Pain obliterates fear.

Amber Santiago is the youngest and the only pack warrior who’s survived the annihilation of the Great Santiago Clan twelve years ago, and the West Crescent Pack is now under the command of a new Alpha who’s taken her under his wing due to her tragic past.

Every year, the Werewolf King officiates an event—one that urges everyone to show how capable they are; a battle where strength, willpower, and mental toughness are being measured methodically. Amber plans to join the match as she enters the age of legality.

The task is simple.

Execute the person who’s named on the letter, and the Werewolf King will grant one of your wishes.

There’s no need to feel remorse because all of the listed names are death-row prisoners—criminals who have committed heinous crimes in their lives. The only catch is, both fighters won’t be given a handicap.

If you lose, you die.

Will Amber succeed on her way up? If she does, what could be her wish?

The Flower that Blooms in the Moonlight

Pepper and friends anxiously waited outside the clinic.

Amber was sent straight to the place for her condition to be looked over by a physician—and of course, upon the order of the Alpha.

Pepper couldn't sit still as she forced herself to stay, and watch earlier.

Amber's attacks were rendered useless, while her defense pregnable. It was a fight against a squad leader after all. She knows that her friend is a highly-skilled person, but she's still young, and has to gain more experience to stay undefeated.

However, an unexpected outcome occurred.

Before they knew it, Amber won the spar, and overcame yet another barrier to success.

The wolves of River Severn never question success. It's proof to one's aptitude that allows everyone to catch a glimpse of that person's future.

How long will she survive in the wild?

Can she hold her ground in the face of strong adversities?
