CASEYMy knees felt weak. I opened and banged on the door repeatedly but to no avail. The door remained locked tight. I'm stuck in here like a fool. No one will know I'm here somehow. I don't even have my cell phone with me.I want to know how long I've been cooped up in the music room. Looks like I fell asleep too. When I realized it was already afternoon. I sat up straight, and the sadder, I saw the sky from the window starting to turn yellow."No one will notice if I don't come back."I looked at the door. Wonderful. The door was ajar. How could that be?I quickly stood up and left. My heart is pounding. It felt like I couldn't even walk. The hallway on the third floor was empty and quiet as it had been this afternoon. My body swayed, and I immediately leaned against the wall."Hey, are you okay?"I turned around. He was standing behind me with messy curls. Maybe blown away by the wind. I backed away until my back hit the music room door with a terrified face."You?"He shrugged hi
CASEY"Hey, you're hurt! What happened to you?"I panicked and knelt down to check on the student. He was still slumped on one of the park benches clutching his bleeding and injured shoulder."Who did this to you?"The student just lowered his head and remained silent. When he looked up, I saw a pair of sharp fangs and the long claws of his hands."What the hell?"He turned into a scary wolf. The bristles are black and coarse. There are many bony protrusions along the nape of his neck and back. He growled and tried to pounce on me.I can only scream in fear. My body is stiff and can't be moved. I can't run on an injured leg. I fell to the ground, kneeling while pulling my legs to avoid it as much as possible.Something growled as I crossed my arms to protect my head, and I heard a massive crash. When I opened my eyes, I was fine. I saw that the black wolf was tussling with another wolf.I don't know what happened just now. I felt a lot of pain in my legs and shortness of breath becaus
ERENI didn't know where to begin when Casey kept demanding answers. I saw the girl's face begin to turn pale."Are you all right, Casey?"I'm sure there's something odd about it."Is your sprained leg hurting more? Or is there something else that is causing you pain?""I… I don't know. Suddenly my stomach felt very sick and like being stabbed."I was even more worried to hear her explanation."Did you get hurt at school earlier? Let me check your wound!""I… have no wounds on my body!" She turned me down. "I just feel sick to my stomach."She held her stomach and staggered away from me with a limp on one leg. Her ankles seem to be swelling again as well. The girl had difficulty walking. Now coupled with a stomach that also hurts. How could I just watch here without doing anything?"Casey?"She ignored me and continued walking with great difficulty while enduring the pain."She said okay? Good grief! Even walking, she almost fell."I quickly caught up and supported Casey from behind ju
RAFFI walked out of Casey's room with a red face with embarrassment. I've been trying to avoid Eren's question. When I realized, now even Malik was suddenly standing before me. The look on his face was also agitated and full of curiosity."Didn't I give you the task of contacting Doctor Edward?""Tell me, what are you hiding from us, Raff?"I looked back, and Eren was already standing there too. Now I'm surrounded by my two younger twins. They didn't move from there and demanded my explanation about Casey's condition."Oh, come on, guys! Casey is fine. She must have been shocked and exhausted after the shocking attack at school. I've checked, and there is no wound on her body. She just has a fever."I knew they wouldn't believe my explanation, but I did my best to convince them."Tch, no, I thought she was fragile," Malik muttered as he walked away.Eren, more sensitive to Casey's situation, wanted to be more satisfied with my answer. I started to get annoyed."She is fine. If there
CASEY I wake up, and my clothes are wet with sweat. My stomach still hurts unbelievably. I didn't realize that now is my menstrual period. I don't even have any preparation. I uncovered the blanket that wrapped my body and felt pain in my stomach up to my spine. I glanced at the small table next to the bed. A bowl of warm porridge, milk, and a small notepad was there. I take the notepad and read it. "Oatmeal porridge can relieve stomach pain. Eat it while it's warm. Eren." My eyes suddenly became dewy. Maybe because I'm sick, I'm a little melancholic. My tears spilled out uncontrollably. I quickly wipe. I shook my head and refuted my own thoughts. "I'm crying not because of pain but I'm touched because, so far, no one has ever paid attention to me like this. Living on the move with a busy working single mother, I had to be independent in every way." I tried to stand up, but the pain in my stomach was getting worse. My ankle is also very sore. There is a sensation like urinat
CASEY I really enjoyed my time in the bathroom. Soaking in warm water really makes me feel comfortable and calm again. Warm water also lowers my body temperature, which is relatively high. There was a slight lump when I touched my head, which was excruciatingly painful. It seems I hit when I fell into the room. After that, I came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel wrapped around my body. I walked carefully so as not to further injure my ankle. In front of the room, my feet caught something. I noticed there was a box of chocolates left at the door. I took the box of chocolates and examined it. No messages have been left there. I looked right and left. No one. I brought it into the room. Slap! Boom! I was shocked and failed to enter the room. I saw Malik appear out of nowhere and fall head over heels. "You are okay?" I tried to get closer with a limp. "Fuck! Is this your doing?" shouted Malik. "What do you mean?" He tried to get up while holding his ass; he may be in p
MALIKThe doorbell kept ringing. I came out of the room and saw that no one in the house would open the door.I'm getting annoyed because these maids are often absent from duty. Even though they get particular tasks in the pack, it still feels very annoying if they double up on the main functions in this house.I rushed downstairs."It seems Eren and Raff haven't come back either. God, where is everyone?"As soon as I opened the door, my eyes immediately froze. A guest I didn't expect appeared in front of my house."Malik? Why are you here?"He was shocked to see me open the door.I narrowed my eyes at him while still holding the half-open door. "What do you mean by that question, Isaac Knox? Of course, I'm here because this is my home. You, what's the need to come here?"I don't like the look of Isaac. Even at school, I always try to avoid him. We used to be good friends. Due to one reason or another, our relationship has become distant until now.I saw Isaac look around. I need to f
MALIKI pulled away from Casey a bit and pretended like everything was fine. "Are you awake, Casey? Isaac Knox came to see you."I saw Casey getting flustered. She was still lying down but slightly on her side and stared at Isaac."How are you, Casey?"Suddenly, Isaac rushed forward and pushed me away. He sucks."I just have a fever," Casey replied limply. "No serious injuries on me. I wasn't even hurt at all. I think I have a fever from exhaustion."I stood in the corner like an ornament they didn't even consider. I just kept watching the conversation between the two of them. Isaac really went overboard in showing his concern for Casey."Isaac… That night you–""Are you hungry, Casey?"Isaac seemed to avoid the conversation. Though I'm also curious."By coincidence, I stopped by the supermarket to shop for some ingredients. I'll make porridge for you. Malik, do you also want to help?"I was surprised because Isaac was suddenly excellent and sweet in front of Casey. Maybe because he j
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
