CASEY"Mama, why did you have to take me shopping today? Can't you go with David?""Casey, accept me. It's been a long time since we went shopping together. There are many things I want to do with you as a fellow woman. I've noticed that you've been too busy with your siblings lately. I feel jealous. When was the last time I combed your hair?""Mama, I'm not a kid anymore. Besides, Lusina always treats me like a baby. She's even worse than you. Even though I'm almost 17 years old.""That's why I dragged you out of the house and asked you to go shopping together. You'll be 17 in a few months. Aren't you worried?""Why should I worry?"Mom glanced at me. I don't understand the meaning.We are at the mall. Mama dragged me into a reasonably well-known clothing shop. There were many pretty clothes, but I wasn't interested."17 means you will get your wolf. And more importantly, you will know who your fated mate is. Don't you get excited thinking about it?""Mate…"I'm pensive. I have been
CASEYAfter we entered the kitchen, I dragged Lusina's arm until she almost fell."Tell me the truth. What are you hiding? Why can't we go through the front door? I was sure I saw you coming out the front door when I was in the taxi."Lusina's face turned pale. She immediately lowered her head and tried to avoid eye contact with me."Tell me, or I'll get angry! Aren't you an assistant hired specifically to serve me? If you betray me, I will get rid of you right now.""Please forgive, Miss. I didn't mean to lie to you at all. It is just…""Just what? Say it clearly!" I scolded Lusina because I was annoyed.I have never been angry with Lusina. Just don't talk loud. This time, I was really annoyed and curious."Actually… I received a special request from Alpha Raff to remove anyone who came to the house today. Because Alphpa Raff is receiving guests in his room."Lusina said with her eyes almost closed with a terrified facial reaction."Raff is receiving guests in his room? Is that a gir
CASEY"So you were eavesdropping on our conversation?" Raff was furious."I just want to ensure you won't touch that girl in this house!""I won't do it as long as I live with my family. I also know the limits.""I can't understand the attitude of you two!""Don't think about it. For me, Sanna is not a girl. Even though she looks like a girl, if you get to know her closely, you will find she looks more like a boy. You can stay in your room and be calm. Don't wander around if you don't want Sanna to see you in this house.""Not a girl?" I laughed when I heard that. "Obviously, I heard you guys being… ahem…"I felt embarrassed when I was about to say that to Raff."I can't believe you guys haven't been friends for long. Don't think I don't know the boundaries between friends. What you did in the room earlier was not the attitude of a friend!"Raff frowned and remained standing stiffly in front of me. I sat on the bed with my hair and clothes a little messy. Raff carried me like a sack a
CASEY"Hey, don't mess with things in random people's rooms.""It doesn't matter. We're brothers. You've also allowed me to use the stationery I want if I run out of stationery for drawing, right?""Besides, why are you still busy drawing at a time like this? Have you packed?"I turned to Eren. He was putting some clothes into a suitcase."Pack? Are we leaving?"Eren grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. I can easily dodge it."Hey, what did I do wrong? Why did you throw a pillow at me?"I focused again on choosing some pencils in Eren's stationery supply."Eren, have you never used this equipment? Everything looks still new. You're really lazy about studying, aren't you?"Eren glared at me."Are you crazy? Of course, I used the stationery well. I deliberately bought a lot of stock because you are careless and waste your writing equipment but don't want to buy it yourself.""Oh really? I'm touched to have a brother as caring as you.""Nonsense. Hurry and pack. Our parents must be waiti
CASEYThis is very unfair to David Werner's family. David Werner's remarriage to my mother proves he has overcome the toughest challenges in life. Meanwhile, my mother intended to marry David to gain protection. Brigitta married David for me.Immediately, I looked down weakly and really felt guilty.Then I... we have to really look after this household. There should be no unique feelings between me and my half-brothers. If that happens, there will be many people who will be injured. And the ones who suffer more are probably our parents."Hey, Casey, do you always dress sexy like this at home?""What?" I needed clarification about answering Jasmine's question."It must be tough for Eren and his siblings if they had to live in the same house as you, and you deliberately dressed sexy like that."My cheeks turn red. I was embarrassed and annoyed by Jasmine's very impolite question."Why do you hate me so much, Jasmine? Even though it's the first time we've met. It seems like you really do
CASEY"You still reading that book? Is it that interesting?"I didn't realize how long I'd been reading the book until Eren returned after a shower. I immediately wiped my tears and turned to him."Are you crying?""This book makes me sad and happy at the same time. This book is like a diary in general. It was really written in heart-touching sentences. I didn't expect your grandfather's first love to be a human girl."Eren nodded. "It seems my grandmother doesn't know this either, and they are both dead. This house was inherited by Grandma Brenda – my grandmother's sister. No one dared to touch this room. So they really left it as it was. Only occasionally will the servants come to clean.""Eren, may I ask a question? What kind of person was your first love?"Eren became embarrassed. I just realized that Eren smells really good. Maybe it's because he just finished showering. He looked away and pretended to be busy choosing a book on the shelf.I walked closer to Eren. I brought my fa
CASEY"Well suited! This traditional red dress really suits you, Casey!"My mother screamed hysterically and with joy when she saw me come out of the room in the red dress they had chosen for me.I just blushed and didn't know what kind of response to give. All the families have gathered and are ready to go to the place where Aunt Rose's wedding will be held."Gosh, Casey, I can't get enough of your looks. You are wonderful and blooming like a flower today.""Mama, please calm down. Don't make me even more embarrassed.""Brigitta is right," continued David. "Everyone will see you today. I'm sure you'll steal the attention of all the party guests. Maybe you even look as charming as the bride.""Are you guys teasing me on purpose?""Even though that was my honest compliment," exclaimed Mom."Stop it! Don't keep teasing me. I am so ashamed."I puffed out my cheeks. Even though this red dress is a little too tight on my body. I needed to be more confident when I put it on. I thought they
CASEY"I also don't really like attending formal events like this. But I was forced by Raff to come and accompany him. However, we must congratulate Aunt Rose.""Oohh…""You also hate crowds like this, right? But what I saw earlier was that you really enjoyed it. You even blush when you get a bouquet of flowers and become the center of attention. Did you really expect it from the start?"I sneered at Malik. When I was about to reply to his harsh words, Jasmine and Eren suddenly approached us."You guys still here? People had already left to participate in the fireworks display at the top. It's best to hurry if you don't want to miss it."Jasmine looks so happy. She hugged Eren's arm and was so spoiled by him."Come on, Eren, let's go.""Aren't you coming, Malik? It would be troublesome if they were separated. You might have forgotten the way to the top because it's been too long since you've been here.""I am not a child who will be separated. If I'm separated and don't know the way 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
