“Dahlia, where are you going? The class is about to start,” Reva called out, her voice laced with that familiar mix of exasperation and fondness. She was still slumped in her chair beside me, twirling a pen between her fingers.

I pushed back from the desk, the wooden legs scraping loudly against the tiled floor, and stretched my arms high above my head until my spine gave a satisfying pop. “Just going to take a round of the campus,” I replied, rolling my shoulders. “I’m bored sitting in one place like a statue. I need to move.”

Reva’s eyes widened. Before she could protest, Veronica leaned across the aisle and hissed, “The HOD does her rounds at this exact time every single day! You’ll get detention if you get caught, Dahlia. Don’t be reckless.”

I flashed them both a wicked smirk, the kind that always got me into trouble and out of it again. “Veronica, babes, I’ll only get detention if I get caught. And I won’t let that happen.”

I turned on my heel and stalked toward the back door of the classroom, my trainers squeaking softly against the cool floor. The late-afternoon light slanted through the tall windows, painting golden stripes across the desks. My heart thrummed with that delicious rebellious energy I craved — the thrill of breaking tiny rules just because I could.

I knew they would follow. Reva and Veronica had been my best friends since the first week of Year One; we were inseparable now in our second year. We did everything together — shared secrets, late-night study sessions, and every single act of mischief. Besides, the next lecture after English was free, and none of us could stomach another minute of Mrs. Stone’s class.

It wasn’t her teaching style. She was actually one of the best professors at the university — clear, passionate, knowledgeable. But her obsessive judgment of every girl’s outfit made her unbearable. The way she would purse her lips and mutter about “decency” and “respect for the institution” while staring at a bare shoulder or a short hemline… it made my blood boil. It’s our bodies, I thought bitterly. Let us dress however we damn well please. You’re not paid to play fashion police.

I had barely turned the corner into the quiet hallway when I heard their footsteps rushing after me. Reva looped her arm through my right one, her warm skin pressing against mine, while Veronica claimed my left. The familiar scent of Reva’s vanilla perfume and Veronica’s citrus shampoo wrapped around me like comfort.

“So, where are we going?” Reva asked, already grinning like she already knew the answer.

“Our usual café, of course,” I said cheerfully.

Both of them groaned in unison, the sound echoing down the empty corridor. “Oh, come on, Dahlia!” Veronica complained, tugging my arm. “We’re bunking a lecture — let’s go somewhere new for once instead of the same old place!”

I shrugged, the motion pulling them both closer. “Why should we? When we can sit there eating the most delicious desserts while staring at the best view of the London Bridge?”

Reva snorted. “Best view of the London Bridge… or the best view of Aaron — that part-time waiter you’ve been completely obsessed with lately?”

My ears burned pink instantly. Heat rushed up my neck and flooded my cheeks. I tried to hide it by laughing, but the sound came out too high, too guilty. “I… I mean, it’s not my fault the café has a ridiculously hot waiter! And it’s not like we find handsome men everywhere in this place.”

We stared at each other for a beat, then burst into loud, uncontrollable laughter that bounced off the walls. They weren’t wrong. No boy at our university came close to the kind of breathtaking beauty we obsessed over in films — Timothée Chalamet’s sharp cheekbones, Tom Cruise’s effortless charm in his younger days. The guys here were… decent. Average. Safe. But safe didn’t make my heart race the way a single crooked smile from Aaron did.

We were almost at the main doors, sunlight streaming in like a promise of freedom, when a crisp British accent sliced through the air behind us.

“Where exactly do you three think you’re going?”

We froze mid-step, hearts slamming against our ribs. Oh shit.

The three of us exchanged one panicked glance. Running was tempting — cameras everywhere, though. No escape. We turned slowly to face the Head of Department, her arms crossed, expression thunderous.

“Ma’am, we… we weren’t going anywhere,” Reva stammered, her usual confidence evaporating.

“Then why are you three loitering in the hallway instead of being inside your classroom?” the HOD demanded, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.

I swallowed hard, forcing my voice steady. “That… Ma’am, we were just taking some fresh air. It’s stuffy in there.”

Her glare could have frozen fire. “Detention. All three of you. Now get back inside your classroom immediately.”

We didn’t argue. We scurried back like scolded children, the weight of her disappointment pressing on our shoulders.

Later, inside the empty classroom serving our punishment, Veronica wiped the windows with angry strokes. “I told you the HOD does her rounds at that time, but you never listen! Now I’m stuck in detention because of you.”

