Chapter 3
- 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.
- 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.
- They've all gone back, leaving me stranded beyond the border line. I've officially become a homeless Rogue.
- 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?"
- "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."
- W...What?
