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

The Moon peeked through the dark clouds that hid her eyes from the world. Her light bared down at the small figure running through the blood-soaked battle. Her bare feet slip on the grass, wet strands of hair cling to her face, and her body shivers from the cold winds caressing her drenched body. 


She does not cower from the flash of lightning. She does not flinch from the boom of the thunder. She does not hide from the rain that falls. She is the Catalyst and she is the Finale. 


She tears across the field like the storm that she is, ignoring the rest of the world, her sights set only on the beating of her heart. 


The great beast looms over the fighting, its red eyes locked on its target. The skinny brown wolf continues to hide, dodging its looming teeth to feed its ever-growing kill count. Like the coward he is. 


But with the evacuation, there is nowhere to hide any longer.
