The Curse

Jason walked out from his rooms and made his way out thru the passage and down the stairs to the second floor and lastly to the first floor, And like he knew, Evan George father and Max Weston father showed up in their grand hall downstairs to saw his father.

"Alpha, Our kids didn't returned home last night, And Evan clearly told me, he was going to see Jason!," Evan's father, Nathan George pointed to Jason, while Max's father remained silent as the rest of the elders and chiefs in council meeting started walking into the grand hall, and the howling cries of the wolves mother were heard from afar, as they ran faster in their wolves forms up to the Alpha's mansion.

Jason walked down to the hall slowly and stopped rightly in front of his father whom was quiet and still staring to him, While the other chiefs in council who heard Beta Nathan statement started disagreeing amongst themselves.

"Are you trying to say that Jason knew about your sons wherabout?. What if they left this village and went to the city and got killed?," One of the elders questioned out, but Beta Nathan like he knew, quickly disagreed.

"No!.. I know my son. Evan cannot leave these village and disobeyed me. He clearly told me he was going to see Jason and to play with Jason. And I warned him not to cross the boundaries or leave our village pack either!" Beta Nathan spoked with gritted teethes as he stared to Jason angrily, while Alpha Eli was silent all thru.

"Alpha, what do you have to say about this?. Ain't you asking Jason about his two best friends disappearance?," One of the Chiefs in council asked, Just then the chief priest walked in and he was assumed to be the husband to the moon goddess as he had no mate and had lived for hundreds of years.

"Greetings wise one!," All the chiefs in the grand hall stood up to welcome Wise one Austin as he walked in. And his wolf form was white even as he was in his human form, he still had white hair on his head and was the only fair in complexion werewolf in their kingdom, As they never grew old.

Wise one Austin hit his long brown rods with wolf head to the floor as he walked to the front to meet Jason's father, whom also stood up to welcome him too.

"Welcome, Wise one Austin" Alpha Eli spoked, while Jason brows furrowed as he hated Wise one Austin, right from his birth and when he started to know a thing.

Wise one Austin had no mate and Jason stared to him irritably, As Jason remembered he had asked his mother, why Wise one Austin hated him, and his mother had told him, "Only the wise one knows.."

"Alpha Eli . Your son has to be punished!," Wise one Austin announced and the cries of the female wolves was heard from outside their mansion, as they couldn't walked into the gathering of the men, except during festive seasons like mating ceremony.

"What has he done?" Alpha Eli pretended and asked, with head slightly bowed, even as he was the Alpha, He knew whenever he refused to choose the right path of decision, Wise one Austin would appeared out of no where and reveal the truth.

As Wise one Austin was like his nemesis and just then the eyes on the wolf head on the brown staff Wise one Austin was holding shone brightly red.

"Your son killed his two best friends for a food that he should have shared between them. Jason knew the customary law of the Greshood packs and yet he killed them to have the meal alone.."

"What!" The elders in council screamed out in shocked while Alpha Eli fell to his knees and pleaded, knowing the grave consequences Jason had committed.

"Temper mercy wise one, you cannot kill him. What will become of our clans?."

"Silence!" Wise one Austin thundered and he inhaled and exhaled deeply.

"The three of them made a mistake by killing the humans ruler and his wife . And now, our kinds would be in great danger as the humans would hunt down for us and kill us as their revenge!" Wise one Austin spoked out in anger , While the brown staff wolf head eyes continued to shone redder in anger too.

"Beta Nathan, and Gamma Kai, you both would have to bare the lost of your sons, As the three of them foolishly sneaked out from the borders. To protect our clans, a huge walls would be built around to prevent the humans from entering into our kingdom freely or spying on us. As our packs need to be protected and that's just it!."

