MALIK"Casey?"I was amazed because Casey suddenly grabbed my sleeve. When I watched, her face was so pale that she suddenly collapsed."You shower with all your clothes on?"I had just returned from the pack and would shower upstairs, but I expected everyone to stay in the bathroom."Why are you using the bathroom at the end of the hall? Do you have your own bathroom? You already told me this shared bathroom is not safe for you. You… The only girl here."I grabbed a towel and wrapped Casey's wet body. I picked her up and took her to my room. My room was much closer, and I didn't want to waste time.I took the cell phone and ca
RAFF"Calm yourself, okay? I can't tell you now. Please give me a little more time. Because I still have to make sure someone else is okay." I kept trying to convince Eren. "Don't put yourself in danger!"It seemed Eren wanted more than my answer. And he should only be happy once he gets what he wants."But, Raff, I want to help you! We're brothers and my Mom... She's our parent!" Eren insisted on his opinion.I stood up with a sharp gaze. "I told you, Eren. Give me time. Please don't push me any further than this. I will definitely explain everything to you in due time. I promise there will be no more secrets I need to hide."Eren looked down and mumbled. "I'm sorry," he said desperately. "Actually, Grandfather asked me to come home to him.""Yes, I know. Papa already told me.""If I don't go home to him, he will most likely take Malik by force. So I'll go to his place. But-""Don't worry, Eren. You are still my most precious brother." I stepped forward and patted Eren's shoulder. "O
CASEYFor some time, I stood still in the second-floor hallway. Even though Raff was gone, I still stood alone, feeling increasingly disheveled.Gin came out of the room and walked closer from behind. From his body odor and the sound of his footsteps, I knew it was him. Gin knelt down and picked up the gun I had just dropped."Casey, what's wrong? Did someone attack you?" Gin's voice sounded so worried. He handed me the gun that had fallen back into my hand. "Why are you still outside your room at night?"With a blank stare, I tried to turn my head and look for Gin's figure; he was actually right in front of me."Gin, why do I always tremble every time I face Raff? There are so many things I want to ask him, but I'm always weak and don't dare to look him in the eye. You remember about my adoption history in the association, right?"Gin reached out to me to calm me down. But suddenly, he withdrew his hand again. "You better not be in a hurry, Casey. You can talk about it when you're re
CASEYFor days, I was still restless. I couldn't shake that Raff might have something to do with my past.Gin and I have visited the Hunter Association to check my adoption history records. When I checked the visit book, I was sure I saw Raff Werner's name as one of the visitors. Raff came a few days before Gin and I arrived there.That finding struck me as a little strange. Non-hunters should not be allowed to check hunters' records. Raff has the privilege of being a member of the Werner family, who has committed to the Hunter Association to work together."I have to ask Raff directly! I can't just sit here and keep guessing. I'm sure Raff has something to do with my past. I'd better meet and ask him right now!"I quickly changed clothes and wrapped a knitted scarf around my neck. I wore knee-high boots and added a wool hat to my head."You want to go?" Malik greeted me when we passed each other at the door of his room."Well, I want to visit the training centre in the pack to meet R
GINI looked all over the house for Casey's whereabouts. I'm like a chick that lost its mother. I continued to worry and panic as I ran into the living room and collided with Lusina, who was cleaning with the others.Bruh!"Young Master, what's wrong?" groaned Lusina. She should have been angry, but she was polite to me instead."Where's Casey?" I shouted in panic. "Did you see her?" I asked the omegas who were there."Earlier, I saw Miss Casey leaving with Alpha Malik on a motorbike," said one of the omegas with a frightened face."Where to?"She shook her head. "I only heard glimpses of their conversation. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Casey will visit the training center to meet Alpha Raff."I clenched my jaw until I heard a clicking sound and ran out of the house. Everyone looked at me, leaving in surprise."A spirited teenager," muttered Dominic as he passed me at the gate.After grabbing my jacket, I ran as hard as I could towards the nearest bus stop. I clenched my fists and contin
ISAACI received an assignment from Mr. Rido to guard and protect De Comte's body. Mr. Rido kept and hid De Comte's body from the sealing place. Now, I stood contemplating the coffin sealed with a rune before me. For some reason, the figure of Casey, who had been my best friend for some time, suddenly flashed in my head. I shook my head to dispel the image of her."You're just a tool, Casey! Your kindness means nothing to me. You just need to wake up from your long dream. You must give your soul for the body in this casket! You're just food for him. You're nothing!" I shouted in annoyance.I was upset because of the weakness of my own feelings for her. Suddenly, a feeling of pity rose in my chest when I imagined that Casey would become an offering for De Comte's resurrection.No pity! I once again made up my mind and my goal to take revenge for the death of my parents on the Werner family."Casey is part of them. Someone must be sacrificed for revenge!"***ERENI quietly stood outsid
