CASEY"Oh, Casey, are you here yet? Let's join us."The Werner brothers gather in the library. They sat in a circle on reading chairs. I entered because a few moments ago, they also invited me to join. Although I don't know for what purpose."What's actually going on?" I asked frankly and took a seat next to Eren. Of the three of them, only Eren makes me the most comfortable."This was Eren's idea. You'd better explain to Casey," asked Raff, pointing at Eren with a cold face.I know that every day, Raff always acts cold to me, even though, at certain moments, he is hot and very protective. Today, it feels very different. Maybe it's just my feeling.After meeting on the street when the first snow fell yesterday, Raff became even colder to me. Was it because of the panties incident? But I have returned it."I turned to Eren and asked for an explanation.""Oh, it's actually nothing important. It's just we need to do this. Actually, I suggest to others to give special time to our parents.
CASEYThe four of us are having breakfast. Our parents had left earlier for pack business."About yesterday, if you object to being the only girl and having to stay overnight with us, we have a solution for that."I stopped my activity of bribing pasta, and I looked at Eren. Is he serious?"What solution can you offer?""Maybe we won't stay in the tree house. Because that place is too remote and you might not be comfortable. Therefore, I took the initiative to change the location where we stay in the winter camp.""Where is the place?""I have a friend from Pack Atlas. His family owned a winter camp. He gave me permission. We can use some of the tents for a few days.""Pack Atlas? Can we camp in another Pack's territory?""Well, no problem," Malik muttered. "We don't have to be enemies with all packs. We have a good relationship with Pack Atlas. The alpha is one of the founders of Terrasen Academy. We know the Atlas family well. We often even hunt together."I just rounded my lips."W
CASEYI'm very tired and sleepy. I no longer care what time it is. I vaguely heard Amanda doing something. I'm still trying to figure out what. When I opened my eyes, I saw her quietly sneaking out.In the cabin that Amanda and I stayed in, there were two beds separated by a white partition made of acrylic. Amanda occupied the bed near the window.I was still half sleepy but also conscious when I saw her leave the room. Her silhouette was reflected on the partition because of the light shining from outside the window. I saw Amanda wearing thick clothes.I didn't care and fell asleep again.I was back asleep for some time. I am still determining when Amanda will come back. I heard a very loud sound.When I turned around and faced the partition, I briefly saw someone's shadow. The shadow jumped straight from Amanda's bed.I thought because I was still sleepy, I couldn't see clearly. But I felt something strange."Amand-"I was going to reprimand Amanda, but I quickly covered my mouth an
CASEYI cried without a sound. My body swayed with my head down, and the Grunger monster grabbed my one leg upwards. My head feels very painful and dizzy. From the men's hut, I saw Malik crawl out."Malik!" I said, desperately hoping for help.I want anyone to help me. I'm so scared.It's still dark now. Camping conditions are no longer the same as when we first arrived. Even from an upside-down position, I could see the chaos well. Several huts and tents were badly damaged. The occupants fell to the ground unconscious. Blood splattered everywhere.What happened? What is this Grunger monster doing to this camp?"Werner, have you woken up from your dream?" shouted the Grunger monster in a shrill voice. "Now, watch how I will snatch this girl from your care and protection.""Casey, I will save you!" shouted Malik breathlessly."Let go of that girl, you fucking monster!" threatened Malik while trying to kneel and get up.My long hair swayed until the tips touched the frozen ground. Inste
CASEYWe stayed at Pack Atlas campground a few days longer than originally planned. Besides waiting until my health was completely restored, our warriors also worked hard to help repair the damaged camping area.The Werner brothers moved me to a makeshift tent. This tent is closely guarded by warriors and hunters from our pack. They all worked hard to guard and protect each other if a possible follow-up attack came.My body has returned to normal. The wound no longer has scars. The pain has also disappeared.That morning, I exited the tent to enjoy the winter in the camping area. I wear very thick clothes, even layered jackets.By the fire, I saw Malik roasting marshmallows. I walked over to him, but Amanda suddenly hugged Malik first."I want one, too," Amanda exclaimed.I stopped seeing their closeness. Roasting marshmallows in the morning for breakfast? They are absolutely ridiculous."Here, take mine. Let me burn another new one. Be careful, it's still hot," said Malik casually.A
CASEY Raff managed to take off the outer jacket I was wearing. Apart from the jacket, I still wore two more layers of clothes. He stopped his efforts to remove my wet clothes. I gripped my shirt tightly with both hands crossed in front of my chest so he wouldn't open it any more. "Do not move! You'll freeze if you wear wet clothes," said Raff, hugging me. With my body shivering more and more, I wanted to rebel. However, there is a strong urge from within to accept that warm embrace. Right now, I can't think. I just want to be warmed. I felt Raff's muscular arms hug me. It felt warm and soft when he touched my wet back. "Take off your clothes," whispered Raff, which made me suddenly melt, and I couldn't resist it. That's when I looked up. "Raff?" My pupils dilated. Raff grabbed the bottom of my sweater and prepared to pull it up. When the sweater reached my stomach, I realized I was in danger. "No!" I snapped as I stepped back to avoid Raff. "What are you going to do to me?"
CASEY "What does that mean, Eren?" He grinned like a child. "It means you are special. Like food, special dishes are served at the party's peak." "I don't understand. Does that mean it's good or bad for me?" The thought of me being the main dish was a little scary. "Why did you come to my tent earlier?" "Oh, I almost forgot. This is a little embarrassing." "Just say it." "Can I borrow one of your unused trousers? I only bought shorts. How stupid I am." Eren was still kneeling in front of me. He looked at my cold feet, wearing only shorts. When I was busy with my thoughts, I didn't realize that Eren suddenly opened my legs. He also extended his mouth wide until a pair of wolf fangs emerged. When I realized it, I felt Eren's breath on my thigh. He bit my open thigh. I was shocked and groaned softly. "Eren, what are you doing?" I pushed his head away. "Sorry, I'm curious if you're as sweet as cake. I stood up and wanted to run away. "We're not done yet. I'm just kidding.
CASEY"I'm lost!"This is so embarrassing. Since then, I've just been going round and round here. I am curious to know how many times I have seen the same tree. I am tired.I fell to my knees on the surface of the forest soil covered in rotting humus. I looked up at the sky, whose colour had turned purplish orange."It'll be dark soon. Why did I dare to go this far? Why should I go into the forest and follow Malik? I don't know this place. And who knows what wild animals there are in this forest."I forced myself to get back to my feet even though I was stumbling. While holding on to one of the tree trunks. I had marked the tree trunk using a rock I found, but I came back to it again."Even though I just wanted to see the aurora, I ended up getting lost far from where I was supposed to be. It's impossible in the middle of a dense forest like this, right? They say the aurora should be visible on the mountain ridge area, which is a field of eternal flowers."I'm sure I heard people at t
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
