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

Pepper was in the middle of training when one of the guards from the pack house came to announce that.

She specifically asked one of her father's men to inform her once Amber had returned.

But when she looked at the wall clock, she found that her friend went home much earlier than expected.

She thought Amber was going to take her sweet time being away from the pack, but for some reason—that didn't happen.

Pepper couldn't help but wonder why.

However, training is still not over, so she's going to have to wait until the two of them meet later.

She nodded at the pack warrior, and muttered her thanks. "Do you know if she has other plans for today? I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch her later. Did you hear if she'd get back to training? I mean, that's so… her."
