Alice Hoffman Novel Novels & Stories

The serious one could be a buzzkill. Once home I laid on the couch reading a book finding myself nodding in and out. I hadn’t slept really well the night before and it was starting to catch up with me. I awoke sometime later feeling that something was off. My phone had fallen to the floor so I picked it up seeing it was almost five o’clock.

Adassah’s POV ‘Okay, I'm looking at the wrong ceiling’ I jumped out of the bed looking everywhere for my phone unfortunately, I can't find it. I stop when I hear the shower running and I began to panic. 'Did I have sex last night?' 'No' Alera replied in a bored voice. "How would you know?" she shook her head in annoyance. "If you read erotic books like I do instead of your history cold War, etc, and have a little bit of research on it. You would know that when you lose your virginity there could be bloodstain"

Kaleb told them. I looked at Kaleb as they let the information sink in. It took a few minutes before what we told them sank in. I saw a huge smile spread across Liam’s face as tears started falling from Alishyl’s eyes. Kaleb hugged his mother as Liam wrapped his arms around me. The four of us sat around the table talking about the pup as we ate lunch. That weird feeling that I knew Alishyl already same slinking back in. Her scent was so familiar, but at the same time I could not place it. She also had an aura. Yes, she was the former beta female, but it was more than that. Her aura felt like that of an alpha. We moved to the living room after we had finished eating. “I have been meaning to a

Alice immediately found her thoughts funny and absurd. Why would she need a crime board? Yes, she wanted answers and justice for Helena's death, but she was no detective. She was clueless at solving crimes, and Helena's case was not a game she could just barge into. Alice heaved a deep sigh as she stared at the vast mall in front of her. The illuminated place was vibrating with a happy and carefree buzz. Whispers of joy and squeals of laughter were everywhere as kids and teenagers ran around, buying costumes for the nearing Halloween.

It was the only hope I had in a surviving the woman. Drink up, lunch times far and my head hunter has just resigned, she chuckled warmly, but there was nothing warm about her. She was an ice queen. Searching the room again, I saw no traces of Hoffs presence. Yes, hes gone. He was getting rather annoying. Now drink up. The mug shook in my grip as I carried it up to my lips, my mind busy manufacturing ideas on what could have happened to Hoff. A glint in the witchs eyes confirmed my suspicions. She had murdered him.

"Maybe it was about whoever lived here before." Ashley's eyes widened. "Alice?" "I'm just saying. This was her room. Her scholarship. Maybe someone didn't want a new person poking around." Ashley was quiet for a long moment. Then she said, "You talk a lot about Alice, Nova. For someone who just got here." My pulse quickened. "I told you. I'm a true crime writer. Her case is... interesting." "Interesting." Ashley's voice was flat. "That's one word for it."

Past Naomi and Tessa’s worried voices, past the crowd and the flashing lights and the questions buzzing in the air. Out. I just needed out. The cold air outside hit me like a slap. I stumbled down the stone steps into the garden behind the Alpha mansion, my breath ragged, my heart pounding like it was trying to break free from my chest. No. No, no, no. This couldn’t be real. They couldn’t be my mates. Anyone but them. I found the old stone railing at the far end of the garden and gripped it with trembling fingers. My wolf whimpered in my chest, longing for them. Longing. Like she was desperate to return to something we had waited for our whole lives.

Or the new girl watching from the shadows, her ring glinting as she nodded to herself. The hallway was a blur of lockers and chatter, the air heavy with the promise of rain outside. Alice’s heart pounded, her senses still sharp, her nails aching. She felt them all—Liam’s forbidden love, Kane’s burning promise, Mira’s hidden plan, Elara’s quiet hope, and the stranger’s cryptic presence. And somewhere, closer than she knew, the Alpha was waiting.

That the heat crawling up my neck is from the sun, not shame. But I can’t help but care. Despite the dread filling my stomach, the scene looks like something out of a storybook. The late evening sunlight pours in through the gaps in the trees, giving the clearing an ethereal glow that glints against the soft fur of shifted wolves. And as usual, I can only watch with envy from the edge. “Hey, Kane!” someone yells.

She knew I never wanted to be Alpha and was quite happy being the pack doctor, maybe she was trying to plan ahead but everything went wrong when Kiwi killed our father. It saddened me to think she had kept Kiwi a secret for so long. Not just her but father too. If mother knew she existed, did father? He had worked so hard on trying to teach me how to be an Alpha. Alexander and Kayla’s arguing break my thoughts, they had moved back down the corridor again and all I could hear was Kayla shrieking about how they were mated by the Moon Goddess and how he should love her. Rolling my eyes, I make a point of slamming the door shut, I wanted to read more of the book. Flipping the page to the one Kay
