Chapter 36: THIRTY-SIX


    The curse


    Lucas woke up in the middle of the night to find someone standing in the middle of his room, right


    in front of his bed. It was dark, and he couldn’t see properly. Could it still be the effect of the alcohol?


    No, even though he still felt a terrible headache, he’dpletely sobered up now, he was sure that he


    was back to his normal self now. Where was thedy he’d slept with before he passed out? She wasn’t


    sleeping beside him anymore, instead he could make out a dark silhouette standing at the far end of


    his bed.


    So, he must be in a dream, or he was seeing things, he thought. He rubbed his eyes as he turned


    on themp on his bedside so he could get a clear view of who it was.


    As he turned it on, he froze upon seeing Susan standing there with a wicked smile.

    Who are you? He tried to speak, to bring the words to his mouth, to say something, but he


    couldn’t. It felt as if his tongue had been tied. He tried to move but he couldn’t either, he just kept


    staring at her. Who was she? What did she have in mind? What was she going to do to him? He


    wondered. He had never had this kind of encounter with anyone before, and he didn’t know what to do.


    So, he just sat there numbly, waiting for what she would do or say next.


    “It’s time to teach you a permanent lesson, Rabbi” she said as she held out a glowing ball in her


    hand, and pointed it at him.


    “You are still the same, the goddess granted you another life but you’re still as useless as you


    were before, you’re still the same cold, heartless and wicked. You have a beautiful maiden and child at


    home but yet you choose to let strange people warm your bed. You are a disgusting man Rabbi, you


    are a disgrace unto humanity, you are wicked, and you have a talent for hurting those who choose to


    love you. You ruined me, I am ruined forever because of you Rabbi, you don’t deserve to be a human


    being; the goddess should have brought you back to this world as an animal, that is the kind of life that


    suits you; but since she failed to do so, I will see to it that you be the beast you truly were born to


    be.”


    The glowing ball in her hand shone brightly as she continued cursing.


    “From now on Lucas De’ n, you will be a beast, a wolf, a ve to the moon, a rejected


    alpha and your curse will be so. I will take everything away from you; your maiden, your child, your


    happiness, EVERYTHING!!! You will live a solitary life, a lonely, painful existence, and you will die a


    gruesome death, this beast will remain with you forever and will never leave you. Let it be so as from


    today.”


    She continued with the incantations, the glowing ball shining brighter and brighter until the sound


    of an explosion was heard, and within the next second, she disappeared from the room.


    **********


    Lucas jolted up from his bed, sweating heavily, he’d just had the most terrible nightmare, he tried


    to see if the woman, Susan that was her name, was still in his bed, but she wasn’t there. And who the


    heck was Rabbi? Maybe she was all a dream, he thought, a horrible dream that he never ever wanted


    to experience in his life again.


    But losing thepany wasn’t a dream, even though he thought it would be. Sadly, he had to


    move on now and look for something else to do, but first, he wanted to go home to Bambi and Amelia.


    He got up and went into the bathroom, freshened up, and about an hourter, he was in a taxi driving


    to the airport.


    He arrived home about two hourster, and was greeted at the door by little happy Bambi, jumping


    up and down, d to see his daddy again.


    “Daddy! You’re back,” he shrieked excitedly. “Now you can y with me today.”


    Lucas was tired, he wanted nothing more than to go and sleep in his room, he didn’t want to do


    this, but he knew that Bambi wouldn’t forgive him if he missed this one. So, he put down his luggage,


    went to greet Amelia and nanny upstairs, before wearing Bambi his shoes and carrying his happy son


    to the yground.


    He reached themunity yground and helped Bambi swing, slide and y with the sand


    while he watched. The sun was out but the air was humid, and it didn’t take long before he started


    sweating profusely, he wondered how he had so much energy pent up just by watching his son y.


    He tried to clean it up with his handkerchief but the sweating persisted, he couldn’t take it


    anymore.


    “Bambi, we need to go back home now, daddy is tired, we’ll continue ying tomorrow.”


    Bambi was now in the little yhouse, he didn’t want toe out, but after daddy insisted so


    many times, he had to oblige. Lucas took Bambi back home in his arms and spent the rest of the day


    trying to catch some sleep, but he couldn’t. Instead, the sweating continued, even more intense than


    when he was out in the sun.


    He tried taking off his shirt and didn’t miss the sight of wild hairs springing from his chest.
