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

At the end of the day, Amber still holds the right to decline invitations as she pleases.

River Severn tried to suppress the information regarding Amber's match, but it looked like not all their pack members hadn't been so cooperative.

At Woodridge, only a select few had heard the details—and thankfully, those students were still not sure whether or not the rumor was true.

Not a single wolf from River Severn has spoken openly about it, after all.

Nevertheless, the Taekwondo Club was more than thrilled to hear that Amber Santiago could be a prospective club member. In the past, many clubs had tried pushing their luck, and going after her, but she was elusive.

Her dedication to kickboxing is something else.

Amber has given them the impression that nothing is going to change her mind.
