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?

"It's not camped by witches," Salt retorted calmly. His sister really likes exaggerating things, that's why watching too much dramas may affect one's judgment.

Since not much is known about Talgar, people can't help but speculate. That's what writers and directors do. They use their imagination to come up with something, and Pepper has probably watched a drama which names Talgar as one of its settings.

"Hey, I know that look! You're doubting me, aren't you? You're thinking that I've watched a drama about witches, and that references Talgar as the center of origin!"

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Your words—not mine." It should be common sense that the pack wouldn't allow a newbie group like them to go to such a dangerous place if all the rumors had a proper basis.

However, rumors are just… rumors.

Without sufficient evidence, rumors are just a product of the human mind.
