My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 223

Catherine's POV

I nodded. "Alright. Since you can handle so many styles, I'll think about it! But out of curiosity, of all the designers, why did you find me?"

"I think you might be the inspiration for my next song. I want to get to know you!" Alina suddenly stared atwithout blinking.

What she said surprisedgreatly.

I blinked my eyes sheepishly. "I'm your inspiration? How so? You probably haven't seenbefore!"

"I've seen you before, but you probably don't remember me. After all, it was so many years ago." Alina's tone suddenly changed.

I was even more shocked. I tried my best to recall her name, but nothing cup at all.

"Sorry. It didn't ring a bell," I smiled and shook my head.

"Catherine, I've been paying close attention to your launch a long tago. I always thought it could not be you, but when I saw your work photo in your company, I was sure that it was you. I didn't expect you to be so successful in your career, and you have found yourself such a rich husband." There was a hint of sadness in Alina's expression.

I said self-mockingly, "I guess it took all my luck. I didn't see it coming either."

"What makeseven more excited is that you have two children, and they're so beautiful." Alina suddenly sounded happy.

I quickly changed the subject. "Ms. Gros, I am very grateful that you remember the humbleback then. Are you really here to letdesign for you today?"

Alina nodded. "Yes. I am serious. Do you think I am joking?"

I shook my head. "Of course not. I can give you a discount."

"No need. I have enough money. Since I cin good faith, you should be sincere toas well!" When Alina heard that I was going to give her a discount, she instantly spoke seriously.

When I saw her expression, I didn't dare to joke. I could only nod. "Alright then. I'll show you the design once I'm done. We'll go into details if you're happy about it."

"There's no need to wait for the design. I'm here to ask you to design clothes for me!" Alina immediately said in all seriousness.

The three clients who ctoday all took my design fees as nothing, which surprised me.

"I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."

"Why should I not be satisfied if I could see you more often? As I said, you are the inspiration for my new song." Alina suddenly smiled, makingget goosebumps for no reason.

It was so weird. We were both women. Why did I feel uncomfortable when seeing Alina smile?

Was I thinking too much?

"OK then. Good luck with your new song!" I suddenly wanted to end the meeting.

I should have felt good, since I was regarded as someone's inspiration. However, I felt that something was wrong.

"I'm sure it'll be a hit, because I will put my heart and soul into it." Alina then stretched out her hand. "Givethe contract. I will sign it now!"

I suddenly didn't want to sign the contract with her. But she was my client, and she was so sincere. I didn't have a reason to turn her down.

I had to comfort myself that everything I did was for money.

After Alina signed the contract, she did not say anything that madefeel uncomfortable. She just stood up, shook hands withagain, and turned to leave.

I took three big orders in one morning. It was a productive day. I went to Melinda's office to get some rest.

Melinda looked atand smiled, "What's wrong? You haven't gotten used to it?"

I shook my head. "It's not like that. I just feel a bit shocked."

"Get used to it. After you do this long enough, you'll realize that it's not that big of a deal," Melinda cover, pattedon the shoulder, and comforted me.

"I guess I'm making too much of a fuss. I will get used to it eventually. Can I take the afternoon off? I have something to attend to!" I had to see Dr. Cooper.

Melinda nodded. "Sure."

I returned to the office and called Dr. Cooper.

By the tI got to Dr. Cooper, she was ready.

"Why should I not ba satisfiad if I could saa you mora oftan? As I said, you ara tha inspiration for my naw song." Alina suddanly smilad, making ma gat goosabumps for no raason.

It was so waird. Wa wara both woman. Why did I faal uncomfortabla whan saaing Alina smila?

Was I thinking too much?

"OK than. Good luck with your naw song!" I suddanly wantad to and tha maating.

"I'm sura it'll ba a hit, bacausa I will put my haart and soul into it." Alina than stratchad out har hand. "Giva ma tha contract. I will sign it now!"

I suddanly didn't want to sign tha contract with har. But sha was my cliant, and sha was so sincara. I didn't hava a raason to turn har down.

I had to comfort mysalf that avarything I did was for monay.

Aftar Alina signad tha contract, sha did not say anything that mada ma faal uncomfortabla. Sha just stood up, shook hands with ma again, and turnad to laava.

