A gripping near-future sci-fi short story exploring humanity's dangerous ambition.
In the snowy wilderness of Yellowstone National Park, veteran ranger Ezra has spent years observing and protecting the majestic wolf packs that roam the landscape. But when reports of strange behavior among his beloved wolves coincide with sightings of enormous, unnatural creatures, Ezra soon discovers a terrifying truth:
Genetically-engineered predators have escaped into the wild, and they're not just hunting—they're organizing.
Caught in a deadly confrontation between nature and humanity's hubris, Ezra and his team must confront creatures far smarter and stronger than anything they've ever faced. Survival demands not only bravery but a chilling choice: kill or be killed.
"Alpha" is a gripping short story blending heart-pounding suspense with chilling speculative fiction. Perfect for fans of techno-thrillers and eco-horror, this story will leave you questioning just how far humanity should push nature before nature pushes back.
