MALIKIn front of the frozen window, I saw a small messenger fox scratching its claws against the window ledge. I recognized the fox and immediately opened the window. The cold wind immediately blew hard, carrying snowflakes.I quickly closed the window again. Because I was very annoyed by the cold wind. When I realized the fox was already inside. She spun around on the hallway floor, and mist enveloped her body. Slowly, the fog grew higher, forming a medium vortex.The swirl of mist turned into a pale-faced female figure. She wore a housemaid's outfit with a white lace bandana on her head. Her hair was neatly coiled."Gosh, you surprised me!" I screamed in surprise."Sorry, Alpha Malik. I came to deliver a message to Alpha Davies.""My Dad is not at home. He had to leave the pack for the next few days. Was it the Council that sent you here? For personal matters or work?"The white fox, which turned into a woman in a maid's uniform, handed over a letter. "I just came to deliver a mess
MALIKInstead of the guest we were expecting to appear at the main door, we instead saw Eren emerge from his room and walk toward the crowd.He came wearing a black shirt with some of the buttons unbuttoned. The cuffs on his hands were also left unbuttoned. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were dim, not at all enthusiastic. I immediately approached him."Are you better? You don't have to go out."I prevented him from walking any further towards the crowd of invited guests."I'm sure the old man came just to stop by."Eren looked at me calmly. He really looks mature this time. "I haven't seen Grandfather for a long time. I just want to welcome him like everyone else."Eren continued to walk past me and also just past Raff."But–" I snapped.Of course, we all panicked. I also followed him, following Eren's steps. We all stood up and gathered in the living room.Bang!The door to the house opened by itself. Cold air immediately infiltrated the room that was crowded with werewolv
ERENIt felt like my whole body was going weak. Slowly, I could feel how Raff was absorbing my energy until I almost fell to the floor.When I realized, Raff had moved from the sofa and was hugging me. He supported my body so I didn't fall to the floor. He also asked me to breathe as much as possible to get rid of the tightness – the effect of the energy absorption that had just occurred."I'm sorry, Eren. I lost control, and I almost hurt you.""I don't care even if other people always think of me as the family guard dog. If that's what we can do for this pack and also for your purposes, why not? You were always kind and protected us.""You don't need to worry. I'm fine. Act as usual so Malik doesn't get suspicious of us."I was shocked and touched when Raff suddenly rubbed the top of my head gently. In front of everyone, we always show quarrels and debates as fellow brothers. Actually, in my heart, I really love and respect him. I didn't even think that Raff, who was always cold and
CASEYAfter I met and greeted Mr. Rido, Dominic took him to the hotel to meet my parents. I keep thinking and worrying about Gin, who might really feel isolated and alone in his apartment right now. I went back to check on him."I hope this is only temporary. I really don't want Gin to go back to living in an apartment alone."I hurried to go to the bathroom. I was really careless and didn't pay attention; it turned out that Gin had put a towel on the doorknob."It's really embarrassing," I muttered softly.I just barged in and didn't realize that Gin was in the bathroom. He was even ready to undress.I even scolded and blamed Gin. Because the bathroom door was broken and couldn't be locked, we agreed to put a towel on the outside door handle as a sign that the bathroom was being used."What exactly have the Werner brothers done to you that you have trouble focusing whenever you're around me, Casey?""What do you mean by your question, Gin? They did nothing to me!""Never mind, forget
CASEYEarly in the morning, I came out of the room carrying my backpack. I just finished packing. Today, Malik will pick Gin and me up to return to Pack Werner."Last night, Gin left me harshly, but that was the best answer I could give him–the reason why I chose to stay and return with the Werner family. Hopefully, he will understand and come back with us there."Gin is still busy in his room. I walked towards the window. Outside, thick fog still enveloped the apartment building.I couldn't even see the usually busy street below the apartment. I vaguely seemed to see Gin's figure walking on the sidewalk."He left the apartment?"I ran to Gin's room and checked. The room wa
CASEYBang! Bang!Suddenly, I looked inside the old abandoned building."Gin?" I suddenly panicked.I ran into the building. At the bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor, I saw a man sitting with bare feet, his head bowed listlessly. He wasn't even wearing anything other than a coat with the buttons open. It's winter! The man's hair was shoulder-length and covered part of his face.When I saw him, suddenly, I felt goosebumps all over my body. I know he's not human, but he's not a werewolf, either.The man raised his head slightly and looked at me with a mischievous grin. His face is so handsome, like a model's in a fashion magazine. But, suddenly, I saw a pair of black horns sticking out of his long hair."Devil?" I gritted my teeth."Oh, the hunter's friend is coming?" the devil teased. He started to stand up, although his back was still bent as if he was ready to attack me."One of the demons from the grunger monster pack?" I whispered softly as I put my hand in my coat p
GINBang!A shot penetrated the right shoulder of the female demon who was trying to prey on Casey. She bounced all the way to the back wall."Never touch my girl with your dirty hands, she-devil!" I hissed angrily."Gin?" Casey called.She looked at me in despair. Casey tried to get up while wiping the tears that were almost dripping from the edge of his coat sleeve.I continued walking past Casey. I approached the demon, who was curled up at the end of the hall while enduring the pain. The bullets I used were specially made to kill shadow creatures. Made from a mixture of silver and titanium.This bullet can injure or even kill shadow creatures if used correctly; it must hit their heart or head.I've practised my shots thousands of times so that they hit the target. Unfortunately, the devil's head was initially too close to Casey. I could have shot her in the head, but it was too risky because it would probably hurt Casey."Fucking hunter!" The demon groaned. "What have you done to
CASEYWinter holidays mean I don't have much to do at home. On the last demon hunt, we didn't get any information. The two demons had already been destroyed by attacks from Gin and the Werner brothers.I put on my best clothes today and asked Mama for permission to go to the supermarket.I walked alone along the sidewalk from the nearest bus stop to the supermarket. When I arrived at a clothing shop near the supermarket, I looked at the rows of dresses displayed in the window.It wasn't the dresses that interested me, but I was pretending to pay attention to the clothes. Actually, my eyes stared with great interest at a shadowy figure reflected in the shop window.Behind the telephone box across the street, I saw Gin quietly standing there while continuing to watch me."You stalker!" I grumbled.Even though this morning, before I left, I was sure I still saw Gin curled up in his room. Meanwhile, Eren chose to play games in Raff's room. I don't know where Malik is. I'm really bored alo
