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.

When it rains

On the edge of a hill, in a neutral zone in the middle of a forest, two sides of men and women stand ready. 


At the very front, in the equal distance stood six tall figures. Behind them, hundreds of men and women dressed in battle armor, bodies painted in various colors, all waiting. 


On the other side of the area, the Rogues faced them. Dangerous, mad, weapons clenched in their hands. They were clearly outnumbered but their leader was relaxed. 


“Hello,” Keanu waved with a smile at the Alphas. He walked to meet the Alpha’s in the middle, leaving his warriors behind as any good leader would. “What a beautiful day.”


“You son of a b-” Alpha Leon is the first to speak, snarling as he steps forward. He was blocked by a cool hand on his chest, cutting him off. 


Alpha Titan looked down at him cooly, unaffected, “Yes.”


“It’s going to rain,” Alpha Indra stated, looking at the clear skies. 


“Shut up, you old coot,” Alpha Roan snorted. “There’s not a cloud in the sky.”
