ASHES OF AMBITION

Beta Johnson sat in his damp cell, pondering the time that had gone by since Alpha Grey died. The wavering glow from the lone torch mounted on the wall created elongated, moving shadows that appeared to taunt him.

At one time, he was a proud and esteemed member of the Greywolf Pack, but his ambition had taken him on a negative journey. His longing to be the Alpha had taken over him, leading him to betray the leader he had once admired.

Who wouldn't dream of becoming the leader of the wealthiest group in Silverwood Falls?" he muttered to himself, his words bouncing off the chilly stone walls. The nearby Alphas were jealous of Alpha Grey, especially Nathaniel Blackwood from the Blackmoon pack, who had waged war against the Greywolf pack in an attempt to seize control.
