Cursed By Fate

Alpha Louis sneered at Carl’s bravery, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “You think you can defeat me, little pup?” he said, his voice dripping with condescension.

” Did you just call me a little pup ?” Carl asked in dismay .

” You’re not even compared to a pup , because you can’t even shift ” Alpha Louis mocked Carl.

Carl’s body was burning with anger . As he was about to rush Louis Without warning, Alpha Louis raised his hand and flicked his finger against Carl’s forehead. Carl’s eyes widened as a sudden surge of energy knocked him off his feet. He fell hard onto the ground, dazed and disoriented.

Just by the flick of Louis finger , Carl was already unconscious, what if Louis pouches Carl ? He might be dead by now.

The pack members gasped in shock, their eyes fixed on Carl’s prone form. Alpha Louis chuckled, his eyes gleaming with triumph.

“You shouldn’t have challenged me, Carl,” he said, his voice cold and menacing. “I may not have killed you, but you’re no match for me. Remember that.”

Carl struggled to his feet, his head spinning and his body aching. He glared at Alpha Louis, his anger and frustration boiling over. But he knew he was no match for the powerful Alpha, not yet.

Was he foolish in the first place when thinking of going to fight someone who has shifted .

With a snarl, Carl turned and stormed off, his eyes blazing with determination. Alpha Louis watched him go, a satisfied smirk on his face. The pack members parted to let Carl through, their eyes filled with a mix of pity and pain for Carl.

As Carl disappeared into the crowd, Alpha Louis turned to the pack members and raised his voice. “Let this be a lesson to all of you. I am the Alpha, and no one challenges me without consequences.”

The word Louis pronounced sent a shiver down the people’s spine . Have they made the choice by supporting Louis? Even if they didn’t support him , there was nothing they could do about it because they needed an Alpha urgently.

The pack members nodded, their eyes downcast, but a few of them couldn’t help but glance at Carl’s retreating figure with a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, the young man would return, stronger and more powerful, to challenge Alpha Louis once again.

Carl stormed out of the Alpha’s chamber, his heart racing with anger and humiliation. He couldn’t believe he had been so easily defeated. He walked for what felt like hours, his mind replaying the scene over and over again.

Carl was seriously injured that he couldn’t walk well , he wished he could just go to his mother’s place to explain everything that had happened to her and how he was planning on facing Louis again but he couldn’t because his mother was going to be worried and scared.

So he decided to head to his cabin which was on the outskirts of the pack . That cabin is where Carl calls the resetting center.

The cabin was his father’s before he inherited it from his father .

Whenever he is pissed off , probably his mother scolded him or he was going through one thing or the other, the cabin was where he used to go not known to him that there are more bigger problems than to go to the cabin to think about all the minor challenges he had been facing before.

Finally, he arrived at his cabin on the outskirts of the pack’s territory. He slammed the door shut behind him and collapsed onto his bed, his head in his hands.

He was in so much pain but there was nobody to treat him internally and externally.

Just as he was starting to calm down, he heard a knock at the door. “Carl, it’s me, Dwayne,” a voice called out.

Carl groaned, not wanting to talk to anyone, but the knock persisted. “Carl, please open up. I need to talk to you.”

With a sigh, Carl got up and opened the door to find Dwayne, a pack member and one of his closest and only friend who was still standing by him at the moment, standing on his porch.

“What do you want, Dwayne?” Carl asked gruffly.”And how did you get to know I was here because I never told anyone I was here”.

“I saw what happened with Alpha Louis,” Dwayne said, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?”

Carl shrugged, feeling a mix of emotions. “I’m fine. Just humiliated.”

Dwayne looked at Carl all round ” Just humiliated?” He asked .” You’re injured and bleeding!”

” I’ll take care of it Dwayne, it’s nothing”.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Dwayne nodded sympathetically. “You shouldn’t be. You stood up to him, Carl. That takes a lot of courage.”

Carl snorted. “Courage? I got knocked down with just a flick of his finger.”

Dwayne smiled. “That’s not the point. The point is you challenged him, and that takes guts. Don’t give up, Carl. You have potentials.”

Carl looked at Dwayne, his words sinking in. Maybe he was right. Maybe he did have potentials. A spark of determination ignited within him.

“Thanks, Dwayne. I won’t give up.”

Dwayne smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “I know you won’t. You’re a fighter Carl. I remember how strong and energetic you were when we were growing up and how you are always talking about how promising you want your future to be so don’t give up yet, even when it’s hard ”

” Thank you for the word of encouragement Dwayne, I need some time to think and cool my brain before going to see my mom , so you can excuse me now ” Carl asked politely

” Sure , I will, Dwayne replied.” Make sure you are fine before going to see your mother , you know she will be dead worried if she sees you in this present state of yours”. Dwayne added.

With renewed determination, Carl nodded and watched Dwayne leave, feeling a sense of purpose he hadn’t felt in a long time. He was going to train harder, get stronger, and one day, he would challenge Alpha Louis again. And next time, he wouldn’t be so easy to defeat.
