's subordinate, my clothes were covered in dust.
• After I dried my hair, I walked to the bedroom and found the kids bouncing around on the bed.
• Mabel stood by the bed and fixed her eyes on them, worrying that they would fall to the floor.
• "Kids, stop it. Let's go to sleep. We have things to do tomorrow." Walking to the bedside, I put the pillow in place and patted it.
• Then I got up and said to Mabel, "Mabel, thank you for taking care of them today. Why don't you go to have a rest now? I'll put them to bed."
• "Okay. Come up to me after they fall asleep. I have something to say." Mabel nodded and left.
• I turned off the light in the room and climbed onto the bed.
• With the moonlight shining through the window, there was a pretty silver halo on the covers.
• This reminded me of the nights I had spent in the past five years. Every evening, I stayed with Noah and Hedwig, bathed in moonlight.
• I gently patted their small arms, during which I gradually calmed down.
• The kids were tired from the journey, and they had been playing for a long time. As a result, they soon fell asleep.
• Hearing their even breathing, I softly pulled my arm out.
• I carefully got out of bed and looked at Noah and Hedwig under the moonlight. I was very satisfied.
• No matter what I had suffered outside, I would pull myself together when I saw my kids.
• I slipped out of the bedroom and walked to the living room. Mabel was knitting a sweater on the sofa.
• "What Elena and Gina did is outrageous. That's your mother's necklace. How could they keep it and refuse to give it back to you?" Mabel stared up at me with a concerned look.
• "I didn't see Elena." I lowered my head and stroked the bruise Blake left on my arm.
• "You can go to see Troy. No matter what, he is your father. I think he will return your mother's thing to you." Mabel put down the sweater and took a sip of water.
• "I'll try." I looked at Mabel and nodded.
