In the middle of the forest where the trees spoke of old secrets Faghri and I stood together our breath mixing with the cool air. It felt like bad things were going to happen soon because of the tension in the air. Every time Faghri looks at me or the wolf his eyes get warm but now they had a glint that was like recognition. "Are you okay?" His voice was soft but it didn't help calm the storm that was building up inside me. I nodded and a smile formed on my lips but didn't reach my eyes. The wolf's low growls about fate and destiny made my heart beat like a wild drum. It was strange to hear this mythical being talk as if it knew everything about me. "I didn't know werewolves were real" Faghri said out loud not bothered by the wolf's eloquence. His voice was full of wonder which was very different from the tight knot of fear in my stomach. What was with his calmness? "Aren't you the least bit surprised by this?" "Why?" I asked my voice a mix of surprise and question. When he looked
Rafe calls my name through the thick forest air. I turn around and am shocked to see him descending from a helicopter, landing with all the speed and grace of a superhero.While I'm still in shock, Rafe quickly reaches out and gives me a comforting, overwhelming hug.Two people have already hugged me this morning in this forest, a coincidence that won't go away."Are you all right?" Rafe looks into my eyes with concern as he steps back to gauge my response."I'm okay," I reply, my voice quivering slightly.Faghri is watching us from the corner of my eye, his eyes tinged with jealousy. I haven't fully grasped the complexity of the situation yet.Rafe points his gun at the wolf he just shot, unaware of his own feelings. The wolf isn't hurt, surprisingly. Instead, it looks at us with a mix of interest and confusion."Why did you bring your Fated Mate too?" the wolf asks, sounding almost accusatory.Silence envelops us, and I don't know how to respond to the phrase "Fated Mate" hanging in
I carefully took the old bracelet off of Ani's sleeping hand, feeling its weight and the history it held. In the cave, the morning light was dim and cast long shadows over Ani's calm face. She was still dreaming and didn't know that a magical journey was happening all around her.From next to us, the wolf looked at me with eyes that knew what they were seeing. In a rough voice, he said, "Your path is full of difficulties." When he talked about the seventh reincarnation figure, I got a chill. He made it sound like this person was a dangerous and obsessed force in our shared future.The wolf's eyes got stronger as it led me to a quieter part of the cave. "Be careful, Luna," he told me. His words echoed how important my link was to Rafe and Faghri, my Fated Mates. Making the wrong choice now could lead to terrible things.I was startled when a small voice broke the silence. I felt overwhelmed by how deeply I was involved in this werewolf plot. "Sis?" It was Ani getting up.I ran to her s
From the cave's edge, I watched Ani approach the two wolves.After everything that had happened before, this was an unexpected reunion. Right now, I'm at a loss for words.Ani's tears seemed unbearable as she gently stroked the wolf's fur. The little girl appeared to miss her mother and father terribly."Dad, mom," Ani said, tears streaming down her cheeks.A young girl who thought her parents had abandoned her. Now the parents of the girl appeared in the form of this terrifying wolf."Eh? What exactly is it?"I let out a small gasp, forgetting that the wolf could revert to human form.When Ani's father and mother appeared, her sobbing became more intense. Anyone would cry if they witnessed something like this.I recall meeting Ani behind Ani's grandmother's house. Ani was looking for grass to create a "potion" to resurrect her mother and father.Ani's mother and father had appeared in front of her. In front of Ani, the normally upbeat little girl."Mom, Dad... are you guys coming bac
I never imagined that my time in this village would come to an end so soon. I've only been in this village for a few weeks, but the stories I've heard make me feel like I've been here for months. When, in fact, it had only been a few days."Luna, we're leaving," said Rafe, the wealthy man who had brought me here to find the werewolf artifact.I looked at Faghri, who had been silent the entire time, as if he had something to say but was having difficulty saying it."Do you have something to say?" I inquired once more, and Faghri nodded.Maybe Faghri had heard the wolf's words about how I was fated to be with these two men earlier. I'm not certain, but I believe this was the cause."Can we meet again later?""Of course," I said.Faghri appeared to want to continue asking, but Rafe abruptly grabbed my hand. The woman who owned the house was also standing nearby, as if she wanted to see us leave."What about Ani?" I wondered, remembering that girl. Ani had recovered and was content. Her b
"I'm tired," I've been saying for the past few days.It's been a week since I returned from the village. It had been a fantastic trip, and I could finally relax on Rafe's soft sofa."I hope there's no trouble," I suddenly said, abruptly stopping myself, fearing I might jinx things.Everything was perfect today. Aline, the source of my problems in this house, has also never appeared, as if the girl had vanished from my life at this time.My phone suddenly rang, an incoming message from the blond man I knew.His name was Faghri, and he was the wealthy son of the owner of a large oil refinery in midle east. The ability to establish a company overseas demonstrated that their family's power could not be underestimated."What's up?" I said as I answered the phone, caught off guard by the sudden message."Have you forgotten your promise?" he texted next, causing me to pause for a moment.Promise? What promise did I make to Faghri?I thought for about five minutes before realizing what he mea
We eventually made it to the café that Faghri had recommended. At first glance, it appeared ordinary, and I couldn't understand Faghri's confidence in the ice cream's quality."We're not in the wrong place?" My surprise was evident in my question, but Faghri simply grinned inexplicably."Just follow me first, and you'll be surprised later," Faghri said as he walked ahead.It can be difficult for me to understand what this man is thinking at times. I was worried that Faghri was planning something bad."That's impossible," I said to myself, quickly dismissing the thought.Faghri has changed significantly; I no longer consider him evil.The cafe appeared to be identical to any other cafe upon entry. A few students were working on assignments on their laptop computers.Some people appeared to be writing a screenplay. If my assumption is correct, they must be authors looking for inspiration."What an intriguing way of life," I said quietly.My intention was to sit down on a chair, but Fagh
Right in front of me are two pretty big ice cream sundaes. To be honest, the smell is ridiculously tempting. "So, what do you think? Is it hitting the spot?" I nod, answering Faghri's question from a moment ago. How could it not be my thing? Who wouldn't love ice cream like this? Especially for someone like me, who's more used to the budget-friendly kind. "Tastes great," I say, keeping it short. Faghri's got his own ice cream too. The calm vibe of this ice cream place just makes everything better. That's what I thought at first, anyway. Then suddenly, a few more people show up. Looks like they're other customers who just came in. I can't explain why, but I get this feeling they're going to be trouble for me later. "What's up?" Faghri asks, looking over at me. I glance back at him and shake my head. "Nothing," I reply. I mean, I can't just go spilling my gut feelings to Faghri. But for some reason, I can't stop watching these new arrivals. They're three women, all dressed pret
"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
