Chapter 2

• Catherine's POV
• "Father... Alpha Wyatt..." I looked at his strange expression and suddenly had a bad feeling.
• "Catherine, you're banished now." Troy said seriously, "You no longer belong to the Black Moon Pack."
• "I am banished?" For a moment, I was lost for words. After learning that I would never have a mate in my life, I received another piece of bad news. I was banished by my father, by the Alpha of my pack.
• This meant that I couldn't live in the Black Moon Pack anymore. Without the protection of the werewolves, I would become a rogue.
• My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at my father pleadingly. Elena standing beside my father with a smirk on her face.
• "Alright, get out of here now. Don't present a pathetic sight. It's not us who asked you to fool around with others here," Elena spoke without scruple after getting the answer she wanted.
• That was who Elena truly was. She had been trying to drive me away for so many years.
• I was filled with sadness as tears welled up in my eyes. My father and Elena ignored my pleading and left without even looking back.
• I was brought back to the Black Moon Pack by Beta, but he didn't let me go back to my house.
• I was blocked at the edge of the territory.
• After a while, Beta returned and left my luggage at my feet.
• "I don't think you realize your current identity." Beta disdainfully looked at me lying on the ground and said, "From now on, you're not the princess but a rogue."
• Afterward, Eden left me there and went away with the guards.
• I lay on the ground covered with fallen leaves and cried for a long time, with sorrow going deep into my heart.
• Since Elena became the new Luna, she had always abused me when my father was away, and my father never believed me.
• From then on, I was like a stranger at home.
• I tried my best to keep a low profile and live cautiously. What I wanted was just to find my mate and then leave home.
• However, my hopes were dashed now.
• I wondered, "What should I do...?"
• Perhaps because I was too tired from crying, I felt that my consciousness was occupied by someone else again, just as last night. Vaguely, I seemed to hear a voice, which was faint as if it was wrapped in plastic cloth.
• I sat up in horror and looked around, but I found nothing except for the rustling of the leaves.
• Suddenly, the voice seemed to pierce through the plastic cloth. In the next second, a low and gentle female voice sounded in my mind.
• "Hello, Catherine! I am your wolf."
• "Hello, Catherine! I am your wolf."
• The greeting was echoing in my mind, but I couldn't get it at first.
• When I realized that I had heard the voice for real, I subconsciously blurted out, "W-What?"
• Before I could get an answer, a sharp pain ran through my body and I couldn't say anything.
• I felt my body being pulled by power from all directions, with my bones expanding and growing rapidly. I was so scared and felt as if I was going to be torn apart.
• I wondered, 'Am I going to die?'
• "Relax, Catherine." The gentle female voice sounded again in my ear. "Relax, I'm helping you with your first shift."
• Panting heavily, I gathered my thoughts and did what she had said. As I gradually released control of my body, there came the cracking sound of my bones. Afterward, I immediately stood up.
• I looked down at the wolf paws on the ground and closed my eyes, feeling that my sense of smell and hearing was sharper. In excitement, I started running fast in the forest.
• I leaped nimbly from bush to bush, feeling the cool breeze brushing my fur. It was so wonderful that the irritation in my heart gradually dissipated.
• I stopped in front of a lake and stared down at my reflection in the water. Then I saw my wolf, a beautiful and strong white wolf.
• My wolf was actually a white wolf! I was deeply attracted by my reflection in the lake.
• In my impression, my father, the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, was a wolf with black fur. As for my mother, I never saw her wolf.
• But as I can remember, most werewolves in my pack became black or brown wolves after they shifted.
• The white wolf symbolized the moon in legends.
• "Hi! Are you there?" I tried to call to my wolf in my mind.
• "Yes, always. You can call me Eva." She replied.
• I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard her voice. "Great, Eva. Although I don't know why you came so late... I mean, I thought I would never be able to shift in my entire life. Anyway, I am not that afraid now."
• "I didn't mean to be late." Eva's voice was a little low. "It's because I have been trapped in another place before."
• "Where are you trapped?" I was puzzled.
• "You will know later." Obviously, Eva didn't want to talk more about it.
• Eva paused and continued, "You'd better go back to get your luggage as soon as possible and find a place to stay before dark. I can sense that there is more than one rogue in this forest."
• "Don't worry. We're one of them now." I wanted to shrug, but I could only shake my fur as I was a wolf now.
• "Believe me, you are no match for them," Eva said slowly, "Because you are pregnant."
• "What did you say?" I almost let out a howl in surprise.
• I paused for a moment and asked, "Are you serious? I know what happened to me yesterday, but it has only been less than a day. How is it possible?"
• "I know it is unbelievable. But Catherine, trust me. You are carrying babies. They are gifts from the Moon Goddess," Eva whispered.
• I still had questions, but a rustling sound came to my sharp ears from a few kilometers away. It seemed that someone was approaching.
• "Don't hesitate, Catherine. It's getting dark. We have to leave as soon as possible," Eva urged.