“Hey,” I shot back, sweeping the floor with more force than necessary, dust swirling around my ankles, “don’t blame me. I didn’t force you to follow. You came on your own.”

Reva, arranging chairs with tired precision, sighed heavily. “Both of you, stop bickering. Let’s just finish this quickly so we can leave.”

It took us nearly an hour of silent, resentful cleaning before the classroom sparkled. By the time we finally stepped out of the campus gates, the sky had deepened into a soft evening lavender, the air cool and carrying the distant hum of London traffic.

We headed toward the café two blocks away, the promise of cold coffee and sweet relief pulling us forward. But as we walked, a small flower shop on the opposite side of the road caught my eye — its window overflowing with vibrant blooms under warm golden lights. The scent of roses and lilies drifted across the street like an invitation.

I stopped and turned to my friends. “You guys wait here. I’ll just buy some flowers.”

Reva raised an eyebrow, teasing. “Why? Are you finally going to propose to Aaron with a bouquet?”

I rolled my eyes and sighed, but a small smile tugged at my lips. “Not everything I do is for him, you know. You guys know how much I love flowers.”

Veronica grinned. “Of course we do. Your name is basically a flower — it explains your obsession completely. We’ll wait right here.”

I nodded, heart lighter, and crossed the road. Inside the shop, the fragrance wrapped around me like a hug. I chose a lush bouquet of deep red roses, delicate white dahlias, and fragrant lilies, their petals soft as velvet against my fingers. I paid quickly, the paper wrapping crinkling pleasantly, and stepped back onto the pavement, waving happily at Reva and Veronica across the street.

One second I was smiling, the bouquet held high like a victory flag.

The next second — a deafening screech of tyres, blinding headlights, the sickening crunch of metal against bone.

I was lying on the cold, hard road. Pain exploded through every nerve. My limbs were twisted at unnatural angles. Warm blood pooled beneath me, sticky and metallic, soaking into my uniform. The world tilted and blurred.

The last things I heard were my friends’ terrified screams tearing through the evening air as they cradled my head in their laps, their clothes staining crimson with my blood. Their voices cracked with panic and love.

I didn’t want to die.

I hadn’t even had my first kiss yet.

I still had so many dreams — so many cafés, so many laughs, so many flowers left to buy.

Then darkness swallowed me whole.

Scientists have proven that parallel worlds exist. The books we devour late at night, the stories that make our hearts race — they might be someone else’s lived reality in another universe. If that is true, then reincarnation, transmigration, and teleportation may exist too. What if everything we imagine is possible?

Then multiple Earths exist as well… each one teeming with creatures far more dangerous and powerful than mere humans could ever dream.

And just like our Earth, there existed another — Earth. It looked identical at first glance: same continents, same countries, same blue skies. But fifty years ago, everything shattered. Creatures once dismissed as myth — vampires and werewolves — began to emerge from the shadows. They did not hide. They claimed their place.

The world fractured. Borders dissolved. The land was divided into three: the eastern territories ruled by powerful werewolf packs and their Alphas; the western realms governed by ancient vampire lineages and their immortal King; and the fragile human territories caught in the middle.

What truly ignited humanity’s rage, however, was not the monsters themselves. It was the mating. Vampires and werewolves began marking human mates, creating hybrids — beings of mixed blood who blurred the lines between species. Humans, obsessed with purity, saw only abomination. They called the supernaturals monsters.

In truth, no vampire or werewolf could ever match the cold, calculated monstrosity that humans were capable of when fear took root.

So they formed Silver Crest — a secret society that trained elite assassins the supernaturals simply called hunters. Their goal was extermination.

Yet vampires and werewolves proved nearly impossible to kill. Garlic, wooden stakes, silver bullets, poison — none of it worked. Their bodies healed in seconds, their power absolute. The only hunter who ever succeeded was the legendary Elara Voss.

Driven by the brutal murder of her younger sister, Elara joined Silver Crest. No one had ever seen her face, but her name became a whispered curse among the supernaturals. When asked her secret, she gave only one cold reply: “Cut their heads from their bodies.”

Under her blade, the vampire and werewolf populations began to dwindle. Panic spread.

In desperation, the Vampire King, Cassian Thorne, and the last surviving Alpha, Kael Ardent of the Ardent Pack, formed an uneasy alliance. Their deal was simple and ruthless: hunt the hunters.

When Silver Crest’s elite began falling, Elara was given her final mission — assassinate both Cassian Thorne and Kael Ardent.

