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?

No matter what Sir Brandon's reason for going over their table is, she's thankful from the bottom of her heart.

By the looks of it, Sean is not yet done with his questioning.

Amber has been praying for their interaction to be over.

Because she will excuse herself afterward, and find someplace tranquil to catch a break.

She couldn't blame Pepper for leaving her side because it was she who suggested to go karaoke with her classmates.

After learning that she already came home, Pepper rushed back to the pack house, and came to check on her. The birthday girl wanted to confirm with her eyes if she was really in her room, getting ready for the party.

And when they went to the garden, Pepper stuck by her side for almost half an hour.
