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. Letta's steps led Ruby to the edge of the savanna. Tension immediat

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

The stream of water moistened every curve of my aching joints. It also washed away traces of blood and sweat. So much was happening that my brain blocked out any thoughts. The shower that followed brought on a strange feeling, the sensation of waking up from a nightmare. The shower stopped when I turned on the faucet.Tiger wasn't in bed, even though he'd showered first. Shouldn't he be fast asleep like usual? After putting on a short, thin-strapped dress with a sweet strawberry pattern, I looked around for Tiger."Honey?"However, the grounds of Gîte Goasdoué were quite a distraction. A simple landscape, situated between time and space, offered a sense of peace. Its low stone gate welcomed the sea breeze into a vast garden, about a thousand square meters, framed by stone walls. It wasn't a tidy city garden, to be sure. The grass grew wild and soft, interspersed with small, gently swaying bushes typical of Ushant.As I said, a low granite wall surrounded part of the courtyard, an old

"Dead! Go to hell!! You bastard!!!" Tiger growled. The pressure of the dagger pierced Zerikyu's chest an inch deeper.Seeing Zerikyu trembling violently, dripping with sweat and blood, and his gaze brimming with red veins, I was terrified. I feared that losing him would affect my existence. After all, it was because of his abilities that I was able to live a second life. Without him, I didn't know how to face Amandeus. But how could Zerikyu not give up on returning Arthemisya? Now that I knew his intentions, I just had to find a compromise."Wait, Tiger! Please wait!""Now, what?! You said, Everyone can die!""It's not like that! He's the key!"It was my turn to receive this deadly glare. "Don't expect me to let him live, whoever he is," Tiger threatened."He knows where Amandeus is!" I gasped. I didn't know whether Tiger interpreted my nervous breathing as a sign of lying."Then, a spy should die quickly!"That one word sucked all of Zerikyu's oxygen out of him, and after a loud scre

Zerikyu knelt down, giving me an impressive, piercing gaze. The man's friendly, cheerful demeanor was gone, as if he were a completely different person. The closer I got, the more I missed the Zerikyu I'd been in just a few minutes. My heart shattered, once again, having lost a friend in this second life.We were only an inch apart, enough to see the reflection of the past haunting his irises."I never meant to trade your lives." Zerikyu muffled his words. His hands clenched on his thighs. "I meant to resurrect him."I gritted my teeth. "Arthemisya is dead. It's all over.""NO," he snapped, causing me to reflexively fall backwards. His knees pressed against me, pressing against one side of my face like he was holding a crystal that could shatter under his own breath."Arthemisya," he whispered, "she's still here, hiding among the fragments of your breath. Don't be afraid, I'll show her to you. And you won't have to go through this terrifying life."I shook my head violently, tears we

After the anchor was lowered, the tidal waves seemed to subside. But undeniably, the nausea was getting stronger, gripping my stomach. The early morning wind was getting even colder. Tiger nimbly draped my furry jacket over me as we disembarked the ship.It was about two hundred meters from the pier to the point where the three of us were walking in the light's reflection. Lucy was steadily lifting a large backpack containing several explosives, smuggled under her clothes and food. Tiger held me tightly with one arm, while his other hand slipped into the inside pocket of his jacket.Our steps reached a clearing. As we suspected, two people were waiting. However, their movements didn't seem defensive.The mist cleared, and my eyes widened. "Zerikyu?"I quickly glanced at Tiger and Lucy, but they had the same expression as I did."Hey! You didn't expect that, did you?" Zerikyu greeted cheerfully."Welcome to Ushant!" chimed a middle-aged man, about forty, with a neat mustache that appear

"They won't know," Tiger interrupted.His calm, yet unwavering way of speaking was a bit different, and honestly, it worried me. I could tell he was trying hard to contain his inner turmoil. He moved closer to me, standing by the deck window. Our gazes met at the expanse of dark ocean that surrounded us."There's a good reason they chose a location that relies heavily on tourism," Tiger crossed his arms. "Ushant Island has a lot of manipulation aspects."Lucy frowned. "You're so quick to pick up on information, I see.""I researched every island around France," Tiger said, "and I was fooled. Ushant was at the bottom of my list.""Well, since you've been waiting for this moment, I'll check out the weapons cabin and choose your main weapon, Handsome," Lucy teased.I narrowed my eyes as Lucy walked past. "He can kill without a weapon!" I said, annoyed.I was a little disappointed by Tiger's passive response. The groundlight was indeed at its dimmest, framing Tiger's face like a stone ca

"Okay, let's finish it, Madame." Tiger pulled a small knife from inside his jacket and, in one swift motion, cut the thin wire from the bracelet. My breath caught; I watched Amadeus' signal cut off and saw what was at stake for the woman.Elizabeth collapsed without a weak groan, except for the pounding of her heart that shattered the silence. Finally, police sirens began to wail. Surely someone had discovered the condition of Elizabeth's bodyguards. I stood on my tiptoes, observing where the flashing red lights were heading.Lucy's calculations were correct. Luckily, they headed for the back garden of the left wing. She said that although the right wing, where we were located, was more secluded, management avoided this area.That meant the festival was still going on, and the bodyguards had been evacuated to a remote location. Whether by coincidence or design, the festival's main stage was located on the beach. In contrast, until now, we had been operating from a hotel where privat
