"Why are they doing this?" Ruby asked.

"In case you didn't know, the other effects of Jemma's policy are not only on humans but creatures like ki. Basker Forest was cut in half, and they benefited. Now that Leny is benefiting, they feel cheated." Haris explained.

"What do you know for?" snapped Carren.

She folded her arms across her chest, trying to be as calm as possible. "There's no need to buy time. Since our plan has failed miserably, you better make this thing stop stalking us."

"That's fine! Then, who's responsible for this mess? Your ancestors? Hahaha. After all, they wouldn't be proud of you harming innocent civilians to defend a trivial matter. Anyway, you must be punished and apologize to my father," Ruby demanded, piercing the eardrums of the rioters.

They clenched their fists at that instant, glared, and puffed their chests at the girl. Their stomachs seemed to boil, especially at the trivial words. A house, a place to live, a shelter is a matter of life and death.

    3 Months LaterShades of white combined with soft colors filled the five-star hotel. The twelfth day of the twelfth month, noon, became a historic day for two people who seemed to live in a world of their own. It is a story that has not been easy to get through, but a million emotions have been conquering on this day.This day. The left-wing guest lineup was dominated by the RED-EYEZ and the northern wolf clan that looked like royalty. Notably, Glenn's body was covered by neat shirts and suits, with absolutely no there was no impression of a hooligan, even though his big muscles were poking out from under the case. Barlie was seen, and Thomas mingled with Haris and Shey. Shey looked elegant. She wore a cream-colored medium dress with a tiny flower clasp. On the altar, Jay repeatedly adjusted the ribbon tie, then smoothed the tuxedo to ensure it wouldn't wrinkle. He was having trouble controlling his nerves. Even though there was no hesitation, he was just nervous because today was

    "Shey! Shey! Open the door!" Jay banged on the door as hard as he could. After a few attempts but no answer from Shey, it was Thom's turn to call out to Shey in a rather loud voice. "Why don't we break it down?" Glenn said.Thom turned to the confused Jay. "Right, so we can find out what's happening inside!" "Try calling him again! If he doesn't answer, we'll have to break in." Jay ordered. Thom nodded and tried to call Shey back. After two buzzes, there was no answer. And on the third ring... "Hello, Thom?" "Hello, Shey? Are you home? You're okay. Did something bad happen?" "I'm on my way to the hospital! I'll be there in a minute." Jay breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. Oh yeah, Haris's there! I told him to watch Ruby for a while. If you're not comfortable, tell him to go home." "Haris? What do you mean?" Shey vaguely heard muttering to herself. The situation was even more confusing now. "Hello, Jay? Are you still there? I thought I had to stop by the hospi

    "I'm just learning to walk," I said hoarsely. "LIAR!" Haris became uncontrollable.BUK!DHUAK!DANG! Haris smashed my head repeatedly against the foot of the bed. My body was thrown against the wall. Haris did all this without touching me. I was already weak, a thousand times soft. A desperate cry caught my ear. I felt fresh blood flowing from my temple, down my cheek, with a terrible sting. He stopped, and I still held onto consciousness even though my eyes were almost closed. "This isn't right. I can't let you get away from me. I have to cut off your legs!" I was hearing his threat. My consciousness rose sharply. My eyes widened. I was scared. I was afraid that he would do it. Because he's a crazy psychopath, when he tried to move, I immediately braced myself to pull both his shoulders. I pulled her into my arms. I was holding him tightly while sobbing. His clothes became wet from my crying. "I won't leave. Please, don't. I want to walk beside you. Please." I whimpered. I

    They were delving into the forest with lush trees. Jordan, Thomas, Barlie, and Glenn split up. They hid behind bushes and places they felt were safe. A few minutes earlier, Jordan and the northern pack, minus Shey and Haris, began to enter the island and together maximized their five senses. "Watch out for traps! Watch every step you take. If there's anything suspicious, signal immediately!" Haris ordered. All northern packs simultaneously agreed. Before Jordan finally gave the signal by raising his hand to stop. All northern pack members stopped their steps. Thomas stared at the pile of grass he had almost stepped on. He knelt and rubbed his fingers on the edge of the grass. He felt slippery, "Oil? Is this Oil?" he asked. All the members looked at each other. "Take off your shoes and throw them on the grass. If it's a trap, hide immediately. However, don't be hasty!" Haris instructed. Thomas immediately took off her right shoe and moved backward along with the others. Thomas t

