My Mate Has Two Wolves
Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Blake's POV

Instead of driving to my company, I drove along the mountain road and arrived at the villa at the top ofthe mountain.

My grandparents lived here.

I got out of the car and rushed upstairs.

In the corridor, I saw Patricia sitting alone on the sofa on the balcony in a daze. She had a napkin in herhand and was wiping her tears in silence.

I somehow felt depressed. My footsteps were heavy as I walked slowly toward Patricia.

When I reached the door of the balcony, Patricia shouted sternly, "Stop there!"

Her eyes were filled with tears. Then, I knew how serious the matter was. I stopped and stood quietly infront of her.

"You knew Catherine's background a long time ago. Didn't you?" Patricia stared at me sharply, trying toget the truth from me.

I kept silent and slightly lowered my head. I dared not look into Patricia's eyes, much less at my father'sphoto.

In the photo, my father had a gentle smile on his face. I felt bad about myself. I didn't deserve hisforgiveness.

"Blake, I've been proud of you my whole life. You said that you would never lie to me, and I believe you.Now, shouldn't you tell me the truth?" The tears suddenly fell from Patricia's eyes.

I stared at the ground. Then I bit my lips and spoke in a low voice, "Yes, Patricia. I already knew abouther background."

"Shut up!" Patricia was instantly furious. She scolded, "How can you be with her when you know thatshe is Halsey's daughter? And you're still preparing for your wedding? This is ridiculous. Your mother isnow Halsey's wife, and you're going to marry his daughter. That's a mess. How do you want yourchildren to deal with it in the future? What a shame!"

Patricia's words made perfect sense. I deserved to be scolded. I knew we were facing an abyss, yet Istill wanted to jump with Catherine. I didn't have time to think about the consequences, and I dared notto.

As the truth came to light, I might lose my only hope.

"Sorry, Patricia!" I apologized in a low voice.

Patricia cried out, "Don't say that to me. Say it to your father. Blake, how could you do this to him? I'mso disappointed in you. Do you know that?"

"But I love her." My voice was filled with sadness. "She is my mate, the mate that Moon Goddessarranged for me."

Patricia snorted, "Didn't you swear that you would never meet with people from the Fox family? Whatabout that oath to the Moon Goddess?"

My breathing paused, and I felt a dull pain in my chest.

"Patricia..."

"Stop talking. Over Emerson and my dead bodies can you marry Catherine," Patricia made it clear in aflash that she was dead set against my marriage to Catherine.

I trembled, looked up, and begged, "Patricia, can you just think of Catherine as not a member of theFox family? After all, she has never been part of that family. Just consider her parents dead, OK? Don'tdrive her away from me. Don't keep me away from the kids!"

Patricia said angrily, "Are you trying to cross me and Emerson? I told you already. There's no way! Youshouldn't have anything to do with her from now on."

I was in a trance, feeling utterly helpless.

I knew Patricia. She wouldn't make a decision recklessly. Since she said so, she wouldn't change hermind. Was it over between me and Catherine?

"Patricia, will you let me tell her about it?" After a long silence, I opened my mouth.

Patricia snorted, "If you can make it clear to her, I'll stay out of it. Otherwise, I'll go talk to her."

"I will do it soon..."

"You'll do it today. I can't stand it for one more day. It makes me sick to think that Catherine is from theFox family. You need to be done with her as soon as possible." Patricia was furious.

"Patricia, have you forgotten that Hedwig and Noah also belong to the Fox family? Are you going to..."

"The kids stay in the royal pack. I don't care whose blood runs in their veins. They are children of theroyal pack no matter what. If Catherine is wise enough, she will let go of the kids."

Patricia already saw Catherine as an enemy.

However, I disagreed with Patricia. I tried to persuade her, "Patricia, I hope you'll reconsider. The kidsmean everything to Catherine. She can't live without them."

"You make it sound like I've wronged her. What you gave her was enough to make up for her loss.Anyway, I don't care. The kids belong to us. They are members of the royal pack, and they will staywith us, even if we must bring this to the royal court." Patricia was determined.

I knew that Patricia had already bonded with the children, and I could not change her mind. So, I had togive up for now.

"I'll go talk to her about this now. Patricia, I hope you know that Catherine has done nothing wrong.Please do not blame her. I will not marry her, but, at least, show her some respect." I pleaded in a lowvoice.

Patricia was a little stunned. Then she sneered coldly, "That's true. Catherine is innocent. I will not lether take the blame. I just want her to go away. Don't let me see her again. I'll feel sick looking at her."

Patricia looked haggard. I knew that she hated Abigail and Halsey very much, and I understood howshe felt. So, I had to tell Catherine about everything.

I left the villa at the mountaintop and went straight to the company. I called Catherine and asked her tocome to the office. I told her that I had something important to tell her.
