"Perfect candidate for what?" I snickered. "For your nightly duties? Come now. You know that I won't stoop that low to kiss your feet. You're no Alpha.""So you would stoop low and kiss someone's feet if they're an Alpha?""Still no."Filip walked in circles around me, "I've heard that Riftan is fond of you.""Yeah, right." I lazily replied and rolled my eyes. "He is so fond of me that kidnapping me will get you killed.""I am not afraid of him," he murmured. "Truthfully, he must be the one afraid of me.""Hah!" I scoffed. "Riftan? Scared of you? That guy is not even scared of me.""Why would anyone be scared of a little girl like you?" Filip raised a brow and crossed his arms.Offended, I turned to him and cursed. "I am not a little girl, psycho."The male twirled a ring on his fingers. "I've heard about you.""Really? But have you heard what I can do?""Of course I did. Why would I? I have been looking for you this entire time. I was wondering whose pack got you. Turns out you were

I was thrown into a den.I fell flat on my spine when I fell onto the rough surface of the ground. I wonder how many broken bones I have now, because of this. Not to mention, my left arm is completely destroyed by that Creep, Mally.I wonder what Mally is, though. He's like an overgrown mass of something alive. He does not even look human to me, nor a Were.I took a deep breath and laid flat on the ground while recollecting my senses. I need space and time to be alone for a while.I miss my cape. I must've let go of it when these bastards abducted it. I hope that piece of fabric is well.I palmed my face and took my time in the silence.Everything around me was pitch black.They had covered the lid to the den, and I could not even see a thing. I could hear water dripping from the ceiling, but nothing more.I had injured that weirdo Filip earlier. Though his name may sound noble, that man is a prick and a pain in the ass. I can't believe that I'm stuck here with him. If only this blowd

"Here's your dress for this evening."I stare at the piece of revealing fabric that the maid had given me. I gave her a sharp look and raised my brow."He's going to make me wear this?" I grab the fabric with my hands. It was a lousy, transparent dress that would display a woman's glory after wearing. "He must be out of his mind if he thinks I'll be accepting this offer.""Please, Lady Vermillion," the maid begged. "He will have us killed if you do not obey him."I grit my teeth.It's not like I care about them anyway, but...I took the fabric and stormed into Filip's chamber. The male was taking a bath, his body fully exposed. He smirked upon seeing me."Oh my, my," he teased and then licked his lips. "I did not know you were into this, Vermillion~""Shut up, pervert," I glared and then threw the skimpy dress to the ground. "You must be joking me, right?""Where's the joke in that?" he replied while rinsing his body with water. "I had that intentionally made for you.""You're nuts," I

The Alpha shrieked in pain and fell to his knees when I rend his lower half with the knife in my hand. Filip collapsed to the floor, blood dripping from his thighs. His face irked and scrunched up in agony as he resisted the urge to close his eyes.I stood before him, my fingers covered in thick, dark blood. My expression turned deadly when the male reached out to my leg. I kicked his arm away, twisting it in the process."Argh!!!""My skin does not tolerate filthy hands.""V-Vermillion..." he whimpered. "Why?""I told you before, didn’t I? I would kill you if you tried to touch me."Filip tried his best to stand up. His legs shook as they carried his heavy weight. He lost his balance a few more times and then lifted his head to look at me. I only gave him a sweet smile while showing him the knife I had just played with."Where did you get that?" he asked while walking toward me."Oh, this?" I smiled. "This, I saw outside. Near the spears. Remember this afternoon when I acted up?"He

"Let go of me."Filip turned his head slowly to see who spoke. Zen Riftan stood before him with a stomach-sinking glare. Filip froze, and then he dropped me to the ground. Pain shot through me. My body convulsed, and I gasped for air. Tears leaked from my eyes as my lungs finally inhaled—desperate, burning—and contracted again. I saw Riftan’s face twist. The wrath in his eyes? Unforgiving. Irredeemable."Riftan," Filip seethed, baring his fangs. "Glad to see you finally come. I’ve been awaiting your arrival.""I see you’re prepared already in your true form, Filip," Riftan replied, calm but deadly. "If you could spare me a few minutes so that I can shift, that would be splendid.""Oh, I will," Filip nodded, gesturing mockingly. "Go on. Shift."Riftan walked over to me. He looked down at me—his eyes lingering on the reddish marks Filip left on my neck. I could feel them swell already, burning with humiliation. I coughed, struggling to lift my head. His expression shifted—sad, gentle. I
