The next morning, Ladybug and I were at the Louvre because of theft last night. The night guards said they found no trace of the thief but they did catch him on the footage but the burglar took out the security cameras.

"It doesn't make any sense. Who would try to rob something? Cat Noir?" Ladybug looked at me to think I did this.

"Don't look at me. I swear, I'm not a cat burglar anymore. But I have a bit of experience when it comes to robbery and hacking in security footage" I said as I typed in the keyboards to get a clear look at the thief. The security guard was very impressed with what I'm doing. I'm full of surprises.

"It's not a man, it's a woman. Very young, probably 13 or 14 years old" I typed again to see where did she last took out the security camera. The American history section.

"It's a bracelet she took from the exhibit. The one in its place is made of plastic too" The guard said.

"I better see this. I know a thing about replacing real ones with fake ones" I said and I made my way out the door to head into the American section downstairs while milady and the night guard followed.

Once there I inspected the fake bracelet, "No fingerprints, great"

I sniffed it to gather a scent in my head but so far, nothing. This bracelet is fake all right. This replica has a wolf symbol on it and for whatever reason, this thief has stolen a wolf miraculous.

"It's a fake all right," I said.

"How can you tell?" Ladybug asked.

"The original bracelet is made of a different material and I'm suspecting why the thief wants it for," I said.

"And that would be?" The guard asked.

"It's a new villain or criminal on the loose if she's wearing it," I said.

"So how do we capture her?" The guard asked.

I sighed in distress that I'm gonna regret saying because I used to fight Volpina a lot when I was a criminal but whoever this thief is, she's probably a new criminal or villain, so the only way to capture her is for me to be a cat burglar again. I really don't wanna do this but it's the only way. I may have fought bad guys as a superhero with milady but this thief is wearing the wolf miraculous and it's not gonna be easy to fight her because we don't know what this wolf miraculous can do.

"I have to go burglar again to get near her. It's the only way" I answered.

"Kitty are you nuts?!" Ladybug gasps.

"I know and I hate it but someone has to know this thief on the inside, milady. I swear, I'm not stealing anymore again. This time, I'm stealing the bracelet from her" I said, crossing my arms.

"Okay, but be careful when you find her" Ladybug said.

"Don't be mad at me, milady. I tell you what, we'll go to the police station and tell them that I'm an undercover thief. Think of it as an undercover agent in movies" I held her hands.

"Got it kitty" Ladybug nodded.

At the police station, I told Officer Roger about myself going back to being a cat burglar but this time as an undercover thief so I can learn this new wolf criminal from the inside.

"Hmmm sounds crazy but I won't arrest you since it's your plan to capture her," Roger said.

"I can't capture her yet. I gotta learn from her. This is gonna be like rival thieves. Trust me, I know my experience as a criminal. They steal to survive or just for addiction" I said, putting my arm around milady's waist.

"Yes, while he had a secret hideout," Ladybug said.

"Yup, I bet this thief is trying to get my attention but she has no idea this cat has nine lives. Anyways, let the mayor know, Officer Roger." I said to him.

"Yes, Cat Noir" Officer Roger dials the mayor.

"I hope this plan will work, Cat Noir," Ladybug said.

"I hope so too, milady. I don't like it one bit but I dealt with enough criminals in my nine lives. Now let's go to my kitty lair" I said, referring to my mansion.

"Okay" Ladybug and I went back to the mansion.

Once back we were in my room discussing about the new villainess. My cats meowed and purred on us. Marinette seems a bit stressed if I relapse but I assured her that I won't. I told her the whole story of why I became a criminal from the beginning.

"Just don't get into the role too much," Marinette said.

"You think I play the badass charming kitty cat one too many times?" I chuckled and she climbed on top of me.

"Of course" Marinette smirked.

My hands traveled to her waist, "When I was a criminal, I hunt disgusting rats. Cats don't hunt wolves but I love a good predator fight"

"Sounds like you wanna turn the tables on the wolf" Marinette joked.

"Maybe. Cats are sacred to Bastet. They can scare crocodiles, bears, foxes, and dogs with a good scratch" I smirked and lowered my hands to her legs.

"Ohhh…. now you're so eager?" Marinette saw where my hand was at.

"I always catch my prey, puuuurrrrincess. You like bad boys?" I smirked seductively.

"Well you're my bad kitty," Marinette said.

"Pucker up, bugaboo" I rolled over to be on top and kissed her on the lips.

She kissed me back holding me around my neck. Pretty soon it became a passionate make-out love. I really love the girl of my dreams that brought me into the light.

Later that night, I pole vaulted to the Akuma Nightclub to get answers from a sly fox. There are times that Lila does make a lie but sometimes she does a bit of help with information of criminal activity and such for a year ever since she found I'm Adrien underneath my mask.

I made my way to the bar table and saw she's drinking non-alcohol White Russian. I took a seat and fiddle my claws on the glass table to get her attention.

"Hello there Cat Noir" She saw me.

"Still nocturnal as usual?" I asked.

"Yup. And so are you" Volpina replied.

The bartender gave me a warm glass of milk, "Thanks. I need information, Lila. No lies, no excuses, no manipulation. Now" I demanded her or she gets a painful scratch from my claws.

"Information of what, kitty cat?" She asked with a smirk.

"About this mysterious robber that snatched the bracelet at the Louvre last night," I said.

"Oh, that one. What do you know?" She asked.

"The robber wasn't a he, it was a she," I said.

