Chapter 5 No.5

Catherine's POV

"I don't care who you are. I just want to take my thing back." I looked at Gina resolutely.

The necklace belonged to my mother and was the only thing she had left me. To me, it was priceless.

Abruptly, I noticed that Gina's eyes wandered from me to the place behind me.

I turned around in confusion and saw some guys standing not far away, but I didn't know them.

As I turned to look at Gina, she suddenly leaned closer to me and sneered, "I know where your necklace is, but I just don't want to give it back to you. Nothing will happen if you don't come here. But now you reminded me of those stupid things you've done. Do you want to take the necklace back? No way. Tomorrow I'll cut it up and throw it into the furnace to melt it!"

"How dare you!" I felt a chill all over my body and clenched my fists in anger.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Humph, let me tell you. Daddy told me a secret last time he got drunk. He said that you aren't his child, but just a bastard. You came to the world just because your damn mother had fooled around with others," Gina said in a disdainful tone.

"Shut up! You bitch!" Gina's insult to my mother and me deprived me of my reason.

I was completely enraged by her.

"What? Are you mad? You're a rogue now, and you don't even have a wolf. Do you think you have the ability to attack me?"

I raised my hand and slapped Gina in the face.

Gina groaned in pain and covered her cheek, playing the victim. With a pitiful look, she let out a sneer.

Gina said, "Catherine, is this all you got? Well, I understand. You're wolf-less and father-less, you can't even shift. You can only live on your knees."

"Gina..." I stared fiercely at Gina. If I had a knife in my hand, I would cut her into pieces now.

Eva seemed to feel my anger and let out a howl in my mind.

"Catherine, leave her to me." Eva was anxious. Her feelings affected me, and I felt my body was gradually controlled by Eva.

I felt like I was losing my mind and was about to shift.

However, my arm was suddenly grasped by a big hand.

I turned around in horror and saw a man with a grim look.

"You..." I was too astonished to finish my words when I saw the man's face clearly.

The man was truly handsome, but what attracted me wasn't his good look. It's that I felt a little familiar with his face.

Gina walked over with a pathetic look and squeezed out some tears. She gazed at me and said, "Catherine, why did you hit me? What did I do? Why did you do this to me?"

I couldn't understand why Gina was like a different person now.

I glanced at Gina and found her eyes red. Gina shed tears again and seemed to be afraid of me.

My attention had been on that man. I was trying to recall where I had seen him.

However, the man coldly curled his lips and seemed to be disgusted with my reaction.

He snorted, "Why did you hit her?"

His icy and emotionless voice interrupted my train of thought. And I instantly understood that he was on Gina's side.

When I thought of how Gina had just insulted me and threatened to destroy my mother's necklace, anger was boiling up inside me again.

"It has nothing to do with you. Let go of me!" I felt uncomfortable with my arm in the man's hand. Thus, I struggled to break free from his grip.

On cue, Gina pretended to be kind and said in a gentle tone, "Blake, she is my half-sister. She didn't hit me on purpose. It's just because she was banished from the pack by our father, and she wanted me to ask him to take her in again. However, I told her it was hard because she didn't have a wolf yet. Then she got angry and hit me."

I was furious when Gina was making up stories.

I wondered if Gina had become better at lying after she became a star.

"So you're a rogue without a wolf? How did you have the nerve to ask for a place in a wolf pack?" The man called Blake snorted.

I was even angrier at the sight of his contemptuous sneer.

The man believed Gina without even asking me.

"Let go of me. I've said that it's none of your business." I twisted my arm.

"If you dare to hit her again, I'll chop off your hands!" Blake stonily said to me.

Hearing this, I felt I was on the verge of total derangement.

Since the man wouldn't loosen his grip, I decided to teach him a lesson. I gritted my teeth and bit the back of his hand.

Although I was in my human form, my strength and bite force had been greatly enhanced.

"Damn it!" Blake glanced at the back of his hand, on which there was a deep bite mark.

He immediately let go of me and roared at me, "You're crazy! Stay away from me!"

When he lost his temper, the atmosphere was thick with tension.

I noticed that Gina and the two men next to Blake all looked frightened and shrank their shoulders with their heads down.

Although my arm hurt, I didn't show weakness but stared up at Blake.

Then I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"You, leave Shadow Forest now, or I have to do something." Blake pointed at me and ordered me to leave.

Gina still looked sad and pitiful. But when our eyes met, I saw the complacency in her eyes.

I hadn't gotten my mother's necklace back yet, so I couldn't leave just like this. This was exactly what Gina wanted, but I wouldn't let things happen as she wanted.

With this thought, I tried to move around Blake and Gina, rushing over to the square to find my father.

However, I was stopped by the man next to Blake just after I took a step forward.

The next second, he pushed me out.

"Let go of me. I can walk by myself. Don't touch me, you bastard!"

I was pissed off because Gina was difficult and she now even had a helper.

Moreover, this man was obviously a tough one.

Did that mean there was no way for me to get my mother's necklace back?

I was pushed out of the square by Blake's subordinate. Moreover, he pushed me hard when I was unprepared, so I fell to the ground.

Those werewolves, who had been watching us, gathered together and laughed loudly at me.

I left the mating gathering in such a pathetic state. Standing in the distance, I looked at the crowded square and bit my lips.

I swore that I would come again.
