The Curse
It was exactly 9:30 a.m., yet the weather condition was already superheated despite the turbulent weather that occurred the previous day. One would think the morning would be welcomed by a heavy downpour.
Just like every other morning, Alpha Diego was seated happily in his beautiful garden, feeding his eyes on his beautiful Royal Castle. Most of them are all amongst other packs. Blue Moon Pack is a magnificent and attractive edification, built with fortified gigantic walls that usually prevent opposition wolves from trooping into the royal Castle unannounced.
While Alpha Diego was seated in his beautiful garden, meditating and taking pleasure, a strange person found her way to the Blood Moon pack without his consent. No one saw her walk inside despite the massive male wolves safeguarding the castle walls. It was as though she came in like the wind. Narrowing her gaze at the environment, she sniffed the atmosphere and shook her head in pity. “Hmm! Drastic attention needs to be taken. I smell danger. Real danger that may wreck the Alpha's lineage."
"Hey, you. Stop it right there. Where are you going? I need you to run an errand for me. Are you free?"
She points at a staff passing by.
"No, I'm not. I'm so starving right now. I just need to get something to eat before I perish. I starved myself to sleep last night," the young girl suspected to be Alpha Diego staff responded.
"Your food can wait. You can do that some other time. But right now, I need to speak with the Alpha. It's an emergency. I bring him a message that's more important than feeding your empty stomach. Now depart immediately without hesitation before I lose it completely," the moon guardian ordered but the staff refused and insisted on being fed before running errands for the moon guardian even when Alpha Diego was involved.
"You must be a fool to think I'll ever let you go. How dare you defile my orders? Go call the Alpha this moment if you don't wanna see the other side of me. I can be very dangerous. I'll ensure the Alpha punishes you severely for disobeying me. The choice is yours to make. I'm not gonna put the pressure on you. I'm not asking you, this is me telling you to do this and you're gonna obey me," she threatened the chef sending shivers down her spine. This time, the chef obeyed and immediately stormed to the garden to fetch the Alpha.
"Are you blind? Can't you see I'm observing my quiet time? How dare you interrupt my hour? Have you suddenly lost respect for the Alpha's privacy? Now I get it. You're tired of your duty. You want a dismissal?" Alpha Diego yelled at his staff after hearing that his attention was needed at the pack.
"I apologize for invading your privacy. It wasn't intentional. But the moon guardian sounded so urgent. She wouldn't leave until you showed up. You may wanna consider her request, my Alpha."
"The moon guardian? What does she want at this hour? Isn't too early to visit? Hmm! You go tell the moon guardian I'll be there shortly. You can leave," Diego instructed.
"But she demands to see you immediately, my Alpha,"
