My Mate Has Two Wolves

Catherine's POV

The sun stung my eyes, and I slowly sat up from bed and found myself in an unfamiliar room.

The clothes scattered on the ground were the ones I wore at the mating ritual last night.

Yesterday was a mating ritual in Shadow Forest.

It was a tradition that werewolves living in New Jersey held a mating ritual in Shadow Forest every year.

Alpha and Luna of every pack would bring their unmated werewolves here, looking for their mates at the ritual.

Of course, if one didn't find one, the ritual next year was waiting for him.

Once the ritual started, I strolled around with a drink, with no desire to find my mate.

Well, you must wanna know why, because I was wolfless.

As I was strolling around with a glass of raspberry juice in my hand, I saw my stepmother Elena Anderson talking to my stepsister Gina Wyatt under a tree in the corner of the square.

Although I didn't have a wolf, my hearing was particularly excellent.

Thus, I could still hear what they were talking about at a distance.

Although Gina lowered her voice, I still heard it.

They are speaking ill of my mother.

Anger was boiling up inside me. How dare she!

So when they were done talking, I stopped Gina while she was alone, asking her to apologize to my mother.

Apparently, she didn't mind my warning and with a shitty face written with 'so what', so I spilled berry juice all over her, smiling to see her screaming and running away.

But my stepmother was angry and shouted in Luna's tone, "Catherine! Find your sister now!"

I couldn't disobey Luna's orders even if I were not willing, so I came for Gina.

"Gina! Where are you?" I was now at the periphery of Shadow Forest, some distance from the square. If I kept moving forward, I would go deep into the forest. I didn't think that Gina would lose her mind and run into the forest late at night.

I tried hard to ignore the laughter of the crowd to see if there were Gina's footsteps.

Suddenly, I smelled the scent of vanilla.

I smelled countless fragrances, but I swore that none of them were as attractive as this one.

I followed the scent and tried to approach the source. When I got close to a tree, a tall man sprang out from behind the tree.

Instantly, a strong scent of vanilla came at me. Though I couldn't see the guy's face in the dim light, I knew he wasn't one of my pack members.

"Who are you?" I asked carefully. His breathing was loud, and I had a feeling that he was staring at me in the dark. In such a case, I didn't dare to act rashly.

Suddenly, he pounced at me and had me in his arms. He was so strong that I couldn't break free.

Just as I attempted to shout for help, I abruptly had a strange feeling. My consciousness seemed to be occupied by another person. I couldn't think clearly and fainted in the end.

When I woke up again, I was in this strange room.

I pushed away the blanket and got out of bed, picking up my clothes. There was a man's suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair beside me. What the hell? I angrily threw it onto the bed, and this jerk actually left just like that?

'Is he my mate? Why can't I sense anything now?'

Despite the pain between my legs, I put on my clothes.

But then I found that the obsidian pendant given by my mother was missing.

After I looked for it everywhere in the room and became frustrated, I heard a knock on the door.

My stepmother and father rushed in as I opened the door.

"Alpha Wyatt, your daughter had been fooling around with a stranger for a whole night while the entire pack was looking for her. If others knew about it, our pack would be embarrassed!"

Elena put on a surprised look and shouted at my father. After that, Elena looked at me balefully.

Elena snorted and said, "Catherine, I asked you to look for Gina yesterday. But what did you do? You were actually having fun here."

"No, I wasn't!" I hurriedly explained.

"Look at the hickeys on your neck. Are you still trying to deceive your Alpha?"

I subconsciously covered my neck. The damn man had left many hickeys on my neck.

"Catherine, I'm so disappointed in you." Troy glanced at my neck and then looked at the messy room, shaking his head.

I came from the Black Moon Pack, and my father was the Alpha. My mother was Paisley Davis, the last Luna of the pack. Yet she died when I was three years old.

To be honest, I knew that Luna was indispensable to a wolf pack. However, my father married Elena only two months after my mother died. That was why I found it hard to believe my father was sad about the death of his mate.

Elena had been targeting me ever since I could remember. Obviously, not every pack was lucky enough to have a nice Luna.

"I didn't fool around." I calmed down and said calmly, "I met a werewolf on my way to find Gina, and then I fainted. I have no idea why I'm here. I think he is probably my mate."

"Your mate?" Elena sneered. "Impossible. You are lying. You won't have a mate."

"I know I don't have a wolf, but many werewolves like me have found their mates. Am I right?" I tried to be patient in front of my father, despite my dissatisfaction with Elena's attitude.

Although I was angry about what the man had done to me, I did have a strange feeling yesterday. Yet I didn't know if that was the feeling between mates.

Elena didn't answer my question but looked at my father instead.

"When you were born, a witch made a divination for you and said that you were a werewolf who would never have a mate," Troy said slowly as he looked at me with pity. This came as a shock to me.

"That's impossible! Impossible! How could I not have a mate?" I subconsciously said.

Now I was even more desperate than I had been when I found that I had no wolf at the age of eighteen.

My mind was in turmoil, and I couldn't think calmly at all. Werewolves all lived in groups, and any werewolf without a mate would be lonely for the rest of his life.

"Would your father lie to you?" Elena said mockingly. Then Elena looked at my father and said, "Darling, I know you are in a dilemma. But the higher-ups of the pack are outside, and we have to handle this properly."

"Catherine, I won't be partial to you even though you are my daughter." Troy took a deep breath. His face became calm, and there was solemnity and authority in his tone.

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.