    "If you scream or call out to that clown wolf, I'll make sure the chair supporting your father will topple over, and you can hear his neck being strangled to suffocation." She threatened.I felt a sting as I swallowed. Haris pushed my body inside with him. As one hand slipped off my body and locked the door, I turned around and tried to claw him. Instead, he gripped my neck tightly and turned me around to see his foot ready to roll the chair over with one kick."No. Please, don't. Don't!" I whimpered.I looked into his crescent moon eyes with a pleading look, and Haris returned with his disgusting grin."Come with me, baby." He whispered.As he dragged me past the legs of the hanging corpse to the bathroom, I saw that a ladder had extended upwards and straight through the attic. He forced me to clean up first. I hit my knees on the metal several times as his hand pushed quite hard on my back. We didn't take long to reach the attic before he finally sealed the hole in the bathroom ceil

    "It's either an illusion or Jemma is teleporting," Mr. Jordan said."No. He's here. My eyes saw it. My ears heard his whisper. Jemma seemed to be taunting me, asking me to find him," Ruby fretted."Alright. Calm down first. He might still be around the campus. Let's look for him, or maybe he'll show himself here." Jay let his eyes wander around."Aaargh!" I channeled my frustration by grabbing both sides of my hair. As a result, many strands came out of the bonds. My clips came off. "It's my fault I don't have powers ...."Jay hugged me. "What do you mean? Your powers will come back, don't worry.""No—" I breathed heavily. This feeling of guilt was hard to explain in words. "I... I doubt it... but they've already come... argh!"Jay picked up the scrunchie. His hand reached for my palm. I knew his intentions were sincere, but this leg reflexively retreated and avoided his gaze. I don't know. My mixed feelings rejected his attention.I feel like I'm disappointed in everything, myself. O

    "You're too much! What did you do to Barlie?" screeched Ruby, lunging in front of Jemma, but Jay's arms quickly embraced her body.Ruby was pulled back. Jay was not willing to let Jemma touch Ruby. After all, Ruby was too fragile against the physicality of an adult, no matter how much he wanted to rip the man's face off.A gust of wind whipped up, rattling the tents. The bazaar stalls tumbled in random directions, carried by the wind. Soon, a screeching sound emanated from the speakers, breaking the eardrums of anyone who heard it.Everyone covered their ears. The operator tried to pull out the cable, but the boy in the hat shuddered. Electricity coursed through his body. Suddenly, Ruby, Jay, and Barlie moved away.The students screamed not because they saw someone being electrocuted but because they were going crazy. The high voice evoked emotion. Ego is quickly taken away, and the eyes of the heart are darkened. At that moment, every evil spirit was able to control people.Shey came

    The lace fabric of my cardigan crumpled roughly in time with Barlie's unsteady breathing-reflecting inner turmoil. The slightest wind should have been a sign of my life being taken away. However, I still felt myself slamming to the floor.Barlie roared, forcing me to forget the pain in my tailbone.Suddenly, from behind, Jay wrapped the camera strap around Barlie's neck and choked him. The wolf squirmed. The knife in his hand went into freefall, landing on the side of the guy's ankle. I crawled to my feet, reaching out. The coldness of the metal sank into the skin of my palm. My forefinger slid closer so I could grasp the handle.My legs formed a 90-degree angle."Barlie, sorry!" My thighs and elbows met, lifting my body to half-stand then slashing Barlie's ankle. Red, fishy-smelling liquid splattered my face. However, I ignored it and was busy watching Barlie and Jay.Just as Barlie lost his balance, Jay unhooked the rope and elbowed Barlie in the temple. Instantly, Barlie collapsed,

