On the night of the crimson eclipse, Serena Vale's fate was sealed. Branded as the cursed Onyx wolf-feared, hated, and hunted-she lost her family, her pack, and any hope of belonging. Every day since has been a fight to survive... until the night Lucian Draven finds her. Lucian, the dangerous and magnetic Alpha of the Nightfang Pack, offers her protection from the enemies closing in. But safety under Lucian's rule comes at a cost; he wants her power, her loyalty... and the heart she swore she'd never give again. Just as she begins to lower her guard, Elias Storm, the Alpha of the Silver Ridge Clan and her fated mate, returns. His touch awakens the bond she's tried to forget, but his arrival threatens to spark a war neither pack can survive. Torn between two rival Alphas, one who burns her with desire and one who calls to her soul, Serena must face the dark power inside her and unravel a prophecy that could save their world... or destroy it. Love or loyalty. Passion or fate. The wrong choice will cost her everything.

Torn Between Alphas Chapter 1 The Cursed Moon

Serena Vale couldn't sleep. Tonight was her twenty-first birthday, and more importantly, the night of her first shift. She paced back and forth in her bedroom, counting down the minutes until midnight.

"Calm down," she whispered to herself, running her fingers through her long dark hair. "Every Vale has been a perfect shifter for generations."

Her heart raced as she glanced out the window at the full moon rising over Silver Ridge territory. The moon seemed different tonight-tinged with red at the edges. A crimson moon. She shivered despite the warm summer air.

A knock at her door made her jump.

"Serena? Are you ready?" Her father's deep voice came through the door. Alpha Caius Vale, leader of the Silver Ridge Clan, sounded unusually nervous.

"Yes, Father. I'm coming." Serena smoothed down the white ceremonial dress that all wolves wore for their first shift. The soft fabric fell to her knees, simple yet elegant.

She opened the door to find her father waiting, his gray eyes-the same shade as hers-filled with pride.

"Tonight, you become who you were always meant to be," he said, placing his hands on her shoulders. "The future Luna of our pack."

Serena nodded, her stomach fluttering with both excitement and fear. Being chosen as the mate of Elias Storm, the young Alpha who would one day replace her father, was the greatest honor. She had known Elias since childhood, and the thought of standing beside him made her heart skip.

"Is Elias here?" she asked, following her father down the hallway.

"Of course. Everyone is waiting in the Sacred Circle."

The Sacred Circle was a clearing in the heart of the forest, surrounded by ancient oak trees that seemed to touch the stars. As Serena and her father approached, she saw hundreds of wolves gathered in concentric rings around a stone altar in the center. Torches burned brightly, casting dancing shadows across eager faces.

And there, standing at the altar, was Elias Storm. Tall and powerful, with golden hair that caught the firelight. When he saw Serena, his blue eyes lit up, and he smiled-a smile that normally made her feel warm inside. Tonight, however, something felt off. The smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

Whispers rippled through the crowd as Serena walked to the center of the circle. She held her head high, trying to appear confident despite the strange tension in the air.

"Tonight, we witness the first shift of Serena Vale," her father announced, his voice carrying across the hushed crowd. "Future Luna of the Silver Ridge Clan and mate to our next Alpha, Elias Storm."

Elias stepped forward and took Serena's hand in his. His touch was colder than she remembered.

"I have waited for this night," he said, but his voice sounded strained. "We all have."

The pack members began to chant, their voices rising and falling like waves. Serena closed her eyes, feeling the energy building inside her. This was the moment she had dreamed of her entire life.

"It's time," her father whispered.

Serena stepped onto the stone altar, her bare feet cold against the ancient rock. The crimson moon now hung directly overhead, bathing the clearing in eerie red light.

"Embrace your wolf," Elias called to her. "Let her free."

Serena took a deep breath and reached deep inside herself, searching for the wolf she knew was there. She had felt her presence for years-a shadow beneath her skin, waiting to be released.

At first, nothing happened. Then pain shot through her body like lightning. She gasped, doubling over as her bones began to crack and reshape. This wasn't right. First shifts were supposed to be painful, yes, but this-this was agony.

"Father?" she cried out, her voice distorting as her jaw began to elongate.

The crowd's chanting faltered. Someone gasped. Then another.

"What's happening to her?" a voice called out.

Through tears of pain, Serena saw her hands transform not into the silver-white paws of her family line, but into massive black claws, her skin darkening to midnight fur that seemed to swallow the torchlight.

"No," her father whispered, horror etching his face. "It can't be."

The transformation accelerated, bones snapping and muscles tearing as Serena's human form gave way to the wolf within. But as the change completed, an unnatural silence fell over the Sacred Circle.

Where a silver wolf should have stood, a massive black wolf crouched on the altar. Serena's fur was darker than midnight, seeming to absorb the light around her. And her eyes-her eyes glowed a vivid, unnatural purple.

"Onyx wolf," someone whispered, and the words spread like wildfire through the crowd.

"The curse has returned!"

"She's a monster!"

"Run! Protect the pups!"

Serena whimpered, confused by the reaction. She looked to Elias, expecting him to defend her, to calm the pack. Instead, she saw naked fear in his eyes as he backed away from the altar.

"Elias?" she tried to say, but it came out as a low growl.

"Stay back," he said, his voice shaking. "You're not what we thought. You're not who I thought."

Pain lanced through Serena's heart, worse than the physical agony of her transformation. She turned to her father, hoping for support, for an explanation.

But Caius Vale's face had hardened into a mask of disgust and betrayal. "How could this happen?" he hissed. "An Onyx wolf in my bloodline?"

"The prophecy," an elder whispered nearby. "Born under the crimson moon..."

Serena tried to step toward her father, confused and frightened, but as she moved, a surge of strange power rushed through her body. The torches around the clearing suddenly flared higher, then went out completely, plunging the Sacred Circle into darkness lit only by the red moon and her glowing purple eyes.

Screams erupted as wolves scrambled to get away from her. Even in the darkness, Serena could see clearly-see the fear and hatred on faces that had smiled at her just minutes before.

"Seize her!" someone shouted. "Before she brings destruction upon us all!"

"No, kill her now!" another voice called.

Serena backed away, her new wolf instincts screaming at her to run. This couldn't be happening. This was supposed to be her night of triumph, not of terror.

Elias stepped forward, his face grim in the moonlight. "Serena Vale," he announced, his voice now cold and formal, "by the power vested in me as future Alpha of the Silver Ridge Clan, I reject you as Luna and cast you out from our pack."

The words struck her like physical blows. Rejected. Cast out. By the man who was supposed to be her mate, her future.

"You have until dawn to leave our territory," Elias continued. "After that, you will be hunted as the abomination you are."

Serena's new wolf body trembled with shock and grief. But beneath those emotions, something else stirred-something dark and powerful that whispered of vengeance.

A growl built in her throat, and she saw Elias flinch. Good. Let him be afraid.

Before anyone could move to capture her, Serena leapt from the altar and crashed through the circle of terrified wolves. Her powerful legs carried her into the forest, away from everything she had ever known and loved.

Behind her, she heard her father's voice, cracked with emotion: "Find her! The Onyx wolf must not escape!"

As Serena ran deeper into the unfamiliar forest, her heart pounded with one terrible truth: she was cursed, hunted, and completely alone. But something told her this was just the beginning of a much darker story-one written in the crimson light of the moon that had sealed her fate.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
