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

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   The Count's Request

    ZEN RIFTANHis castle reeks of alcohol and blood. He never wants to clean up, doesn't he?I've seen the moat surrounding the castle, and it was much worse since I last visited this place. I didn't remember leaping from the other side to get here. That wooden bridge always seemed to be sturdier than the walls I've built around Baronveil, and yet, I could no longer see anything but the splinters of wood and rope hanging from both sides that became evident of its recent collapse.Leurel Reissfield, one of the Sanguine Princes who originally hailed from another continent, was welcomed in Hezel personally by my late father. He once ruled the Northern Hezel under the Treaty made by the First King.But that Treaty was broken when my brother sought the first embers of destruction.Leurel was not protected, and the descendants of the First King became silent. Hezel removed the Northern Highlands from its jurisdiction. Leurel stopped receiving trades, and as the beasts of the Northern Highlands

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   The Plan

    RUBY VERMILLION"...let's go home... to our home."I didn’t realize how much those words would change the air around us. I said them so quietly… but they struck Riftan harder than anything else could. I saw it in his eyes. Like something inside him shifted, cleared. My words cleared the darkness from his gaze like sunlight piercing through storm clouds.And just like that, he moved.Leurel stepped back the moment Riftan’s fur began to change—white, pure, and glowing like snow under moonlight. His eyes turned red, and I couldn’t help but stare. I’d seen his darker, lycan form back when Filip had kidnapped me. Back then, I expected something softer—white fur, blue eyes. But again… he surpassed everything I thought I knew.Streaks of black and gold shimmered through his fur like fire and shadow entwined. His body grew even larger—more powerful. A glowing moon symbol marked the center of his broad chest, shining like a brand of divinity and war.Suddenly, the doors burst open.Zephyl and

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   The Vampire and the Lycan

    ZEN RIFTANThe vampire sat on his throne with Ruby in his arms, sleeping soundly. My Ruby. Due to the unexpected visit of a mass murderer, he had no choice but to safeguard her before custody would be settled—between him… and me. Whoever wins today’s battle will keep the Scarletflame Assassin.Darkness loomed heavier as slow, deliberate footsteps echoed through the halls. I could feel them. Not fast, not hesitant—just heavy, and dangerous. I stepped forward as the courtroom doors opened.And there he was. Leurel. The vampire I resented my whole life.I didn’t need to speak. My fury showed in my low eyes and pursed lips. Behind me stood Alzack and Zephyl, Vale, a number of pack warriors, General Galland, and the two humans Leurel had kept imprisoned.“R-Ruby!” one of them cried.“Watch out!” the boy, Klaid, I think, grabbed his sister’s arm. “Don’t get too close. Don’t you remember what happened to us?!”Etina backed down behind her brother. Vale stepped closer to me and whispered, “Yo

    RUBY VERMILLIONWhere... the hell are they?Surely they must have not left without doing what I asked to, right?I am almost out of energy. My lungs are suffocating, my joints are tired. I have never eaten for the day and I am thirsty. I even don't have a single idea why I am still alive.It's been days. So many days.Just how much longer am I still going to wait?The vampire is looking at me. Smiling slyly in the darkness. I'm still at the broken pavilion, basking in what seems to be the final seconds of sunset. I grit my teeth as his smirk grows wider when the sun falls behind the hills.The darkness looms over us, and the stars are about to twinkle.I can't move. My body feels hot from being roasted in the sunlight. I feel like I am going to die.Am I going to?I can hear Leueral's footsteps around me. He slowly makes his way towards me, where the sunlight couldn't reach. I am done for."D-Don't touch me..." I snarled while trying to crawl away. But I feel his vines wrap around my

    The vampire observes me meticulously with his blood-red orbs.I wonder what was in his mind? Could he perhaps be planning on what seasoning he would put on me if I were to be prepared on his table?"You and Riftan... are you both, by any chance, fated?"I lifted my eyes to him and crossed my arms. "Fated? Now that's a word I am not familiar with.""You don't believe in fate?" he raised a brow questionably. "You don't believe that someone is playing with our lives?""We pull our own strings. Everything is a coincidence. If something happens to me, I don't blame it on these 'gods' you speak of." I answered in a monotone."You remind me of Riftan's answer when I asked him the same question."The very mentioning of his name brought my curiously to rise. "What about his answer..?""Both of you do not seem to care about a god deciding your fate. You're both objective in living your life the way you can." The vampire reached out for a goblet on the table. I could see the stains in the golden

    I raised my hand and took a deep breath. The siblings looked at me reluctantly as I gripped the bottle of medicine. I wanted them to trust me. I was the only one who could hold Leurel back. Klaid was injured, and Etina wasn’t good at fighting. That left only me."Ruby..." Etina whispered. "Brother... what should we do?"Klaid gritted his teeth. "I... don't know. But we have to trust her. If we don't, we can't help her.""But what if she faints again? What if she dies this time, for real?""She won't die. Not today. She's tough. If she offered to fight, she wouldn’t let herself be killed."Leurel descended the staircase, chuckling. "How have you been? Did you sweethearts sleep well?""I didn't," I replied. "You didn’t even spare us a blanket.""Why should I? You’re prisoners.""Whatever. Just don’t hurt them and I’ll cooperate."I had a knife hidden under my skirt, another in my boot. Leurel could smell the steel, but he wasn’t fazed. He turned a blind eye."You volunteer to be my brea
