Chapter 1: Dream
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The dim light was kind of comforting. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, everything had changed.
I found myself at this weird, fancy ball.
It was like something out of an old story, with everyone dressed up and dancing in this rich scent.
"Excuse me, who are you?" I muttered as I looked at a man who stood out. It would not be an exaggeration to say that man possessed a distinct charm. Like a jewel shining through a sea of acorns.
"Looks like you're new around here. How about a dance to break the ice?" he asked suddenly which made me flinch.
I knew it was probably dumb, but I went for it and reached out to him. It felt like a shock when we touched.
"What?" I whispered to myself unconsciously as the man pulled me into the center of the dance party.
He was dancing really well, and somehow got me to join in.
"Hold on, I don't even dance, do I?" I thought to myself because all I knew was that I was just an ordinary woman whose waist was not that flexible.
It's weird, considering I've hurt my back just picking up keys before.
"This has to be a dream, right?" I said, but my lips suddenly locked. I couldn't speak, but I felt a warm touch there.
He, the mysterious man with princely black hair, was kissing me. What about the flavour? The flavour is truly exceptional. This kiss is more delicious than the expensive ice cream that I can only have once a month.
"Wait" I squealed softly, afraid that he might take offense.
"Does it bother you?" he asked with a flat tone and that mysterious winning smile.
"It's just... why would you kiss me out of nowhere?"
"Should there be a reason to share a kiss?"
"Well, we're practically strangers." I said angrily but he smiled mysteriously again. It's a strange smile, I don't know if it's because of his serious stature but I've never seen a man smile like that at me.
Yes, I know that I don't know many men. But this man's smile is strange. It was seductive and drew me into the deepest sexual delusions.
"Want to get more intimate?" he whispered as he brought his mouth to my ear. This makes me feel like I'm getting an intense vibration in my chest.
My mind was saying no, but I just went with it.
"Good, now dance" he said softly.
As he moved, his hand was exploring, and it felt really strange.
"Hey" I squealed as his hand touched my navel.
"Tell me, are you still untouched?"
"Why does that matter?"
"It doesn't. You just seem like you were meant for me."he whispered again. A sentence that I didn't know the meaning of.
"Who are you, exactly?"I asked still with my body feeling tingly as the man's hands were still fingering almost every inch of my body.
"What if I said I'm a werewolf? Would you believe that?" he asked with the same look in his eyes.
"A werewolf? Why not something else, like a dragon or a pegasus?" I asked again.
"Because, quite simply, I am a werewolf." he replied flatly.
I wanted to voice my discomfort, but he silenced me with another kiss, warmer and more intense this time, as if he was drawing the very essence of my being into his embrace.
"Could you at least share your name?"
"My name? Let's just say destiny will reveal it when the time is right." said the mysterious man who then disappeared leaving only the sweet aroma of spices.
"I knew it, this must be a dream" I snorted again.
I often wonder why I'm haunted by such dreams, as if they reflect the dissatisfaction in my life. Here I am, twenty years old, without a significant other. Shouldn't my dreams at least be a sanctuary for me?
"Dreaming about a handsome man who claims to be a werewolf, am I the main character in a female romance fantasy story?"
Just as I was about to ponder further, the enveloping darkness returned, sweeping me into an abyss of emptiness, until finally, my eyes flickered open to reality.
I woke up, in my usual cramped room. But something was different, somehow I still felt the man's scent. This thick scent that seemed to have been imprinted in my memory.

It was still very early in the morning when I woke up, usually this house is not this loud as if something special had happened today.I looked at the wall of my room, remembering this strange dream again. A dream in which I met a man who claimed to be a werewolf.I didn't care if he was a werewolf or not, but I felt something different about him."Luna, darling, are you awake?"I remembered that voice, my mother's voice, the voice I rarely heard when she called me in the morning like that. "Yes, Mom. Is everything okay?" I tried to rise from the bed, opening the door and the woman who was my mother was already standing in front of me.Her face wasn't what it used to be, now it was full of smiles, as if something good had happened today. "Oh, Luna, I've got some wonderfully happy news to share!" "Really? What's the news, Mom?" I asked. Obviously, I couldn't guess what the news was.The only thing I know when I see my mom smiling is that my dad is winning at gambling and making quit

