The Were-curse

"She's absolutely beautiful." The mother cooed letting the baby grab her pointer finger with a weak grasp. Nao gazed up at her mother she was wrapped in a light pink fuzzy blanket. She had her mother's looks from those forest green eyes to the red hair on her head.

Yuuki looked up when there was a knocked on the door. "Come in." The door opened and the male alpha walked in.

"I heard about the healthy birth of your little girl." She presented her child to the pack leader. "She will make a fine werewolf." The alpha blessed with a smile. All newborns needed to be accepted into the pack by the male or female alpha. All adults accepted and protected the whelp from outside dangers. "Congratulations Yuuki."

"Thank you I am truly blessed."

"I'll leave you two alone now." Once he left, Yuuki turned back to her kin kissing the baby's head.

"Welcome to the pack."


The welcoming into the pack was held at night when the full moon shine bright. With a day of rest Yuuki was back to full health after the birth. She was fully able to celebrating the birth of a new werewolf. There was a large fire burning bright.

Everyone sat outside at a rectangular table. The table was covered with various types of food mostly meats and poultry. Like a huge buffet. The adults had shiny metal goblets filled with wine while the children had plain water.

The alpha's sat at one end while the new parents sat at the other. Everyone else was arranged by rank. Children sat between their parents minus the newborn who was being held by her mom. The four legged members unable to shift into humans would eat a carcass on the ground.

It would be a few months till before the whelp can digest something other than breast milk. Before eating each member inspected the whelp promising to protect her like they do their own kin. They sniffed and held the baby spoiling her with affection. A round of howls started wishing for good health to the whelp

"Let's eat!" There was no need for utensils. Hands, and claws if need, ripped the red meat off the bones. Children grabbed at the birds such as pigeons and chickens bodies eating them whole. Yuuki grabbed the leg of a deer bringing the limb to her mouth immediately. The baby now asleep on her mother's lap wiggled her nose at the new smell of meat. The reaction made the mother giggled.

When all the food was gone everyone was full. The fire was almost out signaling that the party was almost over. The table was clean the carcasses were properly disposed of. The goblets cleaned and put away. The furnished table was folded and placed a way.

Yuuki returned to her den. Each werewolf den was more like a tribal hut. A circular one room home. Most of the room was the bed pillows and comfy warm furs were a great place to sleep. The other side held their own personal items: shampoo, soap and clothes. There was no kitchen indoor bathroom or anything else. Not too far away from their territory was a small waterfall where they bathed and the spring pond where they got drinking water.

Yuuki lied on one side of the bed with her sleeping child next to her. Eventually her life mate joined them on the bed wrapping his arms around Yuuki being careful not to crush the newborn. The new family fell peacefully asleep together.


Nao was a happy child. She had everything she could ever want. Family, food, a best friend by the name of Natsuki. And even a future mate. "Father, mother when I am off age I'm going to take Nao as my mate." The almost ten year old Natsuki announced proudly to the alpha couple making the redhead blush.

Her parents shared a glance and smiled. "Alright Natsuki you have our blessing." The older kid let out a sigh afraid her parents wouldn't approve. Homosexuality was rare but accepted among packs of werewolves. Grabbing the younger girl by the hand she led her out to play.

"Are you excited about your tenth birthday Natsuki?"

"You bet I am! Soon I'll be a full-fledged werewolf. Then I'll be closer to taking you as my mate." Natsuki placed her lips against Nao's flushed cheek.

On the tenth birthday a werewolf gets the ability to transform. The first transformation is always that hardest; and because of that the alpha put each of them into a serious fight. One pack member would fight the child, slapping them around to get them to shift and fight back.

Also on the tenth birthday after the shift a werewolf will find its partner. Werewolf packs were also made up with regular canines. Each werewolf would find themselves a canine that would obey their commands and amplify their power.

It was night and the full moon was shining as bright as the fire was. The whole pack gathered in a very large circle. Nao stood behind Natsuki next to her parents. She held both of her hands to her chest praying that Natsuki would be alright. No child had ever walked around without some sort of wound from their birthday.

The navy haired girl looked around wondering who the lucky one that would make her shift would be. A large male with an afro walked out, Kaiji. With a burgundy light the male shifted into his quadruped form and immediately charged for Natsuki.

It was an easy dodge for her just by moving to the side. However, Natsuki didn't expect to be roughly grabbed by the arm and thrown like a piece of meat. She rolled against the ground her cloths and skin ripping a various places. Nao flinched even closing her eyes when she heard the older girl groan out at the attack.

