I didn't talk to Rafe much after that. I just followed him as he brought me to his house and hoped nothing bad would happen.

What's more, Aline's statement before our early departure still had me thinking.

“Luna, welcome to hell. Nobody's coming to your rescue now," Aline taunted.

We got home quickly. The house I live in now feels like a distant memory.

This is Rafe's mansion, guarded like a fortress for the ultra-rich.

“Luna, come on down,” Rafe said, offering me the wheelchair. I went downstairs and sat down, but I brushed off Rafe's hand when he tried to help.

“I've got this,” I said, a bit sharply.

I don't know why I was so irked with Rafe. I knew our marriage was just a contract. I knew I had no right to be jealous.

But seeing Rafe's apparent partiality towards Aline over me left a bitter feeling in my heart.

I went inside, and Rafe left me to my own devices, entering ahead of me.

Now, I was stuck with Aline. She turned to me, her smile sly as ever.

    The days became a little different, especially since I often had to use a wheelchair, although the only problem was a sprained leg.So due to the discomfort I decided to use the cane now and then suddenly Rafe came and asked."Why aren't you using the wheelchair instead?""It's just more comfortable this way," I replied.I was still annoyed with this guy, even though Rafe had already revealed the reason why he couldn't be mad at Aline. But I also wanted Rafe to defend me from time to time."I'm going to head to my room," I said, picking up a bottle of milk, but Rafe quickly intervened.He grasped my hand, and our eyes met once more. Rafe's piercing gaze was even more intense than his werewolf trance."Is there something wrong?""I need to talk to you," Rafe stated in a flat tone. This man, who I had shared a bed with, still showed no real emotion.Oh, shoot. Why did I even get involved with him? Just thinking about him made me angrier."It's about the werewolf thing again, isn't it?"

    The moon looks really beautiful tonight. The moonlight reflected in the eyes of the man in front of me."Rafe, be careful with that necklace," I cautioned as I saw Rafe losing control.Rafe placed the necklace on the grass and quickly turned to me with a wild look in his eyes."Rafe," I gasped as he gently bit my neck, awakening a strange, indescribable feeling in me.I hate this man, but on the other hand, I need him. These mixed feelings were now heightened by this intense passion.Rafe's hand moved deftly, slipping under my clothes, and I felt that incredible sensation once again.His touch was gentle yet fervent, caressing my chest in a way that heightened my arousal.I couldn't help it; his touch electrified me, sending shivers through my body as he fondled me."Rafe," I whispered, overwhelmed by the sensation.This feeling was truly amazing. And then Rafe's lips met mine. Our lips connected softly, the sensation incredibly tender.Rafe gazed at me intently, his face close to min

    The strange, instructive song still echoed. The soft sound added to the beautiful atmosphere of the night.Under the silvery full moon, I danced in Rafe's embrace, which gradually became more and more intimate.I took off my clothes and threw them on the ornamental plants that grew nearby. Rafe did the same.We rolled on the grass, moving rhythmically. Where Rafe was moving his hips, I now felt this amazing feeling.As if something was penetrating my stomach, I felt full but comfortable. It's a great feeling that every move Rafe makes gives me pleasure and comfort.“Rafe, slow down,” I whispered, but Rafe didn't seem to hear me. Instead, he moved with increasing urgency.It was here that I saw Rafe's loving expression, so different from his usual cold demeanor. Under the warm embrace of the moonlit night, he seemed transformed."What's going on?"Rafe also stopped for a moment, and we both heard something. Footsteps approaching.“Rafe, is that you?”"Damn!" I cursed under my breath, r

