The Lost Moon of silver

The Lost Moon of silver

"Please, I have to go home." That's what I told the man in front of me. I begged him to let me go, but in my heart, I pray he never will.  How crazy is that? How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane. Unfortunately, that line of sanity suddenly breaks when Ricky goes too far, and Nefra makes a stupid choice. After all, it's just a cake. Who cared about that?  Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Nefra quickly learns that nothing is by chance. So, what started as a painful but necessary trip to the store turned into an unexpected adventure.  After all, she never put mate on her shopping list. Not that it mattered to Ivan. The Alpha of the Sebryanny Kinzhal pack from Colorado who's slowly coming back from a year of hell. All he wanted was to find peace and figure out what he was supposed to do with his life. The moon goddess had an answer, and she set him up to find the one thing he needed to be saved.  So, when Nefra crashed into his truck and he saw her, Ivan knew she was his destiny. Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.

Daryn parted his lips as if to say something. Dawn could feel all the heat that emanated from his body, from his breath. She clasped the cold wall and stared into his eyes. He drew a faction closer and her breathing hitched. Her mind left all the reasoning. This was not what she had expected in his office. It was the first time she had even stepped in there.  "I am unable to stop thinking about you Dawn," he whispered. She bit her lip to stop herself from touching his lips and feeling him.  Daryn grabbed the back of her neck and his lips fell on hers. She shuddered.

Forever Destined to the Silver Shadow

Forever Destined to the Silver Shadow

When the man in front of her tried to touch her hand, she instinctively took a step back from him—as she didn’t want him to get hurt.  “Please don’t touch me for your sake,” she said to him.  The man smiled a little and replied,” Don’t worry about me, Celestia! Nothing will happen to me.” She was startled as he had called her by her actual name. She had kept her identity a secret—as no one is supposed to know who she really is.  “How do you know my…. real name?” she asked him nervously.  “I know everything about you, Celestia,” he said and moved near her. “I know you better than you know yourself—" Her heart throbbed when his hand got near her skin. She thought that he would be thrown away from her and get severely injured—just like all the other men did. But surprisingly, nothing happened to him when his sturdy hand clasped her pearly white fingers. With his other hand, he held her chin and fixed his alluring gaze on her.  “How... How are you even able to touch me?” Celestia asked him.  “Because you are mine—" he answered in a deep tone. “Others weren’t able to touch you—as you only belong to me—" She winced slightly when he suddenly grabbed her tiny waist and pulled her closer to him. Then he leaned down and kissed her pale cheek.  “Only I get to touch and kiss and make love to you! Because you are forever destined to live with me,” he whispered in her ear and made her shudder.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He is feared by everyone else in her kingdom. His powers are infinite, and he can do things beyond other’s imagination.  Even though everyone considers him dangerous, Celestia sees a different version of him. He is ruthless and cold to others—but whenever he sees her, he surrenders himself to her. Despite the warnings of others, she finds herself slowly falling for him. Even after she becomes his lover, she is unable to predict his true nature. What are his true motives? And what circumstances are forcing him to join hands with the dark side? And why does he desire Celestia so much that he is willing to kill any man who even thinks of touching her?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join my discord server to view pictures of characters and more https://discord.gg/MCNHfvH7m8 Chat with the author directly there and give your feedback.

