I hastily knotted my shoelaces while searching my rucksack for a walkie-talkie, flashlight, and a tiny knife.

"I don't want something like what happened in Borneo to happen again"

My heart is racing, knowing that this isn't just another meeting.

Faghri, my business partner and mentor, had requested me to meet in a dark nook near an ice cream shop.

It's early in the morning, but it's the time I said I'd be there. Maybe not, given that I arrived to the party a few minutes late.

Faghri was already waiting for me when I arrived, standing in the shadows, his eyes nervously scanning the surroundings.

"You're five minutes late," he pointed out.

"Sorry, I had some business to attend to," I said, catching my breath.

Yes, I had difficulty getting out of Rafe's house without the guards noticing. I even pretended to go for a quick jog and then change my clothing not far from home.

"Then let's get going," Faghri continued.

We were soon on our way, making our way down the desolate road into the pro

    I had been prepared for the worst, anticipating that the animal might be another snake."Calm down, Luna, it's not a snake," Faghri whispered, his eyes fixed on the swaying shrub in front of me.My terror of the enigmatic animals in this woodland nearly incapacitated me at the time.However, it appeared that my fate had been luckier than I had imagined; what emerged was a rabbit, and I glanced at Faghri with relief."Good thing," I remarked, and Faghri agreed with a nod.Faghri and I agreed to continue our adventure, becoming increasingly careful as we went.We continued into the deep woodland, the light rising higher above us.I followed Faghri, who appeared to be an expert in wilderness navigation."Sometimes I forget Faghri even dares to venture into the jungles of Borneo alone," I said to myself.I had encountered Faghri by chance in the dark forest on a prior event in Borneo. He appeared accustomed to living and exploring in such environment."Luna, stop," Faghri replied abruptly

    Faghri and I decided to take a break on the riverbank. We'd been strolling for a while; it was probably lunchtime by then.My entire body was exhausted. The river ran quietly, creating a peaceful atmosphere.I sat on a rock on the riverbank and sank my feet into the water."This is really fresh," I thought, as if the stream could temporarily wash away my exhaustion.Faghri sat down, his gaze fixed on the stream. "You know," he softly added, this river is like life." Always changing, never the same, brimming with possibilities and secrets.""Where else did you get such beautiful words?""This comes from a philosopher. He said that immersing yourself in a river would change your life forever. Because everything changes and everything flows.""The river we see now, the flow of water, is different from what we saw a second ago," Faghri said.This statement took me by surprise. How could someone's nature change as swiftly as Faghri's?"You studied too, right?" I inquired.Faghri nodded, hi

    I got the impression that our objective was getting closer as we walked down the river for about two hours."What's that?" When I noticed a pole the size of a coconut tree ahead, I softly muttered. It appeared to be an ancient stone monument.As I approached the old stone structure that stood majestically beside the river, I hastened my pace.The midday breeze swirled through my hair, creating a lovely mess. The monolith, which appeared to be centuries old, looked at me strangely."Is this part of Willowmare village?"The monument appeared to be one-of-a-kind and to have a long history. If it could tell a story, it may describe the rush and bustle of Willowmare village in the past.Faghri came up behind me and followed in my footsteps."Luna, this monument is kind of weird.""Yeah, I think we can find a clue here," I said Faghri.The monument was overgrown with moss, which likely obscured many of its inscriptions.We both swiftly swept away the moss that had clung to the stone, reveal

    Faghri snatched several packs of instant noodles from his bag. They are, indeed, the best item to eat while camping in the wilderness."Do you like instant noodles, Luna?""Of course," I said.Yes, as a poor woman, even quick noodles may be considered a savior back then.They are inexpensive and filling, but they are not healthful. But what else can you do with a limited budget?Faghri was serious as he cooked the boiled noodles near the river. Between me, the campfire danced, putting a warm glow on his face.He stirred the noodles quickly, and the unmistakable aroma of boiling noodles quickly filled the air.This was a side of Faghri that I had never expected to see in this blond man."Here, try this," he offered, handing him a dish of boiling boiled noodles.The aroma was enticing and seductive, and it seemed to seduce my nose tonight.I took my first mouthful while sitting next him. It was excellent and just right.It was absolutely tasty, even on a cold night in the forest beside

