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.

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.

But that’s impossible.

A giggle rose from her lips. Despite the two girls raised so differently, she was sure they would get along. 


“You’re a Rogue-Born, too?” Rain asked. 


Britta sobered up, her smile falling from her face. “Yeah,” She nodded, “Keanu's my brother.
