Riftan resumed his meal while I froze. I could not even move my utensils to dine. Wariness won over me while locking my eyes on the Alpha, who spoke to me like I was a fish baited to land.
"It was only a coincidence that she had planned to make me one of her newest targets," Riftan replied. "But unfortunately, They captured her just as she reached the base. She was already weakened by snow and her illness."
I grit my teeth at Riftan.
How dare he talk about my illness in front of everyone else?

RUBY VERMILLIONWhat's taking him so long?I had already finished my meal, and I still couldn't spot him anywhere. If I leave this place and escape, I swear that it would be his fault. I looked around me, trying to catch a glimpse of his silhouette in the surroundings. But all I see were Weres on their beautiful suits and dresses.Riftan is a tall man with unusual white hair, so spotting him would be easy. I just don't understand why I am not seeing him right now."Hey there," a woman whispered to me. I turned my head aside and realized she was one of the table's Lunas. I gently arched my head and bowed at her in respect.I can't make too funny movements. I must remain pleasant because if these Weres ever found me disrespectful, they would break my bones and feed on them."What's your name?" she asked. "My name is Stella.""It's Ruby," I responded to her and smiled. "Ruby... you have a very beautiful name. It befits you perfectly.""Thank you," I responded to her. "Yours too. It so

Riftan and I hurried back to the inn, our clothes drenched because of the snow. He opened the door and I stepped inside. I threw my shoes on the corner and aimed straight for the bathroom. Riftan was left in the bedroom, taking off his clothes and reaching out to a nearby dresser to get some spare clothes.I opened the bathroom door and peeked at him. Riftan's body was just out of this world. He had a perfect body shape. Lean chest, broad back, chiseled abdomen. His wet hair adding more to the beauty of hi

RUBY VERMILLIONRiftan and I walked toward the taverns, our steps echoing the tension between us. After last night’s strange encounter, we’ve been avoiding each other, unsure if that kiss was a dream or reality. The memory was too fuzzy.This morning, I found Riftan pacing the room, his restlessness stirring the floorboards. Irritated, I threw a pillow at him. He stopped, wide-eyed, scratched his nape, and then turned away, avoiding my gaze. I wasn’t sure if he was embarrassed, but I wasn’t taking the blame—it was his kiss on my forehead, after all.Riftan pointed to a busy, run-down shack. “Shall we eat here?”“Sure,” I mumbled.As soon as we stepped inside, the tavern fell silent. All eyes were on us, particularly on me. Riftan remained indifferent, but I could feel the weight of their stares, the whispers that followed us.“Isn’t she the assassin who killed our brethren?”“Why did Lord Dreyar let her into the camp?”Their words didn’t hurt me anymore. I’d been through enough.“Rift

I could see Riftan’s composure slipping, his hand twitching as he forced himself to eat. I stayed silent, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks."Haha, my bad, Riftan, I was just explaining why you wouldn’t let her drink.""That’s not the reason!" Riftan gritted his teeth. "At least… that’s not the reason.""Then what is it?" Dreyar provoked. "Why are you so adamant?""I-I think we should stop here," I whispered, feeling Riftan’s embarrassment. "It would be bad if he got mad at me."Dreyar chuckled, ignoring me. "Zen, let the woman make her own decisions. She follows her king."Dreyar’s words dripped with malice, and Riftan’s glare intensified,"Stop provoking me, Hector," he warned. "I don’t appreciate you mentioning his name.""Kinh Ydrian Hezel," Dreyar continued with a smirk, "The Great King of Hezel.""You know him?" I asked, curious."Everyone knows the Great King," Dreyar whispered, his eyes gleaming. "Watch me piss Zen off by saying his name over and over again."He cleared his th

Riftan lay on the couch, eyes heavy from the alcohol. I chuckled as his head hit the cushions with a soft thud. Poking him did nothing—he was out cold."Weakling," I muttered, amused. Who knew one mug of beer could knock him out so easily?As I stared at him, a dark thought crept into my mind. Kill him now.The voices in my head told me.I could end him, use the lamp to stab him... But then what? I'd be hunted before I even got back to the palace."No," I breathed, shaking my head. "It's not the time. Don't mess this up."Taking a deep breath, I crouched and lifted his arm over my shoulder, dragging him to the bed. He groaned in his sleep as I tucked him in."Let's get you to bed," I whispered, more to myself than him. He was out for the count. I had the whole day to myself, and an unsettling memory of Dreyar’s offer lingered in my mind. Evening came, and Riftan still hadn't stirred. I watched the golden clock tick away the hours, then sighed. Waiting for him to wake up wasn’t an opt

Run. I sprinted across the snow, trying to get back to the inn. I regretted my decision to meet with Sir Dreyar. Everything became much more worse!I could see the door from our room. I reach out to it and opened the door. I went inside and locked it behind me, and then took the time to breathe some air.'He was just toying with you. None of that matters now.

