Cursed By Fate

Carl stood at the edge of the pack’s territory , thinking of everything that had happened to him . He looked back at the dens, the memories flooding his mind. He saw his mother, Luna Claire, trapped in the Alpha’s den, and his heart ached. He saw the only person who stood by him till the end , his friend Dwayne .

He lost his father, his father is in the hands of his step brother who had made her his wife , just the thought of it alone was hurting him so badly and his only friend who stood by him but later left him halfway.

Carl went back to the cabin where he has been staying for a while now, packed a few of his things in a backpack. He decided to leave the pack and go somewhere else, he needed to figure himself out and save his mother by the time he came back .

” It may not be easy and It may take time but I swear to my father’s grave I am coming back to defeat Alpha Louis and save my mother” Carl said to himself while packing his bag . Though he didn’t know where he was going, he believed in himself.

After he was done packing his bags , he headed out of the cabin . There was nobody to tell he was going somewhere.

With a heavy sigh, Carl turned away from the only home he had ever known. He took one last look at the pack’s emblem. He felt a pang of shame and disappointment in himself knowing he was abandoning his pack in their time of need.

As he walked away, the silence was deafening. No one tried to stop him, no one called out his name. He was alone, and the weight of his failure settled upon him like a shroud.

Carl disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind the pack, his mother and his past. The only sound was the soft rustling of leaves beneath his feet, a reminder that he was walking away from everything he had ever known.

Carl trudged through the scorching desert, his stomach almost empty, his skin parched and cracked. He had been walking for days, with no end in sight. The blistering sun beat down on him, relentless in its fury.

Suddenly, a sandstorm swept in, reducing visibility to near zero. Carl stumbled through the raging tempest, his eyes burning from the sand. He shielded his face with his arm, but the sand seeped through, choking him.

Just when he thought he couldn’t go on, a fierce gust knocked him off balance. He fell hard onto the rocky ground, scraping his hands and knees. As he struggled to stand, a bolt of lightning illuminated the dark sky, striking a nearby rock with a deafening crack.

Carl knew he had to find shelter. He spotted a cave in the distance and stumbled towards it, his body screaming in protest. He collapsed inside, exhausted, as the storm raged on outside.

As the hours passed, Carl’s strength began to return. He tended to his wounds, his eyes adjusting to the darkness. He realized that the cave was a natural spring, the cool water reviving him.

As he rested, Carl knew that this was just one of many challenges he would face on his journey. But he was determined to push on, to prove himself, and to one day reclaim his rightful place as a leader among his people. The storm outside had been fierce, but Carl’s resolve was fiercer.

Carl continued his journey of no destination after he regained a little bit of strength .

After days of traveling, Carl caught sight of a wolf pack in the distance. He went to the pack , hoping to settle there . They were a majestic sight, their gray and black fur glistening in the sunlight. Carl knew he had to be cautious.

One of them caught sight of him and he was held captive . They were supposed to kill him but something was different about him . ” Why don’t we just take him to the Alpha’s place? I don’t think he is just any human .

Carl looked around immediately as they entered the pack , though it is not as big as the one he left but with the look of things, they seem to be friendly.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As he approached, the pack’s alpha, a powerful wolf with piercing yellow eyes, emerged from the group. Carl stood still, unsure what to expect, but the alpha simply sniffed him and let out a soft growl. To his surprise, the alpha told his guards to prepare a room for Carl because he looks tired and hungry .

” I should have been dead by now , why are they being nice to me ?” Carl thought to himself.

The pack welcomed Carl with a mix of curiosity and wariness like he was one of them who just came back from a journey.

” Pls why are they being nice to me ?” Carl finally got the courage to ask the guard who was taking him to the room .

” There is something special about you. If not , you would have been dead by now because our Alpha is not the kind that will allow any human to stay amidst us, ” the guard answered.

Carl nodded his head still trying to figure out why he is being treated nicely .

” I will wait outside , we should head to the Alpha’s place as soon as you are done ” the guard said .

Carl quickly freshens up and follows the guard to the Alpha’s place .

” Welcome back ” The Alpha welcomed him with a smile.” Can you tell us your story ?” The Alpha asked . His subordinates were also seated .

” We know you might be wondering why we are being so nice to you . That’s the way we behave in our pack to other people from other packs especially when they are not our enemy” The Alpha’s beta said .

Carl was happy after listening to the reason why they were being nice to him but will they still accept him after listening to his story ?
