CASEYWe returned to Terassen. After several days of not coming to school to attend Aunt Rose's wedding, friends in the class chat group told me that a shocking incident occurred at the academy.This morning, I went to school by bus. As soon as I crossed the gate, I was shocked to see the building on the right wing burned to the ground. Smoke was still rising in several parts, mixed with firefighting water droplets. The roof had even collapsed. There is a security line around the place."So, the fire really happened?" I muttered while looking at the charred building."Have you heard the news?" Amanda was suddenly standing next to me.I turned around and was slightly surprised because Amanda suddenly acted familiar."About the fire, you guys were talking about in the class chat group?"Amanda just shrugged her shoulders indifferently."Some gossip I heard said several naughty girls were smoking secretly on the roof of the right-wing building. They caused the fire. They said they were a
CASEY"Where did that person go? I'm sure he was somewhere around here."I continued running through old shop buildings that had long been abandoned. The road there is slightly uphill. In some parts, I saw that there were stairs for pedestrians.I climbed the rusty stairs. Suddenly, my skirt got caught on one of the iron sticks sticking out. I stopped to pull up my dress, but the iron instead scratched my thigh."Damn!" I'm hurt.On the roof of one of the empty shop buildings, I saw a man standing in a brown coat and shoulder-length black hair. He grinned. But he's not the person I'm looking for.The man put out his sharp claws. I need to find out who that person is. He's also secretly following me.His nails looked sparkling under the reflection of the sun. As if he kept watching and paying attention to my injured thigh. I tried to cover my wound with my hand.Suddenly, he jumped like a flying squirrel and landed right behind me.I turned around in surprise. I had time to pull out a
CASEY"Welcome to Pack Werner's moon party," greeted the twins – Eren and Malik.They stood in front of the gate of a magnificent building in the center of Pack Werner. The two of them were waiting for me on purpose because other guards were on duty to receive guests at tonight's party.I came together with Raff. I've never been to this place. This building is ancient and historic."This is our pack's activity center building," whispered Raff. "It's only open to all members when parties and important activities like this exist. Leaders and elite members often visit the rest to discuss politics."Raff explained while still holding my shoulder. We just crossed the gate. The twins were escorting behind us.The last time I went to a moonlight party at Pack, Werner was coming here. I am figuring out what party this is for.While walking towards the main party venue, I was repeatedly amazed. There were lots of people who came to the party, male and female pack members. They all look so styl
CASEYAs quickly as Raff reached out his claws to Gin, and just as quickly, he became so calm and controlled."Don't be so serious, Gin! Just a small welcome for you. Isn't that right, little brothers?" Raff said to the twins and asked them to step back.I could only squeeze the hem of my dress with trembling hands. Almost. I don't know what would happen if Raff insisted on keeping his claws."Casey, come here!" Raff sat on a long sofa provided in the garden. The sofa is surrounded by beautiful flowers. "Sit here, next to me!"What is this? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become tense?"Casey, you want to, right?" Raff tried to persuade me."Oh, I'll just be here." I still stood stiffly beside Gin."Casey!" Raff's voice rose and sounded very serious. I got goosebumps hearing that.I also can't argue to prevent the situation from getting worse. I approached the sofa where Raff was sitting. Then Raff grabbed my waist quickly. He sat me on his lap. I screamed in surprise."Next to me is
CASEY"Malik?"I turned around and was shocked to realize that Malik was standing behind me, showing off his sharp fangs."Yes, if permitted, I would love to mark you. One sweet bite on the nape of your neck, and forever you will be… my slave."Reflexively, I stepped back while holding the back of my neck, which gave me goosebumps. At that moment, Eren appeared and pushed Malik's chest quite hard.I watched all that and suddenly felt sick. Why do my feelings become mixed like this? Haven't I always imagined and wanted to be Malik's mate? I don't know how many hundreds of times I've always suspected that Malik would mark me as his mate.Raff just sat relaxed on the sofa and was completely unaffected by our actions. The corner of my eye caught Gin leaving."Sorry, I have to go!" I said in a hurry.Eren suddenly grabbed my hand. "Let's dance!""Sorry, Eren. I have to go. Maybe next time if there's a chance.""Go where?" Malik inquired very possessively. "Are you going to follow that demo
CASEYBang! Bang! Bang!Gin repeatedly fired the gun at the shooting target. I stood behind him while shuffling a little in fear. I closed both ears tightly.Currently, we are at the headquarters of the hunters' association. To be precise, we were in human territory."How long will you be there?" Gin asked without turning to me."I'm finally bored of staying at the inn. You promised to teach me how to use a hunting rifle, so when?" I grumbled irritably. "Since we arrived here two days ago, you've always been gloomy. But it doesn't matter to me as long as you're okay." I said nonchalantly.At that time, Gin glanced at me briefly while reloading his bullet."Then what do you want from me, My Lady? Weren't you the one who insisted on coming here? I also didn't promise you anything."Gin's words made me even more annoyed. I skipped the academy for a few days to accompany him to the hunters' base.Instead of answering my question, Gin became even more brutal in firing his bullets at the ta
CASEYThe furthest memory stored in my head happened after that snowy night. I was alone with Brigitta. Every afternoon, she would light the fireplace. During that time, I still liked standing in front of the window of Brigitta's house, looking at the falling snow."You haven't spoken to me since you got here, Casey. Don't you like me?"That's when I turned to Brigitta and stared at her for a long time. She got up from in front of the fireplace and approached me. She tried to see what I was looking at outside the window. Because since arriving there, I just kept staring out the window."Calm down, kid. "As long as you are here, you don't need to be afraid of anything," said Brigitta.She returned to the kitchen with two plat
CASEYI put my legs off the bed and sat with my head bowed. I felt my chest, which was increasingly pounding. My hidden memories are now starting to emerge little by little."So it wasn't all a dream and hallucination? It shouldn't be. How can I forget all those memories? And mom never discussed it with me either."I turned to the bedside table. I looked at my cell phone, which was lying there. I could call Mama right now and ask about the memories that suddenly popped into my head, but maybe Mama wouldn't want to answer.When I was attacked by two wolves that snowy afternoon, Mama came with her hunting rifle and shot the two wolves dead. That night, I was removed from the werewolf's country house and moved to a city."Mama, did those two wolves die because of me?"At that time, I was really scared. I knew we were just living on the pack. And I don't know what punishment Mama and maybe I will receive after killing the two wolves."Because of that, we must leave here before they realiz
