Cursed By Fate

“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.”

Alpha Ramirez spoke and silence filled the air. Louis staggered back in shock, while Luna Claire, on the other end gasped and held her breath without realizing it.

“You -you are Alpha Ramirez?” Louis asked again, finding the new revelation too hard to believe. He thought it was some kind of test but soon realized it was the truth when the Alpha didn’t reply him but only looked him in the eye as if trying to reaffirm his revelation through his loving gaze.

He looked at Louis with a huge admiration for him. Louis took after him both in terms of looks and body physiques. He had the air and aura of a true king unlike his disgraceful son, Carl. The king thought as he wheezed all of a sudden making Louis get up from the floor.

Alpha Ramirez eventually recovered from the incessant and disturbing wheezing and stood up to hug his new found son and new hope of the pack. He was so glad that he wished he could die that minute and rest in peace as he believed his pack was now in good hands.

Luna Claire stood up from where she sat, unable to digest the new revelations she had just heard about Alpha Ramirez and his estranged son whom had come not only as a great competitor to her own son Carl but as the future Alpha of the pack. She, amidst silent sobs walked out silently and gently while the duo looked at him as she left.

She was sure the Alpha would definitely crown him as the future Alpha anytime starting from now and she seriously wished her son wouldn’t be around to experience the pain she was already experiencing.

She had heard stories of how Alpha Ramirez had several mistresses before she married him and was even more shocked that none of them had bore any child for him. She was extremely shocked and asked questions but was assured that the Alpha would stop his bad habits when she married him.

And somehow, he really stopped those habits when they got married due to his profound love for her. His mistresses all stopped coming around and for over two decades of their marriage none of them had come around so what was going on now?

Why would anyone decide that this was the perfect time to come and ruin things for her and her son. Why would anyone want to spoil her son’s chances of being the future Alpha.

Why would any illegal son suddenly arrive now that the future of the pack is shaky and the Alpha is in dire need and desperation for a new and capable son?

Just why?

And how many more children would pop out of nowhere? She asked herself inwardly as she stepped out of the room, grief overwhelming her entire being.

Alpha Ramirez and his new found son Louis kept looking at her as she walked out and Louis, his eyes filled with a thousand and one questions, decided to ask his father who the young lady was.

“May I ask who the young damsel that just walked out in sorrow is?” He asked, his ears itchy to hear more about the beautiful lady.

Alpha Ramirez coughed nervously. His Luna was truly pretty and looked more like a teenager than anything. He had gotten married to her when she was seventeen years old. He was in his thirties then. He smiled as he remembered how the young Luna would refuse to look him in the eye when she was brought to him.

“Fa-father. I can literally count the stars in your eyes right now just because of the question I asked. If I may guess, your highness. The young mistress is your Luna?” Louis asked, more like a question than a statement.

“That’s my son” Alpha Ramirez thought inwardly as he smiled in affirmation of Louis’ words. He was totally convinced that his pack would be in good hands with Louis, a smart and intelligent son of his.

“She’s beautiful, Father. Does she have kids yet?” Louis asked again and Alpha Ramirez could only wish he would stop talking about his wife like that.

“Oh well. She had a son of about your age and believe me, I’ve hurt her more than words can describe and I doubt if I would live any longer to apologize or make things right. I need you to take perfect care of her when I’m gone. This is my only wish, Louis” Alpha Ramirez spoke, his eyes literally glittering with unshed tears.

“Yes Father, your wish is my command” he replied with a bow.

“Ring the little bell at the end of the room Louis. I have an important announcement for everyone right now” Alpha Ramirez spoke and wheezed heavily, mucus filled with blood dripping down his nose.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Louis quickly went to ring the bell and shortly after, the room was filled with elders and high chiefs of the pack. Even the high priest of the pack came around. Several members of the pack came around too. They all stood outside, awaiting and wondering what was going on.

Carl, whom had gone to let out his grief in the woods also heard the bell and came rushing, wondering what was going on in his home. The bell was supposed to be for an urgent announcement.

His heart skipped as he ran home to behold a huge crowd standing in front of his home as expected. He snuggled through the crowd while trying hard to cover up his face but some people noticed him still and taunted him again. Calling him names.

Ignoring them, Louis went inside, changed his outfit and wore a mask to cover up his identity as the hurtful comments and teasings weren’t stopping anytime soon.