The long haired female struggled to get to her feet the wind was knocked out of her. She didn't have the time to regain balance before Kaiji tackled her then pinned her under him. Growling Natsuki flailed around biting into her own lip. She hit and clawed with her little human hands till he had enough. Biting into her shirt he threw her once more. The girl rolled a few times before her reflects made her jump up successfully landing on all fours with a scowl.

Nao stepped forward a smile appearing on her face, Natsuki was transforming. Her clothes ripped to shreds and dark fur emerged. Green eyes stood out beautiful with her dark blunette fur of her feral form. The emerald eyed wolf roared and charged for the adult who leaped over her. "Wonderful transformation, my daughter!" The leader cheered with pride snapping her out of her fight mode making her more aware of her surroundings.

She turned to look at her parents and her mate her tail unconsciously wagged. "Go now, you're partner had heard you." Without another Natsuki took off into the forest searching for her partner. She didn't care how badly she was bleeding or how close she was to passing out. Every few minutes she would howl waiting for an answer that never came.

The girl walked slowly her eyesight was getting hazy he let out one more howl. She didn't see or hear anything. Natsuki blinked lowering her body to the ground. When her eyes reopened she was staring into the face of a grayish white wolf. "Duran." She whispered before passing out.

Nao paced around. It was taking a long time for her future mate to find her partner. Well no not really but the one always close to the test taker worried. The redhead bit into her bottom lip thinking the worse. She had been bleeding and all that running only pushed the blood out of her body faster.

When a small figure was caught in the corner of her eye she immediately ran towards it. "Natsuki?"Resting on the back of a wolf was a naked human Natsuki out cold but smiling. "You had me worried moron."

The blunette's mother walked over to them picking up her daughter. She bandaged her wounds and put her to bed with Nao watching over. She leaned down and kissed her cheek making Natsuki's smile even bigger.


"How do you feel?"

"Fine, the thought of you keeps my mind occupied." Natsuki blushed at the compliment standing next to her parents; Duran at her side. Yuuki was there beaming like a proud mother. The full moon shone down on the birthday girl. Nao was anxious ever since Natsuki's transformation. She wanted to run beside her love in wolf form. Long to have her fur stroked by Natsuki's fingers.

Kaiji stepped forward growling and showing fang. Nao tensed up dramatically but didn't budge till he did. Facing him in her mind went better than this did. The adult purposely jumped over her kicking her with his hind legs like a horse would. Nao, face down, skidded against the ground cutting one cheek and most of her torso.

"Come on Nao you can do it!" The older girl cheered giving her strength to the younger green eyed female. While struggling to her feet Kaiji pinned her down. Nao was unable to move in the slightest.

"Get off!" Enraged the redhead screamed shifting into her best form. White fur showed under her tearing clothes. Kaiji moved away from her as did the rest of the pack. Natsuki cocked her head to the side and looked at the shocked adults.

"She's not a werewolf!" Gasped most pack members in soft voices.

Nao let out a hideous roar. There standing in front of the werewolves was a cursed one, a werecat. With white fur and a blood red tiger pattern, infuriate Nao attacked Kaiji with her claws slicing a part of his chest.

Most of the adults shifted into their feral forms taking a bite out of the redhead. Natsuki's mother grabbed her holding the confused girl to her chest while her mate attacked Nao. "What are you doing? Why are you all attacking Nao? You didn't do that with me!" Saeko covered her green eyes with her hand. He daughter was so innocent she didn't know of the curse.

Natsuki was immobile for a few minutes. Once all the fighting stopped her mother let go. Nao as well as the adults that attacked her were gone. All that was left were blood stains on the ground which her mother tried to cover with dirt. "Nao…"

The navy haired female just stood there paralyzed even after the crowd dispersed. Moments later the other pack members returned. "Dad what happened to Nao?" The alpha grabbed his daughter's arm gently with his teeth.

"Natsuki you are forbidden to mention her again." Her father ordered her strictly through telepathy. He didn't care if tears ran down her face. "Here, talk to her instead." The leader dragged his child to the first young werewolf he saw. "She's your best friend now."

Without a reply the male left. Natsuki looked into the eyes of her new friend. The girl offered a friendly smile unaffected about what just happened. The first noticeable thing that caught Natsuki's attention was her beautiful ruby eyes that reminded her of her friend's hair.

Nao…