"Ah, so it's a she? You fight a lot of bad boys for a year. Well, this thief is new in Paris. From what I know, she probably heard a lot about you and decided to take your place as a new criminal. I suppose that a superhero like you won't be easy to capture this new criminal the same way Ladybug couldn't capture you" Volpina said while sipping her drink.

"Well, it's worth a shot trying. If this bracelet is important, I'll be taking it back" I said.

"Sounds like you're a thief again" Volpina grinned.

"Temporary thief, Lila. Whoever this thief is, she's no match for me." I said and took a sip of warm milk.

"This thief is a woman, Adrien. Female cat burglars are extremely agile than men. You may be charming but women are extremely dangerous you know" Volpina chuckled.

"Like female lions are faster than males" I replied.

"If you wanna find her, go to your favorite jewelry store you used to rob. She might grab your attention there" Volpina said.

"And how do I know you're not lying this time? You know I hunt liars" I growled lowly and unsheathed my claws just to make sure she's telling the truth.

"Seeing how a criminal steals valuable items, there's a chance she goes for jewelry next," Volpina said.

She's got a point there, "All right. I'm convinced." I took a huge gulp of milk and finished it, "I'm still the cat's meow" I said as I left the nightclub.

I came to the jewelry store and walked everywhere to find the thief. She's probably already a wolf-themed criminal by now. Wolves hunt in packs but I guess this thief is a lone wolf. Let's see how deadly her bite is than my claws.

"Come out big bad wolf" I called out.

"Aw, are you playing red riding hood? Too bad. I got business to do, kitty cat. It's a full moon tonight" I heard her voice.

"Show yourself!" I demanded.

"Behind you, pussy cat," She said.

"Huh? So there you are, Wolfwoman" I turned around and saw her. She was dark grey like a timber wolf and her hair is dark brown with white highlights like a wolf tail.

"Call me Luna Wolf," Luna Wolf said.

"Luna Wolf? As in the female alpha wolf?" I asked.

"Exactly. And your nine lives are outnumbered!" Luna Wolf replied.

I got in my fighting cat pose, "Cats can scare dogs with a scratch, Luna Wolf. And I never lose my nine lives." I hissed loudly like a cat.

"We shall see!" Luna Wolf got in her own pose.

But suddenly, she took out a bow and used an arrow to shoot at me. I wasn't expecting that! I swiftly dodged the arrow and is embedded into the pillar, "I wasn't expecting that!"

"Wolves are hunters, kitty cat!" Luna Wolf reloads again.

I ran as she fires again and backflipped when an arrow barely hits me, "Almost!"

I ran on all fours and slide underneath her, grabbing her ankles to make her fall and I flipped so that I can whack her weapon out of the way, pinning her arms down, "Now can we talk like human beings?" I asked.

"This feels human to me," She said coldly.

"Time to find out who you are" I reached for her bracelet.

But she headbutts my face, "Agh!"

"Sorry but we all wear a mask to keep secrets!" She kicked me off.

I recovered quickly and hopped on her shoulders to make her fall and pin her down again, "Very true, wild wolf. If we keep fighting like this, it would be eternal"

"Hmm….jealous that I'm stealing your spotlight as a new criminal?" Luna Wolf smirked.

"There's no place for number two!" I said.

"Heh, I heard stories about you, cat burglar." She chuckled.

"My stories are legendary. Now then, why are you trying to take my place? Wolves are not thieves" I asked.

"But they hunt in packs you know," She said.

"You didn't answer my question" I growled lowly.

"To prove I'm the superior thief of Paris you feline idiot!" She tried to punch me.

But I caught her fist, "Only one animal is a thief. I may be retired from my criminal activity but no one is taking my place, wolf. Now be a good puppy and play nice" I smirked, feeling the urge to scratch her face if she tries to punch me again.

"Or what?" Luna Wolf asked.

"Say goodbye to your pretty face!" I unsheathed my claws.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I thought you're nice to ladies!" Luna Wolf got startled at my claws.

"I can be a bad boy at times" I smirked at her.

The wolf girl sighed in defeat and decided to listen, "We are both lone wolves, kitty. You said you're not a criminal. Are you suggesting that you wanna team up with me?"

"I never said about teaming up, Luna Wolf," I said.

Suddenly, a group of thugs with guns burst in the store, "Oh, great. It seems we are being hunted this time" Luna Wolf pushed me off and we both got in our fighting stances.

"This is no hunting season, Luna Wolf," I said, leaning my back against hers.

"No kidding!" Luna Wolf took her bow up and loads an arrow.

"No weapons! We are not killing them!" I held her weapon.

Luna Wolf nods and we both charge at the thugs and punched two down. I sweep kicked another down and Luna Wolf grabbed onto one and threw him over.

"Watch out!" I extended my baton at the bad guy about to stab Luna Wolf with a dagger.

She elbow strike the guy in the gut and took the knife away, throwing it.

"Impressive" I saw her fight two other thugs.

"I'm a bad girl you know," Luna Wolf said.

"Or in this case a dangerous wolf" I replied and struck one thug in the groin with my staff.

"ARGH!" The thug screamed.

"Sweet dreams!" I punched him and he was unconscious, "Now, let's talk"

"Sorry, prince charming. The full moon is still out and it's another whole month for another. See ya next time" Luna Wolf did a blow kiss and jumped out the broken window.

"You remind me of someone" I crossed my arms that she got away but at least I learned a little bit about her. She does look familiar.
