Cursed By Fate

“What’s with the smiles and blushes?” his bartender friend asked him, raising an eyebrow.

“Nothing, just thinking about Laura,” Carl replied, still grinning from ear to ear.

“Ah!, I see. Well, I’m glad to see you’re so happy. You deserve it, man,” his friend said, patting him on the back.

Carl’s smile faltered for a moment as he thought about the secret he was keeping from Laura. He knew he had to tell her the truth about his werewolf identity soon, but he was afraid of losing her.

He wish he could tell his bartender friend about it but he couldn’t bring himself to . ” Would he even believe me since I can’t shift?” Carl asked himself and quickly came to conclusion that his friend was not going to believe him .

“When the time comes, I will tell her about it ” he said to himself.

Carl nodded, taking a deep breath. He was right. He would find the right time to tell Laura the truth. For now, he just wanted to enjoy their blossoming relationship.

The day of the picnic date finally arrived, and Carl was excited. He had set up a romantic spot in the woods, complete with a blanket, a basket of food, and a bottle of wine.

Carl don’t have a car and he needed to pick Laura up at her apartment so he borrowed James’ car even if it wasn’t presentable, he just wished Laura will appreciate his efforts.

He got to Laura’s place just in time , she was done dressing. She was putting on a silky black gown with a pair of white sandals , her hair well styled.

Laura looked so gorgeous that Carl couldn’t stop himself from staring at her .

” You look so gorgeous babe” Carl complimented her .

” Aww , thanks dear ” Laura appreciated Carl’s sweet words.

He picked Laura up from her place, and they drove to the woods, laughing and chatting like they always did but this time around, it was more intense. Carl was using one of his hand to drive while the other one was holding Laura’s hand .

Since Laura lost her parents, she had never been this happy . She tossed her head outside the car , enjoying the breeze as it blew her hair all over her face.

Carl looked at her , smiled and concentrated on the road .

They got to the location and Laura was so happy with what she saw. ” Babe !!! , you will never stop making me happy ”

” If I don’t make you happy, who them will” Carl replied .

Laura gave Carl a hug and a kiss on his cheek before going to sit on the blanket then Carl joined her .

As they sat down on the blanket, Laura turned to him with a curious expression. “Carl, can I ask you something?” she said.

“Of course, what’s on your mind?” Carl replied, his heart racing slightly.

“I’ve noticed that you always seem to be….. different. You’re always so calm and collected, even in stressful situations. And your eyes… they seem to gleam in the dark. What’s going on, Carl?” Laura asked, her eyes searching his face.

Carl’s heart skipped a beat. She was getting close to the truth. He had to think fast. ” What’s is wrong with my eyes ?” Carl asked himself.

“Laura, I… uh… I just have a lot of self-control, that’s all. And my eyes… it’s just a trick of the light,” Carl said, trying to sound convincing.

Laura looked at him skeptically, but didn’t press the issue. “Okay, if you say so,” she said, smiling.

Carl breathed a sigh of relief. He had dodged the bullet for now, but he knew he couldn’t keep his secret hidden forever.

Laura was busy cleaning the glass of wine for them to begin the date proper , Carl picked up his phone immediate to check if Laura was correct or not. Carl didn’t find anything wrong with his eyes , that had always been the way his eyes was.

Maybe Laura found it weird because he was from the werewolf family but he is not even a real werewolf yet because he have not seen his wolf version before .

As they sat on the blanket, sipping their wine and enjoying the peaceful surroundings, Carl and Laura chatted about everything and nothing. They laughed and joked, their chemistry growing stronger with every passing minute.

Laura had always saw Carl every now and then but she never noticed how handsome and good looking he was because most of the time they only saw their selves briefly because of work and other circumstances .

She couldn’t help but notice how handsome Carl looked today in the fading light, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. She felt drawn to him, her heart racing with excitement.

Carl, too, was captivated by Laura’s beauty, her silky black gown shimmering in the moonlight. He loved the way her hair cascaded down her back, her smile lighting up the darkness. During the dinner, he stared mostly at her and pray Fate allow them to spend the rest of their lives together.

As they finished their wine, Carl pulled out a small basket of strawberries and cream, a sweet treat to cap off their perfect evening. Laura squealed with delight, her eyes shining with happiness.

As they savored the sweet treats, Carl took Laura’s hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. They sat in comfortable silence, watching the stars twinkle to life above.

Laura leaned her head on Carl’s shoulder, feeling safe and content in his presence. She knew she was falling in love with him, her heart beating faster with every passing moment.

Carl, too, felt his heart soaring, his love for Laura growing stronger with every passing day. He knew he had to tell her the truth about his werewolf identity soon, but for now, he just wanted to enjoy this perfect moment with the woman he loved.

As the night wore on, they talked and laughed, their connection growing stronger with every passing minute. It was a night neither of them would ever forget, a night that would change the course of their lives forever.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
