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

    Jay's warning raises two presumptions. Either he prevented Ruby from moving because of his pride, or Jay was good at guessing Haris' strategy, who could attack at any time. Therefore, keeping the distance is the best step.As expected, the target changed. The tip of Haris' shoe kicked Jay's stomach before finally holding Ruby in his arms. Even though she struggled as if she wanted to be free, Haris knew that what Ruby was asking for was the opposite. The veins in Haris' arms popped out, pressing on Ruby's chest, leaving almost no room for breathing."Good work. Now, throw my body on the table. As hard as possible until it breaks.""What?"Their telepathy is suspended in doubt.“I managed to get the key we needed. Eliminate my traces."Jay stood up, rattling his bones."You better let her go, or I'm calling a mental hospital," Jay threatened.“So your date continues? That's good; it gives me an idea of what to do.” Haris laughed.“Stop playing around! I still have a lot to do! What do

    "If that woman is an only child, then who is the man who went with Ruby?"Jay's index finger skinned the dry skin of his thumb. His thighs shook up and down as fast as thoughts formed strange conclusions.Jay felt like he was missing something.Ruby.Would he have been fooled from the start? Jay memorized every word the woman said."He must be someone sent by a gang of attackers and trying to make us scapegoats."The male wrestler never revealed his identity as part of the gang; Ruby made Jay believe so. Even if Ruby was guessing because of her cleverness in piecing together the clues of the poison gas, the strange man, and the attacker—Jay felt awkward.It was as if he was being dragged into someone else's scenario. Moreover, the short fight just now was started by a deceptive lie. How stupid Jay was not to check the truth in the first second, as soon as the story began, precisely when Ruby rushed towards him in fear.It was a too-contrasting change. Ruby, who was initially afraid, s

    "Jayden Gavian, what are you actually thinking?"The mini wheels that supported the chair shook, lifting one side due to the passenger's kneeling. Jay's feet strengthened his footing so he wouldn't topple over. The white sclera of his eyes was almost too late to return the pupil to the center. Luckily, the sunshine helped wake up the nerves.As Jay remembers, a dark blue sky enveloped the city when he returned to the office. Suddenly, a new day has begun."Wait, don't tell me you didn't take the anti-drowsiness pill?""Give me one." Jay turned his palms up.Jay swallowed the orange pill that James had swallowed, then staggered to the cupboard, drinking a bottle of blood. "Ah, so fresh.""Jay?""We're at the office." Jay warned James about his attitude."Yes, I mean, Mr Director. Tell me the whole chronology. I missed a lot of things, especially the reason you allowed the laboratory to be broken into, you were drunk, right?""No," Jay dismissed, packing his things, "who cares about a l

    The police investigation produced somewhat dull results. An armed gang robbed a villa. Based on the feathers found, a wolf played a role in paralyzing the perpetrators.The case was declared administratively closed, and Jay agreed. With the conclusion, the perpetrators were all killed by wild animals. Another strong reason is that they found no trace of escape outside the area.The official organization restricted Jay's movements. They are rigid, holding on to rules, often defeated by the cunning of reason. Jay came to the villa with James a week after completing the investigation. He removed the police line and briefly looked at the main room, which was the crime scene."Wow, you are really lucky. How can the wolf find the right time?" James pinched a piece of black feather that accidentally appeared on the mattress."Well, he's always with me.""What? Don't tell me you keep animals? Not a dog, but a wolf?""It's no use keeping dogs, in the end I make them into snacks."Jay casually

    "It turns out it wasn't me," Luna whispered, "the one you should be biting.""Anna, he's drunk. Should-""None of your business!" Anna snapped. Unable to hold back her tears, her legs spun, and she walked quickly.Ruby sighed, looking at Anna and Glenn alternately. She felt trapped between Alpha and Luna's stories. On average, their stories are intimate and warm in romance stories created by humans' dreams. The Alphas honourably bite into the figure they wish to become Luna; the companion figure reflects graceful strength.Glenn had bitten Anna. The bite mark was black in a circle at the back of his neck. To make the sign visible, Anna maintained blonde hair, often parted in two. He showed it on purpose, especially to Ruby.It's a shame that Ruby can't figure out where the romance lies between them.Alpha, who was silent, was confined, and Luna, who was crying."Glenn, come on. Don't change your cool story like a loser." Ruby nuzzled against the nodding man.***"Are you sure this is

    Two violinists with beautiful buns stroked the bow gracefully. Their long fingers circled the neck of the viola while one relaxed finger pressed on the second string. The Bes' central tone echoed dramatically, signalling the start of the dating party.Jayden joined the two beautiful women on the inner balcony.“Dear guests, I am Jayden Gavian as Master House say, welcome to Victorian Love Night!”Jay held up a glass of wine and was immediately greeted with applause.“First of all, I want to thank you for your efforts in finding true love. What's more, entrusting Vousme as a bridge of destiny. In this fast-paced era, I understand the concerns of those of you who feel you have to compete, even for matters of the heart. But tonight, in this warm place, I hope you enjoy the time with your chosen one.

He dedicated his entire body to holding Ruby, pulling her even though she was rolling on the tiles.For a moment, the party reached the peak of chaos.

    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. 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.
