Blake‘s POV
“What‘s wrong?” I didn‘t know why she suddenly cried. I couldn‘t help asking with concern.
“Go away!” Though Catherine was angry, she still tried her best to lower her volume. After I loosened my grip, she pushedangrily with her hands.
I frowned and asked with concern, “What‘s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
I didn‘t say it, but I still regretted that I almost lost control under Leroy‘s influence.
Catherine turned her face to the other side and did not speak.
I could only slowly go back to where I was. Lying on my back, I could not help but look at Catherine on the other side.
It was not the first tthat Leroy lost control, but this was the first tit was so determined to let me mark a werewolf.
But why didn‘t Leroy say Catherine was my mate?
I looked at Catherine. She pulled a long face, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
She was afraid? what was she afraid of?
I didn‘t know what she was thinking. I looked at her as she frowned. Then I sat up. “I‘ll sleep with Noah.”
Catherine did not answer me. She simply curled up her body.
She seemed more fragile than I thought. I felt that she hated being touched. Was it because of what happened five years ago?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI quickly fell asleep after returning to my room. At half past six, I suddenly saw Hedwig standing in front of me. She was barefoot, her hair awry. She was in her pajamas, and she looked frightened.
She cried, and her shoulders twitched. “Daddy,mommy is gone. I had a dream. A monster grabbed her! And now she‘s really gone! I am so scared.”
I woke up and sat up immediately. Looking at Hedwig‘s pitiful face, I held her in my arms and asked in a low voice, “Mommy is gone? Where is she? Do you know?”
“She was grabbed by a monster!” Hedwig said with certainty.
Hedwig‘s innocent words madesmile. “Let‘s go. Daddy will take you to her.”
I pushed open the bedroom door and found the room empty, which was so strange. It was still early in the morning. Where could she be?
“Daddy, mominy is really gone.” Hedwig was so scared that her face turned pale.
I looked in the direction of the balcony. Then, I carried Hedwig and walked toward there.
“Mommy is here!” Hedwig exclaimed.
“Hedwig? Why are you up?” Catherine was drawing on the balcony, she turned back when she heard Hedwig,
Catherine‘s face was a bit pale because of her poor sleep. Sering that, I froze a little

“I can‘t sleep.” Catherine glanced atfor a second and then looked away.
“Is it because of me?” I thought of how I almost let Leroy get its way last night. I didn‘t know she would lose sleep over this.
Catherine sneered, “You think too highly of yourself. I won‘t lose sleep because of you.”
She refused to admit it.
Hedwig fell asleep again in Catherine‘s arms, but I was no longer sleepy. I sat down in a chair opposite Catherine.
Catherine glanced atand said lightly, “Go and get Hedwig a blanket.”
I went obediently without a word. When I put the blanket on Hedwig, I whispered, “Shall I put her to bed?”
“No. She wouldn‘t want to.” Catherine shook her head.
“You‘ll be tired holding her like this. Let me.” I looked at Catherine‘s slender body, worried that she would feel sore holding Hedwig like this.
“It‘s OK. I‘m used to it,” Catherine replied faintly.
I looked at her and felt a little distressed.
“You can go back to sleep. It‘s still early.” It sounded like Catherine was concerned about me. In fact, she was trying to driveaway.
I shook my head and sat back in the chair opposite her.
“Why are you looking at me?” Catherine subconsciously tidied up the hair that was hanging down beside her ear and asked in a slightly embarrassed tone.
I thought it was rude ofto stare at her. So, I deliberately turned my gaze to the lake beside me.
“Can you … not touchagain?” Catherine‘s voice sounded.
I turned my head and looked at her pale face.
Do you hate it when I touch you?” There was a hint of disappointment in my voice.

Catherine bit her lip as if she was making a decision. Finally, she looked up atand said, “No. But you lefta poychological scar. You hurtfive years ago.”

Catherine widened her eyes and looked atin disbelief.
“You don‘t have to. I won‘t stop you from dating other women,” Catherine said indifferently.
I looked at her and didn‘t speak.
Catherine once again reached out to brush her long hair on her chest. “I mean ... the relationship you and I have is based on the agreement we signed anyway. All of this is just an act. You can go and find a woman you like.”
“Catherine, is that really what you think?” I said with a hint of anger.
Catherine looked away and said, “Shouldn‘t I think so? You know better than anyone about our relationship. It‘s nothing but an act...”
“I can‘t answer that question. You can ask the kids at breakfast.” I was annoyed by her words. I stood up and walked to the balcony door.
Catherine was stunned.