    Ruby bowed ninety degrees. Though her eyes were fixed on her sand-covered toes, the dark orange shawl's glimpse passed in the breeze. When Ruby straightened up, she was alone—stunned at the moon's reflection. Half of its surface seemed to be bathed in seawater.Ruby wrinkled her watery nose. "That's right. This place is too cold and lonely. It must be boring because you've been alone all your life, Dad."The night wind pierced the surface of Ruby's skin. She rubbed her upper arms, then turned her back to the sea, intending to return to the treehouse. Ruby's gray irises shone as Justin stood up, one leg swaying at an angle. Justin's hands were folded behind his back, waiting for Ruby to face him casually."Uh, you're not sleeping?"Justin walked up to Ruby."Why are you here? Just wait, I want to put—"Who would have thought that Justin was carrying a white fluffy blanket from behind his back? It was stretched out behind Ruby's body, and Justin draped it over the girl's shoulders. The c

    "A secret!" said Ruby with a grin."Wow... you're in a good mood. Witches do look this scary, don't they?" Letta shuddered in horror."No scarier than your boss!" said Ruby, "You still want to side with Madam Jenn? I'm a thousand times better than her. Carl Justin has proven it.""Proved it with what?""A kiss," said Ruby.Letta let out a mocking laugh. "Alright. I'm even more convinced I won't be joining you.""Why?" Ruby's voice rose in disapproval. "The kiss was one of our strategies to escape the pursuit of the adjutant fairies, and just so you know, we succeeded!""And, you confidently came here. Does this mean you're finally turning yourself in?""I told you, I persuaded you to leave Madam Jenn."Letta suddenly walked away from Ruby."Hey! Why did you run away, fierce wolf sister?”Giving up is outside Ruby's life dictionary. Even if failing to negotiate meant there was a hidden path, Ruby just needed to find it.

    Marco and Ravin exchanged tense glances. Rubbing his glasses with the hem of his T-shirt, Ravin glared at Marco; should he stand by or rush Justin and ambush him? But Marco shook his head vaguely. Marco approached Justin flatly. Marco thought that there's no hoof's worth of danger an Omega can pose."Thank goodness you know where you're from," Marco said.Justin's tense look faded. "It looks like the mission failure didn't cause any serious problems. On the contrary, REDCA is suddenly sitting in an important seat at Paramour," Justin said, "did I miss something?"Justin's cheekbones stuck up. His mouth was dry to maintain that stupid smile. Justin didn't care about Marco's answer. He just wanted the question to flick Marco's pride. Omegas were still part of the pack, and Marco treated his pack badly.Marco nodded slowly. "It was my fault for leaving you with that witch. We thought you wouldn't survive."Justin chuckled, shifting his jaw to one side. "You know that's not what I meant,"

    Sterile fluid was poured over the wound. Smoke billowed out. The bleeding stopped, but Ruby grimaced in frustration. Guard Lim's flesh was blackened as if it had been grilled."Eum... I don't think my stomach's in the mood for berries right now," Justin chuckled, twisting his boxy stomach against the nausea.Ruby spread her fingers over Guard Lim's wound. She concentrated on channeling the silver powder. But the powder soaked in quickly, and there was no change. Her energy was drained.Chief Baker slipped his cell phone into the front pocket of his apron. He joined Ruby and Justin after stopping in the corner of the room."My doctor friend is coming in fifteen minutes," Chief Baker explained, "he's sewing up a fairy with a broken wing.""Will he live?" Justin ruffled his loins as he looked worriedly at Guardsman Lim."Judging by the wound... " Chief Baker looked down at Guardsman Lim's wound for a long time.Ruby and Justin exchanged glances, both wondering what he was doing. Justin t

