Deprived in My Own Home Chapter 10
I officially began my new position at City Hall.My new residence wasn't large. It had two bedrooms and a living room and there was a south-facing terrace where I could see the bright moon at night.I personally chose my bed, desk, and curtains. I placed the moonstone lamp I had used for so many years next to the window.The second bedroom became my study. I hung a photo of my team on the wall.In the photo, I stood in the middle and was surrounded by everyone while smiling brightly.This time, the photo had been taken by a professional photographer.On the day I moved in, my colleagues arrived with roasted meat and fresh berries to celebrate with me.One of the logistics staff made a special trip over to cook for everyone.During the past five years of closed deployment, she had always treated me kindly. After learning that I was allergic to shellfish, she had even written it down in a notebook because she was afraid she might accidentally give me something that would make me

Five years later, I had successfully completed the closed deployment.I had worked diligently and made numerous contributions. I had single-handedly stopped rogue infiltration attempts at the outpost several times.Due to my accomplishments, I was promoted and was about to begin working at Werewolf City Hall.A report praising my achievements appeared on the screen while my family was having dinner in the old house.On the screen was a live broadcast of my appointment ceremony. I stood at the far right of my team in a neat official guard uniform.Mom recognized me immediately. The fork in her hand fell to the floor. She stood up and moved so close to the screen that she was nearly pressed against it.Five years had passed. My hair was cut short, and my shoulders and back were straight. My face was filled with determination and resolve.There was no longer any trace of the cautious, people-pleaser I had once been.During an interview, a reporter asked me, "I've heard that the co

Thirty days later, my family moved back into the old house, a cramped 600-square-foot space marked by a narrow hallway and walls heavily stained with dampness.Keane's belongings could only be squeezed into a corner of the living room. Kalista had to keep her clothes in an old wooden chest.Every day, Mom went to clean the tiny place I used to rent.She always had the strange feeling that I was still there, and that I hadn't really left.Every so often, she sent me a message.[Blair, we tore down the walk-in closet.][We bought you a bed and a desk.][Your room is still empty. No one has moved into it.][When are you coming back to see it?]Every message showed a single gray tick at the end.My phone had long been deactivated. The mind link was still completely silent. It was like a stone wall through which nothing could pass.Dad quit smoking and drinking. Mom stopped buying expensive jewelry. Kalista began selling the clothes she had packed into boxes, one piece at a time.

Mom found a forgotten document folder behind one of the cabinets on the balcony.Inside were renovation sketches I had drawn who knew how many years ago.Back then, our family had still been crammed into our old house.I had carefully written stuff on the drawings.[Mom and Dad will have the master bedroom. This one will have an attached bathroom.][Kalista is sensitive to noise, so the south-facing room will be quieter for her.][Keane needs space to train, so his room should be larger too.]Finally, I had drawn a tiny smiling face next to the smallest room.[This one is for me. A bed and a desk will be enough.]There were several furniture order forms tucked beside the drawings.There was one for a cheap little wooden bed, one for a small desk to place by the window, and a moonstone lamp that gave off a warm yellow glow.It turned out I had been planning for this home long ago. No matter how much effort it took, I had always intended to earn it.They checked the records a

The following day, my parents went to my former guard station using the address provided by the captain.The captain received them, but the expression in his eyes remained unusually complicated.After a long silence, Mom could no longer hold back.She finally asked anxiously, "Where exactly did Blair go?"We're her parents. Can't you just tell us?"The captain shook his head."This was an opportunity she fought for herself."Under the werewolf confidentiality code, I cannot reveal the location. It doesn't matter who asks."After a brief pause, he forced a smile."You should be happy for her."She's exceptional. She is fully capable of handling this assignment. When this rotation ends, her record of service will be enough for the werewolf council to directly nominate her as a regional elder. She'll have a real voice within the entire werewolf hierarchy."Mom stared at him in shock."She's capable of doing work like that?"The captain looked at her."Why wouldn't she be?"

By the time the ceremony ended, it was nearly midnight.Mom had drunk quite a bit. The first thing she did after returning to the new apartment was send me a message.[Blair, are you done cleaning up?][There are still two boxes on the balcony. Remember to move them down to the basement when you come back.]The messages were sent, but there was no reply.After waiting for ten minutes, Mom's expression gradually darkened."Her attitude is getting worse and worse."Dad was removing the ceremonial sash he had worn earlier. He snorted. "Let her be."She earned this apartment through her achievements. She treasures it too much to stay away for long."Kalista was silent for a moment."Didn't Blair say she was staying with a friend for a few days?"Maybe she's still upset with us and doesn't want to come back yet."Mom rubbed her aching temples."She's so petty. We raised her all these years. What's wrong with checking her backpack?"Besides, didn't we later prove that she hadn'
