CASEY

“Annoying… Annoying… Annoying…!”

I kept grumbling while scrubbing my whole body using the bath sponge.

I'm taking a bath. At first, I just wanted to pee, but seeing the comfortable bathroom and the large enough tub, I was tempted to shower.

I'm tired of scrubbing. I was silent for a while. I was pensive while watching the water spilled from the tub.

“What did he say? I seduced Raff? Seriously."

Malik's words kept ringing in my mind.

"Don't get me wrong, Casey. He is the eldest son. His name is Raff. He's a little scary. We even call him a monster in this house. But Raff won't do anything dangerous if you don't tease him first.”

I tried to shake off Malik's harsh words but failed. Malik did show me where the bathroom was. But he also added harsh words that hurt me afterward.

“He called me a flirt girl? Then what about himself, who easily kissed girls and toyed with them with his good looks? Malik is a real asshole.”

I punched the water's surface in the tub until it spurted out.

“But in front of me, he acts cool and always shows a cold face. It was like he was a straight man who had never sinned.”

I squeezed the bath sponge so hard that white foam spilled over my palms.

“Malik… He was always cold to me. How to get rid of that cold face from him? It really bothers me! He can smile cutely at other girls. As for me, he's like an ironing board without empathy. You are cruel!”

Suddenly an idea popped into my mind. I exited the bath, cleaned myself, and wrapped the towel around my body.

MALIK

“How can I possibly sleep when she's right beside my room? Looks like I have to move to another room. But, if I move, then Eren….”

I got up from the sofa.

“I actually don't really care about Raff. He has his own taste. But, Eren… No! That can't be happening. Eren really likes teasing girls. Eren doesn't care if she's a stepsister; if he likes her, Eren will always tease her. Uh, this is annoying!”

Since Casey arrived in this house, I've been afraid to sleep in my room. The slightest sound from Casey's room made my heart beat fast. Why do our rooms have to be next to each other?

I sat down and put the book I was reading on the table.

“Right now, I have absolutely no interest in reading. What's the time now? Raff had also gone to his room. The people are asleep. I'm the only one still awake."

I drank mineral water from a bottle I had brought from the kitchen.

"I am done!"

The bottle is still attached to my lip. I glanced to my right. Casey stood there half-wet. She is almost naked.

“Ouch…!” I'm choking. "What are you doing?"

I put down the water bottle and wiped the spilled water from my mouth. I was very angry.

“Casey, what are you doing? Can't you get dressed first?"

Casey remained standing while showing off her beautiful body. She only wore a thin towel to cover most of her body.

"Why? This is also my home. I'm used to wearing a towel after showering and roaming around the house. Why can't I do it here too?”

I'm really nervous. Did she notice my face heating up? I quickly turned my gaze away from Casey.

“But I'm still here. You shouldn't look like that in front of me!” I protested nervously.

"So what if you were here? Aren't we already brothers now?"

She challenged me? Good grief!

I took a quick glance. Casey was sitting on the sofa right beside me. I can even smell the sweet scent of her shampoo.

“Could it be… you mischievous youth who sees stepsisters as….”

What the hell is she? I really can't do anything right now. I was too nervous to even speak and look her in the eye. Of course, I couldn't see her in that kind of appearance.

My cheeks feel hot. I took back the remaining water in the bottle I had placed. Why does it feel like my whole body is so hot? Though the weather is quite cold today.

God, Casey even moved her legs. Those slender legs really weren't covered by anything. The towel wrapped around her body was even too thin and too short. Most of Casey's thighs were clearly visible.

What is the real purpose of Casey showing off her body like that in front of me? She's not like the girl I used to know.

CASEY

I smiled contentedly. I almost burst out laughing when I saw Malik's behavior. However, I held back as best I could and displayed a calm demeanor in front of him.

I'm sure Malik is getting affected. Even though his body wasn't facing mine, I could feel his eyes fixed on me. Turns out he was a cheap young man. He even easily flirts with and kisses girls he meets. Really sucks. Why should I fall in love with a man like Malik?

But no problem. Now we are stepbrothers. I will bury this feeling deep inside and repay all the bad attitudes towards me so far. I will make Malik suffer with my presence.

I move my legs until my thighs are a little more exposed. I crossed my arms over my chest. I sat up straight and shook my still-wet hair. Even though it's cold, I must endure to tear down his cold face. I have to reply.

I shifted my seat closer to Malik. And I made a fatal mistake. The towel coils on my body untied. I quickly hold it with both hands on my chest.

WHAT DO I DO?

That's when it hit me. What am I actually doing here? Why did I do such a stupid thing? Do I look like I'm teasing Malik right now? This isn't what I want.

I panicked too. How do I end this ridiculous game?

I stared at the towel on my body and pulled the edge of the towel further down to cover my thighs. However, this towel is getting looser and almost sagging from my body.

How about this? Did he see me?

I'm getting panicked.

I didn't intend to do anything ridiculous to this extent. At first, I just wanted to see Malik tear down his cold face. But now I look like a cheap seductress.

Tap.

Malik put his drink bottle on the table a little harder. I gasped in surprise. He stood up from the sofa.

What will he do now? I'm really scared. I had no intention of teasing him. Really!

Now, Malik stood in front of me really with a cold face. While I can't move. If I get up, this towel will come off, and I'm naked before him. I don't want to get that far.

Malik approached.

“W-wait!” I muttered in panic. "Don't…."

    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
