In one place in Japan, a contemplative man named Rafe, wearing only a towel around his lower body, was reflecting deeply. He muttered to himself, "I... I can't resist anymore." In the bathroom, Alines was taking a long shower.Rafe's mind wandered back to a pivotal moment, the recitation of the Alpha Oath that had bound him to Alines in a way he couldn't resist. He remembered a critical moment when his restraint had saved Faghri's life, when he had consciously chosen not to pull the trigger.This memory intensified his realization of his current predicament: under Aline's influence, he felt an overwhelming sense of obedience, unable to resist her even in extreme situations. "Now I can't even challenge Aline, no matter what she does," he whispered, a sense of resignation in his voice.The scent of sweat lingered on him, a reminder of his recent intimate encounter with Aline. Lost in thought, Rafe stood, struggling with the weight of his circumstances and the consequences of his choices

Faghri and I found ourselves at the same gaming table as Aline and Rafe. I braced myself for what I expected to be a grueling game.Curious, I asked Faghri, "How much money is at stake here?"Faghri replied calmly, "I'll keep it under ten million dollars.Meanwhile, I noticed that Aline was handling a large quantity of chips and appeared to be in the process of converting the illegal funds into poker chips.Feeling overwhelmed, I leaned over and whispered to Faghri, "But I don't even know how to play.Realizing his oversight, Faghri's face had the shock of someone struck by lightning in a clear sky. "Ah, then you'll be my assistant," he decided quickly, causing me to rise from my seat. This sudden movement drew curious glances from the others, and Aline's expression registered surprise.When the game began, it was intense from the start. But one aspect stood out: Aline's strategy of going all-in at every opportunity.I couldn't help but wonder, "Is Aline racing against time?"As I wat

I still ventured into that dreamland as if it had become a familiar refuge. But this visit was different.Instead of Diabolos, I was greeted by an enchantingly beautiful woman."Welcome, Luna," she said warmly, taking my hand in a welcoming gesture, while I stood in stunned silence, unsure of the unfolding scenario.Perplexed, I managed to say, "What's going on?""Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet," the woman replied, her laughter tinged with a captivating charm. Her presence was undeniably mesmerizing."I am the remains of a woman deeply in love with a man," she revealed, her voice echoing with poetic sadness."You're familiar with Diabolos, aren't you?" she asked, and I nodded in agreement.I was well aware of Diabolos, the enigmatic being who often drew me into this bizarre realm."I am his mistress," she declared, sending a wave of shock through me. If her words were true, then she was the catalyst for Diabolos' obsession with mortality and his perilous quest.Horrifi

After stretching for a while, I felt surprisingly exhausted, even though I had just woken up from a night's sleep. As I approached Faghri, I asked, "Faghri, have you located the rafe yet?" He simply shrugged his shoulders, a non-verbal indication that no new information had surfaced.My thoughts returned to the Grimoire. It had been in Aline's possession before, but its current whereabouts were a mystery. "Faghri, did you notice the Grimoire in her car yesterday?" I asked."I'm not sure, Luna. It's possible," Faghri replied, his uncertainty evident in his tone.Faghri, absorbed in his phone, suddenly looked pale. "Luna, Aline's father has been informed of her death," he revealed. I had expected that Aline's father would eventually learn of her death, but I hadn't expected the news to reach him in less than a day."Luna, we have to leave immediately.""Where to?" I asked.Faghri, avoiding my question, added another cryptic statement."Our location has been compromised. I fear that Alin

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
