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?

Everyone in the table had a 'I see it now' look on their faces when they realized that Amber was coming down to join the table tonight.

When was the last time that they ate together?

Without her, Alpha Severus had been snappy, and everybody was afraid to share their thoughts over dinner because they saw him as a ticking bomb.

They had to constantly watch out for things that would come out of their own mouths.

Pepper pinched her brother on his thigh to contain her excitement. Did Amber finally come around?