ZEN RIFTANMy body felt so heavy.I remember waking up in a vast flowerbed of daisies and dandelions. The warm sun gently bestowing me with its ethereal light. As my irises focused to grasp my surroundings, I slowly lifted my self up and probed around.I remember this place.Where was I exactly? What was I doing? How did I end up being there?All of those, I can remember.

"Sir?!"I felt a cold hand grasp me. My eyes instantly opened as balls of sweat streamed down from my face.There was a woman before me, holding a mop on her other hand.My breathing became uneven, I gasp for air as I sat straight."You were having a nightmare, Sir." A nightmare.That's right.It was only a nightmare. It isn't real. Nothing is.

ZEN RIFTANI had left Ruby to the doctor to mend her wounds.I wiped the blood that dried on my cheek with a cloth. Hector drew near and shook his head while clicking his tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. This gathering was a disaster.""I shouldn't have come here. Every year, this gathering of yours always turns out like this.""Last year wasn't so bad." he pouted and sighed. "How is Ruby doing?""I don't know."I didn't know that she was in danger a while ago.When we were in the meeting, a servant barged inside and told us of the terrible attack. The conference was immediately canceled and the involved Alphas rushed into the scene itself, including me.Had that servant not told us, we would've not escalated the situation in time.Panic clouded my soul as I made my way to meet the woman. I knew how destructive she could be, when triggered. She would not hesitate to bring down anyone that pisses her off. He
Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series) Don't Touch Her
Thick, bright red liquid ran through my arm as the blade pierces against my right shoulder.Memories rushed through my head as my body stiffened.'Is this it? Am I finally going to die?'I fell to the floor, my eyes slowly shutting-convincing me to give in to the hands of death."Ruby!""Lady Stella, stay back!" the guards leaped in front of her and readied their lance at the stray rogue who wore a bright yellow outfit.At first, I thought: 'He must be a complete idiot to wear such a bright color in open places like these. Surely he would be caught.'"Ruby!" I felt the woman's touch as she cradled me into her arms. Tears streamed down her cheek as she ripped the portion of her beautiful dress to cover my wound. "Stay with us, Ruby!"It was painful.The pain I felt was too painful.Any moment and I am sure I would see the grim reaper standing before me to collect my soul.Any moment, and I
Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series) Wavering Heart
"Ruby, I want you to know that not all of us Weres are bad people. There might be some who had the chance to consume human flesh, but there are other packs like mine who doesn't. And so does the Phantomcrescents. I want you to know that the man who is chasing for your hand is a good man and he will never hurt you."Her words played inside my mind a million times.I sat there, unsure of what to say.True, that the ordeal between the Weres and Humans has been impossible to resolve. Or rather, I shall say: never going to be resolved."Thank you so much for your kind words, Lady Stella. I keep that in mind."There was silence between us."By the way, Lady Stella, would you mind to tell me what you did when your husband, an Alpha, revealed to you that you were his mate?""Not at all." She smiled.I made myself comfortable while listening to her mellow voice."I was an omega." She told me. "I work on the farm and one day

"You're not allowed to get inside, assassin. You are strictly prohibited from being present at the meeting of the Alphas."Damn it.Riftan took a deep breath while Dreyar laughed. "Sorry about that, Vermillion," he told me. "We'll be discussing very private matters, so I suggest you wait here if you can.""Are you telling me to leave this assassin unattended?" Riftan raised a brow at him, crossing his arms."As much as I want to introduce her to the other Alphas, I don't think I can allow her inside. You do realize the risk of letting Miss Vermillion attend the conference, do you not?""Of course, I do." Riftan sighed and looked at me. "Will you be fine if you stay here and wait? We won't take too long."Dreyar smirked. "I'll rush things so that both of you can return to each other's arms as soon as possible."I scratched my nape, disappointed I couldn't get more information about their dirty secrets. I peeked at the pavilion behind t
Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series) Conference of the Alphas
ZEN RIFTAN It was evening.I had decided to bring the assassin along with me to the meeting, though she wouldn’t be stepping foot inside the pavilion. The topics were too sensitive, and I wasn’t about to let her overhear matters that could put our plans at risk. Instead, I arranged for Lady Stella to keep her entertained. It was the best alternative—I couldn’t have Ruby wandering off and causing problems while I dealt with more important affairs.Inside the pavilion, the Alphas of the continent sat at a vast table, tension thick in the air. Their expressions ranged from hostile to wary, but none of it surprised me. Every leader at this table was only loyal to their own pack, willing to tear each other apart if it meant expanding their power. The only reason they were all here was the treaty.Six years ago, Hector Dreyar and I had forged this alliance, changing the balance of power among the Weres. Before then, it was a bloodbath—Alphas constantly at war, packs torn apart. But when I

My sudden movement wakes the male. "R-Riftan?!""Ugh... what?""W-What did we...""We didn't do anything."The sunlight peered from behind the curtains, and we could hear the sound of cogs and wheels.
