The Cursed Alpha and His Forgotten Mate

The pain pierced her like a flash. A cry tore the night, sliding between the black trees of the forest and colliding against the furious wind. The first lightning bursts hit the ground, zebrant the horizon of white glows, lighting up at times the disturbing silhouettes that moved in the shadows. sienna , still barely born, felt the biting cold of the night air, a sensation that should never have been his. The healer's hands were trembling, his erratic breath, while he did everything to prevent the child from being born in this world under such fatal auspices.

"She's here!" The midwife yelled, panic in the voice. But his cry was drowned by another, stronger, more disturbing noise.

Lightning struck closer. The earth trembled.

She emerged in this world with such violence that even ancient spirits led to, frightened by the weight of the omen. A cry, a spark of life, then a heavy, heavy silence. The little sienna opened her eyes in a world where fate seemed to shirk under her feet. A shiver crossed his frail body, a barely perceptible shadow on his soul, an invisible brand, but already present.

The mother's eyes were fixed on her child. She had seen the signs. She had heard the whispers of the ancients. "She will bear the curse," we said. "The carrier of misfortune. "Part of her knew that she would not survive this childbirth. The other could not accept what she knew how to be the truth. The world of men and wolves could not welcome such birth. She hugged her child in her arms, already feeling the warmth of her skin, and fear seized her heart.

Forest noise had become more intense. Something was getting closer, something that felt terror. She was not alone. The wind was blowing, but not strong enough to hide the heavy steps that were getting closer. The mother looked up at the horizon. Silhouettes, imposing, emerged, approaching with a threatening slowness.

"You have to flee," whispered the mother, her weak but resolute voice. The little sienna did not understand, but the hand that hugged her arm already knew. She had been chosen for something that no child should have brought.

The door smashed, the house trembled under the strength of the shock. The shadows invaded the room. The healer, frightened, slept on the ground, trembling with all his body. But one more cry rose, stronger than all the others. A cry that pierced at night, a cry that was going to be signing an uncertain future.

"The child! A man, larger than the others, advanced. His eyes shone in darkness, like ardent embers. His hands, covered with claws, shudder, lend to grasp.

The mother hugged her daughter against her one last time. "You have to leave, sienna . They should never know who you are. »»

A brightness of light, and man advanced. "Prophecy cannot be ignored any longer. »»

Suddenly, he broke the mother's head. The body collapsed with a thud. The little sienna yelled, unconscious of the tragic moment she was living.

She did not have time to understand what was going on. A cold gale grabs her, and the child's little silhouette was brought far, in the darkness of the forest. Where the pack of shadows could never find it. Where even fate would not dare to follow it.

The years passed, but the shadows of that evening never disappeared from the memory of sienna . However, all around her was calm. She lived among humans, fragile creatures that seemed blind to the light of fate. But sienna knew, deep down, that misfortune was an integral part of her existence.

She woke up in the cabin, her body heavy with a strange feeling. The forest seemed noisier that morning, the wind blowing through the open windows. Birds were screaming, but they were not happy cries. They were different. Palpable anxiety.

She got up, stretched her arms, and walking slowly towards the window. Heaven in the distance seemed to be threatening to burst. Lightning was never far away. But it was not lightning. She could feel the presence of another force. A strength that she could not understand, but which chased her.

The doors opened suddenly. She didn't even turn around. She knew who it was. She knew what these noises announced.

"You felt, you too." »»

Man entered, a dark look in the eyes. He was not human, but he was not a wolf either. It was something even more dangerous, a being between the two worlds. The curse, the same who had haunted her birth, tightened around her.

He advanced without a word, but sienna did not need an answer. She knew what he had come to tell her. "You have to flee, sienna . They came for you. »»

She did not respond immediately. The earth was shaking under its feet, but it was not the storm. There were heavy steps behind her. A thrill of terror traveled it, but it did not move.

Then the door exploded under a shout.

That evening, the soul of sienna forged in fate iron, prepared to face what she did not understand yet. But the shadow of Adrian, this alpha whom she had never met, was already approaching.

The wind was blowing hard when the old packs gathered around the Alpha. The darkness weighed on their faces, the serious expression, the tormented soul. They had attended the birth of sienna , the way lightning burst into shadows above them, like an announcing curse. They had seen the wind scream around the house, and the cry of the child, which was not a cry of life but a cry of end, resonate in their ears like the signal of an upcoming drama.

The council had met for a specific reason: the child. The little sienna . The destiny of the pack was now uncertain because of this birth, and the ancients knew it. Murmures roamed the pack, rumors that announced that the curse would never be lifted as long as it would be among them. It was the symbol of decadence, of decline. The light she wore in her could only be helder, and once extinguished, the pack would be condemned to wander in darkness.

The alpha stood silent, with a heavy look. He knew that his role was to protect the pack, above all. But the ancients were right. The birth of sienna , in such a chaos, under such a curse, could not be ignored. Fear was infiltrated into his mind. If the prophecy of the ancients was true, it would be the end of everything they had built. But how to ban a child, especially his?

He had no choice. The decision was made in the shadows, in silence. The alpha had ordered the banishment of sienna . The little girl, so fragile and innocent, would be sent far from the pack, far from their land. The devotion of his father, his loyalty to the pack, allowed him to face this heartbreaking decision. sienna , who was not even aware of her nature yet, would be deprived of the only family she would have ever known.

The pack turned to the old recluse healer, a woman whose power seemed as old as the forest itself. She lived in isolation, far from the curious eyes, in a fold of nature that even the most experienced wolves hardly crossed. The healer was renowned for her deep knowledge of the mysteries of nature, plants, and life, but few knew that her powers extended beyond the simple remedies. She was the guardian of forgotten secrets, broken ties. She was the one who could protect sienna , without ever revealing the truth to her.

The old woman, her trembling hands but of unwavering wisdom, welcomed sienna without asking questions. She knew, instinctively, that the girl would one day be confronted with her own nature, but that made no difference. She had to be protected. Over the years, sienna grew away from everything, far from other wolves, war and suffering. She never learned that the shadows of her past haunted her, that the murmurs of the pack still sought to find her. The healer raised him in serenity, teaching her the ancient arts of healing, listening to him listening to the forest, without ever evoking his true heritage. She was a simple child, learning to listen to the noises of the world.

But one thing, however, escaped the healer. sienna had something special, something that the old woman had seen from the first days: a hidden spark of power, asleep in her being. She had perceived him in her gestures, in her eyes, but she was not yet ready to understand the depth of this link. sienna was the child of darkness, but also the key to a bigger destiny that she could never imagine. And the day would come when this truth would burst into it, but for the moment, everything she knew was that she was simply different, that an invisible burden weighed on her shoulders.

She did not know that the pack world called him, that Adrian, her alpha, expected her that she is doing something that she could not still grasp. But time would come when all of this would be revealed in a brightness of light, a radiance that would break the chains of its past.
