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
CASEYWe arrived at the top of the hill on time. Sigh! There were still a few minutes left before the fireworks started. The place was already full of visitors. The bridal couple is still the center of attention. I approached the others and greeted them."Wow, are you there yet, Casey?" Jasmine quipped. "I thought you'd be here in the morning."I just replied to Jasmine with a sullen face. I don't know why she hates me so much.Eren turned to me and came closer. He looked worried."Did something happen to you? Are you hurt? Why are you holding your shoes?"Jasmine interrupted us again and showered me with sharp gazes. She grabbed Eren's arm so he wouldn't get close to me.I have yet to have time to explain to Eren. Seeing Jasmine's attitude like that really made me sick. I'd better keep my distance from Eren."Where is Malik? Why did he let you go alone?" Raff approached me.At that time, I realized that Malik was no longer with me. I looked around and looked around. I still couldn't
CASEY"Because of what?""I thought you were lost. Suddenly, I didn't see you anywhere. So, I went looking for you. Even though I'm terrible, I have a good sense of smell. I followed your trail before it was completely erased, and I was able to get here."I removed my arms from Malik's waist and breathed a sigh of relief. The reasons I gave are reasonable enough, and he can accept them. That's not actually what made my feet go this far."Looking for me and following in my footsteps with sandals that big? You could fall. That's dangerous. Did Raff give you those sandals?"I could hear the jealousy in his voice. I immediately looked down and noticed the sandals I was wearing. I responded to Malik's sarcasm with a grin.Of course, I've stumbled and fallen several times earlier. I kept running and fussing with dresses and sandals that were too big.I didn't realize when Malik approached and suddenly cupped my face with both hands. When I looked up to meet his eyes, Malik didn't look like
CASEYThe spider-men tried to pounce their hands on my chest. It feels so intense. I can't breathe under this pressure. Their heads were stretched towards me with their tongues sticking out long and with a sharp tip.I could only close my eyes while crossing my hands in front of my face. I'm so scared. I couldn't even scream because I was too upset. And maybe this is the end of my life."Never touch a girl in our family!"I heard Raff screaming and growling. His voice was so strong and echoed inside my head.Instantly, the pressure in my chest disappeared. When I opened my eyes, Raff was already attacking the spider monster. Raff in his wolf form. They wrestle.Raff pounced on Spider-Man's neck until his head broke off and rolled onto the sloping ground. After that, both the head and the body that were separated suddenly turned into sparkling dust and were swept away in the air."Wh-what creatures, are they really?"I tried to sit with my breath in between watching all the terrible si
ERENWe gathered in Raff's room after the shocking incident at Aunt Rose's wedding party. Dad and the other pack members fought desperately to chase away the spider monsters so they wouldn't reach the party location.Malik knocked on the door and joined us."What about Casey?" Raff asked."It looks like she's tired. She's sleeping in her room accompanied by Jasmine.""Have you really confirmed it?" I was so worried about Casey's condition.Malik looked at me and seemed displeased because I doubted his words."What about Dad and the others? Are they injured?" Raff asked."There are no victims. They are fine," answered Malik. "I think now, Dad and the eldest are discussing the attack.""Am I the only one here who feels something is wrong?" I complained."What do you mean by strange things?" Raff looked at me seriously and asked for an explanation."Since Casey came to our family, there have been a lot of strange things happening. Fighting and being attacked by other packs is normal. But
