453–Back In Pack And He Visits
Madeline:
“This is such a better place than the cabin, Mommy. When I looked outside, I saw people walking past our house,
Amy commented with a huge smile on her lips. 5
There was a big road too. Amy jumped up and down happily and showed me a few little dance moves as she expressed her excitement about our new home.
“Yes, Mommy. Does that mean we can, uh, look outside the window at nighttime and stare at the sky?” Bodhi asked, all smiles.
“Of course you can,” I replied, gently touching their cheeks before turning to look at Lady Eugenia and Lord Jonah. (1
“I’ll be in my room,” Lady Eugenia muttered without giving me another glance.
That was her way of telling me her judgment of me was still the same.
“You have done an incredible job securing a safe place for us,” Lord Jonah said.
Unlike Lady Eugenia, he was not ungrateful. He walked over to me and placed his hand on top of my head. 1 “Jonah, are you coming or not?” Lady Eugenia shouted from the top of the stairs.
I had given her the bedroom at the top of the stairs. She rarely came out, so it was better if she stayed there.
It was not a luxurious house, but it was a beautiful Victorian–style home, and it felt perfect. It had a cozy front porch, a backyard, and a garden. I did not think there was much more I could ask for.
There were two bedrooms on the first floor along with the kitchen and living room. Upstairs, there was another bedroom and a guest room, each with separate balconies.
It was small, but it was very pretty.
My children were in the room right beside mine. To be honest, I did not want us to sleep in separate rooms, but I had to help my children learn to be independent again.
They could not stay with me forever, even though I wished I could keep them close. Being with me did not promise them safety.
I felt deeply saddened.
I sat on the bed and tucked my children’s clothes into the closet. When I saw Gina’s clothes, my chest tightened. After I returned, they had given me the belongings that once belonged to my children.
Among them were Gina’s clothes and toys. Ever since I laid eyes on them, I had not been able to rest properly.
“I miss you my baby,” I whispered as I closed my eyes, and a warm tear rolled down my cheek.
“Mom, when is Gina coming home p>
I had not noticed when Elara came back into the room. I knew they had been playing in the living room with

their old toys. Watching my children so happy had given me relief for a few minutes before sadness settled in again.
“Elara, honey, we have already talked about it, and I told you what happened to your sister. She’s with the Moon Goddess now. She’s living her best life in heaven,” I said as I tucked Gina’s clothes into a bag to place in the basement.
The basement was something I had not explored yet, but I planned to move all the things I could not bear to see to either the basement or the attic.
“No, but that is a lie,” Elara said, holding her teddy tight in her arms and staring at me.
I sighed because I remembered how much they had cried last time. I could not watch them mourn again.
“What makes you say I’m lying?” I asked tiredly.
“Because I feel it. I feel her with me,” she whispered, and her lips trembled. (4)
I stepped toward her and knelt in front of her, holding her tiny hand.
“It’s okay to miss her. But all we have to do is pray for her, okay?” I said as I pulled her into a hug.
“Why did it happen to her? She was such a nice kid. If anything, I was the bad one p>
Elara’s words made me pull back and stare at her.
“No, you should never say that. None of you are bad, and none of you should have gone through that. Why would you say that?” I asked, shaking my head.
“Grandma said that to me the other day.” (3
As she whispered those words, my head straightened. I watched her in silence while anger bubbled inside me. All this time, I thought that woman was grieving. Instead, she was still causing harm behind closed doors and hurting my children.
“Your grandma is wrong, okay?” I said, not caring that I was speaking badly about their grandmother in front of them. “And you will not listen to anything she says next time, okay? If she tells you anything like that again, you come straight to me and tell me right away p>
As I spoke, my daughter nodded and gave me a gentle hug.
“No, get away from me. I don’t like you. You’re a bad man p>
Bodhi’s voice made my spine stiffen. I lifted my head from Elara and looked out of the bedroom.
I got up quickly and hurried out with Elara to find Bodhi in the living room with Alpha Graham.
