SHADOW OF THE ALPHA
Author: LONNIE LEE
The Detective

Detective Michael Collins stood in front of the dimly lit crime scene, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. With his rugged appearance and an air of determination, he was known among his colleagues as one of the most astute detectives on the force.

As Michael surveyed the crime scene, his partner, Detective Sarah Thompson, approached him. Sarah was a skilled investigator in her own right, known for her no-nonsense attitude and unwavering dedication to justice.

"Another gruesome one, huh?" Sarah remarked, her voice laced with concern. "What are we dealing with here, Michael?"

Michael's gaze focused on the mutilated body before him. "There's something different about this, Sarah," he replied, his voice low and filled with a mixture of intrigue and apprehension. "I can sense a presence of darkness that's not of this world."

Sarah raised an eyebrow, her scepticism evident. "You mean your 'gift'?"

Michael nodded. "Yes, my gift. I can feel it. There's an energy lingering here, something supernatural. This wasn't just an animal attack."

Sarah sighed, crossing her arms. "Michael, I've always respected your instincts, but sometimes they take us down strange paths. Are you sure you're not reading too much into this?"

"I understand your doubts, Sarah," Michael said, his tone earnest. "But trust me, there's more to this case than meets the eye. I've seen it before and felt it before. This isn't a random act of violence. It's calculated."

Sarah glanced at him, her expression softening. "Alright, Michael. I'll trust your gut on this one. But we need evidence, concrete proof, to back up your claims."

A glimmer of determination flickered in Michael's eyes. "I won't rest until I find that evidence, Sarah. We owe it to the victims."

Together, they examined the crime scene, meticulously collecting samples, taking photographs, and interviewing witnesses. Michael's acute senses allowed him to pick up on subtle details that others might overlook, while Sarah provided her sharp analytical skills to piece together the puzzle.

As they worked side by side, the camaraderie between them grew stronger, forged through countless hours spent on challenging cases. Their shared dedication to justice created a bond that transcended scepticism and embraced the possibility of something extraordinary.

With each passing moment, Michael became more convinced that his gift was not a burden but a powerful tool that could help them solve the unsolvable. And as they delved deeper into the investigation, the shadow of the alpha loomed larger, waiting to be unveiled and confronted.

United in purpose, Michael and Sarah embarked on a journey that would test their resolve, unravel ancient secrets, and force them to confront the darkness that lurked within their city. Little did they know that the path they had chosen would lead them to the precipice of a supernatural war one they were determined to win.