This is what it's like to be sold by your parents. I usually read it from old medieval stories. But now I've experienced it myself.I stood in front of a large gate, the two men who had brought me in earlier rang the bell and several other men appeared to open the gate."Wow, this house is huge! How many people live here?" I thought to myself.Honestly, I feel a little unsure, this big house is really extraordinary. Compared to my house, my house is no different from a dog kennel. "Please come inside, Mr. Rafe is expecting you." said one of the ladies.Wait, Rafe? I think I've heard this name before, no, not just before, I've heard it often."Rafe? With such a grand house, could he be the Rafe I know?" I thought to myself.I'm a fan of TV gossip. Rafe is a name that has been discussed and reported quite a bit.A man who was only twenty-five years old, but already very rich. There was a rumor that he had sold himself to the devil, and I believed it."How does someone so young get this
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 4: Business Trip
The house was huge, and the room Rafe assigned me was also huge.The soft mattress seemed to slowly swallow up my body, completely immersing me in the dream world I was looking forward to.I turned my gaze back to the dark hallway, and with it darkness enveloped me, making me feel like I was sinking into nothingness. But the next second everything returned to normal.I noticed a large green space and beautiful meadows. The blue sky is filled with slow moving clouds."What's happening? I sense something unusual." I looked down at my hands, as if nothing strange had happened."This scent?" I was stunned. I remembered that scent very well, the scent of the man I met in my dream earlier. The man who asked me to dance at the nobles' ball.When I turned around, there he was, the nameless man smiling faintly in the distance."Why do you keep your distance? Are you uncomfortable around me?" I half-joked because I knew how it was impossible that the man who had suddenly kissed me still had a
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 5: Singapore
rafe wasn't kidding when he said we were going to Singapore, and now we're there. Luckily the guy was kidding when he asked me to help him move his stuff."Rafe, you mentioned this was a business trip, right? But I didn't see you in any meetings today?"Honestly, this confuses me. Rafe claimed he was taking me on a business trip, but since we arrived he had been admiring the scenery and checking his phone."Business trips aren't always about meeting people.", Rafe said briefly even though I still wanted to protest, but I was afraid to protest now, he might leave me alone in Singapore and go back to his big house.Rafe and I had been spinning for two hours without any clear idea. Yes, there is no clear statement. "This feels more like a date than a business trip, though." I thought to myself, but I quickly discarded that stupid thought.How could it be? Rafe is not a guy who is romantically interested in me, is he?"So, where are we heading now?" half an hour passed and I forced mysel

Now I sit alone on a bench by the roadside and watch the tourists passing by.Rafe told me he had other things to do and asked me to wait."How much longer do I have to wait here?" I asked and in his typical fashion he looked at me and replied "Not long".I shouldn't have trusted him so much because it's been an hour and he hasn't come back yet.He had just had a deep conversation with me and shown me another side of himself, and now he left me here alone."Hey, alone?" I heard a voice and turned my head. It was a man, blond hair and wearing black sunglasses as if he was on the beach."No" I answered straightforwardly, yes I wasn't lying because I wasn't alone now. I came with Rafe even though Rafe is currently away somewhere."Miss, no need to be so shy" the man grabbed my hand and I quickly pulled it away. Damn, how dare he touch me.Since fines are high, Singaporeans should be afraid of committing crimes. However, the damn man spat softly in disgust in front of me.I know he is a t
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 7: Promise
Many people may be sceptical of what I see. Rafe appears to pick up the phone and dial a number.The call lasted only a few seconds before the man's cell phone rang in front of Rafe."Hello, Dad. I... I'm sorry, Dad. Really sorry." the blond man said in surprise. His father didn't usually call like that."Sorry, Dad. Well, I'm sorry" the man said quietly and looked hesitantly at Rafe who was still staring with that cold gaze."Mr. Rafe, I deeply regret my earlier behavior." said the man with a scared look on his face but still holding fear. "Apology accepted. Now slap yourself three times and leave."To my surprise, the blond man did as Rafe said and slapped himself.Not once, but three times, until I saw blood oozing from the man's nose."Understood, Mr. Rafe. I'll be on my way then." said the man who seemed to be hurrying away from our location. "Thank you for handling that." I said to Rafe, who had solved the problem. "It's nothing to worry about."said Rafe.Rafe was carrying a
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 8: First Secret (POV 3)
The mansion is full of secrets, particularly in a large room where Rafe is alone.The billionaire who married Luna, this man who refused to touch his wife because it was just a contract marriage, seemed to be hiding something big."I refuse to be enslaved by you." Rafe said with sharp eyes. There was no one there, and strangely the man seemed to be talking to someone else.At this time, a big secret was revealed: Rafe's mouth seemed to move involuntarily, and then his eyes darkened, followed by a contemptuous voice."Rafe, you are destined to be my successor. Why resist what's inevitable?""The whole 'mate' concept? It's nonsense. Love shouldn't be shackled by some mystical fate.""But you forget, Rafe, you're not mere human. You're my kin, a werewolf through and through."Anyone who witnesses this scene will undoubtedly believe that this young billionaire is insane. He speaks to himself and exchanges words. However, if we listen closely, we will notice that one of the sounds coming o

