Chapter 374


    374-The Beginning Of His Curse


    Author''s POV:


    Years Ago:


    "Hi!" ric stepped ahead to appear in Shepard''s sight while Shepard met with the people who came


    to see him and pray for Mrs.Shepard.


    “Thanks foring." Shepard shook hands with ric. It shocked ric to see how dull and lifeless


    Shepard looked. He used to carry grace and power whenever he walked around. Now he had his head


    down and only one sentence on his lips.


    “Thank you foring,”


    “My name is ric Fosters," ric introduced himself. Shepard thought he was going to leave, but


    watching him stay made him raise his head and smile at him.


    “How are you, ric?” Shepard asked, bowing down and then rubbing his hands on his face. He felt


    like he was lost. He didn''t even realize he was bowing down when he was the alpha of the pack. His


    mate didn''t leave alone. She took away his happiness, his power, his pride, and everything from him.


    “I heard what happened," ric murmured, looking uneasy as he stared around. His heart kept telling


    him to make things right.


    “I know it is a hard time with you and your pack. I am from the alpha king''s pack. I am his servant."


    ric was shaking when talking to Shepard. The alpha noticed how sad ric looked.


    "Come here,” Shepard said, stepping forward to hug ric. It was a surprise to ric when Shepard


    hugged him like that. He had always been ridiculed by the alphas and the alpha kings.


    To see an alpha hug a servant was something he never expected.


    "It is okay. We are all mooning; you are a good man for looking so sad for someone else." Shepard


    cried softly, patting ric’s back while keep hugging him.


    ric’s entire world shattered upon hearing those words. Shepard finally broke the hug and tapped his


    shoulder.


    “Thank you foring,” Shepard said, then smiled weakly and shook hands with ric. His actions left


    ric bewildered. He couldn''t understand why they had turned this man’s life upside down.


    ‘Oh! What have we done?’ Ric, his wolf, said, ‘When did we be the viins of the world? This man


    is the best Alpha we''ve ever met, and we ruined him. His entire life got snatched from him, and he


    couldn''t even find out why? It is all our fault. Why did we listen to the Alpha King?’ His wolf had been


    very upset with him ever since he burned the morgue down.


    ‘What do I do? How do I make things right?’ ric asked his wolf, wondering when he would get out of


    this guilt and be able to live freely again.


    "You know what we can do.’ Rick whispered, and ric''s heart sank in his chest.


    On the other hand, Thiago was standing with Enya, talking about his mother and what he learned from


    her.


    "What else? Your mom sounds like she was an excellent person. She taught you so many things,”


    Enya mumbled as she realized her mother had never taught her this.


    She only told her how to snatch things from others. She now felt bad for asking for that candy. What if


    Thiago was saving it forter and gave it to her because she asked for it and he wanted to do a good


    deed?


    “And my mother used to sa—y," Thiago paused again, trying to recall more.


    “Wait! I know I remember this because I was thinking about it when I was standing next to her grave,"


    Thiago said, closing his eyes to focus on the memory.


    "It is okay. I can wait," Enya said, thinking she should also have started being nice and doing good


    things.


    "She -- she said--," Thiago mumbled, "Why can''t I remember it anymore?” He questioned his memory,


    and when he opened his eyes again, there was an expression of shock on his face.


    "It is okay; we can talk about something else she taught you,” Enyaforted him, smiling at him.


    "I d—ont remember what she looks like," Thiago whispered in shock, feeling like he had been struck


    with the worst horror of his life.


    "I cannot remember her face. How?" He panicked, shoving his hands in his pockets to look for a picture


    that he kept with him.


    The moment he brought the picture out, he gulped in terror.


    There was nothing there.


    “Thhh—ere used to be her picture,” he stuttered, taking steps back and feeling empty.

    “I don''t remember anything. Why are we here?" He then looked around, panicked, and became lost.


    “Oh No!” He grasped his hair in his fist and started bawling.


    “Oh! please con''t cry.” Enya was startled to see him scream and cry like that. She instantly stepped


    back from him and began sobbing with him.


    In the meantime, ric had decided to tell Shepard all about the alpha king. He knew what he had to


    do now.


    “Actually, I''vee here to tell you something," he said confidently this time, closing his eyes. Shepard


    frowned at him in confusion.


    “What is it, dear friend?" Shepard asked and watched ric take a deep breath.


    “You look stressed out. Is there something I can help you with?" Shepard asked questions, and the


    moment ric was ready to open his mouth, they heard a child''s cries.


    “Thiago! That''s my boy," Shepard gasped at the blood-curdling cries of his son, "Please excuse me,” he


    mumbled while running like crazy in the direction of the cries.


    “Where is Enya?" ric looked around in search of his daughter, and panic struck him. He started


    rushing out of the graveyard and found his daughter standing behind them and sobbing in her palms.


    ric rushed over to grab her and her teddy.


    “We need to leave,” he whispered in her ear, picking her up to run out of there.


    “I can''t remember anything." it was then Thiago’s voice made ric slow down and give it a thought.


    Something didn''t seem right about Thiago''s statement.


    ‘She did something,’ Ric whispered from inside, and ric clenched his jaw.
