“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

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

“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 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

“You two know each other?” Elora pointed at Caspian and the man.“No,” replied Caspian.“Of course,” replied that man. “Looks like I haven’t said my name before, Miss. My name is Aiden.” He then reached out to Elora, which Caspian quickly blocked. Aiden was surprised and almost jumped. “Oh!” He looked at Caspian in incredulity, then laughed so softly until his shoulders shook.“Is she your lover?” asked Aiden, looking amused.“Yes. Have a problem?” replied Caspian coldly.Aiden raised his hand and pulled it to his chest. “No, absolutely not!”Honestly, Elora thinks Aiden’s moves are too much. It seemed like he was deliberately irritating Caspian. “Then, see you later, Elora and Caspian!” Aiden waved and got into the elevator. “Ah, I want to see Charlie again. There’s something I forgot to mention at the meeting
