I’d rather die than be this guy’s mate.

Riftan teasingly stared at me with his aquamarine eyes and rested his chin against his palms on the table. I checked my chains to see if they were loose, but unfortunately, they were fastened completely. I rolled my eyes and looked at him once again.

“If you think you can kill me by destroying those chains, then you’re mistaken,” he dissented.

“And what if I can?” I leaned at the table, smiling impishly.

“Why don’t you try?” he raised a brow and chuckled bitterly.

I yanked my arm, but the chains wouldn’t budge. I gritted my teeth as I could hear his soft amusement. Glaring at him, I kicked his leg with my foot. He stopped.

“Weren’t you eating steak just earlier?” I raised an eyebrow. “And now you want a braised one?”

“So what? Why do you care? Are you the one who’s going to prepare my food?”

“Bastard,” I hissed. “You made her do it so that you can have more time to piss me off, don’t you?”

Riftan yawned, “Don’t be so hostile at me, Ruby. I am no

By the time they see, Alex— they allowed us to goin without questions.“Where are we?” I asked him, confused. I do not recognize this place at all.“This is the professor’s apartment. And we found something that might be of use to you.”The Intelligence Unit’s cyber hacker finally cracked the code to the professor’s computer. There, I see messages from an unknown man trying to talk to the professor about my whereabouts.The professor refused to tell him, and told him to quit following her— hinting that the stalking may have lasted for days.I felt my knees weaken.I was right.I was the reason why the professor is dead.“I… I need some air.”I rushed outside the property as tears began to cloud my eyes.“Kierra…”“Alex… it was me. I told you it was me! I killed the professor! I did this to her! Now… because of me simply existing— I’ve

    "I am." I stood up and stretched my limbs. "He would not let me go, I am sure of it.""I talked to Zen this morning. I made an arrangement with him, but he is yet to respond. I figured that I would like to tell you ahead.”"I don't really need it." I smiled at him. "The West isn't very welcoming to me either. I'd rather stay here."Dreyar stood up and shook his head. "I’ll welcome you there with all my heart. Just let me know if you'll agree to it or no. I'll be staying in Zen's spare rooms for a week.""You'll be staying here for a week?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?""Has Zen not told you?""About what?""Oh my, he does hide things from you a lot, doesn't he?"My brows furrowed, curious. "What is it?""It is not safe for me to go since the King's sentries have been spotted all around the woods for the past several days."The king's sentries?Does he mean of Hezel's personal guards? Not the assassins?"Sentries?""Yes, along with the King as well. It is rumored that the King is

    RUBY VERMILLIONAs we approached the building, I hid behind Linda's back to avoid being seen by others. We entered the building and entered the halls with ease. I had dragged her along with me to help me escape Dreyar and Riftan! I don’t want them to see me! Not after what happened with Riftan and I."I think Lord Dreyar has gone home." She told me. "There's no sign of him around here."I look around. It's true. The guards were in their normal positions and the maid did not seem to be tasked to make food for him. Could he have gone home?"You think he has gone home?"The maid nodded, but her eyes were full of disappointment. "Maybe so. That's too bad I was not able to see his face."I chuckled at her and pinched her arm. "Nah, you don't have to see his face. What's the point anyway?""I wanna see if the man chasing you is handsome or not~"The woman nudged my shoulders repeatedly, attempting to tease me more and more. "Cut it out, Lin."We reached the stairs and headed to the corri

    ZEN RIFTAN"Let go me! Dammit!" The rogue shrieked in agony as the sentries pulled him for a discussion. He was tossed on the concrete floor with all of my men watching, jeering at him. Blood leaked from his clothes, his wounds torn open. His breathing became uneven when Hector and I stepped in for a view."Seems that you had fun with him, huh." I turn to Hector. He tittered and smirked at me, "Just a little, but I was worried that he wouldn't reach here alive. You didn't know how relieved I was when I opened the bag to see him gasping for air."I had invited Dreyar here to investigate the situation of these pathetic, stray rogues. I thought that the situation was well-handled by the other alphas after the conference, but it turned out that these rogues were not as 'easy' to handle. They have completely gotten out of hand.And they’re highly intelligent, something I didn’t expect from them."Pull out the sack from his head," I ordered my servants, to which they obeyed. Upon pulling

    I grappled on Riftan's strong arms as he deepened the kiss. I couldn't breathe and the butterflies fluttering inside my stomach weren't helping.My mind was going crazy.I quickly pushed Riftan away and bit his lip. The male took a step back, head hung low. I stared at him, shocked as he wiped the blood from his lips."Was it too unpleasant for you?" he asked.I was too stunned to reply. I remained there, blood leaving my face."I will be heading to my room now," he told me and turned his back. "Good night."Riftan then walked away, as if nothing happened between the both of us. I covered my lips with fingers-ghasted.What just happened? Was that a dream?"Vermillion?" a voice said from behind. "What are you still doing back here?"Vale approached me and grabbed my shoulder, only to see my pale face. "Are you okay? You look like you have just seen a ghost.""I-I...""Come with me, I'll escort you back to yo

    It had been days, and my wounds were healing. Linda’s herbal medicine was truly magnificent. I rolled my arm, testing the pain. A dull pang remained. Not fully healed yet.Riftan was busy today, leaving me free to explore. I turned to Linda, who was preparing snacks. “Anywhere entertaining around here?”“Yeah.” she gestured toward a barren tree in the distance. “That used to be a plum tree. Riftan wouldn’t let us cut it.”“A tree was important to him?” I squinted at it. Lifeless, no leaves or blossoms.Linda’s expression softened as she stared at the tree.“Lin?”She blinked, shaking her head. “Sorry.”I frowned. “Something on your mind?”She hesitated, then smiled. “Just remembering the last time it blossomed.”I leaned in, “Tell me.”She sighed, “When Lord Riftan was young, I saw hi
