4| You are Mine!

CASEY

“Oh, no, I overslept! How long have I been asleep? What's the time now?"

I stuttered and got out of bed in a hurry. My feet are tangled in the blanket. I fell with my body first touching the floor.

"Ow!"

I rubbed my elbow, which was in extreme pain.

I don't remember how long I slept, but the room was still dark. I should have slept at most two hours since I got here. Because by the time we got to the Werners' house, it was past dinner time.

My body feels very sticky. I want to take a bath.

Slowly I opened the bedroom door. I don't want to cause a scene. I turned to the corridor right and left. My room fits in the middle. Malik is in the room on the right, while Eren is on the left. I have to keep my attitude so as not to disturb others.

Unfortunately, in my room, there is no bathroom. I have to use the bathroom outside. But I need to find out where it is. On the first floor?

I descended the stairs, too, with extreme caution. The house is so quiet.

Of course, it's midnight, Casey! How stupid am I? People were still asleep in their respective rooms.

The Werner family's house is quite large. I need to figure out where to start my search. I only remember a family, kitchen, and dining room on the first floor. The rest are several rooms with closed doors. One of them is the bathroom.

But I need to check them more easily. However, I am a new resident here. How presumptuous is it if I go in and out without permission?

At times like this, I really regret it. I should have asked for a room tour before actually falling asleep in my room.

I passed through the kitchen and guessed the right direction for the bathroom. But instead, I went back to the front and passed the living room. The corner of my eye caught something.

Someone lying on the sofa bed. I can't see his face. Only the tips of his feet were visible from behind the couch.

"What is Malik? At least he can tell me where the bathroom is."

I approached him.

"Apparently not Malik. Who is this man? Why is he sleeping on the couch?"

He's a handsome man. He was two or three years older than me. He is also a student like me.

"Excuse me…."

I felt embarrassed if I had to wake him up, but I had no other choice. I can't stand to pee anymore.

"Sorry… do you hear me?"

The man was still sleeping and unmoving. He probably didn't hear me. I have to wake him up harder.

I dared to touch his hands folded on his stomach. I jumped in surprise because the back of his hand was so hot. I started to worry about him too.

"Hey, do you have a fever?"

I immediately knelt beside the sofa and examined his forehead. He actually had a body temperature higher than the average human body temperature.

"Are you sick? You have a fever. You shouldn't be sleeping on the couch. Where's the medicine? I'll get it for you."

I rushed to my feet to find a place for medicine. But he woke up and grabbed my hand.

"You awake?"

He's pulling me too hard. I'm off balance. My body faltered, and I was about to fall over him. Meanwhile, he was still lying on the couch.

It's dangerous if I fall on him. He'd probably be in even more pain. I supported my body with all my might and held on to the couch.

"Noisy!" The young man opened his eyes and looked at me angrily. "This isn't your house, so shut up!"

"Y-you're awake? Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine. Why do you think I am?"

"Because your body temperature is very high. Your body is so hot. I thought you had a fever. Is it not?"

I knelt in front of the sofa. The man was already sitting straight, looking at me coldly and arrogantly. I've never met him. Is he one of David's children?

"Then… I will excuse myself." I stood up and continued my search. I can't stand going to the toilet anymore.

He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and pulled me down onto his lap.

"Hey, what's this? Let me go!" I screamed in shock.

Instead of letting me go, he pushed my shoulders until my back fell into the sofa.

"Why?" I panicked, trying to sit up straight.

Suddenly he grinned at me. "Why, you say? Don't you already know that? You will be mine."

He pushed me back. I couldn't move at all. He also held my hands and locked them beside my head. I struggled but in vain.

He is now even pressing my body. I could only scream for him to let me go. Instead, he landed his lips on my neck roughly.

"What are you doing?"

I thought he would abuse me. Turns out he was sniffing my body. God, this is so disgusting! What the hell is he?

"Get off me, you bastard! What are you doing?" I kept kicking him but in vain.

He even opened his mouth wide. I saw a pair of canine teeth look longer than before.

"Damn, wolf! You want to eat me? I won't let it."

He was about to sink his fangs into my exposed shoulders.

"Raff! What are you doing?" scolded someone.

He stopped doing the action. I immediately turned to the person who suddenly came. I am helped because of his presence.

"Malik?"

I don't know why suddenly my tears welled up. I don't want to cry and look embarrassed in front of Malik. But, this bastard's tears spilled out on their own. I am so ashamed. Malik saw me in this state. He could misunderstand.

"You are so embarrassing, Raff. Why are you doing something indecent in the front room? Even near the entrance. This is a place to welcome guests."

I felt Raff's grip on my hands begins to loosen. Still, while pressing my body, Raff grinned at Malik. Finally, Raff released me and stepped aside.

"Wow, you came while I was having fun. It's getting boring. Why do you keep bothering me, Malik? Don't you have any other activities?"

I also ran off the couch when I had the chance. I stood behind Malik with a trembling body. I want to explain the actual incident. However, no sound came out of my throat.

"What are you doing here?" Malik hissed.

"Nothing," Raff answered nonchalantly. He was still sitting on the couch with one leg up.

"He attacked me!" I shouted haltingly. I have to defend myself. I no longer want to be blamed and continue to be made a suspect.

"Who attacked you?" replied Raff, who looked unhappy with the answer I gave. "You were the first to disturb my sleep."

"Stop it, you two!" shouted Malik.

I also looked down in fear.

Malik just glanced at me sharply. "What are you doing here? Did you finally wake up from hibernation too?"

"I only slept for two hours. Sorry if I haven't had time to clean up my stuff. I will do it soon."

"Two hours?" Malik's tone rose slightly. "You want to joke at a time like this? You've been asleep for a full 24 hours, Cass. Even our parents left for their honeymoon celebration. You didn't respond even though you woke up many times."

"What? Honeymoon?" My body went limp instantly. "When did they leave? What about the wedding?"

Malik turned to face me. He slipped his hands into his trouser pockets and stared at me coldly.

"Brigitta left a message for you. You should have read the letter. They will be back in a week if all goes well."

"Impossible!" I am unfortunate because I missed a significant event for my mother. "How could I miss their wedding?"

I'm really very sorry. How can I sleep for 24 hours straight and not even wake up at all?

"Oh, take it easy. Because you fell asleep like Snow White, they delayed the wedding until they returned from their honeymoon." Malik said sarcastically.

"I actually…. Can you show me where the bathroom is? I can't take it anymore and want to pee right now."

Malik looked exasperated. While Raff giggled.

"Come with me!" Malik said coolly and walked over first.

I followed him. Before leaving the living room, I glanced at Raff. He glanced at me and said something silently. But I can understand the movement of his lips.

'You are mine now!'

I quickly ran away from Raff while rubbing the back of my neck, which felt goosebumps.
