Cursed By Fate

Carl took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. He knew this was going to be the hardest conversation of his life.

“Laura, I’m not just a man,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m a werewolf.”

Laura’s eyes widened in shock, and she took a step back, her hand covering her mouth. “What? Carl, what are you talking about?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Carl knew he had to be honest, he had to tell her everything. “I came to the human world from a pack. I came to the human world because I couldn’t shift into my werewolf form,”

“What!??!” Laura exclaimed.

” My father was the Alpha of the pack when he died, I was supposed to be the next Alpha but my stepbrother whom I don’t know just came from nowhere to take over the pack just because I couldn’t shift ” Carl explained.

” So he took over the pack and made my life and my mother’s life miserable by taking my mother as his wife and maltreating us and even the pack ”

” There was nothing I could do about it which was a shame so I decided to come to the human world to go back to the pack strong and powerful to destroy the wicked Alpha ” Carl narrated his story.

Laura looked at him, her eyes searching for answers. “Why did you lie to me, Carl? what for? Why did you keep this from me?”

Carl knew he had to be brave, he had to tell her the truth, no matter how hard it was. “I was afraid, Laura. I was afraid of losing you, of you not accepting me for who I am. But I realize now that was a mistake. I should have been honest with you from the start.”

Laura took a deep breath, her eyes still wide with shock. “I… I don’t know what to say, Carl. This is a lot to take in.”

Carl nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He had finally told her the truth, and now it was up to her to decide what to do with it.

“I know it’s a lot, Laura. But I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, to accept me for who I am. I promise to always be honest with you from now on.”

Laura looked at him, her eyes searching for answers. And then, after what felt like an eternity, she spoke.

“I need time, Carl. I need time to process this, to think about what this means for us.”

Carl nodded, feeling a sense of hope. She hadn’t rejected him outright, and that was a good sign.

“I understand, Laura. Take all the time you need. I will be here, waiting for you.”

And with that, Laura turned and walked away, leaving Carl to wonder what the future held for them.

Carl began to blame himself for telling Laura about his story but he had to tell because he might become the wolf that he was one day and he had to prepare her ahead of what was to come.

“What do I do ?” Carl asked himself. He can’t bring himself to tell his friend James about it or Carolina, Laura’s friend. Those are the people he knows who can help him talk to Laura on his behalf but he can’t tell them about it. Laura wasn’t herself throughout the time she was driving home. Her mind was racing with thoughts and questions, trying to process what Carl had just told her. She couldn’t believe the man she loved, the man she thought she knew, was a werewolf. She couldn’t believe he had kept this secret from her for so long.

As she pulled into her driveway, Laura felt a lump form in her throat. She tried to hold back her tears, but they began to fall as she turned off the engine. She sat in the car, crying uncontrollably, trying to wrap her head around everything.

Finally, she composed herself enough to get out of the car and walk into her house. She went straight to her room, locking the door behind her. She collapsed onto her bed, burying her face in her pillow as she let out a sob.

Carolina who was watching her favorite TV show saw Laura walking in a very bad state and began to get worried. ” But she left the house this morning feeling so excited that she wanted to go and surprise her boyfriend?” Carolina Couldn’t think of what the problem might be.

She went to Laura’s room but the door was locked ” Laura can you please open the door and talk to me ?” Carolina pleaded but all she could hear was Laura crying.

” You just have to calm down, whatever the case may be, crying and locking yourself in there won’t solve the problem on ground”

” Calm down you say ?? Why did he lie to me?” she cried out loud. “Why did he keep this from me?”

Carolina didn’t seem to understand what was happening so she decided to let her be for a while. ” She might just need some time alone and she will be fine “. Carolina said to herself and left.

Laura lay there for hours, crying and thinking about everything Carl had told her. She couldn’t believe she had been so blind, so oblivious to the truth. She felt like her whole relationship with Carl had been a lie.

As the hours passed, Laura’s tears slowly began to dry up. She lay there, feeling numb and empty, wondering what the future held for her and Carl. She knew she needed time to think, and to process everything, but she couldn’t help but feel a sense of uncertainty and doubt.

As the night wore on, Laura finally fell asleep, exhausted from her tears and her thoughts. But she knew this was far from over. She had a long journey ahead of her, trying to come to terms with Carl’s secret, and figuring out if their love was strong enough to overcome it.