She accepted for the enormous sum of money promised. Infiltrating Cassian’s castle as a lowly maid, she watched and waited. What she discovered changed nothing in her mind: the unmarked Alpha Kael Ardent was fated mate to the unmated Vampire King Cassian Thorne. Lovers or not, they were targets.

But fate is cruel. Kael Ardent was poisoned. Cassian’s rage shook the castle walls. His soldiers tore through Elara’s room and found packets of rat poison. She was caught.

Now, vampires, werewolves, hybrids, and the few remaining humans will witness the public execution of Silver Crest’s most feared hunter.

The soldiers drag her broken, filthy body from the dungeons toward the execution stage. The butcher sharpens his sword with slow, deliberate scrapes that echo like death itself. Cassian Thorne sits upon the royal balcony, high above the crowd, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he prepares to watch the killer of his beloved die.

My head throbbed with a pain so fierce it felt like my skull was splitting open. Every inch of my body screamed in protest as two pairs of strong, merciless hands dragged me forward. Chains clanked heavily around my wrists and ankles, the iron biting into raw skin.

Wait…

I forced my eyes open, but darkness swallowed everything. A coarse sack was tied tightly over my head, the fabric scratchy and smelling of damp stone and old blood. Aren’t I dead? I thought, panic rising like bile. I should feel nothing. I died in that car accident… didn’t I? Or was that only a nightmare?

Suddenly I was shoved forward. My knees slammed against rough wooden planks. The sack was ripped away.

Blinding light assaulted me. I squeezed my eyes shut, then slowly cracked them open, squinting against the glare. The world came into horrifying focus.

The first thing I saw was the butcher — a massive man with a cruel grin, running a whetstone along a gleaming sword that sang with every stroke. Goosebumps erupted across my arms. My stomach twisted.

Two soldiers flanked me, their faces twisted in smug satisfaction. Beyond them, a roaring crowd chanted in one bloodthirsty voice: “Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!”

I looked around frantically, heart hammering against my ribs. They can’t mean me… can they? But there was no one else on the stage. The chant was for me.

Why? I died. I should be in heaven… or hell. Why am I here? Does God want me to suffer death twice?

Then my gaze lifted to the royal balcony.

There he sat — dark-haired, crimson-eyed, devastatingly handsome — watching the spectacle with a small, satisfied smirk. Recognition slammed into me like a second car crash.

Cassian Thorne.

The male lead of Between Fangs & Fate… the BL web novel I had binge-read and cried over just days ago.

My mind reeled. Does that mean… I reincarnated inside the novel after my death?

Whose body had I taken?

I lifted trembling hands to my hair — white strands, not my familiar dark ones. Panic clawed up my throat. No, no, no…

I scanned the stage desperately and spotted a shallow puddle of water near the edge, reflecting the grey sky like a cruel mirror. Ignoring the soldiers’ shouts, I staggered to my feet and rushed toward it, chains rattling.

I dropped to my knees and stared down.

The face staring back was not mine.

It was hers.

Elara Voss.

The Huntress.

The tragic villainess destined to die.

No. No. No. This can’t be happening.

I had reincarnated into my favourite BL novel… only to be executed as the woman who tried to kill the two male leads who were fated for each other.

Tears burned my eyes. My chest ached with a grief so deep it felt like my heart was being carved out.

God… this is so unfair.

To Be Continued

The wooden planks of the execution stage were splattered with old, dark stains—reminders of those who had knelt here before me. My heart wasn’t just beating; it was a trapped bird slamming against my ribs, threatening to burst out.

No. This isn’t happening. I was just at the flower shop. I was worried about cold coffee and a cute waiter, not my head being separated from my shoulders!

Before I could even map out the layout of the courtyard for an escape, two sets of iron-like hands clamped onto my shoulders. They forced me down. The wood was cold, smelling of pine and copper.

"No! Stop! You can't do this!" I screamed, the sound tearing from a throat I didn't recognize as my own. "I didn't do anything! I’m innocent!"

My eyes locked onto the royal balcony. There he was: Cassian Thorne. In the web novel, I’d swooned over his "lethal elegance." In person, he was terrifying. His skin was the color of moonlight, his eyes a crimson so deep they looked like fresh arterial blood. He looked down at me not as a person, but as a minor inconvenience to be swept away.

"Oh, really?" Cassian’s voice was like velvet over dry ice—smooth, but it burned. "If you are innocent, little huntress, then I am a mere human."

What kind of logic is that?!

"I'm telling the truth!" I shouted, desperate to pierce that mask of regal boredom. "I did not poison Kael Ardent! Why would I use something as clumsy as rat poison?"