The Barber, Grandpa Barber, is here to read and understand.
Since there was no specific reading comprehension topic, the following analysis of several aspects of the hairdresser in the reference materials was to help with possible reading comprehension: ** 1. The image and working status of the hairdresser ** 1. ** Traditional image and equipment ** - The traditional image of a hairdresser was often a craftsman who walked the streets. They carried a shaving tool. On one end was a wooden cabinet with a wooden stool on it. On the other end was a special washbasin with a copper washbasin and towel. Under the washbasin was an earthen stove with charcoal. For example, the hairdresser on the streets of Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty had such typical equipment. Some modern village barbers, such as Lame Zhao, also had similar traditional elements. He had a tricycle with crutches, coal stoves, aluminum kettles, washbasins, washbasins, chairs, large wooden boxes, honeycomb briquettes, and other tools. These tools reflected that their work needed to be carried out at different locations at any time to provide customers with services such as haircuts and shaves. 2. ** Norms and taboos at work ** - The hairdresser had his own rules, such as the three no-brainer rules of "changing hair": no no-brainer when passing the temple (to avoid ghosts and gods), no no-brainer when crossing the bridge (to avoid scaring the Dragon King), and no no-brainer when passing the shaving shed (to avoid peer business). Also, he couldn't drink alcohol before work, and he couldn't eat onions, garlic, and other foods that had a pungent smell. This reflected the seriousness of their industry tradition and their compliance with professional ethics. 3. ** Work Flow ** - Take Cripple Zhao's work process as an example. He would first wrap a white cloth around the customer, put a towel on the armpit of the neck, and then adjust the water temperature for the customer to wash his hair. When washing his hair, he would polish his face with soap, rub his hair with washing powder, and then rinse it with an aluminum pot. When cutting hair, he would take out a clipper from the wooden box and cut the hair carefully. When shaving, he would first draw a razor on his belt and then shave the customer's face. These processes demonstrated the meticulous and professional nature of the job. ** 2. The Barber in the Social and Cultural Contexts ** 1. ** The Barber in the Historical Setting ** - In history, the hairdressing industry first appeared in the Han Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, there were workshops that specialized in making hairdressing tools, and the term "hairdressing" was also born. The Manchu government's "hair-cutting order" made the hairdressing industry develop unprecedentedly. At the same time, there were also folk customs such as "Don't shave your head in the first month, shave your head to death uncle", which was rumored from "missing the old times", reflecting the close relationship between shaving and society and culture in the historical development process. 2. ** The Barber in Society ** - In some stories, the relationship between the hairdresser and the people around him was complicated and varied. Like in Arlin's story, the hairdresser and Arlin formed a relationship of service and customer. Arlin was a left-behind child, so she had a helpless attitude towards the hairdresser. In the village, Lame Zhao had a normal relationship of service and being served. At the same time, in social interactions such as matchmaking, he had a unique situation in his marriage relationship because of his own profession and physical condition. This reflected the status of the profession of a hairdresser in society and the views of others. If there are specific reading comprehension questions, such as questions about character shaping, theme, plot development, etc., you can further answer them according to the above analysis.

The Barber of the Eighties
In the 1980s, the hairdresser went from village to village to provide hairdressing services to the villagers. At that time, there were few specialized barbershops in the countryside, and the men in the village were mostly cut by barbers who went from village to village. The barbers usually carried a load. On one end of the load were wooden boxes and stools (there were two drawers for shaving tools), and on the other end were stoves and firewood. On the wooden frame were iron basins, towels, and long sharpening emery cloth. They came to the intersection in the middle of the village (the terrain was high and there were yellow lotus trees to shade them, and there was a wheat straw field next to it) to carry out their hairdressing work. There was no need for modern communication equipment such as speakers. Once they arrived in the village, everyone would know. They would heat up the water in the iron basin and cut the hair of the middle-aged laborers first. The children would be the last. Nowadays, most people in the countryside went to the barbershops in towns or markets to get their hair cut.

Northeast Barber
In the northeast, the role of a hairdresser had a unique meaning and story. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the northeast was a special environment. There was a vacuum of power, order was not effectively established, and banditry was rampant. Under such a background, a hairdresser who rewrote the territory of the northeastern Hu bandits appeared. He was not handsome, but his courage was extraordinary. The gang he was in had fallen into internal strife after Tianhe was captured and killed, while another gang leader, Li Erwai, had risen under the protection of the army. This hairdresser volunteered to formulate and implement the plan to " kill Erwai Li." He used his identity as a hairdresser to disguise himself and sneak into Erwai Li's territory. After successfully assassinating Erwai Li, he was still humming a tune when he escaped. This reflected the complicated social power relationships in the northeast at that time and the huge influence that small figures could have. At the same time, in the concept of daily life, whether it was the so-called high-end stylist, hairdresser, etc., in the northeastern dialect, they were essentially all shavers. This reflected the simple and direct view of the Northeasterners towards this profession.

Barber Ghost
In some stories, there were plots related to the hairdresser and ghosts. For example, there was a story where a hairdresser met a beautiful woman in the middle of the night. He took out the bell that hairdresser used to attract customers and the beautiful woman revealed her true form. It turned out to be the ghost of Ruyan Liu, the deceased mistress of the house. This meant that in such stories, the hairdresser might have some special items or abilities to deal with the appearance of ghosts. There was also a story about a grandfather who was a hairdresser. After he shaved the heads of the dead, he saw the ghosts of the dead before he died. These ghosts might have been the people he had served. These stories reflected that in the context of folklore or creative stories, there was a special connection between the hairdresser and the ghost. This connection was often revealed through some strange plots.