GIN"Cas, stop! I will go!" I shouted, still with my back to Casey."What is wrong? I just want to change clothes and sleep! I'm exhausted," Casey answered nonchalantly.What? Am I thinking too far? I glanced at Casey briefly. She actually took off her wet pajamas and dropped them on the floor just like that. Casey walked to the closet and looked for a change of clothes. While doing all that, she passed me without any clothes on her body. And Casey did all of that effortlessly.I still bowed my head while holding my chest, which was pounding incredibly. I kept my eyes closed and didn't move from there."How can I live with this girl for so many years? She's so scary. Scarier than even the most evil demon.""Are you calling me names?" Casey quipped."Are you done?" I'm still facing the wall.Casey didn't answer. Good grief! I can't hold myself anymore. She just kept teasing me. Does she think she's still a child who can freely be naked in front of me? She's a girl now, and I'm a guy!I
GIN"I smell the scent of Casey's soul that I know so well!" I stood behind Raff with my sword raised."Gin?" Casey whispered."I told you that even if I have to fight this world, I don't care! I won't let you turn Casey into a monster!" I shouted, full of anger and disappointment at Raff.Raff just closed his eyes without releasing Casey from his arms."Raff, you changed Casey!" I shouted once again to demand an explanation from him.Casey pushed aside Raff's body and blocked my sword. "No, Gin... He..."My eyes were sharp and ready to kill anyone who got in my way at this time. I felt one of my demon horns sticking out of my head and black veins carving across the surface of my skin."He... my destined mate!" Casey shouted loudly.I trembled to the point that my grip on my sword became unstable. My pair of evil eyes opened wide. I paled instantly. The snow falling from the hole in the church roof seemed to be a sign that I would fail at once."Sorry, Gin..." Those were the last word
GINI stood on the roof of the tallest building in the center of Terrasen City. A hunting sword was slung across my back. I saw a dead landscape below me. No one was active there. No life. After an incident between the werewolf council and the hunters association erupted at Terrasen Academy, the city was abandoned by all its citizens.Two limousines passed by at medium speed. Each limousine has a Werner family emblem on the muzzle.My body and face were hit by the cold wind. My spine still hurts where my wings slashed. Now, I'm just half a demon without wings. I don't have a place, but I have a purpose. I am a hunter!I let my silver hair ripple in the wind. "Goodbye, Casey! Even though I'm only a half-demon without wings, I will be stronger when we meet again. I'll hunt down the Werner family and get you back!"I don't know why I suddenly became so careless. I didn't realize that someone was behind me. When I was about to draw my sword and turn around, another person was beside me."
EREN"It's about time, isn't it?" I turned to Malik, who looked still and silent, leaning against the window frame of my room.I just finished packing clothes and personal items that are very important, and I can't leave them behind. The omegas carried some of my travel bags and suitcases into the yard. There was a car carrying goods waiting there."I didn't think it would end like this," Malik said quietly."Why? Are you disappointed with the final result? I don't think it's over until Casey makes a decision.""It is over!" Malik answered firmly. "I've made a decision, and this time, Papa allows it."Malik turned to me with a forced smile. "I... I won't go with you to a new place. I will continue my musical activities and travel around the world. I feel like I can write heartbreak songs for the girls out there—my fans! You know, right? That's what I've always wanted from the beginning?"I was surprised to hear that. So that's why Malik hasn't looked enthusiastic since yesterday? I kn
MALIKEren and I went to the council. We stood in the courtyard of the council building with complete confidence. Several guards blocked our way."Going against the council and coming here to make a scene?" said the guard. "It seems like you don't care about your life.""Tell me where our Dad is?" Eren shouted."Davies Werner is under arrest! He must serve his sentence.""You betrayed him, didn't you? Shouldn't the werewolves be subject to Davies Werner's policies?" I growled."Shut up!" the guard replied. "This was the Werner family's fault from the start! You have created unreasonable rules between the werewolf race and other races!""Tch, in front of us, you said you agreed. Behind our backs, you betrayed!" Eren scoffed angrily."Who is the traitor here?" quipped the guard. "You have created a mixed race between demons and werewolves. You are also the one who killed many pure-blood werewolves. As a result of this sin, Davies and Raff Werner were sentenced to sleep forever!""Hah!"
