She is Not a Beast
Elora and Caspian entered the assembly hall. Dozens of people waiting for them, sitting on high-backed wooden chairs and talking to each other with serious faces.
There was a moment of silence when Elora and Caspian appeared. Elora felt goosebumps all over her body as everyone here stared at her in silence. Flashes of Elora’s dream repeated unbidden in her memory. The werewolves that attacked her, tore her apart….
Elora’s chaotic heartbeat subsided as Caspian took her hand and led her to sit at the very end of the chair. Caspian took his seat next to her, facing everyone present.
“Didn’t we just finish the meeting a few days ago? All closed fine.” Caspian started the conversation calmly, but it seemed that everyone there was getting impatient.
“Hand her over,” someone said. His eyes widened at Elora, harboring a rage that Elora didn’t know what caused it.
“Why should I hand her over?&rdqu

Zed takes Elora to her room and accompanies her while Caspian meets with the Alphas.“I didn’t expect the problem to be this big,” Zed said.“What actually happened? Did you save Caspian and me? Kate said when we were found, we were in terrible condition—” Elora’s breath hitched. She pressed her forehead with both hands. “What the hell happened to me,” she mumbled as she buried her face in her palms. In that instant, being herself was tiring.“You guys—laying down covered in blood…and, there’s a lot of blood in there,” Zed caught his breath, “the other members and I were looking for you after we received a report from one member. He saw a fight while patrolling the border. He said he saw—” Zed paused. Elora looked up and their eyes met.Elora knew why Zed had stopped, and what Zed’s gaze meant to her.The member said he saw a monster.

“What is it?” Caspian jumped on his bed as Elora slipped under the covers in a hurry. Caspian sat up and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.“El? What happened to you?” asked Caspian as he pulled the blanket away.Elora curled up like a frightened little girl, and before long, her face turned red. Partly because she embarrassed to show her timid side and because she saw Caspian wearing nothing under the covers.Caspian ignored Elora’s glaring eyes looking at his lower body. He inched closer and grabbed Elora’s chin so that her gaze drifted to Caspian’s face.“What is it? Why did you suddenly come in like you’ve seen a demon? Are you having nightmares again?”“Aa—I,” Elora stammered, “it looks like someone came into my room.”Without asking any further questions, Caspian immediately got up from the bed, put on the cloth pants draped at the end of hi

“I love you.”Elora stared at the screen in front of her. Earphones were in her ears, and a bowl of salad was in Elora’s lap. She had just stopped shoveling salad into her mouth when the words sounded and her conversation with Javier replayed in her head. Elora glanced across at Caspian, who was busy chatting with the flight attendant. Elora didn’t really hear their conversation. She only caught words like ‘coffee’, ‘smoking’, and ‘my lover’. It seemed they were talking about Elora.Elora went back to watching the romantic movie that was showing on the big screen in front of her. Not long after, someone removed the earphone from one of Elora’s ears, then Caspian’s face appeared in front of her, blocking Elora’s view from the screen. Caspian smiled. The kind of smile that could make Elora hold her breath and her heart skip a beat.“You look so serious,” said Caspian, and he
Hëna: Arranged by The Moon Guilty
Maribeth served two cups of tea on the table, in front of Elora and Caspian, who were now sitting on the dull yellow sofa. Almost nothing has changed from this place, apart from the wallpaper that looks like it’s just been replaced, ivory yellow with tiny colorful flowers. Maribeth, the owner of this orphanage, has a taste for everything that contains flowers. Elora still remembered her room upstairs, where the bed was always covered with begonia-patterned sheets.Maribeth smiled and looked at Elora and Caspian. “I haven’t seen you in a long time. You said you’d send word after you got out of here.”Elora looked down, staring at her wrinkled blouse. She was gathering courage and reason, but none of them came to the surface. There is only guilt. Guilty that for years, Elora judged this place not to accept her. Her views when she was a child and as an adult turned out to be different.As soon as she saw Maribeth, with the wrinkles on

“What are you thinking about?” Caspian’s voice pulled Elora out of her reverie.Elora pulled the cigarette out of her mouth and looked up when Caspian appeared on the balcony. He was only wearing a dark blue bathrobe, just like the current night sky. Elora sat on the balcony smoking a cigarette and enjoying the nighttime parade of lights in Auckland as Caspian showered. Without Elora knowing, she was lost in the memories of her past.There were so many things she wasted all this time. It was possible that if she had not been so skeptical of the people at the orphanage, Elora could have lived a different life. It wasn’t that Elora regretted her job and her current state. However, Elora’s soul would have been better if she realized the love that people gave her.“That book,” said Elora. Elora was reluctant to share her guilt towards Maribeth with Caspian, but Elora wasn’t completely lying when she said she was thinki
Hëna: Arranged by The Moon My House
Elora couldn’t sleep all night. She thought about Caspian’s whereabouts, who had left without his cell phone. Elora hated herself for asking Caspian such a stupid thing. Elora trembled with fear at the thought of Caspian no longer wanting to be with her and leaving Elora ... leaving her alone as before. Loneliness became a scary thing for Elora now.After sinking into despair, Elora roamed the manor suite, which was twenty times as big as her apartment while drinking half a bottle of whiskey she had taken from the minibar. Elora was unconscious after that, and it allowed her to sleep without dreaming bad things. Elora had only fallen asleep when someone shook her body gently.“El, get ready. We’ll be leaving soon.” Caspian’s voice whispered softly in Elora’s ear. Elora groaned and rolled over, realizing too late that she had fallen asleep on the sofa. Elora almost fell to the carpeted floor, but Caspian deftly caught her.

“Your house?” repeated Caspian. He sounded incredulous. “Are you sure?”Elora was very sure. The memory hit her like a storm that suddenly came after the silence. Rumbling and shattering Elora’s mind. It was almost terrible because Elora was remembering part of her past just by coming here and seeing this house. Elora stepped hesitantly, climbing the stairs one by one until she came to a large terrace.“This is my house… I live with my father and my mother, and my brothers.” Elora said it was almost beyond her consciousness. “None of the pack members’ lives with us, because—” Elora put her hand on the closed door. “We are too dangerous.”Almost without a push, the door opened. There was only darkness in it that could be seen through the gap in the door. “People came and went, reporting the condition of the pack members to my father. But they never stayed….” El

Elora sat straight up on Caspian’s lap.“What did you say?” she hissed.Caspian let out a short laugh and then smiled. A sweet smile that melted Elora’s heart in an instant. Caspian didn’t answer, his hands busy reaching into the pockets of his jeans. Elora shifted slightly, so Caspian could do it more easily.Caspian held out his clasped hand, then lifted it and opened his palm right in front of Elora. In his hand was a diamond ring.“I bought it last night.”Elora flinched. “You didn’t buy it after getting drunk at the bar, did you?”“I’m not you.” Caspian joked.“Why me?” Elora folded her arms in front of her chest with a snort.“Drink half a bottle of whiskey and put on your lover’s clothes.”“I told you it wasn’t—”Elora’s words stopped when Caspian covered Elora’s li
