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
MALIK"This soul fragrance!" I clenched both my hands tightly. I know that Casey has been resurrected.I only understood everything a while ago. At first, it was just a coincidence that we met Casey again and became brothers. The pounding heart I felt when I first met her was a mistake. All of these were signs that we were bound by the same blood.Casey is our lost cousin. My father has been looking for his whereabouts for a long time. When my father decided to remarry Brigitta, it was only because he wanted to forget our mother. They had planned all this very carefully.Now, I feel helpless. Eren is suffering and being used as a shell for De Comte's soul—the uncle and enemy we intensely hate. I have to do something to save Eren. If he continues to be a shell of De Comte, no one knows whether Eren can still return to normal.I jumped from my bedroom window and blocked Raff, who came with Casey in his arms."So, Casey is a demon-blooded lycan?" I asked, still in disbelief.Raff looked