    The night continued to surround us in impenetrable blackness.Conversations on a variety of topics flowed easily. Faghri's knowledge consistently astounded me."Look at the sky, Luna. "These stars are not only beautiful to look at; they also serve as our natural map and clock," he explained.Faghri resumed his intelligent and unusual explanations. Surprisingly, I never got bored of listening to him explain himself."How can that be, Faghri?" "How can we tell the time by looking at the stars?"To be honest, I'm not very good at many things, including astronomy. It does not appear to be important to my life because I do not require it. I don't need anything else than money."Do you see that North Star?" It serves as our primary guidance. We can find direction by noting its location. "We can tell the time by observing the movement of other stars," he stated.I nodded, half understanding but still taking in Faghri's remarks."So, the stars move in a regular pattern every night?" I inquire

    The large black wolf stood erect in front of me, his piercing eyes peering deep into my soul. However, he exuded no threat, as if we had known each other for a long time."This is different from the wolf I met before," I said to myself. I was immediately reminded of the black wolf I encountered in Borneo, who gave off an intimidating atmosphere at first. Unlike the last wolf, this one seemed more approachable."I've been waiting to meet you," the wolf murmured, his voice deep and calm.I was speechless and didn't know what to say."Don't worry, I won't hurt you," the wolf comforted me, and I didn't feel threatened by this creature.I returned my gaze to Faghri, who appeared to have turned into a statue. Faghri remained still, but I knew he was okay."Faghri's not in danger, is he?" I requested that the wolf check Faghri's current status."He's not in any danger," the wolf informed them.The wolf swirled around me like a puppy eager to play."How can I save Faghri?" I asked right away,

    As I approached, the sky darkened, and I found myself at a gigantic tree in the heart of the forest. Despite the fact that I was exhausted from my lengthy journey, something about this place captivated me.The black wolf I was riding came to a halt in its shadow and motioned me to dismount."Why are we stopping here?" I inquired, surprised.It was late, but the moonlight was bright, illuminating the enormous tree nearby."It all started with this big tree," the wolf replied, his voice deep and full of a thousand stories.I took another look at the tree; it was truly unique and unusual, having possibly witnessed hundreds of individuals living around it over the years.I sat on the sprawling tree's roots, enchanted by the magic of this location."So, what happened here?" I inquired."This is where a testament of love begins, and on the other side, a relentless curse," the wolf said."A curse that you must resolve as soon as possible," it went on to say.I didn't entirely comprehend it,

    I listened carefully as the man began to tell me a story. I realized that this story was also linked to my life and safety. "Our love story is intertwined in an unusual way, full of lessons." "My childhood friend and I, as werewolves, always felt different from others," he began. "What do you mean?" I interjected, surprised by the unusual twist in his sentence. "We always felt different from the rest of the villagers," he explained, his eyes distant. "We fell in love at the age of nineteen, under the enchantment of a full moon," he says. He raised his hand as he spoke, as if attempting to touch the moonlight slipping through the leaves of the large tree above us. "It sounds like something out of a fairy tale," I said to myself. "Yes, like a fairy tale, but with a sad ending," he added, pausing briefly before proceeding with his story. "We made a critical mistake. We used the sacred Grimoire, our tribe's magic book, as a mat for our lovemaking in the heat of our passion. It was

The atmosphere is one of joy and celebration, enhanced by a clear, sunny sky that seems to bless the couple's union.As they stand before their loved ones, Rafe looks lovingly into Luna's eyes and vows, "I accept your love and promise to love you for the rest of my life.

    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

    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

    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.
