A Glimpse of Happiness
Elora trembled as she stood at the bottom of the stairs. This area had been a forbidden area for her for a long time. Arthur and Sophia always reminded Elora not to go up there. Yet Elora wanted to know what was there. She had seen a flash of light brighter than the crystal chandeliers when Jacinda came in and Elora was near the stairs with Jason.
“Come on, El. Come on up,” Sophia ordered softly. “We right behind you.”
Elora turned to Arthur and Sophia, then she nodded. One. Two. Three. Elora counted every step she touched with her feet. There were fifty steps in total, quite a number, and exhausting for her little feet. Arriving up there, on the last step, the wall in front of Elora opened by itself. Then she found herself in a small room, again without windows. Elora sighed in disappointment. Did her parents intend to move her here? It’s even worse than the room down there. Down below, Elora could run around—

“Why wasn’t the other book taken too?”“There are many black books in the library, but there are only two journals, and one is at my friend’s place, which is very far from here. If you bring them both, it will take a very long time to get you from down there.”“But I don’t want to go in there again, Daddy.” Elora almost winced as she said that. Her eyes glanced sadly at the stairs that led to the dark place below.Arthur crouched down in front of Elora again. “Hey, El.” Arthur gently caressed Elora’s cheek, which was already wet with tears. “I hope nothing happens, and we can get out of here soon. But, I beg you to obey me if something really happens. I don’t want to lose you.”“I don’t want to lose you either, or Mommy, or Jacinda, or Jason.”Elora embraced Arthur with her small hands and could only hug Arthur’s neck. Arthur returned t

Elora woke up and felt a chill on one cheek. Her hands still tightly gripped the black book Arthur had given her. Elora’s face was wet and sticky with tears and snot. Elora blinked slowly. It took her a while to know where she was now. Elora was in the main room of her house. She could see the double doors opening a few feet away from her.“Daddy?” call Elora. Her voice was hoarse. Elora stood up. It was almost night. Elora smelled burnt. There were black marks in several places on the floor, with piles of ashes flying slowly in the wind from outside. But what caught Elora’s attention now was the scene close to where she lay.Arthur. Lying on the marble floor. A blackish-red liquid welled up around him.“Daddy?” Elora walked over to Arthur, half dragging her aching leg. “Daddy,” she called again. No answer. Elora shook Arthur’s body. Heavy and cold. Elora raised her hand and found her palm covered in blood.
Hëna: Arranged by The Moon Hairdryer Talk
Caspian let Elora soak in the warm water when they returned to the hotel. It must have been hard for Elora to remember the most terrible incident in her life. Caspian could feel Elora’s sadness as she told him everything. No one can bear the loss of a family like that. It was too vile for a five-year-old.Before they returned earlier, Caspian took the time to take pictures of the walls in the room where Elora was locked up. Just like Caspian thought, according to Elora, the scribbles had meaning and had something to do with Elora’s power. Caspian sent the photos to Zed and asked Zed to print and sort them. When they return to Queenstown, they will study the symbols and hopefully find some meaningful clues.“Hi.” Elora came out of the bathroom, only wearing a towel wrapped around her to mid-thigh. Her voice was hoarse and soft, and Caspian was sure there was a reason why Elora was wearing a towel instead of a bathrobe. Not that Caspian didn&rsquo
Hëna: Arranged by The Moon Fat Cat
It was almost midnight when Elora, Caspian, and Brittany arrived at the big house with a very high iron fence. Brittany opened the window and waved over the railing to a camera, watching them. The black gate opened a moment later.It increasingly convinced Elora that werewolves did like living in the suburbs, had super large houses, and hated light. This big house is an example. The light along the driveway that cuts through the courtyard was only a faint orange glow. Up ahead, a classic European-style three-story house stands tall, complete with a crystal chandelier hanging on the terrace.Brittany whistled. “Fat cat,” she said.“Want to try to seduce him? Who knows, he may be your mate,” joked Caspian.Brittany, who was behind the wheel, squinted as she watched Caspian through the rearview mirror. “You’ve treated me like a driver by sitting in the back there, Cas. At least keep your mouth shut.”“I&

“My parents’ graves?” said Elora.“Yes, and also your brother and sister.”“Where?” Elora’s hands clenched in her lap. The faces of her parents, Jacinda, and Jason flashed dimly in her mind. “Did you bury them all?”Alfonso glanced up, his eyes softened for a moment. “Yes. Me and some werewolves who work in the police. Because we found their bodies, and there’s no longer a member of The Moon Protector that left to properly bury the Alpha.”“Take me there.”“There is one thing I want to ask you before we go there.”“Say it.”“The black book,” Alfonso paused, “what is it for?”Elora turned her gaze to Caspian, asking whether or not to tell the truth. Caspian looked straight at Elora, almost expressionless.“I don’t know either,” answered Elora.“I know toda

Caspian, Brittany, and Elora searched around the house and find the real Alfonso locked up in a wardrobe in his large bedroom, along with his maid and chauffeur. After calling for help and making sure there were no more intruders, they returned to the hotel. “The intruders already knew we were coming, and they pretended to be residents of the house,” Brittany spoke after she finished making the phone call. “Alfonso is in shock and cannot be spoken to, so we cannot see him soon. I think you’d better get back to Queenstown. At least there Elora is safe, between the pack.” Caspian and Elora could not help but agree with Brittany’s idea. “Thanks for your help, Brit,” said Caspian. Brittany nodded and surveyed her torn clothes. “This is my favorite shirt,” she said with a frown. Caspian rolled his eyes. “I’ll buy a new one.” Brittany jumped from the chair and hugged Caspian happily. “You are my favorite cousin!” she said, kissing Caspian on the che

Caspian seemed to have disappeared into the earth when Elora tried to chase him. Elora thought Caspian would go for days, but he appeared early in the morning in Elora’s room while Elora was still asleep. Caspian gently shook Elora’s body. “El, wake up.” Elora opened her eyes and found Caspian lying on her side. His blue eyes stared intently at Elora with a gentle look. “You’re working today, right?” he said. Elora blinked. “What time is it?” “Four a.m.” Elora moaned softly, squirmed, then pulled the blanket higher up to cover her cheeks. Caspian laughed softly. “Where have you been?” asked Elora. Her eyes closed again, but consciousness had taken hold of her. “Take a walk,” said Caspian. “To Cooper’s grave.” Elora took her hand out from under the blanket and gently touched Caspian’s cheek. It’s cold. He must have just come home. “If you want to tell me something, tell me, Cas. Don’t keep it to yourself.” Caspia
Hëna: Arranged by The Moon The New Client
Charlie greeted Elora in the meeting room with a bright smile on his face.“My best creative director!” he shouted with his arms open as if to hug Elora.Elora jerked her head back and furrowed her brows. “You’re not usually like this,” said Elora. She didn’t accept Charlie’s intention to hug her. Elora pulled up a chair next to Charlie and sat there.Charlie cleared his throat, then inched closer. “Don’t embarrass me in front of the clients,” he whispered in Elora’s ear.Elora glanced around. There were only the two of them and a few people from other departments. “I’m not humiliating you. The clients haven’t arrived yet, have they?”“Well, not yet.” Charlie massaged the bridge of his nose. It seemed like he had a lot of heavy stuff going on lately in his life. “But we are practicing intimacy between superiors and subordinates. Because it wi
