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.

Britta sent her a pitying look. “It was only a matter of time before they found out what we were doing. Saving Rogues, people they had discarded, and us, the abominations. They attacked every chance they got. Pretending their territory was larger than it actually was so they could justify pushing out. Slaughtering as many of us as we could.”


“Without a warning?” Rain asked, horrified. 


She clenched her fists, anger burning in her eyes. “They claimed we were stealing food, chasing off prey from their territory. But it was just an excuse. Keanu tried to talk to them, to solve this without violence but they wouldn’t listen.”


“But why?” Rain demanded, “Why would they do that?”
