Chapter 3

• ******Five years later******
• Catherine's POV
• "Miss, stop peeking at us, or I'll get angry." A cute boy said as he looked at the female werewolf who was leaning against a tree nearby to have a rest.
• The boy was my son, Noah Wyatt. His serious look amused those rogues around us who were resting.
• "Noah, relax." I gently stroked my son's hair and held my daughter closer to me.
• Five years ago, I became an rogue after being kicked out of my pack by my father, the Alpha. Later, I found myself pregnant.
• Fortunately, a friend of my mother, Mabel Erich, lent me a hand. However, I couldn't join her pack because of my father.
• With Mabel's care, I gave birth to my twins, Noah and Hedwig.
• "Mommy, are you tired? You can take a nap, and I will watch you with Noah." Hedwig looked at me with her big eyes.
• Noah and Hedwig were very cute.
• Noah was older than Hedwig. Young as he was, he was more mature than those of his age. He had a clever face with wise bright eyes.
• As for Hedwig, she looked lovely with fair skin.
• Because of them, we could easily get help when we met other rogues.
• This time, I teamed up with some rogues to participate in the mating gathering in Shadow Forest.
• Not all rogues were born lone wolves. Some of them were forced to become rogues because their packs had been wiped out.
• They longed to return to the packs and live a stable life.
• There would be a lot of wolves at the mating gathering every year. Thus, many rogues came here to see if they could meet their mates or persuade an Alpha to take them in.
• For the past five years, I had been living far away from New Jersey, away from my father's pack. I had so many bad memories there.
• This time, I came back just to look for the missing necklace given by my mother.
• In addition, Noah and Hedwig were old enough for school now.
• Although I had a job in Pennsylvania, I still hoped that Noah and Hedwig could study in a werewolf school. After all, they were both werewolves.
• However, no werewolf schools would accept rogues' children. For this reason, I had to join a wolf pack. Although I was a single rogue with two children, I believed that some packs would take us in because they wanted more cubs.
• Half an hour later, I decided the break was over and we set off on our journey again.
• "Mommy, can't we rest a little longer?" Hedwig took my hand and asked in a cute voice.
• "Hedwig, this forest doesn't belong to any pack. It is not safe, so we need to leave as soon as possible," I kissed my daughter on the cheek and said.
• "Mommy, you're so pitiful. You took care of us all night and didn't sleep at all." Hedwig had a concerned look on her chubby face.
• "Hedwig, since you know what Mommy did for us, don't make Mommy angry again. Get it?" Noah stroked Hedwig's head and said like an adult.
• "Sure! I'll be good!" A sweet smile spread across Hedwig's face.
• I felt both happy and guilty as Noah and Hedwig were so thoughtful.
• We walked forward for another half an hour and finally left the strange forest. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of us, I couldn't help but give an exclamation in my heart.
• 'It's been five years, and I'm finally back.'
• I looked down at the two children and felt as if I had a dream.
• "Let's go to Mabel's place now." I stood at the roadside with a suitcase in my hand. Soon, I saw a car coming over.
• The car pulled over in front of us. A middle-aged man got out of the car and greeted me with a smile. The man said, "Are you Catherine? I am Carl. Mabel asked me to pick you up. You won't be able to pass the pack's inspection without my car."
• I nodded with a smile and said to Carl, "Yes, I am Catherine. Thank you!"
• Carl gave a hearty laugh and put my luggage in the car.
• At the sight of Noah and Hedwig, Carl immediately showed his affection for them. "You two must be Noah and Hedwig! You look so adorable."
• Hearing Carl's praise, I couldn't help but look at Noah and Hedwig.
• Indeed, Noah and Hedwig had good genes. They were like two peas in a pod.
• Noah was handsome, and Hedwig was sweet. Moreover, they had one thing in common: both their features were perfect.
• I couldn't help but touch my face. I always felt that the kids didn't take after me.
• It seemed that they inherited their genes mostly from their father.
• At the thought of their father, I broke out in a cold sweat.
• That man had become my nightmare.
• "Mommy, what are you thinking about?" The two children were so lively and energetic that they kept talking even in the car.
• Fortunately, Carl liked children. He was listening to Hedwig talk about what she had seen in Pennsylvania.
• I breathed a sigh of relief and looked out of the window.
• Suddenly, I saw a familiar face on the billboards along the road.
• It was Gina.
• During the five years, Gina seemed to have good luck and had become a famous star in New Jersey.
• It was incredible because Gina wasn't outstanding even among the werewolves.
• I looked at the description of Gina on the billboard: pure and sweet.
• What the fuck?
• When I was in the Black Moon Pack, I had heard that Gina had seduced many mateless werewolves.
• How could Gina be pure and sweet?
• This reminded me of my father.
• Life was unfair.
• My parents were Alpha and Luna, but I became a rogue and couldn't even give my children a stable life.
• I couldn't help but hold my kids more tightly.
• Noah and Hedwig seemed to be a little tired. They snuggled up against my arms and looked drowsy.
• In a few minutes, Hedwig drifted into sleep. I listened to her even breathing and looked at Noah. Though Noah was tired too, he prevented himself from falling asleep. He was truly a good boy.
• I knew he was just worried that I would be worn out.
• "Mommy, the building is so high!" Noah suddenly pointed at a tall building through the window and shouted in curiosity.
• I looked over and indeed saw a skyscraper.
• Located in Sayreville, Shadow Forest was just a town in New Jersey, although it was not far from New York.
• Thus, such a tall building was rare here.
• "Oh, that's the branch of the Chavez Group in Sayreville. Tell you a secret, the Chavez Group belongs to the new Lycan King, and the headquarters is said to be in New York."
• Carl, who was driving, glanced out of the window and explained to us.
• "If only I could go in and take a look." Noah stared at the building with an innocent look and reluctantly took his eyes off it.
• I laughed, "The royal family members work there, so that's not a place for visitors."
• Noah stared at me and pursed his lips, looking a little upset.