    Heading towards the dining room, Justin kept pulling Ruby's arm backward to slow her down. Justin was determined to keep his distance from Medusa's snakes. In Justin's eyes, their slithering movements were a joke, and the stone statues he passed along the hallway felt like they were about to pounce."Who are they?" Justin asked curiously but didn't dare look at them."The thieves.""You killed them so easily."Medusa took Justin's words as a compliment. Ruby, on the other hand, shook her head. She couldn't figure out what kind of wolf Carl Justin was. Many Omegas in the Asylum acted tough in front of the female patients. However, Carl Justin did not even hide anything, no matter how much he wanted to be recognized."Wow! Cool!" Forget about those annoying snakes. Justin was mesmerized by the many dishes on the round table. There are so many foods like jam bread, egg sausage, fresh mango juice, and the star of the show - roast beef."That's especially for you. We bought it at the 24-ho

    John raised his arms to his chest. "Please." Madam Jenn then took a sip of bittersweet-flavored coffee. "Thank you, this is delightful."John crossed one leg over the other. "Now tell me where my daughter is." "All right, as promised." Madam Jenn took a roll of paper out of her crocodile skin bag. The palm of her hand was so slippery holding the thing that the scroll rolled down John's leg."Oh dear! Sorry!"John's spontaneity as a true gentleman was provoked. He immediately bent down and picked up the coconut leaf-thick scroll of white paper that was meant for him. Just then, Madam Jenn stood up and leaned forward—a light tap on her false nails and a sprinkle of poisonous powder dissolved in John's coffee.Madam Jenn's speed was incredible. It was as if she had been practicing this mission for thousands of years. John swallowed as Madam Jenn retreated to the sofa."Is that for me?" John asked for confirmation.Madam Jenn nodded. "Open it." The golden tape

    A smell had stayed in Justin's nose since he first breathed in with the girl before she fell off the building. Justin stopped in less than two minutes in front of the fallen tree. The sound of breaking branches mixed with a roar, creating a fight noise. Justin watched the fight carefully, waiting for the perfect moment.Right now, Ruby kept avoiding the two wolves that were nearby. There were huge trees that couldn't be knocked down. Ruby attempted to run, but a stunning wolf with white patches around its eyes redirected her. Ruby squeezed her heels together to prevent herself from falling."Cool mask," Ruby exclaimed out of breath. After all, it was hard to leave a wounded woman. "Go away!"The enemy was in view. Birds in the north flew away from the trees, unwilling to roost in the area. Marco let out a roar, startling all the animals in the forest.

    Justin began eating the wrapped sausage, giving Ruby some relief. It would have been better if Justin finished it in one bite, but that's fine - the first bite was large. A few of the air conditioners were turned off. Ruby was hot, so she removed her hat. Her shiny hair looked lovely, but it was difficult for Justin to swallow. Justin stared with puffed-out cheeks. His eyes widened as though gazing at the vastness of the galaxy. Even in the dark, Ruby seemed to shine in Justin's eyes. "What's your name, by the way? I need to write it down.”"Carl Justin," he reluctantly added. "And you?" "Ruby Cassie Liona," she replied. "Nice name." Justin took a slow drink of water, but it didn't make it down his throat, and he coughed. "Ruby—what?""Is there any problem?" Ruby asked. Justin's brightness faded. His thirst persisted. His body felt rigid, making even setting down a bottle to take a sip challenging. REDCA focuses on her - the exact person Madam Jenn seeks. Justin's mind envisions a

    "Don't go out too often. The Caretakers might catch on," complained Dino. "Oh, come on! Just today. I'll miss dinner, but could you please help me out?" Ruby complained, "The boiled potatoes are just for you. Dealing with patients all day must tire you out." "Where are you even going?" "Today, burning of my mother," she said. Dino's eyes lit up. His sympathy faded, and he felt a twinge of remorse. "Even though I never saw my mother's face, I still...." "Miss her. Yes, you say that every year, and I'm sorry I forgot," Dino regretted. "Don't apologize for being senile. It's natural." "No, I am not!" With a laugh, Ruby replied to Dino's warning, promising to wake him up earlier than the senior officers. Earlier than the senior officers. "I promise!" Ruby said, waving her slender fingers gracefully. "Now it's time for you to get sleep."Anthony Dino fell asleep during a daydream induced by Ruby.