    I'm not lying, this incident is really crazy.Imagine Rafe squeezing my breasts while Aline cries in front of me, not knowing that we are having sex here.“Can't focus with all this going on!”On the one hand, I liked Rafe's movements, which made me feel comfortable. I felt this foreign body in my stomach, making me almost moan.But then again, I had to hear what this woman was crying about.“Rafe, what's with her? Is she part of that werewolf legend you're obsessed with?” I heard Luna still complaining as Rafe kept his hands on my body.I was really into it. I followed Rafe's movements, biting the man's lip, while behind me Aline cried.It seemed like Aline didn't know we were here, but there seemed to be some sentimental value between Aline and that big tree that made Aline sentimental.“Ease up, Rafe,” I told Rafe, who was embracing me, moving rhythmically.I wrapped my legs around Rafe's waist, matching his rhythm.“Why's Aline so hung up on this place?” I whispered to Rafe, but h

    Four days have passed since the incident. Now, everything appears normal, with a few exceptions, of course.I'm no longer bothered by Aline, which makes me extremely cautious. I had no idea what horrible deed Aline would pull off next.I watched television today while sitting on the couch and thinking."Why is sex just... meaningless without love?"That was beginning to cross my mind. Rafe and I had already had two sexual encounters, and neither of us seemed to have grown to love the other.I made an effort to think positively once more, "Maybe there's a silver lining in all this."The song lyrics I heard from the pendant are one of the positive things I'm not lying about.Yes, that's when I was giving Rafe a kiss. Even though it was only for a brief moment, the locket produced a very lovely tone and sound.[Under the moon's gentle, age-old gaze, in an era when myth and humanity intertwined, two wolves wandered through the dim mist, created by lunar deities.]All that's going on here

    Now that multiple suitcases of clothes had been successfully packed, I had to clean up quickly. Since I knew Rafe wouldn't take me to the city center this time, I also packed some survival gear."Where exactly are we headed?""There's this quaint village, steeped in an intriguing legend," Rafe explained.Yes, that was the previous response, and I could already tell that life there would be extremely difficult.After we left an hour later, Aline didn't return, acting as though she had vanished from my life.But is that really the case? Because I still recall Aline saying that she would make my life unbearably difficult in her final words.Time also seemed to fly by as we boarded the aircraft and set off on our adventure. A twelve-hour flight means it will be a long journey, I suppose.Curious, I asked, "Rafe, just how long are we planning to stay in Indonesia?"Singapore was the destination of our most recent short-term trip overseas.Rafe seemed to be in deep thought when I glanced at

    I got to the local airport with Rafe. It was a very different atmosphere, much hotter and much warmer.However, I wasn't surprised by that but something else was. I met a man at the airport when Rafe and I were leaving."Faghri, is that you?" I asked cautiously, and Faghri instantly denied it. However, I noticed that Faghri's expression changed the moment she saw Rafe standing next to me.I was aware that there was a bad relationship between these two, and that Faghri was partly to blame. It all began with the first hotel incident, and it appeared that Rafe's punch to Faghri's face had left some lasting trauma.The man simply nodded before quickly moving away.In a low voice, I asked, "Why is he here too?"Rafe replied nonchalantly, "Might be here for the oil business."I forget sometimes that Faghri is the son of a petroleum company owner. He might be scouting potential sites for a new refinery.I turned up Rafe's sleeves and looked at him, curious but knowing it wasn’t my place to p

    This trip was insane; I can't even count how many times I came close to passing out after we turn onto a dirt road. Yellow soil, rocky and occasionally wet."Rafe, this can't be right, can it?"Even though I knew we were getting closer to our destination, the road was really challenging. There are moments when I find it hard to understand how people manage to live in peace in this place."Trust me, we're on the right track."We didn't converse much on the journey. That was for a reason, of course, and part of it was that I was still irritated by Rafe's considerate behavior toward Aline."Rafe, what's your take on what Aline's going to do?""It's hard to say. Her decisions can be quite unpredictable.""Doesn't it worry you? She might try to hurt me.""Let's just say, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility."I screamed, "Ouch," as our car slid over the uneven stone path. I might have puked in the car earlier if not for the embarrassment.Rafe appeared skilled; he could maneuver the vehicle

    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.
