Chapter: Chapter 194: Finale 2We visited my grandmother's grave and found the place unkempt. As Rafe had mentioned, her grave had remained intact, contradicting my belief that it had been torn down due to the surrounding new construction."Luna, come on," Rafe urged, leading me to the cemetery.I grabbed some tools and started clearing the overgrown grass."Why hasn't this cemetery been torn down?" I asked, aware of the ruthless business tactics often employed these days, where even homes are not spared for the sake of profit."The company that owns the adjacent property is having financial difficulties," Rafe informed me.Then he added, "I plan to buy all that land," leaving me stunned."Thank you," I said, realizing that expressing gratitude had become a habit for me. I truly appreciated all that he had done.After tending to the grave, Rafe and I decided to dine at a nearby restaurant. Its simple charm was refreshing, a reminder of how much I missed such unpretentious places.Having spent the past month indulgi

Chapter: Chapter 193: Finale 1I never thought it would end. The last few months have been really exhausting for me and I'm glad they're finally over."Luna, what are you going to wear?" Rafe asked as he approached me with a group of people behind him. They seemed to be famous fashion designers."What do you think would look good on me?" I replied, bringing out Rafe's playful side."Anything looks good on you, Luna," he flirted, earning nothing more than a playful flick of my tongue in return. Rafe laughed heartily, his demeanor so different from before.He seemed much more alive and approachable now, almost like a new person."Did you hear about Faghri? He's going to run for president," Rafe announced, taking me completely by surprise. Faghri, once notorious for his ruthless ways, had transformed himself into a respectable figure, and now he was eyeing the presidency."Rafe, you're serious, aren't you?" I asked, looking for confirmation in his expression. He nodded solemnly, confirming the surprising news."I'm se

Chapter: Chapter 192: Truth 8That morning, the shocking news reverberated across all media platforms, sending waves of disbelief around the world. Television programs, newspapers, and online outlets all carried the same headline: "Assassination at the President's Office: President Etas fatally shot by trusted aide". The uniformity of the reports, which all followed the same chronology, was striking, with not a single source challenging the narrative of President Etas' untimely demise.In stark contrast to this grim news, a more personal story was unfolding in an old but grand home. Here, Rafe and Aline were seen in a tender embrace, their affection evident in front of Rafe's parents. The atmosphere was one of familial warmth and impending change."Rafe, have you decided who you are going to marry?" inquired Rafe's father, a hint of expectation in his voice. Rafe's answer was a nod, followed by a frank admission, "Legally, I am married to Luna. But in matters of the heart, not yet." His words revealed a complicate

Chapter: Chapter 191: Truth 7The presidential palace was eerily quiet that day, a stark contrast to the tightly secured perimeter outside. Inside, however, the atmosphere in the President's private chamber was anything but calm.Aline's father, the President, was visibly seething with rage. His face was contorted with rage, the veins on his neck were pronounced, and his body tensed as if ready to spring into action. The anger inside him had reached a boiling point."Bastards! I'll kill them all," he roared, the words thick with raw emotion.The tragic death of his daughter Aline had devastated him. Ironically, he had denied her Secret Service protection out of respect for her wishes to engage in something illegal, a decision he now bitterly regretted."I swear, everyone involved will pay," he bellowed, his tone dripping with vehemence.In a fit of desperation, he threw a paper across his desk, his demeanor mirroring that of someone lost in a terrifying episode of unbridled madness.At that moment, there was a ten

Chapter: Chapter 14: Secrets and PotionsAmia's POV:I sat cross-legged in front of the potion-making furnace, carefully measuring out various herbs and ingredients. The warm glow of the fire illuminated my workspace, casting dancing shadows on the walls. I loved this part of the process—the weighing, the sniffing, the licking, and testing the quality of each herb. It was like creating a magical symphony, blending nature's gifts to craft something powerful and transformative."You know, you could hear a pin drop in here, and you still wouldn't flinch."I jumped at the sudden sound of Thorne's voice, his calm and steady tone a stark contrast to my startled reaction. He had a way of moving silently, like a shadow, and it both intrigued and annoyed me."How long have you been standing there?" I asked, a hint of irritation lacing my voice.Thorne stepped into my line of sight, his face expressionless, but his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. "Long enough to witness your mastery at work. It's quite a sight, I must say."I

Chapter: Chapter 13: Shadows of the PastDamien POV:The air crackled with anticipation as I, Damien, the future Alpha of our wolf pack, stood tall and proud before my fellow pack members. The weight of my impending leadership rested heavily on my shoulders, but my gaze was fixed and unwavering. Years had passed since we expelled Amia, a treacherous wolf who dared to defy our ways and embrace the dark arts of magic. Today, I intended to ensure that her name would forever be struck from our memories."Brothers and sisters of the pack," my voice thundered across the gathering, silencing the murmurs. "We gather here today to address a festering wound—a blight that refuses to heal. Amia, the disgraced wolf who turned her back on our pack, still lingers in the shadows, spreading her vile magic like a poison that threatens to corrupt our very existence." I let my eyes sweep across the crowd, meeting the fierce stares of my pack mates, their faces mirroring the burning desire for justice that raged within me."We will not rest, we

