Power that worked without her attention meant influence she could not fully see. Later that day, an unexpected visitor arrived. Not an enemy. Not an ally. A scholar. He introduced himself simply and bowed deeply. “I have studied records older than your city,” he said. “And I believe you should read this.” He presented a weathered book bound in dark leather. The air around it felt heavy, old. Aria hesitated, then took it. The moment her fingers touched the cover, the presence stirred again. Stronger now. Closer. “What is this,” Luca asked.

Lucky bastards. Sleep feels like a fantasy lately. I have not closed my eyes properly since Misha’s almost attack on Aria. I push the thought down and hand Madam Lisa a folded piece of paper. “Good morning, Madam Lisa. Do you know where I can find books on these subjects?”

Clara's POV I take three books from Kael's study when I leave. He doesn't stop me. Just watches with those sad silver eyes as I walk out with my stolen knowledge. Back in my room, I spread the books across the bed. One is about wolf bonds. Another talks about ancient curses. The third is older than the others, its pages yellow and brittle like they might crumble if I'm not careful. "The Arden Prophecy: A Complete History." I open it slowly, and a piece of paper falls out. It's Kael's handwriting. I recognize it from the journals in his study.

The image was too familiar. My vision blurred for a moment… ~~ Flashback - 999 Years Ago ~~ “See, Damon, come in! Look at all the books!” Aria had squealed, pulling me by the hand into a little bookshop nestled in the heart of the capital. She twirled between the shelves, the smell of old parchment thick in the air. “I love the smell of books,” she laughed, hugging a dusty novel to her chest. “Doesn’t it make you feel safe?”

"It could be anywhere." "Then we split up. I'll take the left side, you take the right." "Luna, if someone comes—" "I'll howl. Now go." They separated. Aria moved through the shelves, her fingers trailing along spines. Black leather. Brown leather. Red cloth. Green canvas. Book after book, none of them white. She passed sections labeled in faded ink: Royal Decrees, 1400-1500. Witch Trials, Northern Territories. Bloodline Records. Curse Studies.

I remembered the book and how much I enjoyed it. Taking the book out of the drawer, I noticed another book in the drawer. When I pulled it out, there appeared to be a smaller book inside. Bringing out the book inside, I rose from the seat. It was the archive. What was this doing in Aria's room? Where did she find it?

She always ran away from reading. I walked over to the shelves, carefully grazing my fingers over the binded pages, taking all the words in. Then there was a specific one that piqued my interest. “What's this?” I pulled it out as the words on the cover page caught my eye. The Legend of the Arctic Wolf “Ah, this one's a masterpiece, my favorite of all,” Xavier said, looking at the book in my hand. “Really? What's it about?”

Saturday morning, after breakfast, Don gave Caroline the three books together. Not the individual copies, which she had received over the years of their publication—The Inside Account in the fifteenth year, The Ground Keeps in the sixteenth, The Emergent World in the eighteenth. She had read each one when it was published, had written to them about each one, and had discussed them with Ernest and Don on subsequent visits. But Don had had a set bound together: The Inside Account and The Ground Keeps and The Emergent World in a single volume, the three books bound in dark green leather with a title stamped in gold on the spine: THE INSIDE ACCOUNT / THE GROUND KEEPS / THE EMERGENT WORLD.

- Crystal's POV - I pushed open the door to the study. As soon as I entered, the odor of books filled the room. Five large bookcases stuffed with books on philosophy, economics, military, and management. Every book looks old. I took down a few random books and saw handwritten annotations in each one. It seems Arthur could become the most famous Alpha by virtue of his hard work and erudition. Seeing so many books made my heart settle down a little. I've heard that the books one has read will melt into his bones, blood, and thoughts.
