Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 27: The same enemy
Today I'm feeling very relaxed. It felt strange because, despite the fact that we slept together under the moonlight the night before, Rafe had no other attitude."Luna, I've resolved that issue," Rafe said briefly.I almost forgot about my initial goal. Remove the slander and clear Aline's previous slanderous accusations against me."I guess that explains why my phone's been quiet today. No more terror messages,"Strangely, I did not receive any frightening messages from these strangers. Even an Internet search for "woman masturbating with an eel" yielded no results."Ah, the perks of wealth and power,"I foresee. There are some things that are equally as intriguing as Rafe's information right now. It's about the magical book Rafe left behind."Luna, the future is unpredictable. It's best you keep the grimoire safe," Rafe said.This man had already packed early in the morning, and it appeared that he still had work to do."Rafe, where are you off to now?""Just out for a bit,""Hey,
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 28:The dangerous woman
Aline appeared to be more violent. She is now employing a different strategy."Rafe, how about we take a little vacation?" she asked abruptly and Rafe only replied briefly."Sure, whatever works.""Ah, Rafe, always so nonchalant, just like the old times."Aline's words made it clear that she was implying that she had known Rafe longer than I had."So, is your reluctance because of Luna, your 'contract wife'?""Enough, Aline. Drop it."I wasn't expecting Rafe to say such nice things. Despite their diametrically opposed personalities, I feel very close to these two.Aline, in my opinion, is an evil bastard, whereas Rafe retains some humanity. "Aline, why did you let those scandalous photos of Luna spread online? Was it some kind of joke?""Rafe, I just wanted to joke" I almost vomited when I saw Aline's pleading face. Her face was absolutely perfect in wearing the mask of a good girl.Rafe himself ceased responding. I have a sneaking suspicion that this guy isn't particularly intereste
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 29: Party Dress
Life is full of surprises, like as the outfit I received today, which I believed was quite expensive.It was a gorgeous dress created by a well-known brand, and I assumed that only the wealthy would wear it."Wow, this dress is stunning!", I pulled out the dress, went to my room and dressed up in front of the mirror.I had no idea I could look so wonderful until I saw the results.No, it's not narcissism, but the beauty of this gown is certainly remarkable. I would never buy this dress, but I wear it now.Everything appears to be a dream."Do all rich people live like this?", I sometimes think about how unfair the world is.But I remind myself from time to time that everything in life gives blessings.I danced in a skirt, attempting to remember my childhood. The girl had fantasised about such a lovely gown since she was a child."It's just so beautiful..." I murmured once more.I sat on the bed and gazed at the lovely box, which held another inscription."Wear this dress to the aucti
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 30: Auction
I never imagined I'd get to this point. Rafe and I exited the limo and arrived at the auction site.The event took place in the lobby of a five-star hotel and was absolutely stunning. It was fantastic; we were greeted like royalty, and the staff were extremely friendly."Rafe, what's caught your interest here?""They're rumored to have werewolf artifacts," Rafe said.This was something I had suspected. Rafe's entire search revolves around werewolves and werewolf legends. This includes our trip to Singapore."Please, go right ahead," said one of the other officers and I slid in beside Rafe and walked the red carpet.It's similar to a celebrity event, except that the super-rich, who own global economic behemoths, are in attendance."Mr. Rafe, your seat is over there," another officer guided.Something has piqued my interest. When I'm with Rafe, everyone refers to him by his usual nickname, not by his surname."It's funny, I still don't know Rafe's last name,"I could have looked it up
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 31: Auction Begin
The main event has begun. I still can't believe I'm going to these rich people's auction."I hope everything goes smoothly tonight."I had just muttered that when my gaze was drawn to the man standing next to me. Is fate really that intent on destroying me?Rafe was to my right, but the bastard who was the oilman's son was to my left."Fahgri, is that really you?""Oh, look who's here - the girl who fooled me at the hotel. You even had someone else attack me."This jerk seemed to be holding a grudge for what happened back then. I knew it wasn't my fault either; after all, this guy had invited me to do something he thought was inappropriate. Rafe stepped in and taught this guy a lesson."Fahgri, what are you doing here?" I whispered while looking the other way, seeing Rafe's expression.Rafe appeared to be still focused on the front auction, so I decided to speak with this other jerk named Fahgri."Why wouldn't I be? I've got the money for it, after all."I forget how arrogant the son
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 32: Unique Bracelet
That strange diamond appears to have sold for a high price. I've never seen so many zeros in my life."Rafe, has the item you were interested in not come up for auction yet?"I inquired of the man to my right, and Rafe simply shook his head. This guy was completely uninterested in chatting with me.This is what irritated me. Fahgri was the only one to my left at this point. And this cretin has an ugly personality."Hah, why do I have to be flanked by these two odd men" I thought to myself, refocusing on the auction.The next item up for auction was already on display. It's really interesting; everyone seems to be more enthusiastic, and I'm no exception.A bracelet studded with precious stones. It appeared gleaming and luxurious."Ladies and gentlemen, this piece of jewelry holds a long history. It was crafted over forty years by a jeweler to express her undying love."The second item appeared to have a more normal history than the first. "Tragically, the craftsman's lover passed away
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 33: Werewolf Pendant
The auction went on, but now it was my turn to feel the strain.The first thing that appeared was a black wallet. However, this item appears to have a long history as well.I don't know who made it, but based on the auctioneer's story, it appears to have been made by a famous clothing maker and was his final work before he died."Rafe, have you seen that wallet? It looks unique. Interested in bidding for it?" Aline asked and Rafe didn't answer.Aline looked at me as if she was going to code something."Luna, that wallet caught your eye too, didn’t it? Why don't we get it for Rafe? What do you think?""I'd love to, but honestly, I don't have the funds for such luxuries."I was embarrassed. How could I compete with these wealthy individuals? Unless, of course, my strange scribbles on canvas someday sell for hundreds of millions of dollars. Perhaps then I'd be willing to spend the money on this expensive auction item.The auction began, and Aline easily won. Yes, she is wealthy and has a
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 34: Auction Results
The auction result was unexpected. Yes, even though I had predicted who would win from the start.Rafe won the auction and paid $20 million for the barcelet. That's a lot of money.Even if I compare it to how much this man paid for me, that necklace is twenty times my cost."Why is my piece valued less than that necklace?", I thought to myself.I was still unwilling to let the necklace's purchase price exceed mine.Okay, let's get back to the auction. Finally, the auction was over. All of the items had been sold, and Rafe also received the item he desired.Rafe's face was relieved when he received the item he had purchased. But I was also envious when Aline suddenly handed Rafe the expensive wallet."Hey Rafe, I got this for you. Looks like your wife didn't step up, huh?" "Aline, try not to stir up trouble, okay?" Rafe replied which made me a little grateful.Yes, I'm poor and won't be able to compete with Aline. But Aline doesn't have to be like that, does she? Why does Aline always

The long awaited day has finally arrived. Today is the wedding of the son of the richest man, a prominent business tycoon. 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. Their love, pure and strong, resonates with everyone in the room.The crowd erupts in cheers as they witness this sacred bond being formed. But amidst the jubilant atmosphere, a lone figure stands in a corner of the party room, tears streaming down his face.Recognizing him, Luna calls out, "Faghri," but quickly corrects herself with a respectful tone, "Ah, I mean Mr. President. Her smile is bright and inviting.Faghri, overwhelmed with emotion, returns Luna's smile sincerely, his tears a testament to the depth of his feelings on this momentous occasion.It was obvious that Faghri still harbored s

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
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 191: Truth 7
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
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 189: Truth 5
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