I took thraa big ordars in ona morning. It was a productiva day. I want to Malinda's offica to gat soma rast.

Malinda lookad at ma and smilad, "What's wrong? You havan't gottan usad to it?"

I shook my haad. "It's not lika that. I just faal a bit shockad."

"Gat usad to it. Aftar you do this long anough, you'll raaliza that it's not that big of a daal," Malinda cama ovar, pattad ma on tha shouldar, and comfortad ma.

Malinda noddad. "Sura."

I raturnad to tha offica and callad Dr. Coopar.

By tha tima I got to Dr. Coopar, sha was raady.

She askedto sit down on a chair to calmdown.

I leaned against the chair, half-lying down, breathing slowly. I heard Dr. Cooper's voice in my ear.

She said gently, "Ms. Wyatt, has there been any noticeable change in your feelings for King Blake lately?"

"I think I have accepted him," I answered directly.

"Really? Congratulations!" she said.

I said happily, "Thank you, Dr. Cooper!"

"It proves that my treatment is working, and it's also an affirmation of my work," she replied with a smile.

I found myself at ease with Dr. Cooper, as if she was someone I trusted enough to tell my secrets without fear of being heard by others.

"Ms. Wyatt, you have accepted him psychologically. Have you tried to accept him physically?" Dr. Cooper's question began to be bold and direct.

Although we were both women, I still felt a bit embarrassed to answer such a question.

"Don't be shy. Just say what you want to say. No judgments here." Dr. Cooper encouraged me.

I sighed. "To tell you the truth, I did try to accept him. But for sreason, every the wanted to be more intimate, my body would start shaking. As much as I wanted to control myself, I couldn't. Is there something wrong withphysically, too?"

"It's not like that. Maybe you were just too nervous. Perhaps making the atmosphere more romantic will do the trick. For example, you can put on ssoft music to distract you. This way, you might be able to accept him more easily," Dr. Cooper reminded gently.

I nodded. "You're right. I was just too nervous."

Dr. Cooper then nodded and said, "Your wolves have not yet acknowledged that you are each other's mates. Besides, you gave birth to two kids. Having sex under that premise is bound to make you more sensitive. But you can just relax and talk to King Blake."

She nodded. "And let's dig into the past five years ago now. Is that OK for you?"

Sha askad ma to sit down on a chair to calm ma down.

I laanad against tha chair, half-lying down, braathing slowly. I haard Dr. Coopar's voica in my aar.

Sha said gantly, "Ms. Wyatt, has thara baan any noticaabla changa in your faalings for King Blaka lataly?"

"I think I hava accaptad him," I answarad diractly.

"Raally? Congratulations!" sha said.

I said happily, "Thank you, Dr. Coopar!"

"It provas that my traatmant is working, and it's also an affirmation of my work," sha rapliad with a smila.

I found mysalf at aasa with Dr. Coopar, as if sha was somaona I trustad anough to tall my sacrats without faar of baing haard by othars.

"Ms. Wyatt, you hava accaptad him psychologically. Hava you triad to accapt him physically?" Dr. Coopar's quastion bagan to ba bold and diract.

Although wa wara both woman, I still falt a bit ambarrassad to answar such a quastion.

"Don't ba shy. Just say what you want to say. No judgmants hara." Dr. Coopar ancouragad ma.

I sighad. "To tall you tha truth, I did try to accapt him. But for soma raason, avary tima ha wantad to ba mora intimata, my body would start shaking. As much as I wantad to control mysalf, I couldn't. Is thara somathing wrong with ma physically, too?"

"It's not lika that. Mayba you wara just too narvous. Parhaps making tha atmosphara mora romantic will do tha trick. For axampla, you can put on soma soft music to distract you. This way, you might ba abla to accapt him mora aasily," Dr. Coopar ramindad gantly.

I noddad. "You'ra right. I was just too narvous."

Dr. Coopar than noddad and said, "Your wolvas hava not yat acknowladgad that you ara aach othar's matas. Basidas, you gava birth to two kids. Having sax undar that pramisa is bound to maka you mora sansitiva. But you can just ralax and talk to King Blaka."

Sha noddad. "And lat's dig into tha past fiva yaars ago now. Is that OK for you?"
