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

Based on Trent's story, Cataleya was the one who had been so critical of Amber tonight. It was clear that she intentionally wanted to start a fight.

Or… she could be gauging how Amber would react, too.

Anyhow, her motives can't be mistaken in this case.

Cataleya has a passion for disciplining those who are beneath her, and… Amber was a new face to the training grounds.

Severus could only hope Cataleya wasn't thinking something as silly as 'hazing'.

Everything will be confirmed once she regains consciousness. The operation lasted for hours, with the pack doctor saying that there was a possibility that Cataleya wouldn't be able to talk normally afterward.
