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

Woodridge Academy is bustling as it finally releases an announcement regarding the results of the students' quarterly exams.

Students anxiously gathered in front of the school's bulletin board to check their names, and current rankings. Another thing is, official grades won't be posted to avoid facing social isolation, and discrimination.

Rankings are divided into three categories: theoretical, practical, and overall.

Students who excel theoretically are those who usually get nearly-perfect exam scores, and represent the student body in quiz bee competitions. It goes without saying that the names included on the list, rarely move their rankings.

Meanwhile, practical exams are a whole lot different from the former.