This afternoon, I was admiring Rafe's garden because the sun wasn't shining too brightly, making it a perfect afternoon to explore Rafe's vast yard.It was going to be a lovely day, but I seemed to have misunderstood everything."Who is that lady over there?"When I saw the figure near the gate, a woman who was treated with respect by the gatekeepers as if they had known her for a long time, I was intrigued.The woman's eyes locked on mine, and this is where the problem began. We stared for a long time until I noticed a strange smile form on her lips.This is just my delusion, right? Just my hallucinations, right?But it appears that I was mistaken, because that woman is now approaching me. Yes, her intention was clearly to greet me."Hi," she said as she extended her hand. She was a lovely lady with long, wavy hair. She also had a lovely smile on her face and flawless makeup, as I'm sure everyone would agree."Hi"I said as I extended my hand to shake hers, and the woman seemed surpri

We 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

I 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
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 192: Truth 8
That 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

The 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

On the other side of the picturesque park where love once blossomed, next to a quiet street, Faghri sat alone, lost in thought."It seems I took too long to realize it," he murmured to himself, reflecting on his past mistakes.It was a moment of deep regret for Poria. He lamented that he had not met Luna earlier and thought about a different fate."If I had met Luna earlier, would I have been the one she loved?" Faghri wondered aloud.He sat brooding in solitude, struggling with a fate that seemed inexplicable and unfair."Never mind," he finally sighed, trying to accept what he couldn't change.As tears trickled down his cheeks, Faghri quickly wiped them away, trying to regain his composure.Looking back, he noticed that Luna and Rafe had returned. They seemed to have reconciled and returned to normal. Faghri watched them, a mixture of relief and sadness in his heart."How was it? Was the curse finally lifted?" asked Faghri, trying to maintain a calm and undisturbed demeanor regardin

Luna chased Rafe to the edge of the highway, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Rafe stood dangerously close to the edge, his eyes a lifeless gray that reflected his apparent resignation to ending his life."Rafe!" Luna's voice broke through the tense air, a mixture of fear and relief coloring her tone.Rafe turned, his expression one of disbelief. "Why are you here?" he asked, his words laced with disbelief.Without a word, Luna delivered a powerful punch to Rafe's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned. Her voice, trembling with a cocktail of emotions, scolded him, "What's the point of us surviving all this time if you're just going to throw your life away?"As Rafe looked at her, his eyes changed, darkening with a resurgence of hatred. "Luna...go away. I don't want to kill you," he said softly, his voice strained with the effort of suppressing his darker impulses.It was all because of the Alpha Oath that Rafe harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge agai
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 188: Truth 4
I opened the letter Faghri had just given me. It was a letter written directly from Rafe, who was nowhere to be found.**To Luna,I know I've caused you a lot of trouble. I selfishly planned to save us both from this terrible fate, but now I realize that may not be possible. It seems that one of us must make a sacrifice, and I have chosen to be the one to do so.Luna, perhaps we will meet again in our next reincarnation, hopefully free of this curse. Before I met you, I lived a lonely life, but your presence brought color to my world.For you, Luna, I cannot break the Alpha Oath. After Aline's death, my desire for revenge has grown. I am torn between wanting to hurt you and loving you.You no longer need to look for me. If my father asks, please give him this letter. I do not want to bring suffering to anyone, so I have decided to end my life.I believe the waves will take me to the next life.Thank you, Luna.**The message ended with my heart racing wildly. This message was a clear
