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

Amber couldn't sleep a wink after the announcement that the Gamma Chief had made last night.

She's usually not one who lets her anticipation of something gets the best of her.

But when she learned that the mission type they were going to handle this time was a joint one, goosebumps spiked up all over her skin.

If this mission requires at least six persons to work on it, then its premise has got to be more demanding than the previous one, right?

Amber is getting a weird feeling about this…

She never felt this thrilled about attending an orientation before.

Amber looked at herself in the mirror. The dark circles that shadowed her eyes were prominent. Everyone would be able to tell that she hadn't had a good sleep, and that would be embarrassing…!

Especially if she's the only person who's hyped up over a collaborative mission.
