Chapter 2

Natalie

   I had no one, my mother was dead as was my grandfather. I was on he floor at the border of Moon Shadow Pack crying, hoping my father would reconsider and come back for me. 

   All of a sudden I heard the sound of an approaching car and I quickly stood up. I recognised that car, it belonged to Yara, did my father send her to come get me? 

   She came out of the car and made her way over to me.  “I'm sorry that this is happening to you Natalie, I'm here to help I have an apartment you can stay in.” She tells me but I'm wary of her help. 

    “Why would you help me?” I ask her and she smirks. 

     “Trust me, it isn't just for your benefit, you're the only one who knew our mother and I would like to know more about her. So, do we have a deal?” She asks me. 

     “Yes we do.” I tell her, it's not like I had any other choice.

Yara and I looked exactly alike, there wasn't any difference, it was like looking in a mirror, I am very grateful to have my twin sister by my side when I was down and out.

I was very lucky that she was with me all the time during my pregnancy.

Nine Months Later 

The sound of crying babies spread throughout the apartment as I gave birth to my two babies with the help of my sister Yara. 

I was so weak, I had lost a lot of blood but all I wanted was to hold my children. Yara had finished cleaning them up and had them swaddled up in a blanket, she held both children in her arms. 

“Yara, please give them to me, I want to hold them.” I pleaded with my sister. 

   “You're very funny Natalie.” Yara smirks at me, still not giving me my children. 

   “I have never met anyone as gullible as you are, did you really think that I was here to help?” She asks as she starts laughing. 

   Immediately my heart sinks to my stomach, I try to move to get my children from her but I'm still in so much pain. 

   “These children are mine and you will never see them again.” She tells me.

“No, Yara, please don't take my children away from me.” I pleaded but I was too weak to do anything. My wolf was growling inside me, but at this moment, even she couldn’t help me.

    “Why Natalie? Why did you have to come back after our mother died? You're just a rogue, you're nothing and you had no place in our pack. 

    I mean that day that you came to the house, crying under the rain, I actually wished that you would die of hypothermia or something, but you didn't. But that's the thing with you rogues, you're like cock roaches, very hard to kill. 

    So you came into our pack to win our fathers favour and take him away from me didn't you? But you see I couldn't let that happen, I am the apple of our fathers eyes and I will do everything in my power to keep it that way.” She tells me as I see evil in her eyes. 

    “It was me who drugged you that night, I planned everything and you fell right into my trap. I mean the look on your face when we walked into that hotel room, it took everything in me not to laugh. I never expected you to get pregnant but that doesn't change anything, I'm going to kill you and your evil spawns.” She declares. 

I could only watch as Yara poured gasoline around the room and then set the room on fire and she ran away with my children. 

I watched as she ran out of the house as the babies, my little boy and my little girl cried and there was nothing that I could do about it.  

As the fire spread, I used all my strength to jump out of the window. What Yara didn’t know was, I was still carrying another two babies in my belly...

  I was dizzy, the stress of escaping from the fire and pushing out four babies was finally catching up to me. 

    I tried my best to keep my eyes open and hold my babies to my chest. 

    “Miss, are you ok?” Someone approached me and I immediately shifted back because I didn't know if he was working with Yara. 

   “I promise I'm just trying to help you, you're bleeding, you need to see a doctor.” He tells me and I know that he's right. 

    “No hospitals.” I tell him, because if I go to a  hospital, Yara will know that I'm alive. 

     “I understand, there's somewhere I can take you.” He tells me. 

   The helpful stranger took me and the boys to a homeless rogue shelter, luckily they had a doctor on call that was able to check the boys out and give them their shots. I stayed there for a week and everyone was kind even helped me with the boys but I knew that I couldn't stay there forever, that couldn't be my life. 

  I couldn't stay there as long as Yara was still here, I couldn't afford running into her one day. 

  I heard from some of the people at the shelter that Boston was a good place for rogue wolves and that rogues weren't hunted down by the packs there and so that seemed to me like the best place to go. 

    So I packed my bags and with the last of my savings I bought a one way bus ticket to Boston.

   I had no idea what I was going to do there but I had a good feeling about it. 

‘I swear I will return and I will take back everything that you've stolen from me……”
