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
CASEY"As punishment, I will have you do something in my closed music studio!" He grinned triumphantly.Malik's whispers in my ear kept ringing. I stepped back and away from him. Immediately, my body shivered. I was scared, and reflexively, my hand reached into my coat pocket, looking for a weapon.Is lost! I screamed in my heart. My knife is gone. What should I do? Gin is not here. I don't even know what Malik is planning right now."You looking for this?" Malik waved my penknife in his hand."Malik! How did you–"Aaaa! Fuck. He took my knife from my pocket when I was off guard."Give it back to me!" I shouted.
CASEYEren suddenly entered and looked into the music studio."Oh my, Eren. You're just being annoying!" complained Malik.Eren looked surprised and asked us for an explanation when he saw us sitting together on the sofa bed."What are you doing here?" Eren shouted with a look of panic and suspicion on his face.Eren suddenly growled. He dropped the book he was holding and walked quickly towards Malik with a face full of anger.Eren pulled Malik to his feet and away from me. "Malik, what did you do to her?"I just watched the two of them making a fuss. Malik responded to Eren's rude treatment with a mischievous smile. I know he deliberately wanted to slander."What do you think the two of us are doing here? If I told you, you would want to too. That's right, Casey?"Malik's words really provoked Eren, and he got even angrier. Hah! I could see Eren clenching his fists tightly, and his face was red to the ears.I can't let Malik keep making a fuss. I stood up and tried to calm Eren."Er
CASEYI glared at Gin and ignored him. It seemed he wasn't happy with my plan to bring Raff dinner.I stood in front of Dad's study. According to the twins, Raff is inside. The workspace is close to the library. The hallway in the library area is very quiet and quite dimly lit. Everyone tried to maintain calm in the area.Crack!Suddenly, the door to Dad's office opened just before I even touched it. Immediately, I got goosebumps."This is a little scary," I muttered."Casey, is that you?" Raff's voice came from inside."Oh, yeah, it's me. Are you inside? I came to bring you dinner."Even so, I still didn't dare to step foot into Dad's study. I was still frozen in front of the partially open door, carrying a tray of dinner."Come in!" asked Raff. I heard Raff's voice so small, as if he was far away.After exhaling to get rid of my nervousness, I walked slowly into Dad's study. The floor of the study was covered with a very thick fur carpet. The aroma of citrus and menthol wafts as soo
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
