Cursed By Fate

He stood at the end of the room while wondering what was going on and soon after, the Alpha, his father came out with a young lad and several other high members of the pack.

His mother, Luna Claire, her eyes reddened and all… Stood at a corner. Her entire being covered in shame and sorrow. It seemed she had aged twice just in the short time he left and he continued wondering what was going on.

The Alpha, almost staggering came forward and raised his hands. This brought a perfect silence amongst the gathered crowd whom had been humming and murmuring since they gathered.

Carl’s heart shook in trepidation as he eagerly awaited his Father’s special announcement.

“I found a new hope for us all. For the future of our pack” Alpha Ramirez started and Carl shifted uncomfortably from where he stood.

After convincing himself that everyone was listening to him, he continued.

“As we all know that my son, Carl refused to shift few days ago due to reasons unknown and because of that, he could not be crowned as the future Alpha of our pack. I’m happy to announce to you all that everything has changed for the best now” Alpha Ramirez announced then wheezed. More blood oozed out from his nose which he quickly wiped off but this did not go unnoticed by curious members of the pack gathered as they all murmured amongst each other.

Carl almost peed on himself when he heard this. His heart wrenched with a great amount of sorrow as he had already suspected and guessed what was going to happen to him. He looked at the young lad whom had just arrived closely and only then was he able to connect the dots. His physiques, hair color and Aura had explained all he needed to know.

The young man had looked familiar when he first saw him and he had almost thought they’ve met somewhere but this was not so. The young man had the physical characteristics of Alpha Ramirez and that was why he had looked familiar at first glance.

“Before I got married to my Luna, he continued as he looked at Luna Claire with a loving gaze. I used to have a lot of well I would say affairs with several women and although I stopped this habit after meeting my lovely Luna, Louis, this young lad is one of my end products from a woman whom I had cherished so much while we were together.

He arrived today and personal tests have proven him to be my biological son. However, we all know that no matter the amount of test we do to him, none of them would matter if he did not shift” Alpha Ramirez spoke and several murmurs filled the air. Some negative, others, positive.

“He’s shifting tonight when the moon is ascending it’s throne!” He said and coughed again. This time, he had to be taken back inside the chambers as he wouldn’t stop coughing.

The crowd dispersed and several murmurs filled the air. Carl stood at the end, dumbstruck by everything he just heard.

This couldn’t be! His Father wouldn’t dare to do this to him! He is the only legal son of Alpha Ramirez and him not being able to shift was not his fault at all! All these thoughts clouded and emanated Carl’s mind as he stood still at the end, his nose mask still on. A lost, young lad who feels unloved for reasons that are beyond his comprehension and powers. His whole world just crashed in the blink of an eye.

Carl retired into the woods where he had come out earlier and without looking back at his poor mom whom had noticed him already. Her eyes filled with pain and regret, regrets of being a powerless Luna, regrets of not being able to protect her only son, regrets of not being able to take her son’s pain away.

It was nighttime in the pack city, birds and bats hovered around the sky happily as if rejoicing on the pack’s new dawn, the dawn of a new terror. Crickets played their parts in the music so well as they kept on creaking in perfect synchronisation and harmony to the songs of the birds and bats.

Wonders of nature!

Multitudes of members of the pack came around. They knew tonight was going to change a lot of things for them. It was going to be their destiny and the beginning of a new dawn.

In the midst of all the murmurings, mutterings and excited voices stood an hopeless masked young lad, whom had been living in shadows ever since he disgraced and disappointed his father in the full public glare.

Soon after, the long awaited future Alpha emerged from the Alpha’s chambers in an exquisitely furnished attire. His supposed Father, Alpha Ramirez tailing beside him and some members of the high chiefs and priest tailing behind.

The crowd gasped the moment he came out and they couldn’t help but agree that he was indeed the son of their Alpha as his Aura was second to none, matching perfectly with his father’s. He had the regal of a very powerful king and they couldn’t help but want him crowned immediately.

Alpha Ramirez smiled after seeing and hearing the positive comments about his son as he proudly addressed his people.

“So as we all know! Louis is going to transform tonight and then crowned as the new Alpha afterwards!” He said and the crowd cheered on excitedly. Carl’s heart squeezed in pain as he looked at his own biological father whom he had grown up to love, cherish and adore treat him and his mother this way.

Soon after, the cock crowed and the moon emerged from its hiding, shining brighter as it ascended it’s position.

Cracks of bones were heard which just showed that their new Alpha was truly transforming and shortly afterwards, a loud, powerful and reverberating growl surged from the transformed wolf’s mouth. Shock overwhelmed everyone’s face as they looked at the snow white wolf before them with electric blue beautiful eyes…
