Cursed By Fate

Slaving for the Alpha



Carl had let Laura drive after they left John’s cabin. He had not slept for the past thirty six hours and he was too tired to handle the wheel. John and Caroline had given them some money to help them stay afloat for the first few days.

He fell asleep as soon as they got on the highway. As Laura drove she wound up the windows and turned on the air conditioner. Hopefully he could peacefully before they got to their destination.

Carl opened his eyes to find himself parked outside the forest. The door on the drivers side was open and Laura was nowhere to be seen. He went down from the car and became frantic as he began to call out to her but no response.

Relying basically on his instincts , he ran into the forest as fast as his legs could carry him . “Laura!” He screamed as he went on. But there was no reply. Eventually, he came across a single slipper which he recognized to be hers, he forged ahead faster as he morphed fully so he could track her by scent.

It was futile as he couldn’t perceive anything that remotely came close to her . He panicked as his chest felt like it tightened and his heart beat increased in pace. Finally he let out a howl as though it was a full moon sighting.

He morphed back into his human form and continued to walk through as he called her name out in vain. Eventually he got tired and had to rest. He rested at the bottom of a large oak tree. Though his body was tired his mind raced through several possibilities.

What could have happened to Laura, why would she go missing all of a sudden and into the forest. He was about to shut his eyes when he heard footsteps approaching. “Laura” he murmured. But he turned around to see a huge white wolf with blue eyes.

It’s mouth was stained with blood like it had just eaten and the scent of fresh blood was all he could perceive. “Your woman was quite tasty I must say.” The wolf said telepathically. Carl’s eyes widened and he immediately got up to morph back into his wolf form .

But before he could complete his transition, the wolf pounced on him and subdued him in a matter of seconds ” you’re going to die here, and you know why? You’re not strong enough to stand against me.” The last thing Carl saw were the bare teeth of the wolf as it widened it’s jaws to bite his head off.

Carl opened his eyes to see a long free road ahead of him . Laura was still driving and the horror he had just experienced was nothing but a dream. He was sweating profusely despite the air conditioner being on and his head ached.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you okay ?” Laura asked as she turned to find him staring at her . He nodded in response as all he needed was right before him at the moment. He was pondering about the meaning of his dream and why he was having it on the day he chose to return home .

Laura parked in a gas station to refill her tank. Carl excused himself so he could use the restroom. He went into the convenience store and asked for the key, he asked ” should I get you anything?” Laura smiled and replied “just some chips, beef jerky and some water.”

He paid for the items he picked and gave them to her before he proceeded to the back of the store . He relieved himself and then washed his hands. He rasied his head and was startled to find the reflection of the wolf in his dreams staring back at him .

He blinked to make sure he wasn’t dreaming again and for good measure, splashed water on his face . When he opened his eyes again to find his reflection, he let out a sigh of relief.

By the time he was out, Laura was done and back in the car. He got back into the store and handed the key to the attendant before rejoining his woman in the car.

“So where are we headed?” Laura asked as she put the key in the ignition to start the vehicle. “How about I take the wheel and let you rest instead?” Laura was about to decline when he insisted and they switched places. They got back onto the highway and sped off .

Elijah was out for a run by himself when he came across Alfred and his pack of warriors. They were covered in blood and smelled of gas fluid. But Elijah knew better than to ask so he ran past them and onto his usual path.

They disbanded as soon as they got to the bayou and Alfred instructed them to clean themselves up before they returned to their individual homes.

He himself had to report back to the Alpha . But upon entering his chambers he did not find him. “Where’s the master?” He asked the guard who stood watch at the door. “He’s with one of his concubines” replied the guard as he whispered.

Alfred was livid , Louis had he and his men carrying out a massacre. Staining not just their hands and fangs with blood but their souls as well. The blood of innocents none the less. “That bastard” he cursed as he grinded his teeth.

It wasn’t the fact that Louis was sleeping with another woman outside his mate that bothered him. But at a crucial time like this. Just how selfish was he. This felt like a blade was squeezed through his chest as he was filled with rage.

He left not waiting another second to report. He retired to his chambers to wash the blood off his body but he knew there was no way he could wash it off his conscience.
