The dim light was kind of comforting. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, everything had changed.I found myself at this weird, fancy ball.It was like something out of an old story, with everyone dressed up and dancing in this rich scent."Excuse me, who are you?" I muttered as I looked at a man who stood out. It would not be an exaggeration to say that man possessed a distinct charm. Like a jewel shining through a sea of acorns."Looks like you're new around here. How about a dance to break the ice?" he asked suddenly which made me flinch.I knew it was probably dumb, but I went for it and reached out to him. It felt like a shock when we touched."What?" I whispered to myself unconsciously as the man pulled me into the center of the dance party.He was dancing really well, and somehow got me to join in."Hold on, I don't even dance, do I?" I thought to myself because all I knew was that I was just an ordinary woman whose waist was not that flexible.It's weird, considering I'v
It was still very early in the morning when I woke up, usually this house is not this loud as if something special had happened today.I looked at the wall of my room, remembering this strange dream again. A dream in which I met a man who claimed to be a werewolf.I didn't care if he was a werewolf or not, but I felt something different about him."Luna, darling, are you awake?"I remembered that voice, my mother's voice, the voice I rarely heard when she called me in the morning like that. "Yes, Mom. Is everything okay?" I tried to rise from the bed, opening the door and the woman who was my mother was already standing in front of me.Her face wasn't what it used to be, now it was full of smiles, as if something good had happened today. "Oh, Luna, I've got some wonderfully happy news to share!" "Really? What's the news, Mom?" I asked. Obviously, I couldn't guess what the news was.The only thing I know when I see my mom smiling is that my dad is winning at gambling and making quit
This is what it's like to be sold by your parents. I usually read it from old medieval stories. But now I've experienced it myself.I stood in front of a large gate, the two men who had brought me in earlier rang the bell and several other men appeared to open the gate."Wow, this house is huge! How many people live here?" I thought to myself.Honestly, I feel a little unsure, this big house is really extraordinary. Compared to my house, my house is no different from a dog kennel. "Please come inside, Mr. Rafe is expecting you." said one of the ladies.Wait, Rafe? I think I've heard this name before, no, not just before, I've heard it often."Rafe? With such a grand house, could he be the Rafe I know?" I thought to myself.I'm a fan of TV gossip. Rafe is a name that has been discussed and reported quite a bit.A man who was only twenty-five years old, but already very rich. There was a rumor that he had sold himself to the devil, and I believed it."How does someone so young get this
The house was huge, and the room Rafe assigned me was also huge.The soft mattress seemed to slowly swallow up my body, completely immersing me in the dream world I was looking forward to.I turned my gaze back to the dark hallway, and with it darkness enveloped me, making me feel like I was sinking into nothingness. But the next second everything returned to normal.I noticed a large green space and beautiful meadows. The blue sky is filled with slow moving clouds."What's happening? I sense something unusual." I looked down at my hands, as if nothing strange had happened."This scent?" I was stunned. I remembered that scent very well, the scent of the man I met in my dream earlier. The man who asked me to dance at the nobles' ball.When I turned around, there he was, the nameless man smiling faintly in the distance."Why do you keep your distance? Are you uncomfortable around me?" I half-joked because I knew how it was impossible that the man who had suddenly kissed me still had a
rafe wasn't kidding when he said we were going to Singapore, and now we're there. Luckily the guy was kidding when he asked me to help him move his stuff."Rafe, you mentioned this was a business trip, right? But I didn't see you in any meetings today?"Honestly, this confuses me. Rafe claimed he was taking me on a business trip, but since we arrived he had been admiring the scenery and checking his phone."Business trips aren't always about meeting people.", Rafe said briefly even though I still wanted to protest, but I was afraid to protest now, he might leave me alone in Singapore and go back to his big house.Rafe and I had been spinning for two hours without any clear idea. Yes, there is no clear statement. "This feels more like a date than a business trip, though." I thought to myself, but I quickly discarded that stupid thought.How could it be? Rafe is not a guy who is romantically interested in me, is he?"So, where are we heading now?" half an hour passed and I forced mysel
Now I sit alone on a bench by the roadside and watch the tourists passing by.Rafe told me he had other things to do and asked me to wait."How much longer do I have to wait here?" I asked and in his typical fashion he looked at me and replied "Not long".I shouldn't have trusted him so much because it's been an hour and he hasn't come back yet.He had just had a deep conversation with me and shown me another side of himself, and now he left me here alone."Hey, alone?" I heard a voice and turned my head. It was a man, blond hair and wearing black sunglasses as if he was on the beach."No" I answered straightforwardly, yes I wasn't lying because I wasn't alone now. I came with Rafe even though Rafe is currently away somewhere."Miss, no need to be so shy" the man grabbed my hand and I quickly pulled it away. Damn, how dare he touch me.Since fines are high, Singaporeans should be afraid of committing crimes. However, the damn man spat softly in disgust in front of me.I know he is a t
Many people may be sceptical of what I see. Rafe appears to pick up the phone and dial a number.The call lasted only a few seconds before the man's cell phone rang in front of Rafe."Hello, Dad. I... I'm sorry, Dad. Really sorry." the blond man said in surprise. His father didn't usually call like that."Sorry, Dad. Well, I'm sorry" the man said quietly and looked hesitantly at Rafe who was still staring with that cold gaze."Mr. Rafe, I deeply regret my earlier behavior." said the man with a scared look on his face but still holding fear. "Apology accepted. Now slap yourself three times and leave."To my surprise, the blond man did as Rafe said and slapped himself.Not once, but three times, until I saw blood oozing from the man's nose."Understood, Mr. Rafe. I'll be on my way then." said the man who seemed to be hurrying away from our location. "Thank you for handling that." I said to Rafe, who had solved the problem. "It's nothing to worry about."said Rafe.Rafe was carrying a
The mansion is full of secrets, particularly in a large room where Rafe is alone.The billionaire who married Luna, this man who refused to touch his wife because it was just a contract marriage, seemed to be hiding something big."I refuse to be enslaved by you." Rafe said with sharp eyes. There was no one there, and strangely the man seemed to be talking to someone else.At this time, a big secret was revealed: Rafe's mouth seemed to move involuntarily, and then his eyes darkened, followed by a contemptuous voice."Rafe, you are destined to be my successor. Why resist what's inevitable?""The whole 'mate' concept? It's nonsense. Love shouldn't be shackled by some mystical fate.""But you forget, Rafe, you're not mere human. You're my kin, a werewolf through and through."Anyone who witnesses this scene will undoubtedly believe that this young billionaire is insane. He speaks to himself and exchanges words. However, if we listen closely, we will notice that one of the sounds coming o
