MALIKI pulled away from Casey a bit and pretended like everything was fine. "Are you awake, Casey? Isaac Knox came to see you."I saw Casey getting flustered. She was still lying down but slightly on her side and stared at Isaac."How are you, Casey?"Suddenly, Isaac rushed forward and pushed me away. He sucks."I just have a fever," Casey replied limply. "No serious injuries on me. I wasn't even hurt at all. I think I have a fever from exhaustion."I stood in the corner like an ornament they didn't even consider. I just kept watching the conversation between the two of them. Isaac really went overboard in showing his concern for Casey."Isaac… That night you–""Are you hungry, Casey?"Isaac seemed to avoid the conversation. Though I'm also curious."By coincidence, I stopped by the supermarket to shop for some ingredients. I'll make porridge for you. Malik, do you also want to help?"I was surprised because Isaac was suddenly excellent and sweet in front of Casey. Maybe because he j
CASEYMonday mornings are busy days at Pack Werner, especially at the Werner family mansion. Everyone returned to their respective activities after the complete moon festival celebration. I'm even very sorry for not being able to attend and join the festivities.I just left the room and went to the dining table for breakfast. I see that the kitchen is bustling. Some workers have just been brought in."Your breakfast, Miss."Lusina came and placed a waffle with chocolate sauce, strawberries, and fresh orange juice in front of me. I was alone at the big dining table. Werner's three Alphas have last been seen somewhere since morning."Lusina, why are there so many workers today? Will there be another celebration? Are there other festivals besides the full moon festival?"Lusina stood beside me, slightly back. She always waits for me during breakfast. Lusina took a step forward and bowed slightly towards me."No festival whatsoever, miss.""But why are you guys so busy? I even saw several
CASEYI saw the man beat Isaac and his friend unconscious. I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak. I was too scared to even scream for help. The attack reminded me of the escapes I had been doing with my mother all this time.It wasn't long before two more people appeared. They got out of a black van that I didn't realize had been parked there in the first place. They were a man and a woman wearing all black.The three men carried Isaac and his friend, who had fainted, by taking them on their shoulders. As if their bodies are so light. The two men brought them as if carefree.I could only be dumbfounded while tightly covering my mouth to not make a sound. I quickly hid in a public telephone booth that happened to be close to me.I crouched there while keeping my mouth shut tightly. My body shivered violently. At the bottom of the phone booth, there were little cracks I could peek through.I glanced at the blonde-haired woman in a black dress and turned in the direction where I wa
CASEY"Shut up and don't make a noise! Or they will find us, and our efforts in coming here will be in vain.""Raff?"I can only stare in shock. Even Raff covered my mouth with his hand. He hugged me from behind. Raff wasn't hugging me but holding my body, so we remained hidden in the dark area under the stairs.I'm so scared. I think they found me and arrested me.Raff's cell phone vibrated."Bastard, who contacted me at a time like this?"Raff quickly crushed his cell phone. Good grief!I saw the toe of one of the men who had taken Isaac on the steps directly above our heads."Was there an intruder?" shouted one of the kidnappers.The man checking the stairs bowed slightly. Raff hugged me tighter to back off and squeeze into the dark area."There isn't any! I didn't see anyone and didn't smell anyone's presence there. I think it was just the sound of rats accidentally rolling the pipe.""Are you sure?" asked his partner, who sounded doubtful."You doubt my sense of smell?" replied t
CASEYThe monster looked at me as if he had been waiting for my arrival for a long time. The blonde woman behind me grabbed both of my hands very tightly and was about to tie them up.I struggled and fought back, but she slapped me very hard. My head hurts, and my vision is blurry.What exactly is going on here? Who are these people? Why does my life, which was starting to be calm and peaceful, have to become complicated and always involved in problems? Is this the end of my life? I'm going to die under that monster's claws?Brum! Brum!I close my eyes and bow my head. Two motorbikes appeared from the stairs as the blonde woman dragged me away. One motorbike hit the monster trying to attack Isaac, and another hit the woman trying to pull me.The rope she had not yet tied slipped from my wrist."Werner brothers?" the blonde woman hissed.I focused my blurry vision to see the situation that was happening. The motorbike that attacked the monster was driven by Malik and Eren. Meanwhile, t
MALIKOn a whole moon night, it shines brightly and is perfectly round. We are standing in front of the old abandoned building where Casey was attacked by the Grunger monster yesterday. The kidnappers managed to escape. We decided to put hunters and warriors on guard there."Alpha!" greeted the two warriors guarding the entrance, slightly bowing towards us."Are there any results from the trail search?""Our hunters are trying their best."Eren glanced briefly at the bright moon. He opened his mouth and hid his fangs that were sticking out."Is it just my feelings?" muttered Eren. "It seems like someone is watching us from somewhere.""They're courageous if that's true," I said.We went further through long, dark alleys. When I first came down there following Casey, I ignored the details.Upon noticing our arrival, the hunters and warriors checking for traces in the abandoned old building immediately stopped their activities. They all formed a long line in unison and were ready to rep
MALIK"Are you stupid, Malik? What do you mean… I… Not attractive as a girl? Fucker. Who barged into my room without permission and is now going around judging me without anyone asking?"I don't know what Casey is bragging about. It felt like my head was really emitting hot steam. She hit me again with the pillow.I stood still and didn't even look at her. I just stared at the door that wasn't fully closed yet.At that moment, I realized Casey's body was reflected in the mirror frame near the door. God, she really was wearing clothes.I was stunned to see it. Then, I quickly closed my eyes.What do I do? Why do I enjoy it and am so curious to see it? This can't be! At this rate, I might lose my mind."Why are you muttering to yourself?" Casey grunted. "Malik, are you imagining bad things about me?" Now she's screaming right next to my ear."That's enough, Casey! Don't keep teasing me. If you're finished dressing, I'll leave the porridge here. And make sure you eat it all the way throu
CASEY"Want to run away?"Someone grabbed my body from behind, spun me around, and hugged me possessively. I felt tight and scared. I punched him in the stomach, but he was more intelligent than I thought.He held my body in his arms and smiled at me."Eren?"How could I not notice his presence?"Are you going to run away? You quietly slipped away and left the house. Not giving up after the recent incident? You want to be a bad girl, Casey?""I… let me go!""Don't want to! Since you sneaked in secretly, then I will give you a punishment. Tonight, you can't go back home. I will kidnap you!""What?"I haven't had time to finish my question; Eren has become a giant wolf. He forcefully lifted me onto his back and then took me running away from Pack Werner's area.I screamed in fear. Eren was going very fast."Hold on if you don't want to be thrown off!"I really hugged Eren's neck very tightly while closing my eyes. He didn't give me a choice. I buried my face in the hair around his thick
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