The hall falls into murmuring again but Wise one Austin thundered "Silence!. Am not done talking and you don't talk while I speak. Alpha Eli, you knew the law and because your son killed his kindred, you thought you could hid it and protect him. He would be punished and that's the greatest punishment for him as he killed not just one wolf, but two for a meal that he could have shared with them, And yet he didn't ate the meal, where's it?!" Wise one Austin thundered in a loud voice as he turned to face Jason. And even as the chiefs in the hall shook afraid but Jason didn't shivered as all eyes fell on him.

"Where's the meal that made you killed your two friends, Where had you kept it?," Wise one Austin questioned, as he couldn't visioned passed that, and he slowly sauntered to meet Jason whom moved away.

"The ruler and his wife was killed and eaten by Evan and Max, but there was another little human with them, And I cannot see whom that human was, but Jason took the human and he hasn't eaten it yet!."

"What!" The whole chiefs in the hall screamed out, and they were all ready to tear Jason aparts, including the angry youths werewolves that had later stepped into the hall to found out why the female wolves were crying.

"Where's the meal Jason, Speak?," Alpha Eli commanded his son, but Jason rather stared away from his father and refused to spoke while Wise one Austin pointed his brown staff to Jason.

"He's a rogue, and he would kill even his own kind just for a meal. The werewolves don't kill there kinds, but he would kill any just to protect that meal!." Wise one Austin's staff eyes, shone brighter red and the wolf head grew bigger in anger..

"He shall be cursed and he will be on the call to protect all his packs. The humans would arise and he would be at the fore front to fight and protect his clans. He shall have no mate and no heir would arise from him as he shall remain cursed."

"No Austin, you cannot do this to him" Alpha Eli fell to Wise one Austin feet while the rest of the chiefs remained in silence, but Jason never took the curse seriously, As he took it that Wise one Austin was only blabbing and he remained mute as he wouldn't gave out his personal meal yet.

"Then would you die in his place and take over his curse?, As Jason shall be killed, by the very own meal, he's protecting!."

"Liar!" Jason finally screamed out and transformed into his black wolf, But as Jason wanted to turned rogue and like a flash, the brown staff in Wise one Austin's hand changed into a brown wolf too and attacked Jason, biting him on his neck to held him down.

"I told you right from his birth that he was doom and would bring destruction, but you refused to kill him, now we will all have to face the consequences of your failed action. You only thought of protecting your son, how about the rest of our packs, you're obviously are like him Eli , but only soft in heart, while Jason is dangerous and ruthless and would kill his own blood for a worthless meal."

Wise one Austin stretched out his hand and the brown wolf stopped attacking Jason and shapeshifted back into a brown rod, Which magnetized back to Wise one Austin's hand, And Wise one Austin finally walked out from the hall with the rest of the chiefs starting to leave next, as the judgment was over.

Alpha Eli couldn't cried and he stared to his only son in irritation. He had two daughters aside from Jason and his blood boiled hot, as he knew it was more difficult for the female wolves to conceived, unlike the humans. As the humans only carried their babies in their womb for nine months, while the she-wolves carried theirs for 1-year plus before birth, And it took many mating night before the female wolf could conceived rather.

Wise one Austin walked out and stared to the crying wolves mothers and he ignored them as he made his way out and like he spoked to Alpha Eli, the fencing of Greshood packs needed to be done before the humans would came searching for them.

They had to stayed hidden, he thought and rebuilding the kingdom to looked more appealing and also a like the humans world, would be their next target.

Chloe Tristan immediately rushed into the hall with her older daughter Penelope, and they both rushed to Jason side, seeing his father didn't even cared to checked up on him as Alpha Eli stood staring away.

"Jason, are you okay?," Chloe asked, as she didn't wanted to lose her only son. He was the next Alpha whether their Wise one liked her son or not, she didn't cared, but she heard Jason growling and screaming out in pain, when he was attacked in the hall and his father stood doing nothing about it.

"Are you okay son?" Chloe asked, lifting Jason up.

"Mom, he's bleeding!" Penelope cried, and Chloe replied, "let's take him to the clinic to dress his wound first."
