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
CASEYMonday mornings are busy days at Pack Werner, especially at the Werner family mansion. Everyone returned to their respective activities after the complete moon festival celebration. I'm even very sorry for not being able to attend and join the festivities.I just left the room and went to the dining table for breakfast. I see that the kitchen is bustling. Some workers have just been brought in."Your breakfast, Miss."Lusina came and placed a waffle with chocolate sauce, strawberries, and fresh orange juice in front of me. I was alone at the big dining table. Werner's three Alphas have last been seen somewhere since morning."Lusina, why are there so many workers today? Will there be another celebration? Are there other festivals besides the full moon festival?"Lusina stood beside me, slightly back. She always waits for me during breakfast. Lusina took a step forward and bowed slightly towards me."No festival whatsoever, miss.""But why are you guys so busy? I even saw several
CASEYI saw the man beat Isaac and his friend unconscious. I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak. I was too scared to even scream for help. The attack reminded me of the escapes I had been doing with my mother all this time.It wasn't long before two more people appeared. They got out of a black van that I didn't realize had been parked there in the first place. They were a man and a woman wearing all black.The three men carried Isaac and his friend, who had fainted, by taking them on their shoulders. As if their bodies are so light. The two men brought them as if carefree.I could only be dumbfounded while tightly covering my mouth to not make a sound. I quickly hid in a public telephone booth that happened to be close to me.I crouched there while keeping my mouth shut tightly. My body shivered violently. At the bottom of the phone booth, there were little cracks I could peek through.I glanced at the blonde-haired woman in a black dress and turned in the direction where I wa
CASEY"Shut up and don't make a noise! Or they will find us, and our efforts in coming here will be in vain.""Raff?"I can only stare in shock. Even Raff covered my mouth with his hand. He hugged me from behind. Raff wasn't hugging me but holding my body, so we remained hidden in the dark area under the stairs.I'm so scared. I think they found me and arrested me.Raff's cell phone vibrated."Bastard, who contacted me at a time like this?"Raff quickly crushed his cell phone. Good grief!I saw the toe of one of the men who had taken Isaac on the steps directly above our heads."Was there an intruder?" shouted one of the kidnappers.The man checking the stairs bowed slightly. Raff hugged me tighter to back off and squeeze into the dark area."There isn't any! I didn't see anyone and didn't smell anyone's presence there. I think it was just the sound of rats accidentally rolling the pipe.""Are you sure?" asked his partner, who sounded doubtful."You doubt my sense of smell?" replied t
CASEYThe monster looked at me as if he had been waiting for my arrival for a long time. The blonde woman behind me grabbed both of my hands very tightly and was about to tie them up.I struggled and fought back, but she slapped me very hard. My head hurts, and my vision is blurry.What exactly is going on here? Who are these people? Why does my life, which was starting to be calm and peaceful, have to become complicated and always involved in problems? Is this the end of my life? I'm going to die under that monster's claws?Brum! Brum!I close my eyes and bow my head. Two motorbikes appeared from the stairs as the blonde woman dragged me away. One motorbike hit the monster trying to attack Isaac, and another hit the woman trying to pull me.The rope she had not yet tied slipped from my wrist."Werner brothers?" the blonde woman hissed.I focused my blurry vision to see the situation that was happening. The motorbike that attacked the monster was driven by Malik and Eren. Meanwhile, t
MALIKOn a whole moon night, it shines brightly and is perfectly round. We are standing in front of the old abandoned building where Casey was attacked by the Grunger monster yesterday. The kidnappers managed to escape. We decided to put hunters and warriors on guard there."Alpha!" greeted the two warriors guarding the entrance, slightly bowing towards us."Are there any results from the trail search?""Our hunters are trying their best."Eren glanced briefly at the bright moon. He opened his mouth and hid his fangs that were sticking out."Is it just my feelings?" muttered Eren. "It seems like someone is watching us from somewhere.""They're courageous if that's true," I said.We went further through long, dark alleys. When I first came down there following Casey, I ignored the details.Upon noticing our arrival, the hunters and warriors checking for traces in the abandoned old building immediately stopped their activities. They all formed a long line in unison and were ready to rep
MALIK"Are you stupid, Malik? What do you mean… I… Not attractive as a girl? Fucker. Who barged into my room without permission and is now going around judging me without anyone asking?"I don't know what Casey is bragging about. It felt like my head was really emitting hot steam. She hit me again with the pillow.I stood still and didn't even look at her. I just stared at the door that wasn't fully closed yet.At that moment, I realized Casey's body was reflected in the mirror frame near the door. God, she really was wearing clothes.I was stunned to see it. Then, I quickly closed my eyes.What do I do? Why do I enjoy it and am so curious to see it? This can't be! At this rate, I might lose my mind."Why are you muttering to yourself?" Casey grunted. "Malik, are you imagining bad things about me?" Now she's screaming right next to my ear."That's enough, Casey! Don't keep teasing me. If you're finished dressing, I'll leave the porridge here. And make sure you eat it all the way throu
CASEY"Want to run away?"Someone grabbed my body from behind, spun me around, and hugged me possessively. I felt tight and scared. I punched him in the stomach, but he was more intelligent than I thought.He held my body in his arms and smiled at me."Eren?"How could I not notice his presence?"Are you going to run away? You quietly slipped away and left the house. Not giving up after the recent incident? You want to be a bad girl, Casey?""I… let me go!""Don't want to! Since you sneaked in secretly, then I will give you a punishment. Tonight, you can't go back home. I will kidnap you!""What?"I haven't had time to finish my question; Eren has become a giant wolf. He forcefully lifted me onto his back and then took me running away from Pack Werner's area.I screamed in fear. Eren was going very fast."Hold on if you don't want to be thrown off!"I really hugged Eren's neck very tightly while closing my eyes. He didn't give me a choice. I buried my face in the hair around his thick
