Beta No More

The moon glowed high above Lunar Heights, its light spilling over the city’s rooftops and forgotten streets. Hidden beneath the busy city, in the shadows of an abandoned subway system, Alex stood at the edge of the pack’s underground den, watching and waiting. He wasn’t just watching for threats. He was waiting for the moment everything would change. Alex had always been the beta. The second-in-command. The reliable, loyal wolf who stayed in his place, followed the alpha’s orders and didn’t ask questions. That was how the Crescent Fang pack worked. Tradition came first, and Lucas, their powerful alpha, made sure every wolf knew it. But lately, Alex had started to wonder if those rules were holding them back Now, Alex faces a choice: stay in the role he was born into, or become the leader his pack needs. The moon is rising. The pack is waiting. And Alex will have to decide who he truly is before it’s too late.
