In the foothills of Mt. Rainier is xthe town
of Rosebay. Once a logging town, it's been
shrinking xfor years, xwith xthe xyounger
generations xmoving xout xinto xcities xin
search of better prospects. xYou left, too.

Well, things didn't work out. That big job,
relationship, or college x—x it's in the past
now. You're coming home, to the town you
shouldxhave left for good xmany years be-
fore youxactually got the chance. xBut it's
just temporary: you're coming to get your
bearings, xto catchxyour breath, xmaybe
do xsomexself-discovery xon those xhiking
trails you remember — alongside a number
of other mantras you've been repeating to
yourself on the bus ride over.xYou have no
intentions of actually staying.

So why does the land seem to be calling out
to you, like it knows your blood?

You never knew,xbut youxwere
bornxwith xwolf bloodxinxyour
veins. xNowxthatxyou'rexback
home,xsomethingxis xchanging
under your skin.xAnd the local
pack xhasxits xeyes xon you —
quite xliterally. xThey've xsent
some xof xtheir xmembersxto
watch out for their lost blood,
hoping to truly bring you home.

The packxis woven into xthe very fabric of
the town: xits membersxhold many roles in
Rosebay, xare known by xits people only as
fellow townfolk, xand, xwith perhaps a few
exceptions among its rebellious young, hold
the town dear xand only wish to see it kept
safe from harm.
As xthese xunknowing xwolf-bloodedx have
crossed the border into the town, its as if
a shudder has passed over the pack.xThey
know who these new arrivals are, but they
can't knowxfor certain what might happen
as their xtransformations xgrow closer.xIn
order to guarantee the safety of everyone,
town and wolves alike, the pack has tasked
some of its xmembers withxkeeping an eye
on an arrival,xeach with their own ward to
watch over. They are to soon attempt form-
ingxa meaningful xconnection,xto gain their
trust before the pack will reveal itself, and
to xanchor them xduringxwhat is xto come.
