Alma between two Worlds Chapter 1 The Call of instinct

The Lamenta Forest stretched out beneath the ghostly moonlight, its dark peaks forming an impenetrable wall around the Keibster pack. Mist crept between the gnarled trunks, giving the shadows the illusion of breathing, alive, moving.

Amidst the darkness, eyes pierced the gloom. Golden pupils, burning with a cruel glow typical of natural-born hunters. The young wolves crouched on the damp ground, muscles tense beneath their tawny or silver fur, ready to pounce at the slightest signal.

But Alma was different.

His coat, silvery white mixed with ethereal hues, seemed to capture fragments of night light, strange and unreal amidst the dark wolves of the pack. The moon slid across his flanks like a silent benediction, a radiance no other Keibster possessed. A singularity that disturbed as much as it fascinated.

She should have been focused. She should have melted into the night, spying on the human prey advancing a few meters away, oblivious to the danger that awaited her.

But Alma raised her head.

Up above, a moth fluttered among the leaves, its slender wings edged with a blue glow. It danced in the fresh air, defying the darkness of the forest, free and carefree. Its flight was an ode to fragile beauty, a gentleness that contrasted with the brutality of the predators lurking in the shadows.

The other young wolves, however, were completely focused on their mission. A powerful howl pierced the silence, the signal from the chief hunter: the attack was launched.

But Alma didn't move.

Instead of preparing to pounce, she snorted, a light, amused breath, incongruous in this context of stalking and blood.

Kaelen, the hunter overseeing their training, didn't miss a beat. He called the pack to him. He stood up slowly, breaking from his perfect stillness to approach her with fluid steps. His dark brown fur rippled beneath his powerful muscles, and his eyes, a piercing amber, bore into her with an intensity that left no room for doubt.

He had never understood Alma.

Where the pack found its balance in obedience and predation, it seemed to be constantly drifting, fascinated by the useless, by the fragile aesthetics of the world, by this gentleness that they despised.

His deep voice echoed, full of reproach:

"You are the destined Luna of the pack, Alma. You should focus on your mission... instead of dreaming about the insects that inhabit the night."

Alma held his gaze for a moment, caught between shame and the silent rebellion burning in her heart. A shiver ran down her spine. Kaelen was right: she was his future Luna, destined for power, shaped to be ruthless.

So why did this simple butterfly inspire more fascination in him than hunting?

A whisper in her mind told her that perhaps she wasn't cut out to rule as others hoped. But what was she then, if she couldn't be an accomplished Keibster?

Alma bowed her head in apology and retreated into the oppressive darkness.

The night was deep, and the flames of a campfire flickered in the wind, casting shifting shadows across the faces of the humans gathered around. Their laughter was soft, light, a harmony that contrasted cruelly with the menacing stillness of the wolves lurking in the shadows.

Alma, positioned a little back, observed the scene. Her pack was ready. Muscles tense, eyes shining with a fierce glow, they waited for the next signal, for that precise moment when human fragility would be eclipsed by the power of predators.

She had to join them. She had to prove that she was worthy of being the promised Luna.

But instead of feeling the raw elation that animated the others, an unexpected wave of remorse seized her, an icy chill that ran down her spine. Her heartbeat quickened, a mixture of fear and dull revolt rumbling in her veins.

Why? Why did this fire, these smiles, this tranquility attract him more than the call of the hunt?

She saw a little girl, curled up against her mother, her arms around an old rag that looked like a doll. Her thin voice broke the night silence, asking her father a question, who answered with a tender laugh.

Alma felt her breath catch. She couldn't let this happen.

Without thinking, her legs moved of their own accord. Far from joining her pack in the shadows, she stepped forward, her pale eyes fixed on the humans. A wild, irrepressible urge to help them escape seized her.

But could she really betray her own people for this inexplicable impulse?

His destiny wavered in this moment suspended between two worlds.

Alma felt her heart clench as she prepared to make a move. Just a gesture, a vibration in the air, a subtle warning that could save these humans from a tragic fate.

But before she could move, a shadow leaped before her, imposing, brutal like an impassable barrier. Kaelen.

His dark fur blended into the night, but his amber eyes sparkled with an icy intensity. He didn't need words. His gaze alone was enough to make her understand the extent of his fault. The forest seemed to hold its breath.

Alma, frozen, felt a shiver run down her spine. Kaelen was close, too close, his imposing stature towering over hers, his presence weighing on her like an inescapable force.

"Don't," he whispered, his raspy voice barely audible, but filled with an underlying threat.

He knew. He understood what she was planning to do. And he wasn't going to allow it. Alma opened her mouth, searching for an excuse, a way to assuage her guilt, but nothing came. All she felt was this burning sensation deep inside her, this uncontrollable need to protect those who should have been her prey.

Kaelen tilted his head slightly, his fangs slightly bared in a barely perceptible sneer.

"What's happening to you in the end? What were you planning to do?"

His voice rumbled, low and firm, leaving no room for rebellion. Alma closed her eyes for a moment. The echo of the campfire still reached her, the murmurs of the humans, their laughter... the innocence they didn't know was about to be shattered.

When she opened them again, Kaelen hadn't moved, but his gaze had hardened. He was waiting for her answer. And Alma knew that the slightest misstep could spell her downfall.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
