Harlan fell silent.
He knew I was right.
After settling Emily down, Harlan and I drove back to our apartment.
But as soon as we got out of the car, Harlan seemed to sense that something was off.
âDebra, someoneâs been following us,â he whispered in my ear seriously.
âBe prepared to fight.
They might try to ambush us.
â
Debraâs POV:
I immediately became vigilant.
I didnât know who sent this person, nor could I tell how strong the other party was.
Harlan and I were on high alert, ready to turn into wolves at any time.
Suddenly, a small figure emerged from the shadows
âMommy!â Elena approached us, her beautiful blonde hair Looked almost silver in the moonlight.
She was wearing the pink dress I had bought her before.
As she ran to me, she looked like a beautiful woodland fairy.
Behind Elena was Anna.
âElena? Whatâre you doing here, baby?â
I was pleasantly surprised.
Elena was the last person I was expecting to see at this time.
Harlan, on the other hand, didnât Let his guard down.
He pricked up his ears and looked around like a cheetah searching for its prey, ready to fight against any enemy.
But when Elena bounded over and called him in a sweet voice, his sharp eyes softened in an instant.
âElena, what brings you here?â

Harlan stretched out his arms to hug Elena, but it seemed he was scared that he might hurt her, so he ended up holding his arms out awkwardly.
He didnât even know where to put his hands, which made him look silly.
Anna explained with a smile, âElena has missed you so much.
When Debra sent me her new address, Elena kept pestering me, begging me to bring her here.
She wanted to surprise you, so we hid in the bushes while waiting for you.
â
Harlan couldnât help but chuckle heartily when he heard that this was Elenaâs idea.
But the next second, he coughed and tried to hide his smile, complaining, âAlthough it was a nice surprise, Elena, your sudden appearance would disturb our work.
â
âBut I miss you and Mommy!â Elena stuck out her lower lip pitifully.
Harlanâs tone softened immediately.
âAlright, alright.
Just donât do that again, okay?â
He tried to make himself sound tough, but I could tell that he didnât want to hurt Elenaâs feelings.
âOkayâ¦â Elena said softly, looking a little depressed.
Seeing this, Harlan sighed helplessly.
âI know you miss your mommy, Elena.
You didnât do anything wrong, so donât be sad.
Iâll drive Anna home first and Let you and your mommy have some alone time, okay?â
