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

Salt stood by the patio, and watched his surroundings with a bored expression.

He wasn't supposed to do this party along with his twin sister, but in the end—he was powerless against her plea and desperation.

Considering Pepper's easygoing personality, there shouldn't be a significant reason behind her aim to host a birthday celebration. He wasn't sure whether or not he should be thankful that Alpha Severus granted them his permission to invite other werewolves over to his pack.

More often than not, this kind of party wasn't allowed for the intrusion of non-pack members might compromise the safety of all. That was an ironclad rule among many packs, and River Severn was no exception.

Though Salt said that he'd try inviting some of his friends, the truth was, he didn't bother.

He got no time to look after those rowdy bunch, too.
