My Mate Has Two Wolves

Catherine's POV

Blake left. I stood on the balcony and looked down. I saw his car leaving and disappearing from my sight.

My heart seemed to have been taken away by him and followed him to a place far, far away.

I met the love of my life, but we could not be together. Was this a test given to me by the Moon Goddess, or a punishment?

I stayed in the hotel for the entire day.

I didn't want to go out. Although Blake had given me a card, I wasn't in the mood to buy anything.

It wasn't until I felt a little hungry that I decided to go downstairs for breakfast.

I knew that staying in the room would only make me miss Blake more.

In the hotel lobby, I lowered my head and quickly walked outside.

Suddenly, a man walked towards me. I tried to dodge him, but it was too late, and I bumped into him.

"Catherine, you are here!" I heard a familiar voice.

I raised my head.

"Leo? Why are you here?" I could not believe that Leo would appear in front of me on the second day after Blake left.

"I'm here to confirm something," Leo said.

I frowned. "What is it?"

"Are you and Blake back together or not?" Leo said in a very low voice. Obviously, he was a little nervous. "Where's Blake? He didn't come down with you, right?"

I chuckled. "How dare you show up here, since you are so afraid to see him?"

"I don't think he'll have a problem with me coming here to work," he said.

"What job do you have here?" Leo's presence made me a bit nervous.

Leo said unhappily, "I don't have to tell you, do I? Where is Blake? I need to talk to him."

"He went back last night." I had to tell the truth.

"What?" Leo said in disbelief. "Blake left you alone again? You're not quarreling again, aren't you?"

I glared at him and said, "What's done can't be undone. Are you really here to work?"

"Well then, since Blake is not here, I might as well tell you the truth. I don't know why I am here." Leo shrugged.

I did not know what to do, so I said, "Then you should leave."

Leo looked at me. He said gently, "Catherine, can you not drive me away? I am here to see you. Are you sure you're going to turn me away?"

"I'm not turning you away. Fine. Let's have breakfast together, and then you'll leave, OK?" We were in the lobby, and people were coming and going. It wasn't an ideal place for us to chat.

I was on my way out to grab a bite. I might as well find a quiet place so that I could talk to Leo.

Leo nodded. "Alright. I'm starving. I didn't eat anything before I came here. Where will you take me?"

"Let's go out and find a place to eat," I quickly said.

"I know a place. Come with me!" Leo nodded at me.

I followed Leo out the door.

After that, I realized that he drove here.

Leo sat in the driver's seat. I hesitated for a moment, and then I opened the passenger door and got in.

Leo took me on a long drive. He almost circled the city.

I was a little nervous. I pulled my seatbelt and frowned as I asked him, "Where are you taking me?"

Leo suddenly pulled over. He said, "To tell you the truth, I don't know. Why don't we just eat here?"

I felt Leo was in a bad mood, and I suddenly regretted going out with him.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright!" I just wanted to get things straight with Leo and get him out of here.

I picked a table by the window, and then I ordered steaks and some fruit salad.

Leo looked out the window. I didn't know what he was thinking.

"You shouldn't have come here to find me." I held the glass in my hands, and I was very nervous.

"I know," Leo picked up the wine and said. "In the past, I thought I would devote my life to acting. I would not be confused, and my future would be so bright and promising. However, now I know that it was just wild fantasies. The love I dreamt at that time was only utopian."

His words made me sad.

If the love, in reality, could be as perfect as what was written in the script, that would be great. No one would be sad anymore.

"It turns out that no matter how clear my goal is or how detailed my life plan is, they are useless when competing with a sudden crush," Leo said as he took a sip of his wine.

"Catherine, you should never have been in my life!" Leo suddenly glared at me with irritation. "I wouldn't be having these problems if you didn't show up. I wish I fell in love with another woman. In that way, I would have the love I want. I could give her a bright future, and I could work my ass off just to earn money for her. However, I fell in love with you. And now I can do nothing besides watch aside while you and Blake live happily."

"Then forget me. Forget me completely. Go and find a woman that belongs to you and love her wholeheartedly." I could feel Leo's pain. I could not comfort him, nor could I give him any hope. I could only be ruthless so that he could get out of this painful one-sided love.

"Fine! Starting now, I will go to the third girl that passes outside the window and tell her that I love her. I will ask for her number and forget about you," Leo said with a smile. 

"Can't you be serious? I don't believe that you have never met a nice girl. This is not a game or gamble." I found him ridiculous.

"You know what? Since I love you, other women can only be your substitutes." Leo looked at me.

I fell silent. I did not know what to say.

"Look! There is one already!" Leo pointed out the window.

"Leo, stop it." I tried to persuade him.

"I think it's great. In this way, you'll know at once what kind of woman I've found," said Leo.

"This is so absurd!" I was very anxious. I hated seeing Leo treat his feelings like it was nothing but a game.

"Catherine, didn't you want me to forget you? I'm doing it right now. Maybe you should put on makeup to make yourself look ugly when you see me in the future." Leo laughed, the sunlight shining on his face.

I was speechless.
