Since he was a pup, Kael had heard about the fate that awaited every true Alpha: finding his Luna, the female destined to balance his strength, guide his fury, and complete his soul. But the years passed, and the full moon only illuminated a growing emptiness inside him. Every battle won, every territory conquered, only reinforced the same bitter truth — he led the pack, but walked alone.
When the pressure of his instincts became unbearable, Kael would slip away from the pack to run freely through the shadows of the forest. It was on one of those silent nights that destiny finally decided to move.
The air grew heavy. The birds fell silent as if something terrible was about to happen. And then, the sky opened.
A light tore through the clouds with violent force — white, bluish, impossible to be natural. Kael growled, fur bristling, feeling a strange energy vibrate in the air. The ground shook beneath his paws as something massive broke through the atmosphere, howling like a metallic predator.
The forest erupted in light and shrapnel.
The ship crashed so close that the impact threw him backward. When the dust settled, Kael lifted his snout, sniffing… something. It wasn’t human. It wasn’t animal. It wasn’t anything he had ever known.
But it was alive. And it was calling to him.
In that moment, Kael was certain of only one thing: the destiny he had sought his entire life wasn’t under the moon… it had just fallen from the sky.
