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
ERENI arrived on time and stood behind Raff, who was trying to swallow Casey. I put my left arm around Raff's shoulder, causing Raff's body to freeze."What are you trying to do, Raff?" I whispered threateningly. "You going to party without us?"After making sure Raff stopped, whatever his intentions were, I sat on the edge of the table with my legs crossed and without a shirt. I only wore trousers. My shoulder muscles tensed, and my hands clenched together.I noticed Raff starting to untangle the black smoke from Casey's body and walk away with a look full of regret.Casey falls unconscious. I immediately grabbed her waist and hugged her."Should we continue this party?" I quipped while glancing at Raff, who was still silent."Eren, please take Casey back to her room," Raff spoke softly and didn't dare look me in the eyes.I carried Casey's weak and unconscious body."Lately, you've been out of control a lot, Raff."I left Dad's study and left Raff alone there. A few minutes ago, I
GIN"Have you received Brigitta's message?" I stood near the living room window and was alone with Casey.Casey nodded. "Yes, the message was put in the gift box that Mama gave me last night. A dress for a ball."After opening my own gift box, I was shocked to see the contents. A very luxurious and expensive suit and a letter from Davies.Before Brigitta left this morning, I asked for time to talk to her alone without Casey knowing. We met at the cafe where Ensio and I had previously met."Are you angry because I gave Casey an assignment?" asked Brigitta. "Casey grew up in the Bright family. Sooner or later, that day will come. The day she too must become a hunter.""You mean… That's Casey's responsibility? Dance party?" I protested Brigitta's decision and hoped she would change her decision."I made this decision for Casey's life. Sooner or later, she must be able to look after and protect herself. This party was just… A practice. Let's say so. I'm just asking for your help to secure
CASEYThe man took off his strange mask and showed his face before us."Isaac Knox?"Of course, I was shocked when I recognized the face behind the mask.Gin even shook his head and focused his attention. The figure standing before us was indeed Isaac Knox. Not a nobleman who came from the Middle Ages."How come you are here?" I'm so alert. "And why are you wearing a mask and strange clothes?""Oh, this?" Isaac looked down at his clothes. "I just returned from a costume party held by one of the nobles. I didn't have time to change clothes when my parents asked me to come here and greet you on their behalf."I wanted to ask lots of questions, but Gin suddenly stopped me."Sorry if I surprised you," Isaac continued. "I just moved into the house next door. Just so you know, my parents are also part of the Werner Pack. So, I thought I should come and greet you.""What nonsense are you spouting?" Gin hissed in disbelief.I also couldn't believe what I heard.Isaac just shrugged his shoulde
GINEren and I met on one of the empty classroom balconies. Under the balcony, there were several Terrasen Academy students waiting with posters in their hands. I even saw one of the students carrying a large photo of Eren."Wow, they are very aggressive, aren't they? This academy is even more terrifying than having to fight demons." As he looked under the balcony, Eren slipped his hands into his trouser pockets.I just leaned lazily against the wall. Both of my hands were also tucked into my trouser pockets. One of my knees was slightly bent."Tell me, Eren. You're not looking for me without purpose, right?""Well, I was found out!" Eren grinned.I almost didn't hear Eren's words. My mind was still full of Isaac Knox, whom I had been very suspicious of since I first met him."Does Isaac have a relationship with that man?" I asked Eren matter-of-factly.Eren's eyes sharpened. He glanced at me despite trying to show an indifferent attitude. "Who do you mean by that man? As far as I kno
ENSIOI sat right in front of Brigitta. "It seems that guy is still alive!"Brigitta gasped in surprise and looked at me with a look of disbelief."Impossible!" she muttered in a trembling voice."My dear sister, it seems that you are getting weaker. Is the marriage you have done worth all this?""I've killed him, Ensio!" shouted Brigitta. The veins in her neck tightened. She clenched her fist and hit the table.She succeeded in surprising several cafe visitors and turned their attention to us. Brigitta realized her mistake and glanced awkwardly in a random direction."Why do you always tell Gin that that man is still out there, Bri?"
CASEY"Today..." I felt my chest which was pounding violently. So I can't study. I'm also anxious to see Gin's attitude and home atmosphere, which, recently, feels felt."No, it's not just today that Gin looks so restless. He also became more sensitive and possessive towards me.”I tried to remember every moment that had passed in recent times. A memory suddenly struck me, and I immediately got up from the chair.“Well, ever since Isaac walked into our yard!”I put away the textbook I was holding and ran after Gin.In the yard, I didn't see Gin anywhere."Where is he going?"I ran outside the fence.“What bothered Gin about Isaac Knox exactly? Why does he hate Isaac so much? In fact, they don't even know each other, and their first meeting at the academy."I was lucky to still be able to see Gin leave. Just before he disappeared at the fork in the road.Oh, it's so cold. I'm not wearing a coat. I left the house wearing only a black sweater and a short green checkered thigh-high skirt.
CASEYI ran very fast, even jumping two stairs at once to quickly arrive at the source of the eruption.What exactly is this place? Whose house? Why is Gin here? Was he hunting demons?With a gasp, I finally reached the third floor and stood in front of one of the rooms.There is a room that looks very striking with a white door. The door was slightly ajar. I heard someone talking over there – the voice of an adult man.Who's that? Is Gin with someone? I approached and tried to listen to their conversation.“Even though I wear this body, you can still recognize me. You're great, Gin. You're a true hunter. Do you want revenge on me because I killed your parents? Ha ha ha…"My hand had reached out to push the door wider, but suddenly, my body froze. I can't go forward anymore. The facts I just heard made me unable to think clearly.I don't know who the figure is in there. I don't know who Gin is with. Was it really Isaac Knox or someone else?“Well, I'll never forget!”That's Gin's voic
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