GINMy clothes, being torn and covered in blood, felt very uncomfortable and disturbing. I took off my shirt and only wore trousers. My body changed. I became more muscular, with blue-black veins all over my back and arms that looked snaking.I followed De Comte's scent through the small forest behind the school. My silver earrings sparkled as I turned and was hit by the full moon's light."Werewolves!" I growled.I smelled a lot of werewolf corpses there. I continued walking deeper into the forest. Along the footpath where people usually go for exercise, there were many bodies of werewolves strewn about.I growled. "They are citizens of Terrasen City!"I checked one of the werewolves who was lying down. His chest was torn. His heart was lost and taken by De Comte."Where is he?"On the outside of the forest, I found De Comte pulling out the heart of a female werewolf who looked like she had just come home from work. The condition of the city is very chaotic. No residents were passing
GINI tried to free Casey. I channeled my demonic energy into the blade of my hunter's sword. I ran and broke De Comte's magic snare that was wrapped around Casey's body when De Comte was caught off guard by the wound on his chest. When the magic snare broke, Casey fell to the floor unbalanced.I stood up, panting. My body felt very hot and wanted to explode. My pale skin began to grow black veins that intertwined like roots. My horns are also getting more significant."Gin?" Casey tried to take two steps closer but stopped as soon as I looked at her with bright red eyes."Gin...," Casey stubbornly said."Danger!" I shouted when I realized De Comte was standing behind Casey again.I was about to slash my sword but suddenly fell. The bones of my shoulders and back stretched and grew more prominent. I groaned in pain with intermittent breathing."What is it?" surprised Malik, who was helping Lusina."His power is uncontrollable," said Eren."Gin," whispered Malik, looking concerned."Th
CASEYI saw that Eren had his own body back. He was assisted by Lusina and Dominic. They stood in front of the Terrasen Academy dormitory building. When Malik and I arrived, they were ready for the hunt we had always practiced with Pack Werner members. As for Raff, he had to go to the city border with Ailyn and her two younger siblings."Casey, Malik," said Eren. "Are you ready?""Where is De Comte?" I asked impatiently.They turned to me."He's in front of us," Eren answered. "Just think of this as a hunting game we always play in the forest when the full moon comes.""Yokai!" Dominic answered excitedly.Lusina brushed her hanging bangs in a distinctive style. "They have ruined my cooking schedule. They have to pay!"We all went together to the outbuilding in the Terrasen dormitory to look for De Comte's lair. As soon as we pushed open the heavy and oversized door, the smell of death rose and was very strong."What is this?"We entered more deeply into the dark and quiet dormitory bu
ISAAC"Isaac, what happened? Why are you hurt?"I smiled at Gin. "Are you still worried about me? From the start I had only one goal, to find my parents' killer! I will do everything I can for that. When my parents were murdered, I didn't see who did it. But, there was Raff Werner. Since then, I've kept finding out about them--the Werner brothers. I'm willing to go to Terrasen Academy.""What happened to you?" Gin asked while enduring the pain in his own body.He probably didn't expect that I was injured when I came there. Gin's grip on my chest made my wound bleed more."I chose to join the werewolf council to find old archives and records. In the hunter association, I didn't find any records. So, the only way is to join the council under Rido's rule. There, I found records of the crimes of the werewolves and all the humans who died by them."Gin growled.A few moments ago, when De Comte had just risen, I drove the sword inherited from my parents into his heart from behind. "De Comte
MALIKEren fell asleep after De Comte's soul left his body. I checked, and he's fine. I moved Eren to a safe place and went to the teacher's dormitory to look for Casey and Raff.Two white wolves were chasing away the other wolves that were coming towards the teacher's dormitory. They are Loyd and Lucas. The two brothers have been with us for a long time. Raff even sent them along with Ailyn to continue tracking Casey's whereabouts until they could finally lead Casey to Pack Werner.With their strong jaws, they tore the bodies of the werewolves who came under someone's orders. Their bodies were covered in blood and gasping for breath."How could they use these werewolves to attack us?""Yeah, let's just say their master is an intelligent person. Wolves for wolves and devils for devils. Meanwhile, Alpha Davies is being troubled by the council," said Loyd - a white wolf with black legs.I was about to join them when I saw Ailyn had just arrived."What are you doing here, Ailyn?" I asked
GINSuddenly, Raff fell to the floor. His body became unsteady. I approached him. Raff's face was ashen, and I saw wounds on his neck and both wrists."What's wrong with you?" I asked in surprise. Who could hurt Raff like this?"Oh, this?" He shows the scar on his wrist. "I just escaped death. The council defected. They locked me up in a special prison. But I managed to escape. That's not what I came to see you for!""What do you want, Raff?""We have been preparing for this moment for a long time. Only a few steps are left, and then all our plans will succeed. That plan... is you! The monster, De Comte, has risen from his coffin."My face became tense instantly."You have to destroy him!" said Raff while trying to stand up straight."I? Just do it yourself! I have nothing to do with all of you, eh.""Are you still going to pretend to close your eyes? Something inside you is starting to rebel."I narrowed my eyes."You were destined to become half devil for a reason. We've been planni