Chapter: Chapter 12: A Star in the DarknessAmia POV:The weight of Thorne's promise settled on me as he carried me through the forest, his strong strides eating up the distance. I felt a mix of emotions—gratitude, certainly, but also a sense of unease. Being dependent on someone else for my safety was a foreign concept, and it chafed at my independent nature. Yet, there was an undeniable comfort in the solidness of Thorne's back beneath my hands."We should reach the outskirts of the city soon," Thorne said, his voice breaking the comfortable silence that had stretched between us. "Are you doing alright back there, Amia?"I shifted, sitting up straighter on his back. "I'm fine," I replied, my voice a little hoarse from disuse. "It's just... strange, being carried like this. I'm used to being the one taking care of others."Thorne chuckled, the sound rumbling through his broad shoulders. "Well, consider it a change of pace. You've been tending to everyone else's needs for too long. Let someone else play the hero for a while."I

Chapter: Chapter 11: Rescued by ThorneAmia POV:The night had enveloped the forest in darkness, the moon casting an ethereal glow through the treetops. I, Amia, found myself bound to a sturdy oak tree, my wrists tied tightly with rough ropes that bit into my skin. Ioni and his four companions stood before me, their eyes glittering with malicious intent as they discussed the various ways they planned to violate my body. I argued, my voice shaking but defiant, even as fear clawed at my heart."How do you want to start, sweetheart?" Ioni asked, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he took a menacing step toward me. "Shall we begin with your sweet little ass, or do we go straight for the main course?"I glared at him, my eyes flashing with anger and defiance. "Go to hell, all of you!" I spat, my voice laced with venom. "You won't get what you want. I'll fight you with every fiber of my being!"Ioni laughed, his eyes roaming over my bound form with undisguised desire. "Oh, we're going to have so much fun, you can be sure of th

Chapter: Chapter 10: Amia's DefianceAmia POV:My mind wandered to Thorne, a man I had treated a month ago for a stubborn ailment. He had recovered, and I hadn't heard from him since. I missed his company; his presence had chased away the loneliness that often lingered in the quiet moments spent within these four walls.I chuckled softly to myself, a wry smile playing on my lips. "Amia, always the fool for longing," I muttered, shaking my head at my own folly. After being betrayed by my former love, I had sworn off men, vowing to dedicate my life solely to my craft. Yet here I was, yearning for companionship once more. I pushed aside the maudlin thoughts, determined to focus on the task at hand—preparing my potions and elixirs for the day.As I arranged bottles of various shapes and sizes on the shelves, carefully labeling each one, my keen intuition sent a warning signal. A voice, carried on the gentle breeze, caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end. "Something bad is going to happen," I murmured, my eye

Chapter: Chapter 9: Stirring DesiresDamien POV:The moon cast a soft luminescence through the windows of my chamber as night enveloped the estate in its mysterious embrace. I found myself alone with Lily, the air thick with anticipation. She moved with deliberate sensuality, each step a tantalizing dance as she slowly shed her clothes, revealing her body to me with a sultry gaze. Her eyes sparkled with mischief, and her lips curved in a seductive smile.Lily approached me, her hips swaying gently, her fingers trailing down her supple stomach. With a boldness that ignited a spark within me, she reached between her legs, teasing and inviting. Her breath quickened, and her chest rose and fell with the rhythm of her desire.But something within me felt askew, like a discordant note in an otherwise harmonious melody. I should have been consumed by desire, my body responding to her every move. Yet, I felt strangely detached, my body unresponsive to her blatant advances.Lily noticed my lack of reaction and frowned, confusion

Chapter: Chapter 62: Ethan FinalEthan sat in the corner of his small, dingy cell, hunched over a bowl of flavorless rice porridge. He had been in this Thai prison for what felt like an eternity, and the bland food was starting to take its toll on him. He had vomited several times already, unable to stomach the tasteless mush.Just as he was forcing himself to take another bite, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Ethan's heart raced as the prison warden appeared in front of his cell. The man's stern expression told Ethan all he needed to know. His execution date had been set.Ethan felt the bile rise in his throat as the warden informed him that he had three months left to live. He couldn't believe it. He had always known that he was wrong, that he was an asshole.

Luna had just woken up, her hair tousled and her eyes groggy. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up in bed, taking in Eddie's serious demeanor."What's going on?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep.Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. "We need to prepare before we go to the auction," he said, his tone grave.Luna's eyes widened in understanding. "Right, the auction," she said, throwing off the covers and swinging her legs over the side of the bed.Eddie nodded. "I've made arrangements for us to go to a clothing store. It's one of the best in Paris and they have branches all over Europe. It's also my store," he added with a small smile.Luna raised an eyebrow. "Your store?" she asked, surprised.Eddie nodded.

Chapter: Chapter 60: Paris 1Luna and Eddie sat on a bench near the police station, the cool evening breeze rustling the leaves around them. Eddie's eyes were fixed on the station, his mind racing with thoughts. Luna, on the other hand, was deep in thought, trying to piece together the mystery of why Lyra Thomson was working with the other, evil Lyra.Eddie turned to Luna, "Have you figured out what Lyra's plan is? What do you think she's going to do now?"Luna looked up, her eyes meeting Eddie's. "I think I have an idea. She took my necklace and ring, right? Maybe she's planning on selling them."Eddie's eyes widened in surprise. "That's a smart deduction, Luna.""You are right about that. And not only that, that Lyra has other plans regarding the jewelry she stole.""Yeah, but that's the jewelry we gave her..." Luna said quietly with guilt but Eddie gave a small laugh."Never mind that, it was our last wish to solve your problem"Luna smiled weakly. "We have to save her, Eddie.
