"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. Letta's steps led Ruby to the edge of the savanna. Tension immediat
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
Walles Town Center is endlessly busy, and the heaviest traffic occurs at dawn. Jayden Gavian pushed his black hat even further to cover his red hair and bangs that pierced his eyes.The sound of the pedestrian bridge marking was active, provoking a brief smile from the tall, long-legged man.Jay has the perfect proportions that male models who grace magazine covers usually have the ‘Men of The Year’ title. Unfortunately, he believes everything that flashes is annoying, such as the blinkers. One of the reasons Jay thinks his choice to do activities under the sun is the right thing, even if it's against the rules.While carrying the bag, Jay took a step—slower than the busy beats of other humans around him. Every time he passed them, Jay puffed up his chest. He solemnly inhaled the air that swirled around his nose, attaching a scent. Occasionally, he licked his lips.Interesting. Humans always apply fragrance under the ears, especially the neck.For Jay, it was like the smell of melting
Anna's awkward laughter started a tense atmosphere in the car. Haris automatically kept his mouth shut; it felt like he was on the verge of a dangerous conflict between women."I appreciate your sacrifice for us. I like that idea, too. Come on, let's do our best?”“Anna, if you're hoping I'll date a vampire guy, don't bother helping me. It is impossible. But it is far more impossible for my relationship with Glenn to be as you fear."Silence fell until the sound of wheels scraping the asphalt. Ruby no longer waited for an answer. It didn't matter. What was important was that he felt he had done something so that Anna's anxiety would disappear."Actually—”Anna's voice stopped Ruby's grip on the door handle."I sincerely hope for your success," continued Anna.Ruby sighed with a faint smile, then turned her head. "Okay. Pick me the prettiest red dress.”***The curtain parted, revealing another queen from the rest. Eliminate the words elegant, charming, and polite from the dictionary.
It felt like a giant hammer had fallen from the sky and stuck straight into Ruby's heart.She hurriedly hid her knuckles under the table, squeezing her dress. A wolf's nails will lengthen when it faces a threat."What do you mean? What kind of ridiculous statement is that?” Ruby's words added a chuckle. She searched longer for the meaning behind Jay's mysterious gaze."I mean, I know that blue-eyed humans are scarce, and I have to say yours is the prettiest," said Jay.Only then did Ruby's nails shrink. Ruby breathed a sigh of relief while Jay pulled himself back into his seat.“Why do you look tense, darling?”“Because of your… flattery? And, we are rather intimate, too.” Rubi was half honest, half evasive. Next, ask the question back."How about you? Are your eyes red? Are you wearing eye lenses or a vampire?”A boomerang. Ruby hugged, proud of her bright idea.“Vampire?” Jay laughed. “You like watching movies, don't you? What a cute girl!”A vampire's pinch is similar to a crab's
Jay's wild hands provoked Ruby into submission. The target was to make Ruby sigh and surrender to looking up, thus opening up Jay's path even more.Ruby couldn't help but feel the pleasure of those touches.Memories of the hardships her clan had gone through came flooding back. The wolf cubs are afraid whenever humans are strangers. The herd worked extra hard, missed their prey, and faced humans who often caused commotion. Ruby poured out a little of her hidden strength, pushing Jay inside while continuing to crush.What's wrong with this woman? She wouldn't budge, Jay thought. His adrenaline increased, and he was challenged to turn things around. Jay's hand skillfully slipped between Ruby's thighs, creating the effect of fluttering butterfly wings on her stomach.Jay didn't waste this opportunity. He succeeded in stuffing his mouth into Ruby's neck while lifting the girl's body and throwing her straight onto the bed. However, Jay also fell helplessly.Nightshade coursed through the v
A small thump ushered in the passing of Jay's big sister. Such is the effect that will never change for Jay.“Amora really represents a true doctor, right? I hope you often thank her from now on.”Instead of occupying the slim-legged chair next to the bed, Jay plopped his butt down on the edge of the mattress. Ruby's legs closed reflexively, worried about touching a sensitive area and making strange assumptions. Her task now was to react like a human girl. The fragile side is an additional point: let Jay think in control. Remember to sharpen your claws.The rules of disguise came to mind, and miraculously, Haris' voice came into view."It seems what happened last night really shook you," Jay said gloomily."I'd better thank you for the terrible date, Mr. Jayden Gavian," said Ruby curtly.“I understand your anger, Miss. I apologize."“Is your company okay?” Ruby went straight to the point she wanted to hear."How do you know?" Jay asked again with a frown.“Yeah… because they said they
The thud of knees kneeling on the side of the bed awakened Shey's consciousness. After a while, the convulsions got worse. Luckily, Barlie sped up and immediately drank the potion. Shey's muscles relaxed while Ruby's grip strengthened.“What happened to her? What happened to Baskerville?” Ruby wondered, looking at her friends one by one.Everyone threw gloom: Haris, Barlie, and finally, Glenn.Wait. Ruby was stunned. No wonder their situation was utterly shrouded in silence. She lost one friend, who should be the most noisy now."Where's Thomas?"Shey's pale lips trembled, letting out a thin sob. She pulled one arm up, covering both eyes.“We'd better talk outside. Soon, the influence of the drug will make her fall asleep," said Barlie.Ruby's heart sank, and her feet tripped. She wanted to wait for Shey's crying to subside, to hear the complaints and problems that seemed to center on her—feelings of guilt creep in. Ruby should have postponed her date, finalized her plans longer, and

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. Birds in the north flew away from the trees, unwilling to roost in the area. Despite this, Marco remained unfazed on his four legs. Th
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. However, Dino felt slightly content in this situation. Tonight, Ruby allowed him to wa
