Not every wolf is lucky enough to be born into a pack.

Some had the misfortune to be birthed by rogues.

Banished from the shifters society, Rogues are branded as criminals and treated as less than. Cut off from their packs, most barely last a few years before losing their minds as well.

Rogues-borns are different. Born to savage creatures with no humanity left in their cursed souls, they have no family to mourn, no sins to repent, nothing to lose.

Alpha's decreed all Rogue-borns to be killed on sight, for the protection of the packs.

But Rain isn’t a threat. She was just born unlucky.

Forced into the life of a scavenger on the streets, begging for food from human scraps and always searching for a place to call home.

Until one day, she wanders too far into the forest on the edge of the city.

There, she meets the Ashwood Pack and their Alpha, Orion.

Mate, he says.

But that’s impossible.

“Jax, take Hugo to Dr. Lewis immediately. Connor, take the best fighters,” Rain ordered.


“Yes, Luna,” Jax and Connor both nodded.


“Liana, take Accalia and gather those who can’t fight. Children, pregnant women, elders, take them to…” Rain hesitated. 


“There’s a safe house underneath the Main packhouse,” Liana said, “We’ll take them there.”


“Dr. Lewis needs help to treat the wounded, anyone can who please make your way over there. Warriors who aren’t going to the border, make sure to guard the packhouse," Rain commanded. “Tell anyone who isn’t here what’s going on.”
