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 other side of the forest, Rain and her band of rogues moved swiftly through the forest. Rain ran through the forest beside the wolves, unable to shift herself but fast enough to keep up. 


Out of the remaining rogues, only nine were able to follow her to the battlefield. Underaged and the injured stayed behind to not slow them down. 


Besides Raph and Britta, only a few others ran by her side. 


Griffin, the man whose mate had been slaughtered for being from a different pack. Despite his fear of blood and trauma, he had been the second to volunteer. 


Alaska, a woman who’d lost her child at her mate’s hands and killed her mate in revenge. 


Scout, a Rogue-Born like she, but younger than her. Rogue-Born’s don’t know their ages so it’s hard to tell but due to his spirit, Rain allowed him to come with them. 


Indigo, an older woman with a chip on her shoulder, one whose fascination with human trinkets led to her exile.
