Cursed By Fate

Elder Arthur met Alpha Ramirez’s gaze with a solemn expression. He nodded, understanding the weight of the Alpha Ramirez’s request. “Alpha Ramirez, I have been making discreet inquiries since he delivered the letter.

Relief washed over the Alpha Ramirez upon hearing that. “Good. Find him, bring him to me, Elder Arthur. I need to speak with him personally.

Elder Arthur nodded in acknowledgment of Alpha Ramirez’s instructions. “Understood, Alpha Ramirez. I will proceed with caution and retrieve him by any means possible.”

As Elder Arthur departed to carry out the task assigned to him, Carl’ s mind raced with anticipation and anxiety. The burning question of the letter’s content continued to plague his thoughts. Whispering to himself ‘what vital information had been conveyed in this letter?’

The next day, Luna, filled with strangeness and an insatiable curiosity, made her way to Alpha Ramirez’s chambers. She found him deep in thought, his brow dint with a blend of determination and concern. Sensing her presence, he looked up, meeting her gaze with a mixture of love and sadness in his eyes.

Luna’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she clasped her hands together, her voice trembling. “My love, I read the letter, and its words… They spoke of something profound, something that has shaken you to the core. I need to understand. Please, explain to me its meaning.”

“Luna,” he said softly, his voice laden with emotion. “I know you have questions, and I understand your sadness. But please trust me when I say that there are matters at play that I cannot divulge just yet.”

Alpha Ramirez’s heart ached at the sight of Luna’s sadness, but he remained resolute. “Luna, my beloved mate, I wish I could offer you immediate answers. But it is essential that we tread carefully, for the fate of our pack rests in the parity. I promise you, once the time is right, I will reveal everything. Please, have faith in me.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Just as their conversation hung heavy in the air, the chamber door swung open, revealing Elder Arthur and several members of the pack. They stood at attention, their eyes filled with a fuse of inquisitiveness and respect.

Elder Arthur, with a determined expression, stepped forward, leading a werewolf into the room. The werewolf’s eyes darted nervously, clearly unsure of his surroundings and the purpose of his presence.

“Alpha Ramirez,” Elder Arthur spoke with a tone of reverence. “We have brought the werewolf, as you commanded, his name is Louis.”

Alpha Ramirez’s gaze shifted from the werewolf to Luna, his expression a mix of resolution and tenacity. “Thank you Elder Arthur, I must admit you did a great job here. Please, leave us for a moment. Luna and I need a moment alone with our guest.”

Elder Arthur nodded, signaling for the other pack members to withdraw. They left the room immediately and closed the chamber door, leaving Luna, Alpha Ramirez, and Louis.

Luna’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked from Alpha Ramirez to the werewolf before her. “Is he the werewolf that delivered the letter we read?”

Alpha Ramirez’s voice carried a sense of both trepidation and determination. “Yes, he is the werewolf who delivered the letter to me. He holds the key to unlocking the truth you seek.”

Louis without uttering any word, nervously bowed respectfully before Luna and Alpha Ramirez.

“Hey Louis,” Alpha Ramirez called out, “what do you know about me?”

Louis hesitated for a moment, sensing the weight of his expectations. With a deep breath, he looked at Alpha Ramirez and Luna, resolve flickering in his eyes. “I….. I did as my mother asked, delivering the letter without reading its contents. That was her last wish and I swore to keep it.”

Suddenly, Alpha Ramirez began to wheeze and cough incessantly, while Luna and Alpha Ramirez exchanged a knowing glance. When the wheezes settled the Alpha Ramirez’s gaze turned somber as he prepared to ask Louis about his mother’s fate. With caution and empathy, he posed the question, his voice filled with a gentle yet underlying obstinacy.

“Louis,” Alpha Ramirez began, his tone laden with compassion, “can you tell me… How did your mother, Seraphina, meet her end?”

Louis’ expression shifted, a flicker of pain and sadness crossing his face. He took a deep breath, steadying himself before sharing the details.

“My mother… She passed away not long ago,” Louis responded, his voice filled with a tinge of sorrow.

“I was away from home when it happened, and I received the news upon my return. It was a devastating loss, and I have been grappling with grief ever since. My mother, Seraphina, encountered a dangerous and unknown strain of werewolf disease shortly after giving birth to me,” Louis began, his voice tinged with a mixture of sorrow and concern.

“The disease mutated within her body, attacking her immune system and weakening her natural regenerative abilities. Over time, her condition deteriorated rapidly, leaving her teetering on the edge of life itself.”

Alpha Ramirez’s heart sank as he listened, his concern for Louis deepening. He understood the weight of losing a loved one and the emotional toll it could take.

“I am truly sorry for your loss, Louis,” Alpha Ramirez said, his voice laced with empathy.

Alpha Ramirez looked at Louis, his gaze filled with curiosity and empathy. “Louis, I apologize for prying into your personal life, but I can’t help but wonder about your father. Can you tell me about him?”

Louis’ expression turned solemn as he remembered the stories his mother had shared with him. “My father, Alpha Ramirez, passed away shortly after my first birthday. I never had the chance to truly know him, but my mother spoke of him with great love and reverence.”

Alpha Ramirez nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. “What was he like, Louis? What kind of werewolf was he?”

A faint smile appeared on Louis’ lips as he delved into his memories. “From what my mother told me, my father was a kind-hearted and noble werewolf. He was fiercely loyal to our pack and dedicated his life to protecting and serving our kind. Despite his strong and formidable presence, he had a gentle soul and treated everyone with respect.”

Alpha Ramirez listened intently, his interest piqued. “Do you have any memories of him, Louis?

Louis’ gaze turned distant as he searched his mind for any fleeting recollections. “I have vague flashes, like fragments of a dream. I remember his warm laughter and the feeling of safety whenever he held me in his arms. My mother often told me stories about him, painting a picture of a loving and courageous werewolf who would stop at nothing to ensure the well-being of our pack.”

A hint of sadness crept into Louis’ voice as he continued, “I wish I had more memories of him. But my mother made sure I knew his legacy and the values he stood for. She instilled in me a sense of pride for my father and his unwavering dedication to our pack.”

Alpha Ramirez’s eyes gleamed with respect as he listened to Louis’ heartfelt words. “Your father’s legacy lives on through you, Louis. His spirit and values are carried within you, and I have no doubt that you will honor his memory with your own actions.”

Louis nodded, with determination in his eyes. “Thank you, Alpha Ramirez. I will strive to make my father proud and uphold the ideals he cherished.

As Alpha Ramirez and Louis shared their poignant exchange, Luna sat quietly on the side of the room, her eyes fixed on the two figures before her. She observed the intensity in Alpha Ramirez’s gaze, and the profound words that passed between them.

Alpha Ramirez motioned for Louis to step closer, his eyes studying him intently. His stare was unwavering, filled with a mixture of curiosity, hope, and a touch of apprehension.

“I can see her spirit in you, Louis,” Alpha Ramirez said, his voice filled with sadness. “Listen Louis, everything your mother told you about your father was a lie. I… I had no knowledge of your existence. But fate has brought us together, my son.”
