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
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."
Casey Bright"Why are you wearing sunglasses in the house?"I almost choked on the juice I was drinking in the kitchen. I thought Mama wasn't home."Casey?"Mama came closer and tried to look at my face. I quickly turned away. She can't see my face."That's okay. This is the current fashion trend. How come you is at home?"At that time, I saw she was very panicked. Mama would play with her fingernails when she was panicking."I… have quit my job.""Why?""We're moving!""What? Again?" I pursed my lips in disappointment.This year, we have moved three times to live in three cities."Not a problem, right? We've done that many times.""Mom!" I protested. "That's not the case–""What is the problem?"I've opened my mouth to speak but in vain. She won't listen to me. She always has a reason to justify her every selfish decision. So I chose silence."Casey, can you hear me? Why are you silent and not answering? Did something happen to you today at school?"I drifted off into my own thoughts
Casey Bright"You guys know each other?" David and my mom were a little surprised.I turned to David, trying to explain. "I-""It's our first time meeting!" Malik interrupted my explanation.I looked at him, and he didn't look at me. As if I wasn't there."He's right. This is our first meeting." Although I didn't know his goal, I also followed Malik's play by claiming we didn't know each other. There's no way he'd forget me.I also returned Malik's hand. "Casey.""Malik," replied the young man briefly and coldly.I felt an icy stare and pierced him. He had given me the same look–full of hatred and disgust–two years ago in middle school.Maybe our parents should have realized we had been to the same school, even for only three months.I was only 14 years old when I transferred to Malik's school in Tuneca City. I can't possibly forget it.It was winter. I studied there for three months. During that time, I had no friends. Suddenly in the second month, a group of girls from another class
Malik Werner“Malik! Come down and greet our guest.”I was lying in bed playing on my phone. Oh, have they finally arrived? I’m so curious. Who is the woman who can finally conquer my dad’s heart which has been frozen for the past ten years?There have been various women who tried to approach my dad. But, they were all rejected flatly without a chance to form a relationship as mere friends.Dad was truly a loyal man. Even though our mother passed away ten years ago, he seems unable to turn his back on her.“Malik!”I still haven’t got out of bed. Isn’t it too late to visit? This time I heard Dad call with a slightly more urgent voice.Why is my dad so impatient? I can understand if he is so enthusiastic about his new wife-to-be.A week ago, when my dad returned from his job giving a seminar in the state, he immediately said he would marry again. We were all very surprised. Who is this woman? Moreover, my dad told me that she already has a daughter the same age as me. I thought my dad
CASEY“Oh, no, I overslept! How long have I been asleep? What's the time now?"I stuttered and got out of bed in a hurry. My feet are tangled in the blanket. I fell with my body first touching the floor."Ow!"I rubbed my elbow, which was in extreme pain.I don't remember how long I slept, but the room was still dark. I should have slept at most two hours since I got here. Because by the time we got to the Werners' house, it was past dinner time.My body feels very sticky. I want to take a bath.Slowly I opened the bedroom door. I don't want to cause a scene. I turned to the corridor right and left. My room fits in the middle. Malik is in the room on the right, while Eren is on the left. I have to keep my attitude so as not to disturb others.Unfortunately, in my room, there is no bathroom. I have to use the bathroom outside. But I need to find out where it is. On the first floor?I descended the stairs, too, with extreme caution. The house is so quiet.Of course, it's midnight, Casey
CASEY“Annoying… Annoying… Annoying…!”I kept grumbling while scrubbing my whole body using the bath sponge.I'm taking a bath. At first, I just wanted to pee, but seeing the comfortable bathroom and the large enough tub, I was tempted to shower.I'm tired of scrubbing. I was silent for a while. I was pensive while watching the water spilled from the tub.“What did he say? I seduced Raff? Seriously."Malik's words kept ringing in my mind."Don't get me wrong, Casey. He is the eldest son. His name is Raff. He's a little scary. We even call him a monster in this house. But Raff won't do anything dangerous if you don't tease him first.”I tried to shake off Malik's harsh words but failed. Malik did show me where the bathroom was. But he also added harsh words that hurt me afterward.“He called me a flirt girl? Then what about himself, who easily kissed girls and toyed with them with his good looks? Malik is a real asshole.”I punched the water's surface in the tub until it spurted out.“
CASEYMalik stood in front of me. I turned my gaze away from him. I'm so scared.What is he doing? Why is he undressing in front of me?I held on tightly to the towel, almost falling from my body, and closed my eyes because of fear. Something soft felt enveloped my body.I opened my eyes slowly and saw Malik tucking his shirt over my shoulders. I looked at Malik in surprise.So, he took off his clothes to put on me? He was willing to go bare-chested to lend me his shirt?"Stop this silly game, Casey. I know you're testing me. Honestly, I almost got carried away and couldn't help myself. But I still know that we are brothers. So don't do this again. Stay on the line. Next time the same thing happens, I'm not sure I'll be able to hold myself back anymore."I gripped tightly Malik's shirt that covered my body. It's warm. Malik's body temperature traces are still attached to this black long-sleeved shirt.It's embarrassing.Malik was still standing before me with his hands on his hips. I

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
