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

Amber's radiographic examination is surprisingly… unremarkable.

Her wolf genes helped her heal quickly each time she put a dislocated bone back in place. The pack doctor, however, wasn't happy with what she did.

It only takes one human error to cause additional injuries to it, and it would be a real problem if she were to suffer from a permanent disability for pushing herself to go on even after that debilitating experience.

What the pack doctor simply saying is… health comes first before everything else.

Amber should have tapped out of the match the moment she was able to confirm that Cataleya had been deliberately targeting her bone structure.

Maybe the others were thinking that the squad leader was just trying to make it seem fun to look at—but what they didn't know was, it could result to a more devastating damage in the future.
