Chapter 306
Chapter 306 Blake's POV
I sat in the office with a cup of coffee in my hand.
I turned the chair to the glass window. I looked through the bright glass window into the distance.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Noah and Hedwig should have taken a bath and were ready to go to bed. They had school tomorrow.
And Catherine must be sitting by their beds, telling bedtime stories with a storybook in her hands. Or perhaps she was humming lullabies.
Noah and Hedwig were getting more independent after Catherine's identity was exposed.
In the past, Hedwig always felt insecure and would ask Catherine to hold her to sleep every night.
Yet now, Noah and Hedwig were used to sleeping on their own beds. I had to admit that kids grow up so fast.
However, I felt distressed every time I saw them curling into balls in their beds.
I never thought that I would become a father so soon. I didn't even think I'd find my mate. I thought that I would just marry some random female werewolf and make her my Luna.
I took a sip of coffee. Suddenly, I missed Catherine so much. It had only been a day since we parted, yet I had already found it hard to control myself. I wanted to see her so badly.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting my thoughts on Catherine.
"Come in!" I said in a deep voice.
Dowen walked in with a stack of files in his arms. He said anxiously, "King Blake, I've got the phone records of those guys for the last four years. You are right. They made suspicious phone calls every month. They must be reporting something to someone or some
organization, and they must have told them about important issues of the company and the pack."
I put down the coffee cup and said coldly, "I've sent someone to check how Richard has been doing in werewolf prison. Emily would visit him every few months. I believe he sent Emily to seduce me. Though he was my father's brother, he would do anything to be the Lycan King even at the cost of his daughter. He has been lying low for five years. I think he's been preparing for this operation."
"King Blake, they are hiding in the dark. The crisis we face this time is more dangerous than before. Now they're going after the company and the pack at the same time. What should we
do?" Dowen's voice was full of concern.
"If he wants to take back control of the company, the only thing he has to do is snap up the company's shares. But I think he also knows that the odds don't favor him in such a way. And I've seen Emerson's will. He divided his shares into three, one for Patricia, and the other two for Noah and Hedwig." I paused. Then I continued, "Maybe Richard wants to control the pack. But as a Beta, he can't give commands to other Alphas. I don't know what he's going to do. I'm worried about Catherine and the kids."
I was not afraid of threats before, because I had no weaknesses, and therefore no one could threaten me. But not anymore. My greatest weakness was being exposed to everyone.
Dowen nodded. He said angrily, "Richard has made a mistake. He has let Emerson down for a long time."
"What I'm worried about is what he's going to do. We have lost clients, and our stock price dropped. But it's still under control. My biggest fear is that something might happen to the pack. So, from today on, we need to be very careful, and not give them any chances," I instructed Dowen.
Richard was a ruthless werewolf. I wouldn't underestimate him.
"King Blake, there are a lot of things to take care of when it comes to both the company and the pack. I don't know what he's going to do next," Dowen said worriedly.
"Whatever his moves will be, we should get ready for it. Besides, he is not the only one who knows how to make the first move and attack. If he insists on going against me, he will suffer," I said coldly.
"King Blake, I hope you won't go easy on him again!" Dowen said in a low voice.
"You know me well. I was too soft-hearted before. I could have let him stay in the werewolf prison until he died, but Patricia pleaded with me, and I gave in. He was only imprisoned for five years. Who knows? He is still coveting the power that doesn't belong to him." I knew what Dowen meant. I couldn't help but mock myself.
"King Blake, we only want you to lead the pack," Dowen said with a smile.
I tapped my finger on the desk. "Show me the files."
Dowen quickly put the details of the investigation in front of me.
I sneered, "I paid a lot of money to raise a bunch of traitors. After you get the concrete proof, sue them in werewolf court immediately."
Dowen said angrily, "They won't get away. Do they think they could spend the rest of their lives in peace after betraying you? How naive!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"I'll look at the files now. Come back to me in an hour." I looked through the files.
"Alright." Dowen turned around and left.
After I handled my work, it was late. On the way back, I listened to Dowen's report. I needed
to be more cautious and prepared because I couldn't lose.
As soon as I returned to the villa, someone called me. I picked up the phone as I walked inside. Dowen followed me.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of cheerful footsteps.
When I looked up, I saw a woman running down the stairs.
Catherine was in her white nightdress. Her long hair was loose, and her eyes flashed with
joy.
I turned to glare at Dwayne. Others weren't supposed to see Catherine in a nightdress!
"King Blake, see you tomorrow!" Dowen left quickly.
I quickly ended the call and walked to the stairs hastily.
"Why are you still up? It's late." I was very worried about Catherine. She hadn't fully
recovered yet.
Deep down, I knew that the reason why she wasn't asleep was that she missed me. I felt very
warm.
"I took a nap in the afternoon. I'm not sleepy now!" Catherine was in front of me. She immediately looked guilty, like she was a child who made a mistake. However, her eyes were
filled with deep affection.
I couldn't help but curl my lips. I took a few steps up and placed my lips close to her ear. I said in a low voice, "Are you waiting for me?"
Catherine's ears instantly turned red. She bit her lip and muttered, "I didn't say that. I just
couldn't sleep. I was thirsty, so I wanted to go downstairs and have some water..."
"Cathy, you're a bad liar." Catherine didn't want to admit it. I cut it. Catherine, couldn't you just be honest and tell me that you were waiting for me?
