ERENIt felt like my whole body was going weak. Slowly, I could feel how Raff was absorbing my energy until I almost fell to the floor.When I realized, Raff had moved from the sofa and was hugging me. He supported my body so I didn't fall to the floor. He also asked me to breathe as much as possible to get rid of the tightness – the effect of the energy absorption that had just occurred."I'm sorry, Eren. I lost control, and I almost hurt you.""I don't care even if other people always think of me as the family guard dog. If that's what we can do for this pack and also for your purposes, why not? You were always kind and protected us.""You don't need to worry. I'm fine. Act as usual so Malik doesn't get suspicious of us."I was shocked and touched when Raff suddenly rubbed the top of my head gently. In front of everyone, we always show quarrels and debates as fellow brothers. Actually, in my heart, I really love and respect him. I didn't even think that Raff, who was always cold and

CASEY Early in the morning, I came out of the room carrying my backpack. I just finished packing. Today, Malik will pick Gin and me up to return to Pack Werner."Last night, Gin left me harshly, but that was the best answer I could give him–the reason why I chose to stay and return with the Werner family. Hopefully, he will understand and come back with us there."Gin is still busy in his room. I walked towards the window. Outside, thick fog still enveloped the apartment building.I couldn't even see the usually busy street below the apartment. I vaguely seemed to see Gin's figure walking on the sidewalk."He left the apartment?"I ran to Gin's room and checked. The room wa

GINBang!A shot penetrated the right shoulder of the female demon who was trying to prey on Casey. She bounced all the way to the back wall."Never touch my girl with your dirty hands, she-devil!" I hissed angrily."Gin?" Casey called.She looked at me in despair. Casey tried to get up while wiping the tears that were almost dripping from the edge of his coat sleeve.I continued walking past Casey. I approached the demon, who was curled up at the end of the hall while enduring the pain. The bullets I used were specially made to kill shadow creatures. Made from a mixture of silver and titanium.This bullet can injure or even kill shadow creatures if used correctly; it must hit their heart or head.I've practised my shots thousands of times so that they hit the target. Unfortunately, the devil's head was initially too close to Casey. I could have shot her in the head, but it was too risky because it would probably hurt Casey."Fucking hunter!" The demon groaned. "What have you done to

CASEY "As punishment, I will have you do something in my closed music studio!" He grinned triumphantly.Malik's whispers in my ear kept ringing. I stepped back and away from him. Immediately, my body shivered. I was scared, and reflexively, my hand reached into my coat pocket, looking for a weapon.Is lost! I screamed in my heart. My knife is gone. What should I do? Gin is not here. I don't even know what Malik is planning right now."You looking for this?" Malik waved my penknife in his hand."Malik! How did you–"Aaaa! Fuck. He took my knife from my pocket when I was off guard."Give it back to me!" I shouted.

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
