Year 2135 Trix, a sniper forged by the Russian mafia, carries in her eyes a flawless nanotech system-and in her veins, scars that memory refuses to erase. Amidst storms of toxic snow, implants that pierce flesh, and AI-controlled surveillance systems, The Red Snow tells the story of a renegade daughter who turns pain into ammunition and rewrites her identity in blood. "She wanted to make sure the last drop of his blood would spill. And with it, every pain he ever inflicted on her. And it would." Part of the Fragmented Universes collection-where collapse, identity, and memory burn, bleed, and transcend. Other fragments await.

Chapter 1 COLD BREATH

MARCH 2ND, 2135

Trix held the cigarette between her lips

and took a long drag.

Then she adjusted the sniper rifle against the ground.

The scope was locked on him-

direct, inescapable.

The man's forehead sat dead center in the crosshairs

as he chatted with that guy-

the right-hand man.

Obvious.

Because he smiled.

And he only smiled with that fucker.

Only with him.

No one else.

She dragged too hard.

Coughed.

Pulled her hands from the rifle to grab the cigarette.

Fuck.

She sent the command to the nanites in her implanted eyes.

In an instant, the scope projected in the holoscreen ahead.

She paced back and forth,

her eyes glued to every move he made.

The rifle responded instantly,

mirroring each tilt of his head,

every gesture,

as if it could see on its own.

They made sure she'd never miss a target.

Her eyes would see everything-

and everyone.

And her bullets would pierce them all.

Trix and the weapon were one;

the only one that never failed her.

Never missed a shot.

I See You, her name.

Would that shit ever end?

The thought crept in-relentless.

She always pushed it away.

Not that she hated this life.

There was pleasure in hunting down her millionaire targets in Zenith,

whose public lives were built on her back.

But now and then, she wondered:

What would it be like to be in their place?

Sometimes, living in the shadows got old.

Did their papa fuck them over too?

Her vision zoomed in on the man seated at the table-

her father.

Papers scattered around.

He held a financial statement from the Bratva.

Trix zoomed in on the documents.

She didn't give a shit about any of it.

Never had.

What pissed her off

was hearing him repeat, over and over,

that she'd be the next leader of the Russian mafia-

that she had to obey.

She obeyed.

He lied.

They hurt her.

Trix took another drag,

closed her eyes,

let the memories flood in.

She felt every scar etched inside her.

She wanted to make sure

that the last drop of his damned blood would spill.

And with it,

every pain he ever carved into her.

And it would.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
