Faghri quickly drew me in, and I could only surrender as he demanded to use the men's restroom."Hey, why are you following me?""This is the men's restroom?""Whoa, back off! Get out of here!" I pushed Faghri out and closed the door quickly.When I looked at the dress, I noticed a few broken threads. But what caused it to break?Wasn't this gown created by a world-renowned and elegant dressmaker?That's when I remembered the previous oddity. When I got the call from the insurance telemarketing company.I remembered exactly how my clothes had shifted slightly from their previous position."Is this another one of Aline's pranks?"I was convinced it had something to do with Aline. How could I not, given that she was the source of all my problems?"Luna, are you all set?""Faghri, you haven't left yet, have you?" I was a little surprised because it seemed that the guy was still waiting out there.Faghri, the asshole I met in Singapore, was now behaving nicely in general."Hey, Faghri, ju
This time, out of all the possibilities, Aline went to the bathroom."Aline, did you mess with my dress on purpose?"I don't want to play games any longer; just ask a question and I'm certain Aline is to blame."What are you talking about, Luna? I'm lost here."I heard that gentle but powerful voice once more. I tried to get out by pushing the toilet door open, but something didn't feel right."Aline! What on earth are you up to?" I screeched as it seemed that the doorknob was blocked by something from out there."Oh, nothing major, Luna. Just found a broom and leaned it against the door.""Cut it out with these strange games, Aline.""I'm not stopping, Luna. Leave Rafe alone, or you'll regret it.", Aline had threatened me with the same threat several times and it seemed she really meant it.But where could I possibly go? Rafe was the only person who could now protect me. And if I return home, I will only see my haughty mother and father."So, are you finally admitting it,Luna?""Rafe
I was trying to get out of this tight spot the whole time. But there was no power, and no help arrived."Why is this happening? There's no cleaners anywhere." this started to haunt my mind. Wasn't this place supposed to be a hotel where every corner of the room would be checked by their staff?"Help, please!" I tried to shout, desperately waiting but there was no response at all. Everything was silent, strange and very quiet."I need help.", I shouted again, hoping that the silence was just a coincidence. But I was wrong, there was still no response.Then my instincts kicked in again, as if something bad was about to happen."What's Aline up to now? This is crazy."I knew Aline did desperate things, but I couldn't guess what desperate thing she wanted to do to me this time.Yes, but it didn't take long for me to feel something. It was like a distinct, strange smell of smoke tickled my nose."Hold on, this doesn't smell like cigarette smoke."I first assumed it was cigarette smoke, but
I took a step back as the voice instructed me to move away from the door. That was the voice of someone I didn't expect to come to my rescue.Faghri, the man I had called before my cell phone signal was disrupted by unknown interference."Luna, are you clear of the door?""Yes, I've moved away." I said, and then there was a loud crash between Faghri's foot and the door. The toilet door shook violently, and the hinges nearly fell off.Fahgri repeated this process until the door completely opened."Be careful, Luna, this is dangerous!""What's happening, Faghri? Why is the hotel on fire?""It's the entire place, Luna. The whole hotel is burning." a slightly panicked Faghri declared. The man appeared to be still breathing deeply and panting from his recent run.The hotel was completely on fire, so I knew it was dangerous. This was definitely not a common occurrence."Is it possible Aline is behind this fire?" I thought for a moment, oblivious to the fact that the fire was getting closer
I heard the siren of an approaching ambulance and had no idea who had summoned it.Rafe looked at me with a cold gaze, still emotionless, but strangely with that intense gaze."Rafe, what's wrong?" I was genuinely interested in the meaning of Rafe's gaze this time.But, without saying anything, this man did something unexpected."Rafe, what are you doing?" I screamed, but Rafe did not respond.He took over Faghri's position, gently lifting me. Aline, who was standing nearby, looked on with jealousy in her eyes. "Ah, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble after this," I thought to myself.I was determined to avoid the incident this time, but my sprained leg forced me to accept being carried by Rafe and a jealous look from Aline.Meanwhile, Faghri, the impromptu hero, stood there for a moment before leaving without saying anything.It was now just Rafe and me in the ambulance. We were both swallowed up by silence, not uttering a single word.At least, that's what I thought until Rafe came
I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the medication, but my eyes have become extremely heavy. We were still talking about werewolf-related artifacts a few hours ago.Everything was quiet now that the hospital's hustle and bustle had subsided.When I looked to the side, Rafe appeared to have fallen asleep first."What hangs going on?" , Something was stirring, so I tried to suppress my sleepiness. Rafe was a strong man who would never just fall asleep.As my emotions became more jumbled, I attempted to shake Rafe's arm, who was sleeping sitting and leaning against my bed. But there was no response, as if Rafe was also lost in his dreams."Eh?"I drew my hand away, catching a glimpse of Rafe's body in the mist. Something I thought was impossible was actually happening right in front of my eyes."What the hell?" I might have fallen off this bed if it hadn't been for my frail body.Rafe's body was slightly filled with a unique sparkle, and his figure abruptly changed. Rafe lifted his
Now that the rain was falling gently, it was getting heavier over time, as though it wanted to make things more uncomfortable for everyone tonight. "Seriously, rain? Give us a break," I grumbled. The man who appeared to be possessed by a werewolf was now in front of me, and the rain was making everything even more tumultuous."Luna," he said, his voice low but firm.It sounded as though the man was purposefully pausing his sentences to produce this enigmatic sound."You need to grasp the truth about fated mates.""Fated mates, huh? Sounds like a load of make-believe to me."Despite being sceptical of the werewolf mythology that I had been exposed to over the past few weeks, I shook my head.The man seemed insistent; he gave me a fierce look as though he were asking me to accept his assertions at this precise moment."Luna, it's real. It's a part of our werewolf legacy.""But werewolves aren't my reality," I countered, and he smirked."You're in the dark, Luna. There's so much you don'
This woman named Aline always seemed to have a bad vibe about her. However, the unpleasant feeling was growing stronger, as though our journey's conclusion had already been determined."Why does this feel so off?" I turned to see Aline walking towards Rafe.The two have known each other for a very long time, and I believe Rafe is also aware of Aline's evil character. One question remained, though: Why didn't Rafe ever hold Aline accountable for everything that went wrong?"Luna, how are you holding up?" The stunning woman gave me a deceptively charming smile in return."Aline, did you have something to do with this?"I doubt that I would have sprained my leg in this manner if it weren't for that woman who locked me in the bathroom during the fire."What are you implying, Luna? I don't understand.""Cut the act, Aline. Were you behind the hotel fire?" I asked sharply, occasionally turning to Rafe, who seemed uninterested.What is Rafe's true situation? Why does it seem like this man al
"You know, Miss Luna has made significant contributions to the rural communities of Borneo by establishing numerous educational institutions," is a statement that captures the essence of local discussions. Luna's charitable efforts, known throughout the region, have had a significant impact on this large Asian island.In her own words during an interview, Luna expressed her desire to give back to the community that has supported her, saying, "My life has been greatly enriched by the people here, and I feel compelled to return their kindness. Luna's motivations go beyond this singular sentiment, however.Known for orchestrating various charitable activities, Luna has a reputation for building not only schools but also hospitals and actively participating in various humanitarian endeavors.A recent event illustrates her prominence: a throng of journalists gathered around her, each eager to ask their pressing questions. In the midst of the crowd, one reporter took the opportunity to ask
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
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. This message was a clear