Cassian stood up, his sudden movement radiating a predatory grace that silenced the crowd. "Do not," he bellowed, his voice vibrating in the very air around us, "dare to let his name pass your filthy, murderous lips!"

"Then listen to me!" I retorted, adrenaline finally overriding my terror. "If you kill me now, you’re letting the real assassin walk free. I didn't poison him!"

"What are you waiting for?" Cassian turned to the butcher, his expression flickering with irritation. "Execute her. The noise is becoming tedious."

The butcher stepped forward. The shadow of his massive blade fell over me. Panic. Pure, blinding panic.

"No! You can’t kill me! There’s no proof! I’m innocent until proven guilty!" I thrashed, the chains on my wrists clattering like a frantic heartbeat. "You’re a King, aren't you? Where is your justice?"

Cassian leaned over the railing, a smug, cruel smile curling his lips. "In my territory, you are guilty until I decide otherwise. Those fragile human laws of yours? They died the moment you crossed my border."

"I can prove it!"

I screamed it with every last bit of oxygen in my lungs. For a heartbeat, the world went still. Even the wind seemed to stop. The bloodthirsty crowd held its breath, and the soldiers’ grip loosened just a fraction in their surprise.

Then, a sound broke the silence: laughter. It was a rich, melodic sound that felt entirely out of place on an execution grounds. Cassian laughed until a single tear gathered in the corner of his eye. Wiping it away, he gestured lazily. "Soldiers, let her speak. I want to hear the exact shape of the lie she’s crafted to save her neck."

The soldiers stepped back. I scrambled to stand, my legs shaking like jelly. I stared straight into his glowing red eyes. I knew what he was doing—Vampire Kings could sense the skip of a heart, the sweat of a lie. But I wasn't lying. I knew the truth because I’d read the damn book.

I took a deep, shaky breath, forcing my modern-day anxiety into a box. Focus, Dahlia. Be Elara. Be the Huntress.

"I did not poison Alpha Kael Ardent," I began, my voice steadier now. "The packets your guards 'found' in my room were common rat poison. Arsenic and anticoagulants. Your own physicians must have tested it by now."

Cassian tilted his head, mocking. "And that proves your innocence? Perhaps you’re just a poor assassin with bad tools."

I clenched my fists. Calm down, Dahlia. You don’t have superpowers, and you definitely can’t punch a vampire without breaking every bone in your hand.

"It proves everything," I gritted out through clenched teeth. "A werewolf Alpha is immune to standard rat poison. To hurt a wolf of Kael’s stature, the poison would have to be distilled with the blood of a supernatural or laced with concentrated wolfsbane. None of the packets in my room were even opened. Why would I keep 'tools' that don't work, unless they were planted there?"

The smugness evaporated from Cassian’s face. It was replaced by a cold, lethal calculation. He hadn't expected a "brainless hunter" to understand supernatural toxicology.

"Even so," he said, his voice dropping an octave, "you are a high-ranking member of Silver Crest. A killer of my kind. That alone is a death sentence."

"I have bills to pay!" I blurted out.

The crowd blinked. Even Cassian looked momentarily stunned.

"The human territories are a nightmare of taxes and inflation," I continued, my tone becoming inadvertently convincing as I thought about my own student loans back in London. "Ever since you supernaturals took over the corporate world, the cost of living has skyrocketed. I’m not royalty or a CEO like you. Hunting was the only job that paid enough to keep a roof over my head."

"That doesn't change the fact that you've spilled the blood of werewolves and vampires," he countered, though his voice lacked its previous murderous conviction.

This is it. The final card. "The only ones I ever killed were rogues," I said, stepping toward the edge of the stage. "The monsters your own laws condemn. The ones who preyed on the weak, human and supernatural alike. Your own files on me will show that I never touched a citizen of the Western or Eastern realms. I did your dirty work for free."

I knew the backstory. Elara’s foster sisters—raped and drained by rogues who left a taunting note. She wasn't a hater of the species; she was a hunter of monsters.

Cassian opened his mouth to argue, but no sound came out. He balled his fists, his knuckles turning white against the stone railing. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating.

Finally, he barked an order to the soldiers. "Take her back to the dungeons! Her execution is postponed until Alpha Ardent regains consciousness. He will decide if her excuses are worth his mercy."

He turned and swept away, his black cape billowing behind him like a storm cloud.

The soldiers didn't be gentle. They shoved the scratchy sack back over my head and dragged me off the stage. But as the darkness of the bag swallowed my vision again, I didn't feel despair.

I felt a spark of hope. I had bought myself time. I wasn't dead.

Yet.
