After an Alpha has given up looking for their mate, and they need a Luna to help run the pack, they will organise an event known as The Whipping. Female volunteers from packs around the country will put themselves forward if they wish to be in the chance of becoming a Luna. These she-wolves would be whipped in front of all the packs, again and again until their backs were red raw and blood covered. The last female remaining would be given the title of Luna as the Alpha would only want the strongest wolf to help run his pack. Most wolves gave up and quit as they couldn't take the pain, but some head-strong females would go until they were no longer breathing. It was an ugly tradition, from years ago. I had never heard of one happening in this day and age...until that day... Until I met him... On the day of The Whipping...

There was the ghostly presence that spoke to her at night, begging for her help; the frequent, violent murders that seemed linked to Walter Barrington; and the feeling she had that this family needed her, that she was the only one that could help them.

After escaping her previous pack and brainwashed, now rejected mate, her task is both to keep her pack of rogues alive long enough to clear their names and establish as an official pack, and to hunt down her brother's killer. Keeping her identity a secret since she and her inner circle are wanted, she and her pack of rogues make their way towards the Elder base where they can appeal to become an official pack with their own land. On the way to that goal is where she locates her brother's killer. Intending to get revenge quietly doesn't go so well when she raids the same group of rogues another pack is after, and learns the Luna of the pack is one of the Elders who has a say in whether or not her pack becomes official. Beta Ben's fated mate was brutally murdered in front of him years ago.

It's never been difficult for him until his pack, Blood Moon, raids a group of rogues and finds they aren't the only ones raiding. The leader of the raid is Red, a woman that manages to awaken a part of him he believed died with his mate. Blood Moon pack takes in the group of rogues with the intent to help clear Red's name and have them presentable to The Elders as a viable pack with strong leaders. As Red's pack and Ben's pack mingle, the two of them encounter each other daily.
