Cursed By Fate

Beneath the skin lies many beasts. The human guise, the primal beast-man, the war form, the dire form and true form. The Lawn family has always been known to possess the most powerful and the most beautiful werewolves in the history of the Moon Stone Pack. They were the keepers of the werewolf lineage, possessing the ability to transform into powerful and majestic creatures under the light of the full moon. Beneath their human guises, they held the primal beast-man within, their true nature waiting to be unleashed.

The sprawling clearing near Moon Stone Pack was adorned with colorful banners and shimmering lanterns, a testament to the joyous occasion that was about to unfold. The air filled with excitement as the members of the werewolves from other adjoining packs arrived, their eyes glittering with anticipation. They had gathered to celebrate the remarkable birthday of Carl Lawn, the young heir to the Lawn family and the future Alpha of the renowned Moon Stone Pack. They saw this celebration as an awesome opportunity to witness the emergence of a prospective Alpha, an honor bestowed upon few.

It was known for centuries in the history of Moon Stone Pack that on every nineteenth birthday of a true heir of Moon Stone pack, the supposed heir transforms to a true wolf. This happens when the full moon bathes the night sky in its radiant glow.

“I welcome you all to this great festival,” Ramirez said. The night we’ve all been waiting for, a special day to be remembered for ages. It was a great day indeed, a night to determine the fate of the Moon Stone pack. Ramirez Lawn, a fierce Alpha werewolf has been the leader and protector of Moon Stone pack for many years after his father gave up the ghost. He had piercing and glowing red eyes, a narrow brow and a swinging stride.

Alpha Ramirez Lawn, had ruled Moon Stone pack with unwavering strength and wisdom. He was a towering figure, both in physical stature and in the hearts of his pack members. With a commanding presence and a deep sense of responsibility, he had guided the pack through countless challenges and triumphs.

Born into a lineage of great Alphas, Ramirez had inherited a legacy of power and authority. He was raised with a strict code of honor and duty, instilled with the belief that the well-being of his pack was his foremost responsibility.

Ramirez had a profound love for his family, especially for his wife, Luna Claire, and their son, Carl. But he saw no potential in Carl to carry on their family’s noble lineage and strengthen the pack for generations to come. This is because Carl seems to be frail, holding the fact that he’s the true heir to uphold their family dynasty. But as fate would hold it he soon will be the leader of the Moon Stone pack.

Carl Lawn, a young werewolf burdened with the weight of his family’s expectations, stood at the edge of the forest, his gaze fixed on the moonlit sky. He was the only son of Alpha Ramirez and Luna Claire Lawn, the esteemed leaders of the powerful Moon Stone pack. From a young age, Carl had been taught the stories of his ancestors, the great Alphas who possessed immense strength and unwavering loyalty. He desires to prove himself worthy of his name and secure his place as the future Alpha of the pack.

Carl stood at the edge of the forest, his mind filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. He knew that the time had come for him to embrace his true nature, to transform under the full moon and prove himself as the future Alpha of his pack.

His parents, Alpha Ramirez and Luna Claire, approached him, their expressions filled with pride and concern. Luna Claire gently placed a hand on Carl’s shoulder and spoke with a soothing voice.

“My dear son, the time has finally come for you to reveal your true form. Are you ready?” Luna asked.

Carl took a deep breath, looking into his mother’s eyes. “I’ve been preparing for this moment my whole life, Mother. I’ve studied the ancient texts, practiced the shifting techniques, and honed my control over the beast within. I believe I am ready.”

Ramirez nodded approvingly, his red eyes gleaming with a mixture of pride and determination.” You have worked hard, Carl. Remember, the transformation is not just about power. It is about embracing the responsibilities that comes with being an Alpha. You must lead with strength, but also with compassion and wisdom.”

Blake’s gaze shifted from his father to the moonlit sky above. “I understand, Father. I know that the fate of our pack rests upon my shoulders. I will do everything in my power to protect and guide our pack, just as you have done.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Luna Claire smiled warmly, her eyes filled with motherly affection. “We have faith in you, Carl. You possess the blood of great Alphas running through your veins. Trust in yourself and let the moon’s light guide you.”

Carl’s determination grew stronger with every word of encouragement from his parents. He knew that this was not only his chance to prove himself but also a pivotal moment in the history of Moon Stone pack.

As the moon climbed higher, bathing the clearing in its ethereal glow, Blake’s father, Alpha Ramirez Lawn, stepped forward to accompany him. The crowd hushed, their eyes fixed on the trio as they disappeared into the depths of the forest, the whispers of the leaves guiding their way.

Carl’s heart pounded in his chest as they reached a secluded grove, dappled with moonlight. The anticipation within him intensified, his body pulsating with the energy of the night. He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths, and channeled the stories of his ancestors who had embraced their true forms with grace and power.

“I can do this.” Carl whispered to himself. “I have the blood of the Lawns cursing through my veins. I will shift and prove myself.”

Time seemed to stand still as Carl focused his every fiber on the transformation he had long awaited. He felt the familiar tingling sensation coursing through his body, the subtle stirring of his inner beasts. But as the seconds turned into minutes, his anticipation waned, replaced by confusion and then disappointment. The moon had reached its zenith, casting a shimmering halo upon the grove, but there was no sign of a wolf emerging from Blake’s form.

“What… What’s happening? Why can’t I shift?” Carl’s voice trembled.

The silence was deafening. Carl’s heart sank as he opened his eyes to face his parent’s incredulous gazes. The weight of their disappointment crushed him, the weight of being labeled as different and perhaps even weak.

Alpha Lawn’s voice filled with disbelief “Carl, my son, how can it be? A Lawn without a wolf essence? Such a thing has never been heard of.”

Luna shook her head. “This… this is unprecedented. Carl, are you sure you’re of our bloodline?”

Carl’s eyes welled up with tears, the weight of his father’s doubt crashing down on him.

Carl’s voice trembling “Father, I don’t understand. I’ve trained, I’ve prepared, just as you taught me. I’ve done everything I can.”

“I don’t know what to make of this, Carl. It’s as if the essence of the wolf is absent within you.” Alpha Ramirez’s voice was filled with sadness as he spoke.

Whispers of confusion and disappointment rippled through the gathered werewolves, their eyes filled with a mix of disbelief and sorrow.

“How could this happen? The Druids have always produced powerful werewolves.” A pack member whispered to another.

“Is he really the son of Alpha Druid? How can he not shift?”

Carl’s gaze fell to the ground, his heart heavy with self-doubt. The weight of expectation hung in the air, mingled with a sense of loss and uncertainty.

The atmosphere was thick with disappointment and an unsettling silence settled upon the grove, broken only by the distant howls of the other werewolves. The future of the Moon Stone Pack seemed uncertain, as they grappled with the extraordinary revelation that their future Alpha possessed no wolf within him.
