Asher Blackwood, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, stood on the balcony of his Louisiana mansion, gazing out at the moonlit night. His thoughts consumed by the curse that had plagued his family for generations.
His father's dying words echoed in his head. "Find the Omega born under the Blood Red Moon, and our curse will be broken."
He had been searching for a Decade now , but his searching had yielded nothing. Making his frustration grew with each passing year.
Kaiden, sensing his father's restlessness, decided to ask what might be bothering him. "Father, what's troubling you?" Kaiden asked, joining him on the balcony.
Alpha Asher's gaze lingered on the moon. "Just pack business, son. Nothing to concern yourself with." But Kaiden knew better. His father's evasiveness only fueled his curiosity.
That night, Kaiden snuck into his father's study, seeking answers.
slipping into his father's study, the soft creak of the door echoes through the silent hallway.he knew his father's private study is sacrosanct, but Kaiden's curiosity got the better of him.
He scanned the room, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. Shelves lined with leather-bound tomes seemed to stretch up to the ceiling, while papers and maps cluttered the massive oak desk.
Kaiden's fingers trailed over the documents, searching for any hint of his father's secretive endeavors. Going through his father's desk and his drawers he caught sight of a rusty book, opening the book a single sheet of paper fell out .He bent down to pick it, but the words written in it caught his attention:
"The Prophecy of the Seer"
"...the love of an Omega, born under the Blood Red Moon,shall break the curse that plagued our line.
Through their bond, the Blackwood Pack shall find redemption, and the shadows that haunt shall decline."
Kaiden's mind reeled. The Blood Red Moon... He remembered that night, ten years ago.the night of an unshakeable feeling .
As he read on, a fragmented memory resurfaced, of his father holding him close while they both writhed in pain, promising him he would never feel a pain like that anymore.
He continued reading the prophecy.
"...the Omega's love shall soothe the savage beast,and the Blackwood family affliction shall cease.
The full moon's call, which brings pain and strife,shall be silenced, and peace shall be their life."
Kaiden's thoughts turned to his own experiences. He and his father had never suffered the excruciating pain that usually occurs every full moon nights, not since the Blood Red Moon.
A realization dawned on him, their respite was tied to the prophecy.
Kaiden's heart pounded. He was meant to marry the Omega, to break the curse and free his pack.
But what about his own desires? Did he truly want to bind himself to a stranger for the sake of duty?
He made up his mind to find the omega before his father does.
Kaiden's mind reeled as he left his father's study, the weight of the prophecy settling upon him.
But Kaiden's resolve was soon overshadowed by a sinister plot unfolding elsewhere.
Victor, Alpha of the storm bhinger pack , sat in a dimly lit room, surrounded by his loyal pack members.
"Gentlemen, the time has come to strike," Victor declared. "Asher Blackwood's grip on the pack and his companies must be broken."
Reginald, CEO of Ravenwood Industries, nodded in agreement. "With Asher out of the way, Blackwood corporation will be vulnerable to takeover."
Victor's eyes gleamed. "And with the Blackwood Pack weakened, we'll claim their territory and dominance."
The duo had been known to be Asher Blackwood nemesis , they both want his family wealth for themselves, Alpha victor want to take over Blackwood pack , while Reginald want to take over Blackwood corporation.
The room fell silent as they finalized their plan.
Alpha Asher Blackwood's sleek, black SUV sped down the winding highway, en route to his office. his security detail trailing closely behind. The morning sun cast a golden glow over the Louisiana landscape.
As his vehicle approached the intersection of Highway 12 and Oakwood Drive, a rusty, old tanker truck suddenly veered into his lane.The SUV's tires screeched in protest as his driver swerved to avoid the collision. But it was too late.
The truck's bumper clipped the SUV, sending it spinning out of control. The vehicle careened off a utility pole and overturned, landing on its roof.
Alpha Asher, dazed and disoriented, struggled to free himself from the mangled wreckage. His driver, critically injured, lay unconscious beside him.
A figure emerged from the shadows, swiftly approaching the crash site. With calculated precision, the figure tossed a canister into the shattered window.
A hissing sound filled the air as teargas wafted in, mingling with the scent of gasoline,smoke and wolfbane, a deadly poison lethal to werewolves.
Alpha Asher's eyes widened in horror as the poisonous gas enveloped him. His werewolf physiology made him acutely vulnerable to the wolfbane.Asher's cries were muffled as the gas suffocated him. His body convulsed, then stilled.
The figure vanished into the darkness, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
